Sembcorp Marine rights issue undersubscribed

Temasek bought the remaining almost 1.03b unsubscribed rights shares.

Semcorp Marine’s rights issue was undersubscribed with valid acceptances and excess applications received for only about 9.4 billion rights shares, or only 90.2% of the 10.46 billion rights shares available, according to an SGX filing.

As a result, Temasek’s subsidiary Startree had to sweep in and subscribe the balance of more than 1.02 billion rights shares pursuant to the sub-underwriting agreement.

More than 36.34 million ‘nil-paid’ rights for rights shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to ineligible shareholders have been sold ‘nil-paid’ on the main board of the SGX-ST during the ‘nil-paid’ rights trading period.

The company expects the 10.46 billion rights shares to be allotted and issued on or about 11 September.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
