Temasek announces $0.08 per share cash offer for SembCorp Marine

Its subsidiary, Startree Investments, plans to acquire all ordinary shares of Sembmarine.

Temasek Holdings announced a $0.08 per share cash offer by one of their subsidiaries, Startree Investments Pte. Ltd. to acquire all issued and paid-up ordinary shares of Sembcorp Marine.

This is in response to Sembcorp Marine’s announcement on 24 June 2021, where its $1.5b rights issue of up to 18.8b new shares will have an issue price of $0.08. This received approval from the shareholders at a general meeting held on 23 August. The rights have been issued by the company on 22 September, completing the recapitilisation of Sembcorp Marine.

Under the rights issue, Startree provided an undertaking to Sembcorp Marine for its pro-rata entitlement and excess rights shares, with these not being more than 67% of the rights issue. Around 9.3 million rights shares were issued to Startree, which resulted in a 4% increase to its aggregate value from 42.6% to about 46.6%.

This increase in aggregate shareholding by more than 1% triggered an obligation for Startree to make the MGO for the shares of Sembcorp Marine. Due to this, Startree has determined the Rights Issue price of $0.08.

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.
