SingPost completes sale of Freight Management Holdings for $867m

Special dividend to be disclosed “in due course.”

Singapore Post (SingPost) has completed divestment of its Australian logistics business Freight Management Holdings (FMH) to Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) for A$1.02b or approximately S$867m.

The divestment generated gross proceeds of A$781.5m (S$664.2m), and SingPost expects to gain S$289.5m for the group.

SingPost said that it would allocate the sale proceeds towards reducing debt, including the repayment of A$362.1m (S$307.8m) in borrowings related to the FMH acquisition.

SingPost’s board will also disclose the amount of a special dividend in due course.

SingPost had earlier obtained “overwhelming approval” or 99% of shareholders’ vote in favor of the sale during its extraordinary general meeting on 13 March 2025.

In an announcement, SingPost described the sale as necessitating a “strategy reset” for the group, with earnings in the interim dependent on its Singapore postal and e-commerce logistics business, its international e-commerce logistics business, and two major non-core assets SingPost Centre and Famous Holdings.

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.
