Sembcorp: We did not breach any law in Cascal bid

Sembcorp's statement was in response to Cascal's filing of legal proceedings in the New York District Court as the US-listed Dutch water company seeks recovery of damages.

A PRNewswire release said, "The Board of Directors of Cascal rejects Sembcorp's proposal as unacceptable and coercive, and recommends that Cascal common shareholders take no action to respond to a below market tender that Sembcorp Industries Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd, said it intends to make."

Sembcorp had previously announced its acquisition of 17,868,543 Cascal shares through a tender offer and stockholder support agreement with Biwater Investments Limited.

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.
