GIC to confront complaints in sale of GLP

It is the biggest investor of the warehouse developer.

Bloomberg Reported that the litany of complaints about the biggest Asian buyout deal became so bad that Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund decided to act.

A bidding process for Global Logistic Properties Ltd., the $9.6 billion warehouse developer, has been running since the start of the year.

In May, representatives of GIC Pte, the company’s largest shareholder, called the GLP working team managing the sale into their offices, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Singaporean fund instructed the assembled group to be more responsive to bidders’ questions and share information transparently in the auction, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions were confidential.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
