OUE expands into healthcare real estate market

It launched a cash offer for IHC at $0.106 per share.

Integrated property developer OUE Limited announced its intention to launch a mandatory unconditional cash offer for International Healthway Corporation Limited.

The offer is to purchase a further 593,470,029 shares, representing 35.77% of the share capital of IHC.

According to OCBC Investment Research, OUE currently owns a 57.6% aggregate stake in IHC, which makes its offer unconditional.

"Management intends to expand into healthcare real estate which will be a strategic fit to its existing asset portfolio," OCBC noted.

OUE executive chairman Stephen Riady said, "Given the rapidly ageing population in Japan and Asia and the consequent rising demand for healthcare, it is a timely entry into a sector that we see has tremendous growth potential.”

It added, “With OUE’s proven expertise in property development, we can leverage our experience and track record to add value to the quality assets under IHC’s portfolio."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
