Wilmar apparently not giving up on PCSMA

Wilmar subsidiary Sucrogen gets a second chance with PCSMA members voting once more in October on the purchase offer.

A Reuters report noted, “Sucrogen has agreed to Proserpine members having a second opportunity to vote on its offer in October, it said in a statement, adding that it will continue its financial support to Proserpine.”

Sucrogen CEO Ian Glasson was quoted as saying, "Maintaining our offer will allow Proserpine growers more time to recognise the attractiveness of Sucrogen's offer compared to previous rival offers."

In order for Sucrogen’s offer to be approved, at least 75% of voting Proserpine Co-operative Sugar Milling Association members need to vote in favour of Sucrogen’s offer to acquire PCSMA’s assets.

During the first voting, Sucrogen got only 70% positive votes from PCSMA members.

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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
