All eyes on possible OUE offer for F&N

November 15 will decide whether tug-of-war commences.

Here's more from BBVA:

The corporate story of the year is reignited this week when F&N shareholders will discover if OUE is to put up or shut up as its self-imposed deadline of 15 November looms.

If an offer does materialise it could spark a tug-of-war for F&N, akin to the corporate tussle for its half-owned subsidiary Asia Pacific Breweries which saw Heineken the eventual victor.

The ball is ready to be flung back into Thai tycoon Charoen’s court after spending a number of weeks with OUE. The big question is whether Charoen has got it right having called OUE’s bluff by not improving his $8.88 offer for the conglomerate.

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.
