Japfa Limited offers to buy back 9% of shares in an off-market deal

It plans to repurchase the shares for $0.355 each.

Mainboard-listed Japfa Limited has offered to repurchase 183.3 million or 9% of its shares at $0.355 each.

The agri-food company will conduct an off-market purchase under an equal access scheme to buy back its shares.

The offer price is 6.0% above the last traded price on the SGX-ST on 19 August 2024.

The price is also 8.6%, 17.5%, 22.4%, and 27.7% higher than the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the three-, six-, nine-, and twelve-month periods leading up to 19 August, the last trading date before the buyback announcement.

If the company purchases the maximum number of shares allowed under the Equal Access Offer, it will pay $65.1m

The company will fund the purchase through internal resources or external borrowings, or a combination of both.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
