SATS shareholders greenlight acquisition of Worldwide Flight Services 

Of the total votes, 96.80% were in favour of the transaction.

Shareholders of SATS Ltd. (SATS) have approved the company’s proposed acquisition of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) via voting at an Extraordinary General Meeting.

The results of the poll showed that 96.80% of the total number of votes were in favour of the transaction. 

“With the receipt of shareholder approvals, the proposed acquisition of WFS now remains
subject to requisite regulatory approvals,” SATS said.

SATS said it is eyeing to complete the acquisition by March or April 2023.

The airport service company will finance the transaction partly by way of a Proposed Rights Issue to raise to approximately $800m. 

“In proceeding with the Proposed Rights Issue, the terms and timing of the Proposed Rights Issue will be determined by SATS in agreement with its underwriters and published at the appropriate time,” it announced.

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.
