SIA’s offer for Tigerair shares draws to a close

Non-responsive shareholders will be frozen out.

The clock is ticking for Tigerair shareholders as Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) general offer closes today. With the compulsory acquisition threshold achieved during the offer period, Tigerair will soon be a wholly owned subsidiary of SIA.

According to OCBC, shareholders who did not respond to the offer can expect a letter from SIA on the compulsory acquisition of their shares.

Separately, SIA has also received its first Airbus A350-900, which arrived in Singapore yesterday morning and is the first of the 67 A350 aircraft on order.

OCBC notes that although the new A350s will allow SIA to serve more long-haul destinations with improved fuel efficiency, the yields on the airline’s key routes to Europe are still under pressure as competition heats up with Gulf carriers like Emirates and Qatar Airways.

“While we remain cautiously optimistic on the potential significant savings from cheap jet fuel, we think SIA’s hedging policy may continue to reduce such savings on significant hedging losses,” states OCBC.

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.
