SIA to delist Tigerair as shareholders bite sweetened offer

The flag carrier hit 93.8% in acceptances.

After numerous tweaks to its offer, Singapore’s flag carrier has finally hit the 90% mark in acceptances for Tigerair with the final offer valuing the budget airline at $1.13b.

According to a press release by Singapore Airlines (SIA), Tigerair shareholders finally succumbed to a more alluring offer of 45 cents per share made last month.

This offer was up from the 41 cents per share dangled by Singapore Airlines last November.

Meanwhile, SIA’s move to sweeten the offer came last January after clamor by the Securities Investors Association of Singapore to increase the share price.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
