ST Electronics to divest interest in subsidiary

ST Engineering's electronic arm entered into an agreement to sell its entire 51% equity interest in Brightspot Interactive Learning Pte Ltd (BSIL).

The interest will be sold to one of BSIL's existing shareholders for a total cash consideration of S$6,000.

The consideration was arrived at on a willing buyer willing seller basis taking into account the current financial position of BSIL.

Subsequent to the sale, BSIL will cease to be a subsidiary of STEE-T&S, a wholly owned subsidiary of ST Electronics.

In a statement, ST Engineering said the divestment is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial year.

The divestment of BSIL is a result of an ongoing business review to streamline STEE-T&S' operations.

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.
