ST Engineering loses Cubic Corporation bid

American firm Cubic Corporation chooses the proposal of rival bidders over the Singaporean company's bid.

ST Engineering has dropped its deal in US-based defense firm Cubic Corporation.

This, following Cubic's acceptance of the rival proposal submitted by Veritas Capital and Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation.

"We appreciate the engagement of the Cubic Board and management team throughout this process. ST Engineering is well positioned for further value creation and will continue to execute on the many other opportunities we have to be a key Smart City solutions provider on the global stage," said ST Engineering CEO and Group President Vincent Chong in a bourse disclosure.

Veritas and Evergreen offered a US$75 per share offer, lower than ST Engineering's US$78 per share proposal.

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.
