The private placement was upsized from the initial 66.313 million units totalling $100m. The issue price was fixed at $1.508 per unit.

Most of the proceeds will be used to partly finance the Phase 1 of a business park in Bangalore, India. $3m will be used to pay the expenses from the private placement, and another $3m will be for funding existing pipeline projects and repaying debts.

The trading of the units in SGX-ST is expected to start on 28 November.

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.
