The anonymous party admitted it has made an offer of S$1.4b.

In a release, OUE confirms that it has made an offer the Hospitality Business for an aggregate consideration of approximately S$1.4billion. OUE has carefully evaluated and prepared its offer and believes that it provides an attractive combination of value and certainty for all F&N shareholders.

OUE notes the announcement on 10 October 2012 by Fraser & Neave that it has received an unsolicited offer from an unnamed party to acquire the hospitality and serviced residence business of F& N (Hospitality Business) for an aggregate consideration of S$1.4 billion.

The offer is in line with OUE's long-term, strategic goal of growing and developing its business. Hospitality is one of OUE's businesses. The Hospitality Business is a global business and is one of the leading Asian brands in the sector.

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.
