OUE reveals grand plans behind F&N bid

Gobbling up F&N provides much-needed regional presence.

OUE has announced that it has put forward a volutonary conditional cash offer for all the issued and paid-up ordinary shares in the capital of F&N at S$9.08 for each F&N share.

"Upon completion of the APBL Disposal and divestment of the F&B business, F&N will become primarily a property player. The Offeror (OUE) views F&N as one of the leading integrated property companies in Singapore with a strong track record of success and a highly attractive property portfolio, which is complimentary to OUE's existing property portfolio. Combining both portfolios will further establish OUE as a leading property player in Singapore and expand OUE's footprint in Singapore and regionally," explained OUE as the rationale for the offer and its intentions for the company.

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.
