Singapore Billionaire secures stake in SGX-listed firm A-Smart

In total, the stake for Oei Hong Leong is worth $5.37m.

Singapore-based billionaire Oei Hong Leong will take a stake in SGX-listed firm A-Smart Honldings at a 50% premium, seeing opportunities in ASEAN-bound Timor-Leste.

Under the proposed placement, A-Smart will raise gross proceeds of $5.37m through the issuance of 29,812,473 new ordinary shares to Oei. 

“At $0.18 per share, the issue price translates to a 50% premium to A-Smart’s closing price of $0.12 on 6 December 2022,” read the statement.

The new ordinary shares will be subjected to a two-year moratorium starting from the share issuance date.

The amount of new ordinary shares to be issued “represent 20% of A-Smart’s existing share capital or 16.67% of its enlarged share capital.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
