Pressure rises for F&N with TCC's offer extension

Decision time is until 2 January.

According to an SGX announcement, TCC gave extra time to F&N to mull over accepting the former's offer of S$8.88 per share. 

Here's what a portion of the announcement said:

The Financial Advisers wish to announce, for and on behalf of the Offeror, that the closing date of the F&N Offer has been extended to 5.30 p.m. (Singapore time) on 2 January 2013, or such later date(s) as may be announced by or on behalf of the Offeror.

Accordingly, the F&N Offer shall close at 5.30 p.m. (Singapore time) on 2 January 2013, or such later date(s) as may be announced by or on behalf of the Offeror (the "Extended Closing Date").

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
