ThaiBev proposed share swap with TCC Assets values FPL at $1.89 per share

It will no longer hold any interest in FPL upon completion.

Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev), through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary InterBev Investment Limited (IBIL), has proposed a share swap with TCC Assets Limited (TCCAL). It will involve no cash outlay from either IBIL or ThaiBev.

In the proposed share swap, IBIL will transfer its entire 28.78% shareholding in Frasers Property Limited (FPL) to TCCAL. In return, TCCAL will transfer its 41.30% shareholding in Fraser and Neave, Limited (F&N) to IBIL.

The proposed share swap will occur at a ratio of around 1.88 FPL shares for each F&N share. This ratio was established through negotiations reflecting prices of $1.89 per FPL share and $3.55 per F&N share.

Upon completion, ThaiBev will no longer hold any interest in FPL, and its stake in F&N, held indirectly through IBIL, will rise from 28.31% to 69.61%. Concurrently, TCCAL's stake in F&N will decrease from 58.90% to 17.60%, whilst its stake in FPL will increase from 58.10% to 86.89%.

“Our aim with the proposed share swap is to entrench our position as a stable and sustainable ASEAN leader and cement our pure-play status by exiting the property business,” said Prapakon Thongtheppairot, Group CFO of ThaiBev.

“It also gives us a better ability to strengthen the collective potential of ThaiBev’s non-alcoholic beverage segment and F&N’s beverage and food brands to expand our reach in Southeast Asia,” he continued.

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.
