Templeton reduces Parkway stake to 4.97%

US fund manager sold 357,000 shares as Khazanah and Fortis fight for control of Parkway.

U.S. fund manager Templeton, one of Parkway Holdings' largest institutional shareholders, has cut its stake in the Singapore healthcare firm following a series of sales earlier this month.

Malaysian state investor Khazanah and Indian healthcare giant Fortis, which each own around 25 percent of Parkway, are currently tussling for control of the Singapore firm, as reported in Reuters.

Templeton now owns 4.97 percent of Parkway, down from 5.04 percent previously, after selling about 357,000 shares between July 8 and July 14, Parkway said in a disclosure to the Singapore Exchange.

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.
