KepLand sells stake in Indonesian hotel for $8.8m

Divestment gains pegged at S$3-5m.

According to OCBC Investor Research, KPLD reported that it has entered into an agreement for a subsidiary to sell its 50% stake in PT Pantai Indah Tateli, a Indonesian company which owns Hotel Sedona Manado in Indonesia, for USD 7.0m (S$8.8m). 

Here's more:

The price was arrived at on a willing-buyer, willing seller basis and took into account prices of comparable properties in the vicinity.

We expect some divestment gains in the ballpark of S$3.0-5.0m from this sale, given that the unaudited book value attributable to KPLD’s stake was S$3.2m as at 31 Aug 2013. Given the size of the transaction, however, the impact on RNAV is likely to be limited.

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.
