SingTel closes US$770m Trustwave acquisition deal

The total deal price was trimmed by US$40m.

SingTel has completed its US$770m ($1.01b) acquisition of Trustwave, a US-based cyber security company.

The final aggregate consideration for the deal is lower by US$40m ($56.4m) compared to the original consideration of US$810m when the acquisition was first announced in April.

"Trustwave can leverage Singtel's assets and extensive market presence to broaden its overall security portfolio and address the fast-growing security market opportunity, especially in the Asia Pacific region,” said Bill Chang, Singtel Group Enterprise Chief Executive Officer.

With the acquisition finalized, Trustwave has added a number of cyber security assets and capabilities to Singtel including enterprise-grade managed security services for threat, vulnerability and compliance management, over 3 million business subscribers in 96 countrie, more than 1,200 employees located in 26 different countries, and six global Security Operations Centers in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe.

Trustwave, which remains headquartered in Chicago, is now a standalone business unit within Singtel Group Enterprise and will continue to operate under the Trustwave brand.

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.
