Great Eastern issues bonus shares with trading set to resume

After the issue, GEH will have 503.03 million ordinary shares.

Great Eastern Holdings Limited (GEH) said shareholders have chosen to receive 443.61 million Class C non-voting shares and 29.71 million bonus ordinary shares from its planned bonus share issue of up to 473.32 million shares.

The shares were given on a one-for-one basis to eligible shareholders.

After the issue, GEH will have 503.03 million ordinary shares and 443.61 million Class C non-voting shares.

Public investors will own about 11.76% of the ordinary shares, meeting the Singapore Exchange’s requirement.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) will hold 88.19% of the ordinary shares and all of the Class C shares.

With the public shareholding restored, GEH will ask for its trading suspension to be lifted.

Trading is expected to restart on 21 August, when the bonus ordinary shares will also be listed on the SGX.

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.
