OCBC offers $900m to delist Great Eastern Holdings

The exit offer price is final.

OCBC is offering to acquire the remaining 6.28% of shares it does not own in Great Eastern Holdings for $900m or $30.15 each.

Great Eastern Holdings has been on a trading halt since 15 July 2024 after its free float fell below 10%.

In a bourse filing, the company said that if the delisting cannot be achieved, it will seek shareholders’ approval on a second proposal to restore the free float.

OCBC’s exit offer is subject to the approval of at least 75% of the total number of issued shares held by shareholders at an upcoming extraordinary general meeting (EGM).

OCBC said its exit offer price is final, and it has no intention of launching another offer in the future.

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.
