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.

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.
