AEM Holdings sells shares in ATECO for $6.8m

Lack of profitability prompted the sale.

AEM Holdings unit AEM Singapore Pte. Ltd sold 470,504 common shares and 994,220 preferred shares in South Korean company ATECO for $6.8m.

The unit entered the share purchase agreement with institutional investors LB Innovation Growth Fund II, JP-IBKS Innovation MPE Fund No. 1, JP-IBKS Innovation MPE Fund No. 2, New Deal Extension New Technology Fund No. 1, and Foong Wai Fee, a registered director of ATECO.

The buyer will settle the amount via wire transfer of immediately available funds to AEM’s account. The closing of the sale and purchase shall take place within 10 business days.

Explaining the rationale behind the sale, AEM said its board determined that the equity ownership in ATECO no longer offered strategic benefit for all parties, especially given the lack of profitability.

AEM started the process of finding a strategic buyer late last year.

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.
