DJR proposes delisting of Eastern Asia Technology from SGX

The investment holding company said it has lost competitiveness while faced with increasing global competition.

Eastern Asia Technology Limited and DJR International Ltd, in a joint announcement on Wednesday, said DJR has presented a formal proposal to the voluntary delisting of the company from Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST).

According to the joint release, the Directors have reviewed the delisting proposal and have resolved to convene an extraordinary general meeting (EGM)  to seek the approval of Shareholders for the delisting.

The consideration for the exit offer payable by DJR will be $0.138 in cash for each offer share.

The delisting and the Exit Offer will be conditional on the approval of the Delisting by Shareholders being obtained at the EGM to be convened.

Several reasons were raised to list the company off the market. Among the reasons mentioned were loss of competitiveness, highly unpredictable market, upfront premium, and low trading liquidity, the release said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
