Fincantieri extends Vard Holdings' exit offer to 8 August

The deal is now unconditional.

Fincantieri Oil & Gas S.p.A (Fincantieri) extends its exit offer for Vard Holdings from 7 August to 8 August 2018 as the offer is now declared unconditional in all aspects.

According to an announcement, Fincantieri now holds 87.06% of Vard. It offered to buy all of Vard’s shares for 25 cents each.

As previously said, the delisting will only occur if the Singapore Exchange (SGX) agrees to Vard's application and at least 75% of shareholders approve or not 10% or more vote against the delisting.

About 96% of votes cast the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) were in favour of the delisting.

Vard noted that shareholders that voted in favour of the delisting must still accept the exit offer by completing, signing, and submitting their form of acceptance to Fincantieri no later than 5:30 p.m. on the closing date.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
