GIC to let go of $120m stake in Malaysia’s Sunway

It’s giving everything away.

Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, GIC Pte Ltd, is selling a stake worth more than 400 million ringgit ($120 million) in Malaysia's property-to-construction conglomerate Sunway Bhd, according to a term sheet seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

The shares are being priced in a range between 3.20 and 3.30 ringgit each, the term sheet showed, representing a discount of 1.5 percent to 4.5 percent to Tuesday's closing price of 3.35 ringgit.

Sunway, controlled by Malaysian tycoon Jeffrey Cheah, in September announced plans to re-list its construction business by the second quarter of 2015, a move analysts said would further unclock value and reward Sunway shareholders in the form of cash dividends.

GIC would cease to be a substantial shareholder in Sunway. GIC holds a stake of 8.72 percent in the company, according to Thomson Reuters data, and it is selling a stake of 7.26 percent with an upsize option to sell the rest, according to the sheet.

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.
