Hong Leong Asia units extend deadline for acceptances of Tasek offer

This is the second time they made an extension, which was originally set on 23 June.

Hong Leong Asia’s subsidiaries HL Cement (Malaysia) and Ridge Star have extended the deadline of receiving acceptances in regards to the proposal to acquire all remaining shares in cement manufacturer Tasek from 17 July to 3 August, an SGX filing revealed.

This is the second time they made an extension, which was originally set on 23 June. Hong Leong offered to acquire the remaining ordinary shares and preference shares in Tasek after it raised its stake in the latter to 92.42%. 

The latest move follows after Ridge Star acquired another 22,400 Tasek ordinary shares for $42,267.93, bringing its stake in the firm to 96.59%.

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.
