Hwa Hong offer closes with around 92% acceptance

This is equivalent to 602 million shares. 

The valid acceptances of the offer to acquire Hwa Hong Corp. reached an aggregate share of 602.34 million shares, or 92.29%. 

This comes as Sanjuro United Pte. Ltd. sought to acquire Hwa Hong Corp. and turn it into its wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the acquisition offer, Sanjuro seeks to abandon the listing status of Hwa Hong.

Considering more than 90% of the total shares were acquired, Sanjuro will be entitled to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire shares from shareholders who have not accepted the offer. 

It was earlier reported that if the acquisition falls short of the 90% threshold, Hwa Hong will remain listed.

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.
