Lian Beng unit SLB Development eyes Catalist listing

It plans to offer 238 million shares for 23 cents each.

The wholly-owned unit of Mainboard-listed Lian Beng, SLB Development, plans to list in the Catalist board and raise net proceeds of $51.4m. According to its offer document, it will offer 238 million new shares, which includes 230 million shares for placement for 23 cents each.

It chose SAC Capital Private Limited as the underwriter.

SLB Development said the proceeds will go to the acquisition of new land sites and buildings for the development and the overseas expansion of its business. The funds will also finance its exisiting projects and the repayment of a bridging loan.

The company, incorporated in October 2017, develops and sells residential, mixed-use, industrial, and commercial development properties mainly in Singapore. It also started operations in the People’s Republic of China through a joint venture participation in the Gaobeidian Project.

Immediately after the invitation, Lian Beng’s stake in SLB Development will fall to 73.93%.

SLB Development’s profit fell from $69.41m in 2016 to $15.85m in 2017, due to lower share of results from joint ventures and the completion of the mixed-use development project The Midtown & Midtown Residences.

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.
