Sanjuro’s offer to Hwa Hong declared unconditional

The offer will close on 1 August.

The new offer of Sanjuro United Pte. Ltd, a consortium of substantial shareholders of Hwa Hong Corporation Limited, has been declared unconditional after it managed to secure 51.29% of the shares in the company.

In a press release, Hwa Hong said that if Sanjuro manages to secure not less than 90% of the total shares other than those the consortium and its members already hold, Sanjuro may exercise the right to compulsorily acquire all the shares from shareholders who have not accepted the Offer at a price equal to the final offer price. 

However, if Sanjuro does not meet the 90% threshold by 1 August, Hwa Hong will remain a public entity and shares will continue to trade according to the prevailing market conditions, subject to the company meeting the Free Float Requirement under the Listing Manual. 

Shareholders who wish to accept the offer are advised to submit the relevant acceptance forms by 1 August 2022 at 5:30 pm.

In May, Sanjuro offered the shareholders of Hwa Hong a voluntary conditional cash offer of $0.37 per share to take the company private. It was raised to $0.40 per share last June.

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.
