SCI, Sembmarine shareholders approve demerger deal

With the three resolutions approved, the right issue may now proceed.

Sembcorp Marine and Sembcorp Industries (SCI) have announced that the three resolutions were duly approved and passed by the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) held on 11 August, an SGX filing revealed.

T S Tay Public Accounting Corporation was appointed as the scrutineer for the EGM.

At Sembmarine's EGM, 98.76%, or shareholders of some 1.4 billion shares, voted for the rights issue, whilst 87.72 per cent, or shareholders with a collective 121.3 million shares, voted for the whitewash resolution.

At the Sembcorp's EGM, 99.67 per cent, or shareholders of 302.6 million shares, voted for the distribution resolution.

As the three resolutions are inter-conditional, this meant that the right issue may now proceed.

This follows after shareholders expressed concerns over what could happen in the event that the two firms were not able to garner shareholder approval. Sembmarine and SCI assured that the deal will unlock shareholder value.

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.
