Temasek to buy security system supplier D'Crypt for $100m

StarHub previously bought the military security firm for $122m in 2017.

Temasek has entered into an agreement with Starhub to acquire 100% stake in the cryptographic technology firm D’Crypt for $100m, an announcement revealed.

StarHub and the founding shareholders will receive an initial aggregate cash consideration of $100m and an additional earn-out consideration of up to $33.6m if they achieve agreed business and performance milestones.

Meanwhile, Temasek and StarHub’s joint venture cybersecurity company Ensign InfoSecurity will be issued preference shares and be fully entitled to the economic rights of D’Crypt, whilst StarHub will hold 60% of the economic interest in D’Crypt through its shareholding and interest in Ensign.

StarHub acquired D’Crypt for $122m last December 2017. D'Crypt services clients in the military, security, and government sectors across the globe.

The transaction is expected to be completed in November.

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.
