Isetan Singapore to suspend share trading on 29 August

The suspension follows court sanction over the scheme for the company's privatisation.

Isetan Singapore will suspend the trading of its shares starting at 9 a.m. on 29 August.

The suspension follows the court sanction on the Scheme of Arrangement (SOA) proposed by Japan-based Isetan Mitsukoshi to privatise Isetan (Singapore) Limited.

Isetan Mitsukoshi plans to acquire 19,500,000 shares in Isetan Singapore for $140m (JPY15.7b) via SOA.

"SOA is conditional upon the approval from a majority in number representing 75% in value of the shareholders present and voting at the shareholders meeting [of Isetan Singapore]," Isetan Mitsukoshi said.

Should all the scheme conditions be satisfied, it will become "effective and binding upon the lodgement of the Scheme Court Order with Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA)."

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.
