Keppel Pegasus wins $34m arbitral award in dispute with SPH

It filed for arbitration against SPH over the attempt to terminate an agreement.

Keppel Pegasus, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keppel Limited, won an arbitral award of $34m in its dispute against Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).

The arbitration amount will also include interest from 29 April 2022, when Keppel Pegasus requested payment of a break fee under its implementation agreement with SPH, accruing at a rate of 5.33% per year until the payment is made.

The arbitral tribunal will decide on the costs in a separate ruling.

In February 2022, Keppel Pegasus filed a notice of arbitration against SPH, now known as Cuscaden Peak Investments Private Limited, over its attempt to terminate the Keppel Implementation Agreement.

The implementation agreement was signed as part of Keppel Pegasus's proposal to acquire SPH through a scheme of arrangement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
