SPH undertakes strategic review of business

The media giant says it is trying to maximise long-term shareholder value.

Following high net income figures for the first half of the year, Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) has announced that it is undergoing a strategic review.

"While SPH’s Media business continues to face a challenging operating environment and outlook, the Board of Directors believes that SPH remains undervalued and the objective of the strategic review is to unlock and maximise long term shareholder value," it said in a statement.

Credit Suisse (Singapore) Limited will work as the financial advisor for this undertaking.

While this is going on, SPH has advised its shareholders to exercise caution when dealing with company shares.

"There is no assurance that such review will result in any transaction, or that any definitive or binding agreement will be reached.SPH will, in compliance with applicable rules, make further announcements as appropriate," it added.

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.
