Asia Enterprises to acquire over 28% stake in GKE Metal Logistics

The transaction amounts to $8.86m, or $24.75 for each share.

Asia Enterprises Holding Limited has entered into a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with Hung Lin Holding Ltd for the acquisition of 358,000 shares (28.64%) in GKE Metal Logistics Pte. Ltd. for $8.86m, according to a bourse filing.

The book value of the sales share, being 28.64% of the existing total issued and paid-up capital of GKE Metal Logistics, is at around $4m-$4.5m, respectively, as of 30 June 2024.

The proposed acquisition will be settled by issuing 28.4 million new ordinary shares to the vendor, Li Jing, at an issue price of $0.312 per consideration share.

The issue price of $0.312 represents a premium of approximately 240% to the volume weighted average price of $0.130 (VWAP) for each share of the company based on trades done on the SGX-ST on 30 December 2024, the last full market day when the shares of the company were traded before the execution of the SPA.

Once completed, Li Jing will hold approximately 7.69% of the enlarged total issued and paid-up capital of Asia Enterprises.

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.
