Fullerton Health completes RRJ Capital-led merger

This came after the healthcare provider reached a settlement with two ex-directors.

Singapore-based Fullerton Health has completed a merger led by RRJ Capital (RRJ) involving an equity injection by the private equity firm and a senior loan totalling $282.24m (S$390m), the healthcare company said in a press release.

The company said the merger has been legally completed under the laws of the Cayman Islands where it is registered, after having received approval by 85.8% of shareholders on 5 May. The merger involved the combination of Fullerton Healthcare Corporation with Fullerton Health and the latter continuing as the surviving entity.

RRJ has subscribed for $101.32m (S$140m) of new ordinary shares in Fullerton Health, whilst the company has entered into a senior loan facility agreement for $180.92m (S$250m) with three reputable banks, Fullerton Health said.

RRJ’s existing perpetual securities and convertible preference shares have been cancelled and offset against $130.26m (S$180m) worth of new shares issued by Fullerton Health, as well as subordinated debt and cash.

Following the merger, RRJ is now the majority shareholder of the Company. The remaining stakes are held by shareholders, such as Ping An Capital, who have elected to rollover.

A new nine-member board of directors will be set up for Fullerton Health. David Sin of SIN Capital and two other co-founders, Dr Michael Tan and Dr Daniel Chan will no longer be involved with the Board. The two doctors reached a settlement agreement with the company last month.

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.
