Hong Leong Asia to spin off engine unit for Hong Kong IPO

The Singapore firm seeks HK listing for marine, genset arm.

Hong Leong Asia Ltd is planning to spin off its subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Marine and Genset Power Co., Ltd. (MGP), and list the company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX).

In a filing to the Singapore Exchange (SGX), Hong Leong Asia said MGP has submitted a listing application to HKEX as part of the proposed separation.

The company said it had consulted SGX Regulation on the plan, and the exchange’s market regulator indicated it has no comments on the proposal based on the information provided.

SGX added that it may revise its position if circumstances or regulatory requirements change.

Hong Leong Asia does not expect to seek shareholder approval for the spin-off, as MGP is considered a principal subsidiary and the transaction structure is not expected to trigger a vote under current listing rules.

The company said the proposed listing is subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions, with no assurance the spin-off will proceed.

It added that further announcements will be made if there are any developments.

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.
