iFAST confirms CP invest’s $134m share sale

Stake cut from 9.6% to 4.9%.

iFAST Corporation Ltd. (iFAST Corp) has confirmed that its substantial shareholder CP Invest Ltd (CP Invest), formerly known as SPH Invest Ltd, has sold 14.35 million shares in the company.

The transaction was carried out via a block trade handled by UBS and Morgan Stanley.

Data from the Singapore Exchange (SGX) showed several married trades amounting to 14.35 million iFAST shares executed at $9.12 each, representing a 6.7% discount to Monday’s closing price of $9.77. The block is valued at around $134m (US$104m).

If confirmed, the sale reduces CP Invest’s stake in iFAST Corp from about 9.6% to 4.9% of issued shares. This would result in CP Invest ceasing to be a substantial shareholder of the wealth management platform.

iFAST Corp said that the placement involved no issuance of new shares by the company.

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.
