Ipco acquisition of Asia Plan stake falls through

Vendor Brentwood Overseas backs out due to US housing surge.

In a disclosure to the Singapore Exchange, Ipco International Limited announced that its conditional agreement to acquire the balance 30% shareholding interest in Asia Plan Ltd from Brentwood Overseas Ltd has been terminated by the latter vendor.

Due to the recent revival in the US housing market, the vendor has decided to continue holding on to his stake in Asia Plan.

Ipco said it has agreed to accept the termination, and neither the vendor nor the company will have any further claim against the other in respect of the agreement. The termination of the agreement will not have any material effect on the net tangible assets or earnings per share of the company for the current financial year.

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.
