KepCorp now owns 67.8% of KepLand barely a week before takeover deadline

It still needs to buy over 340m shares.

The clock is ticking for Keppel Corp’s $3b privatisation bid for Keppel Land. With barely a week before the offer deadline, KepCorp yesterday revealed that it now owns 67.8% of its subsidiary.

KepCorp has received 9,055 valid acceptances representing 13.3% of KepLand shares, amounting to 205,448,849 offer shares.

KepCorp still has to acquire over 340 million shares in order to cross the 90% ownership threshold, which will trigger a mandatory compulsory acquisition and delisting action.

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.
