Keppel Corp fails to hit compulsory acquisition threshold for KepLand privatisation bid

It now owns 95.1% of KepLand.

Keppel Corp has failed to hit the compulsory acquisition threshold in its attempt to take Keppel Land private. KepCorp owned 95.1% of KepLand when the offer closed yesterday, failing to breach the level required for the higher offer price of $4.60 per share.

KepCorp will instead pay out the lower offer price of $4.38 per share. Remaining Keppel Land shareholders have the right to require KepCorp to acquire their shares at $4.38 in cash.

KepCorp reiterated that it intends to delist Keppel Land after the close of the offer.

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.
