OSIM suspends trading as CEO passes 96% ownership mark

Sim can now compulsorily acquire dissenting shareholders’ shares.

OSIM International has suspended the trading of its shares following founder and CEO Ron Sim’s move to raise his stake to 96.03% at the close of his privatisation offer.

According to the company’s announcement, reaching the 96% threshold provides Sim the right to compulsorily acquire the remaining shares still currently owned by dissenting shareholders.

Sim has expressed that he will exercise this right, and will nab the shares at the final ex-dividend offer price of S$1.39 in cash for each share.

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.
