Offer to acquire Penguin International extended to 6 July

The original closing date is on 22 June.

The offer to acquire all the issued and paid-up ordinary shares in the capital of Penguin International was extended beyond the first closing date of 22 June.

"The offer will remain open for acceptance for not less than 14 days after the date on which the offer would otherwise have closed, to give those Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer the opportunity to do so," read the bourse filing from Penguin International. 

Offeror Aleph Tav Limited announced that it intends to make Penguin International its wholly-owned subsidiary and does not want to preserve the latter's listing status.

"Accordingly, the Offeror, if and when entitled, intends to exercise its rights of Compulsory Acquisition and does not intend to take any step for the public float to be restored and/or for any trading suspension of the Shares by the SGX-ST to be lifted if, inter alia, less than 10% of the total number of Shares (excluding any Shares held in treasury) are held in public hand," read the statement.

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.
