UOB initiates offer to buy out Silverlake Axis shareholders

Shareholders can either receive $0.36 in cash or $0.30 and a new type of share.

United Overseas Bank (UOB), on behalf of E2I Pte. Ltd., announced its plan to make a voluntary, unconditional offer to acquire all issued and paid-up ordinary shares of IT firm Silverlake Axis Ltd.

In a bourse filing, UOB is offering two options to shareholders: either to receive S$0.36 in cash for each share they sell; or to receive $0.30 in cash and one new type of share.

The new share will not be traded on any stock exchange and will be bought back by E2I Pte. Ltd for $0.18 each in five years.

The sale does not include the company’s treasury shares and those that E2I Pte. Ltd. already owns or has agreed to buy, UOB said.

The same offer will also be extended to shares that are owned or acquired by the shareholders.

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.
