Singtel Strategic Investments backs ADVANC tender offer with NewCo

The tender offer will cover the remaining 1.08 billion shares of ADVANC.

Singtel Strategic Investments (SSI) intends to participate in the conditional voluntary tender offer for all remaining securities of Advanced Info Service (ADVANC) alongside Gulf Energy Development (GULF), Intouch Holdings (INTUCH), and GULF’s major shareholder, Sarath Ratanavadi.

The tender offer will cover the remaining 1.08 billion shares of ADVANC, representing 36.25% of the company’s total shares with voting rights.

On 3 October 2024, GULF and INTUCH approved a merger to form NewCo, effectively ceasing their status as separate juristic persons as part of a restructuring effort.

NewCo will assume all assets, liabilities, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of GULF and INTUCH by operation of law. This includes INTUCH’s 1.2 billion shares in ADVANC, which account for 40.44% of the total issued and paid-up shares of the company.

In addition, NewCo will be required to conduct a mandatory tender offer for all ADVANC securities, as its shareholding in the company will surpass the mandatory tender offer threshold.

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.
