SingPost completes sale of Freight Management Holdings for $867m

Special dividend to be disclosed “in due course.”

Singapore Post (SingPost) has completed divestment of its Australian logistics business Freight Management Holdings (FMH) to Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) for A$1.02b or approximately S$867m.

The divestment generated gross proceeds of A$781.5m (S$664.2m), and SingPost expects to gain S$289.5m for the group.

SingPost said that it would allocate the sale proceeds towards reducing debt, including the repayment of A$362.1m (S$307.8m) in borrowings related to the FMH acquisition.

SingPost’s board will also disclose the amount of a special dividend in due course.

SingPost had earlier obtained “overwhelming approval” or 99% of shareholders’ vote in favor of the sale during its extraordinary general meeting on 13 March 2025.

In an announcement, SingPost described the sale as necessitating a “strategy reset” for the group, with earnings in the interim dependent on its Singapore postal and e-commerce logistics business, its international e-commerce logistics business, and two major non-core assets SingPost Centre and Famous Holdings.

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.
