Sembcorp's majority stake in Cascal rises to 96.43%

Sembcorp now intends to complete the acquisition of the company by effecting squeeze-out proceedings under the Dutch Civil Code, with the price paid to minority stockholders to be determined by the Dutch Court.

The subsequent offer period of the tender offer by Sembcorp's wholly-owned subsidiary Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Cascal expired as scheduled at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on 30 July 2010. The offer was at a price of US$6.75 per share in cash, less any withholding taxes and without interest.

"BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, the depositary for the Offer, has advised that a total of 1,285,495 Shares have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the subsequent offer period (including all of the shares tendered and not withdrawn in the initial offer period), representing approximately 4.18% of the issued and outstanding shares," said a Sembcorp announcement.

In addition, all of the shares validly tendered and not withdrawn have been accepted for payment.

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.
