Shares in Singapore Press Holdings (SPH SP) stopped trading a week ago. The election period to choose cash or cash and SPH REIT shares started yesterday.
The OBVIOUS choice is to take the cash. But you have ten days to see SPH REIT gain 2% to change your mind. 
I note Keppel wanted SPH back when SPHREIT was worth a fair bit less, but at that time they didn't want SPHREIT when an MGO would have been cheaper.
