Keppel – Is There More to the Keppel O&M Deal than Meets the Eye?
- This report aims to examine the rationale and structure of the transformative deal in February 2023 when Keppel spun out its Offshore and Marine (“O&M”) division.
This AssetCo transaction was selected because (1) The substantial size, at S$4.4bn, was equivalent to 14% of Keppel’s assets or 37% of its shareholder equity as of Dec 2022.
(2) Highly complex transaction with extremely generous financing terms granted by Keppel, which received no cash for selling legacy rigs at its carrying cost.
