Keppel – Is There More to the Keppel O&M Deal than Meets the Eye?

By Tan Yee Peng

  • 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.
