Singapore Medical’s VGO: Acceptances at 77.37%, Closing Date Now 15 Nov

By Arun George

  • Singapore Medical (SMG SP)‘s voluntary conditional offer from management (chairman, CEO, exec director) has received acceptances of 77.37% of outstanding shares, below the 90% minimum acceptance condition.
  • The closing date has been extended to 15 November. To hit the 90% minimum acceptance condition, the offeror requires a 55.8% acceptance rate from the remaining holdout minorities.
  • The IFA previously declared the offer “not fair but reasonable.” The gross spread of 1.4% is not an attractive risk/reward profile. We continue to recommend taking profits.

  • As of the first close, TLW now has 77.37%. The Offer has been extended by a fortnight. The Offer price has NOT been declared final.
