Today, Keppel Corp (KEP SP) and Sembcorp Marine (SMM SP) made an announcement of revised structure and revised terms.
Under revised terms, Sembcorp will issue fewer shares to Keppel, and it will be a takeover rather than Scheme of Arrangement. Keppel will deliver more shares to shareholders, keeping less. 
Just like the first announcement, there is a little here for everyone. Keppel doesn't do a great job of selling it but it is still win-win.
