Why Are Companies In Singapore Delisting?
Aug 11, 2016 Picture: Over the past few months, the Singapore stock market has witnessed a succession of privatisation exercises. Companies that have delisted include OSIM International, China Merchants Holdings, and Eu Yan Sang International to name a few. Forecasts suggest mild consolidation for the Asian markets though, thanks in large part to fears of a rate hike and slump in the price of crude oil. What’s more, if the Singapore stock market follows recent positivity in Europe and the US, made possible by the decision to unlock €10.3 billion in new bailout loans to Greece, there could be plenty of promise for investors, especially via a leveraged product like CFD trading. So, why are companies in Singapore delisting? DETAILS OF RECENT DELISTINGS IN SINGAPORE In March 2016, OSIM International’s founder Ron Sim launched an offer to take the company private. This was followed in May by the majority owner of China Merchants Holdings’ decision to acquire all the company’s shares it did not already own. Earlier this month, Eu Yan Sang International also announced that chief executive Richard Eu made an offer to take the company private with the help of other investors including family members and Temasek, one of the Singapore government’s investing arms. In its fiscal year ended 30th June 2015, Eu Yan Sang saw net profit figures fall from S$15 million to just S$4.6 million. Furthermore, profit shrank by over 90 per cent from $8.2 million to just S$634,000 in the first nine months of FY2016. However, its particularly interesting to note that at the firm’s share price of S$0.65 just prior to the buyout offer, it was valued at 1.8 times book value, meaning Eu Yan Sang has had an average price-to-book ratio of 2.0 over the past three years. REASONS FOR RECENT DELISTINGS IN SINGAPORE One of the many problems listed companies face is keeping track with management responsibilities while at the same time providing quarterly or half-yearly reports to investors. Listed companies on Singapore’s stock market must also answer to public shareholders, making it harder for struggling businesses to implement turnaround strategies successfully. Therefore, if a company decides to go private, it can realign attention on managing core operations with the diminished responsibility of answering to a small handful of investors. However, it is imperative that companies strike the right privatisation deal to satisfy the interests of all parties. Instead of going voluntarily with a general offer, like most delistings, the potential acquirer of Lantrovision recently picked a “Scheme of Arrangement” method for privatisation, which requires a court meeting and vote. Due to its valuation angle, this could have put shareholders in a disadvantageous position, but as Stanley Lim Peir Shenq, CFA explains, a favourable arrangement was agreed upon. “As part of the deal, the company’s three co-founders and all its employees will remain employed after the buyout. As for the minority shareholders, the buyout price is higher than any price at which the company’s shares have been trading at since late 2012.” Contributor / Sophie Davidson Category: Business / Economy Finance / Banking Stocks / IPOs Views FeaturedNews: Show in Featured News TopPicture:

Arianna Huffington is leaving The Huffington Post
[Arianna Huffington]Andrew Burton/Getty Images Arianna Huffington, the founder of The Huffington Post, is leaving the company, The Wall Street Journal first reported on Thursday. Huffington plans to focus on a new startup called Thrive Global, which will launch in November and focus on health, productivity, and wellness issues. The company shares the name of her book "Thrive" and will offer workshops, online courses, and other ways it hopes will help companies improve the well-being of their employees. It has already begun testing its services with the professional services company Accenture, according to a press release sent out by the company on Thursday. Thrive Global secured series A funding last week. A source close to the company told Business Insider it was a $7 million round that valued Thrive Global at $33 million. The investment convinced Huffington she could not remain at the media company she cofounded 11 years ago. She told The Journal: "I really thought I could do both, but as we started building it up, I realized that it really needed my full attention. It is important to know when one door closes and another opens and I felt that moment had arrived." AOL acquired The Huffington Post in 2011 for $315 million. But questions lingered over Huffington's future role at the company after Verizon acquired AOL for $4.4 billion in 2015. Huffington ended up signing a four-year deal in June to stay on as chair, president, and editor-in-chief at the Verizon-owned content business. She told The Journal there had been discussions for her to continue in a different role at The Huffington Post when Thrive Global launches later this year, but she said it wasn't an option. Huffington said: "I have been running Huffington Post for 11 years and I couldn't imagine having another relationship with it." [Tim Armstrong]Andrew Burton/Getty ImagesAOL CEO Tim Armstrong said in a statement that the company intended to partner with Thrive Global in the future. The full statement reads: "Arianna is a visionary who built The Huffington Post into a truly transformative news platform. Today, The Huffington Post is a firmly established and celebrated news source and AOL and Verizon are committed to continuing its growth and the groundbreaking work Arianna pioneered. We are confident that our strong editorial leadership team will maintain the exacting standards and high-quality journalism of our Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom. The Huffington Post draws more than 178 million people worldwide on a daily basis and continues to distinguish itself with groundbreaking reporting and analysis. We remain committed to our mission of making The Huffington Post the most influential and innovative news company in the world. "We are looking forward to partnering with Arianna on Thrive Global and are grateful for what she has done in creating such an iconic brand." Thrive Global's series A round was led by Lerer Hippeau Ventures, the venture fund created by Huffington Post cofounder Ken Lerer, former Huffington Post CEO Eric Hippeau, and Thrillist Media CEO Ben Lerer. Other participants in the round include: Blue Pool Capital, Greycroft Partners, Advancit Capital, Female Founders Fund, Zoë Baird, Nicolas Berggruen, Joanna Coles, Ray Dalio, Mohamed El-Erian, Nick Green, Gunnar Lovelace, Fred Harman, Isabella Huffington, Andre Iguodala, and Sean Parker.
