Soilbuild Group (K6M.SG) +12.1% at $0.79 on strong volume, closing in on $0.80/share price offered by controlling shareholder Lim Chap Huat to take developer private, according to Dow Jones.
OCBC Investment Research suggests investors accept offer: “While we like Soilbuild’s focus on capital management and the budding stream of recurrent rental income that will support dividends, this offer presents an opportunity for shareholders to cash out of a fairly illiquid investment at reasonably attractive terms.”
Offer, made through Lim’s investment vehicle Dolphin Acquisitions, values Soilbuild at around $418 million.
Dolphin, together with other shareholders agreeing to delisting offer, now owns 73.09% of company.
Independent financial adviser will be appointed in due course to advise Soilbuild, minority shareholders.
