Metro Holdings Limited Sets Up New Subsidiaries in Singapore

Key Developments

• Metro Holdings Limited (“Metro” or the “Company”) has announced the establishment of two new subsidiaries as part of its ongoing business expansion strategy.
• The first subsidiary, Metro Lifestyle Pte Ltd, is incorporated in Singapore with an initial issued share capital of S\$10,000, consisting of 10,000 ordinary shares. Metro Holdings Ltd is the sole registered member.
• Metro Lifestyle Pte Ltd has in turn set up another subsidiary, Grand Brands Asia Pte Ltd, also incorporated in Singapore with an initial issued share capital of S\$10,000 (10,000 ordinary shares).
• Shareholding in Grand Brands Asia Pte Ltd is split between Metro Lifestyle Pte Ltd (7,500 shares, 75%) and EUT Solutions Pte Ltd (2,500 shares, 25%), the latter being an independent third party.
• Metro Lifestyle Pte Ltd will serve as an investment holding company, while Grand Brands Asia Pte Ltd will focus on retail trading activities.

Shareholder Impact & Price Sensitivity

• The Company reports that the establishment of Metro Lifestyle Pte Ltd and Grand Brands Asia Pte Ltd will not have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets or earnings per share of the Metro Group for the financial year ending 31 March 2026.
• No directors or controlling shareholders of Metro Holdings Limited have any interest in these transactions other than through their existing shareholding in the Company.
• The move appears to be part of a broader business development effort, but given the small size of the initial share capital and the explicit statement of immaterial impact, there are no immediate price-sensitive implications or significant changes to shareholder value at this time.
