Implications for Shareholders
- Offeror’s Control: With 94.61% of the Company’s shares now owned, controlled, or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror (including valid acceptances), the Offeror is close to achieving full control of Low Keng Huat (Singapore) Limited. This could lead to potential compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares and possible delisting of the Company.
- Key Decision Point for Remaining Shareholders: Minority shareholders are strongly advised to consider the revised offer price and the high level of acceptances. The opportunity to exit at S\$0.78 per share may soon close, and those who do not accept may face liquidity issues if the Company is delisted.
- Price Sensitivity: The revised offer price and high acceptance level are both price-sensitive disclosures. The share price may react to these developments, especially as the offer nears its final closing date.
