Why is there a Mandatory Conditional General Cash Offer (MGO) by Temasek/Startree? Where can I find more information about the MGO?
To comply with the requirements of The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (“Code”), Startree Investments Pte. Ltd. (“Startree” or the “Offeror”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, announced a mandatory conditional general cash offer on 22 September 2021 to acquire all the issued and paid-up ordinary shares (“Shares”) in Sembcorp Marine Ltd (“Sembcorp Marine”) that it and its concert parties (collectively, the “Offeror Concert Party Group”) do not already own, at S$0.08 per Share in cash (the “MGO”).
On 24 June 2021, Sembcorp Marine announced its S$1.5 billion renounceable underwritten rights issue (“Rights Issue”) of up to 18,833,459,491 new Shares at an issue price of S$0.08 per rights share (“Rights Share“). The Rights Issue received shareholders’ approval at an extraordinary general meeting held on 23 August 2021 and the Rights Shares have been issued by Sembcorp Marine on 22 September 2021, completing the recapitalisation of Sembcorp Marine.
As part of the Rights Issue, Startree provided an irrevocable undertaking to Sembcorp Marine to subscribe for its pro rata entitlement and excess Rights Shares such that its total subscription will be no more than 67.0% of the Rights Issue. As a result of its undertaking, Startree was issued approximately 9.3 million Rights Shares, resulting in a 4% increase in its aggregate shareholding from approximately 42.6%1 prior to the Rights Issue to approximately 46.6%2.
The increase in aggregate shareholding by more than 1% triggered an obligation, under the Code3, for Startree to make the MGO for the Shares of Sembcorp Marine that the Offeror Concert Party Group do not already own, at not less than the highest price at which the Offeror Concert Party Group has acquired Shares in the six months immediately preceding the announcement of the MGO. Consistent with its obligations under the Code, Startree has determined the Rights Issue price of S$0.08 to be such applicable highest price and accordingly, the offer price is S$0.08 per Share in cash (the “Offer Price“).
The Offer Price is final and Startree will not revise the Offer Price or any other terms of the MGO.
The MGO will be open for acceptance by Shareholders for 28 days from the date of posting of the Offer Document. The Offeror does not intend to extend the MGO beyond the closing date of 28 days from the Offer Document.
For details on the MGO, please refer to the Offer Announcement dated 22 September 2021 and the related Press Release. Updates on the MGO will be made via Sembcorp Marine’s SGXNet announcements accessible at this link and the SGX-ST website,
1 Based on the then-existing Shares in issue as at the announcement of the Rights Issue, excluding treasury shares.
2 Based on the Shares in issue as at the announcement of the MGO following the allotment and issuance of the Rights Shares, excluding treasury shares.
3 A mandatory general offer is triggered where any person who, together with its concert parties, holds between 30% and 50% of the voting rights of a company and such person, or any of its concert parties, acquires additional shares carrying more than 1% of the voting rights of the company in any six-month period.
Is it mandatory for Shareholders to tender all their Shares to Temasek/Startree at S$0.08 or can they retain all or part of the Shares? Are Shareholders able to reject?
It is not mandatory for Shareholders to tender their Shares to Temasek/Startree. All Shareholders are free to retain or sell all or part of their Shares to Temasek/Startree at their discretion.
What is the indicative timeline for the MGO?
The MGO will be open for acceptance by Shareholders for 28 days from the date of posting of the Offer Document. The Offeror does not intend to extend the MGO beyond the closing date of 28 days from the Offer Document.
The indicative dates are as follows
| Formal Announcement of MGO | 22 September 2021, Wednesday (Singapore time) |
| Electronic dissemination of Offer Document | Between 6 October 2021, Wednesday and 13 October 2021, Wednesday (Singapore time) |
| Electronic dissemination of Sembcorp Marine’s Circular | Within 14 days after the despatch of the Offer Document |
| Closing Date of the MGO | 28 days after posting of the Offer Document |
What is the Mandatory Conditional General Cash Offer conditional upon?
In compliance with the requirements of the Code, the MGO is conditional on the Offeror receiving valid acceptances such that the aggregate shareholding of the Offeror Concert Party Group exceeds 50% as at the close of the MGO. If the valid acceptances received are such that the aggregate shareholding of the Offeror Concert Party Group is less than or equal to 50% as at the close of the MGO, the MGO will not become unconditional and will lapse. All Shares tendered in acceptance of the MGO will then be returned to Shareholders.
Is the intention for Sembcorp Marine to remain listed following the MGO?
It is the current intention of Startree for Sembcorp Marine to remain listed on the SGX-ST following completion of the MGO, but Startree reserves the right to re-evaluate its position, taking into account, among other things, the level of acceptances received by Startree in respect of the MGO and the prevailing market conditions at the relevant time.
