1. Jardine Matheson Holdings (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings (SGX: J37)
Jardine Matheson Holdings announced on Monday (08 March 2021) the simplification of the parent company structure of the group.
The plans include an estimated US$5.5 billion acquisition by Jardine Matheson, for cash, of 15% of Jardine Strategic Holdings Limited’s issued share capital that it and its wholly-owned subsidiaries do not already own.
Under the terms of the acquisition, Jardine Strategic shareholders are entitled to receive US$33 in cash for each Jardine Strategic ordinary share that they hold.
The acquisition price represents a premium of approximately 20.2% to the closing price of US$27.45 per Jardine Strategic Share on 05 March 2021.
Jardine Matheson will also cancel Jardine Strategic’s 59% shareholding in Jardine Matheson as part of the acquisition, expected to become effective by the end of April 2021. Jardine Matheson will then own 100% of Jardine Strategic.
The exercise will result in a single holding company with a conventional ownership structure and a further increase in the group’s operational efficiency and financial flexibility, it said in a press release.
