<h2>Singapore</h2>
<h3>Cuscaden Peak minimum chain offer price for each <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sph-reit" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5994" rel="noopener">SPH REIT (SPHREIT SP)</a> unit stands at S$96.4c</h3>
<ul>
<li>The minimum chain offer price, which consortium Cuscaden Peak will have to offer for each SPHREIT if its acquisition bid for Singapore Press Holdings (SPH SP) succeeds is S$96.4c, fully in cash. The consortium had made a surprise rival bid to privatise SPH, following an earlier offer from Keppel Corp (KEP SP). Such an acquisition would take place by way of a scheme of arrangement. Subject to the finalisation of the terms of such a scheme, the completion of Cuscaden's proposed cash acquisition would result in an obligation for it to undertake a chain offer for all SPHREIT units as well, in accordance with the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers</li>
<li>The minimum chain offer price shall be the simple average of the daily volume-weighted average traded prices of SPHREIT units, on either the latest 20 trading days, or whatever number of trading days there were within 30 calendar days before the announcement of the possible offer. The chain offer will not be made unless and until the possible scheme becomes effective in accordance with its terms, or – if Cuscaden undertakes the proposed acquisition in another method – is declared effective or unconditional, and/or is completed. Cuscaden's offer for SPH is S$2.10 per share in cash. Cuscaden comprises Hotel Properties, businessman Ong Beng Seng and two Temasek-linked entities – CLA Real Estate Holdings and Mapletree. Its proposal still needs to be accepted by the board of SPH.</li>
