Suntec REIT (SUN SP): Tang’s Curious Bump
- Back on the 5th December, Gordan Tang (& his wife Celine) acquired a 2.14% stake in Suntec REIT (SUN SP), lifting their stake to 31.45% from 29.31%, triggering a MGO.
- This had all the hallmarks of a technical Offer. The Offer price was S$1.16/share compared to the S$1.17/share undisturbed price. The IFA opined the Offer was not fair nor reasonable.
- The Tangs have now bumped to S$1.19/share. Terms are not final. The IFA viewpoint won’t budge. This is an opportunistic move from the Tangs. But why not roll the dice?
Experts Chart Course For Vietnamese Rubber To EUDR At Seminar
- The Vietnam Rubber Seminar held on December 12, 2024, saw experts presenting their assessment of challenges facing the Vietnamese rubber sector in complying with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
- While rubber industry expert Dr. Tran Thi Thuy Hoa, during her holistic survey, offered actionable tips for Vietnamese operators to tackle EUDR, FSC Vietnam Country Manager Vu Thi Que Anh highlighted the role of FSC Certification in meeting the EU Regulation.
- Challenges in EUDR compliance Dr. Tran Thi Thuy Hoa said Vietnam’s rubber supply chain remains both complex and fragmented, which poses substantial challenges for EUDR compliance.
