Suntec REIT (SUN SP): Tang’s Curious Bump

By David Blennerhassett

  • 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?
