PERENNIAL Real Estate Holdings chief executive Pua Seck Guan said he is "not disappointed" that the Yanlord-Perennial consortium's offer for United Engineers (UEL) did not go through, as it was never its intent to gain full ownership of the target company to begin with.
The consortium had no choice but to make an offer; the mandatory general offer was triggered by its purchase of OCBC's approximately one-third stake in UEL in July this year.
