    KEPPEL Corporation on Friday launched a voluntary unconditional cash offer for all the remaining shares of its real estate subsidiary, Keppel Land.

    Currently, KepCorp owns 54.6 per cent of KepLand.

    The base offer price is S$4.38 for each KepLand share. This values Kepland at about S$6.8 billion and represents a premium of 25 per cent, 29 per cent and 28 per cent over the one-month, three-month and six-month volume weighted average prices (VWAPs) of Kepland shares respectively.

    KepCorp will raise its offer price to S$4.60 for each KepLand share, if it receives the 90 per cent acceptance threshold required to exercise its rights of compulsory acquisition.

    This values KepLand at S$7.1 billion and represents a premium of 31 per cent, 35 per cent and 35 per cent over the one-month, three-month and six-month VWAPs of Kepland shares respectively.
