SingPost earlier this month announced it is selling its subsidiary offering fourth-party and third-party logistics solutions in Australia – which is ranked among the top five of such players Down Under – at an enterprise value of A$1 billion (S$856.4 million).
For shareholders, this would translate to SingPost reaping some S$312.1 million in gains on disposal.
