    SHAREHOLDERS of mainboard-listed Sembcorp Marine will vote on Thursday (Feb 16) over the company’s proposed combination with Keppel Offshore & Marine (KOM).

    The S$4.5 billion deal – which was announced nearly a year ago – is a major decision for shareholders on the company’s future. Proponents say the acquisition of KOM could create an enlarged and more competitive offshore & marine group.

    But opponents say Sembmarine is overpaying.
