[SINGAPORE] Ong Beng Seng and Wheelock Properties yesterday jointly launched a $3.50-a-share cash offer for Hotel Properties Ltd (HPL), reviving market talk that the company would redevelop its substantive and adjacent assets along Orchard Road.
Announcing the offer on behalf of offer vehicle 68 Holdings, Standard Chartered Bank said 68 Holdings has agreed to buy almost 42 per cent of HPL for about $750 million from Mr Ong, his wife and his associates, and Wheelock, thus triggering a mandatory offer for the rest of the company.
Explaining the deal, 68 Holdings said: " OBS, as the co-founder of HPL, David Ban and Wheelock Singapore have been long-term shareholders of HPL and they share a common vision and strategy for HPL. They have therefore decided to consolidate their shareholdings in HPL so as to be in a position to cooperate and implement their shared objectives for HPL and to enhance value over time."
Yesterday' s announcement said 68 Holdings has agreed to acquire 41.91 per cent of HPL, comprising 213.98 million shares at $3.50 each. Of this, 18.44 per cent is from Mr Ong and two companies controlled by him, Reef Holdings and Como Holdings, and 20.16 per cent from Nassim Developments. The remainder is from Mr Ong' s wife, Christina and David Ban and his wife, Pat.

A few years ago it offered at $4.05.  Mr Ong & WL managed to accumulate a lot of shares (but still remained listed). The next offer will likely to be much higher.

Hold and waiting good news
Volume quite high today, is HPL waking up?
Should have something new to attract tourists and stop having uniqlo, LV , prada, Rolex shop etc....so boring.
Everytime when SIngapore economy is bad, we create some IRs. Lets make the whole Orchard Road into another Las Vegas strip!
HPL has been very quiet after developed the property with capitaland on interlace and de leedon and so far there is no news on any further redevelopment on the orchard area where the 2 hotels Hilton and four seasons situated now. How I wish government can let HPL to have a gaming license to run a casino there. )

After 68 Holdings and Peter Fu lock up over 85%   shares of HPL, it is so much more easier to push up the share price. So. I guess that is the real reason why they do the offer.

You can sense the buyers are very cautious not to push the price up too much. Obviously, they want to buy more at current price before it ran away.
