INGAPORE - After failing to acquire British football club Liverpool, Singaporean billionaire investor Peter Lim (left) is now settling for a hospital.
Mr Lim, who has a reputation for being a savvy investor, is taking control of Thomson Medical, which runs a woman-and-child-care hospital in the republic.
He made the general offer worth $513 million after his private firm Sasteria bought a 39.34 per cent stake in the company from its founder and largest shareholder, Dr Cheng Wei Chen and his family.
Dr Cheng and his family sold their shares at $1.75 apiece for about $202 million.
Under the Singapore Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the cash offer will be extended to minority shareholders.
This is conditional on Sasteria acquiring more than 50 per cent of Thomson Medical.
The offer price of $1.75 represents a 62 per cent premium over the last traded price of Thomson Medical.
The transaction values the company at approximately $513 million.
In an announcement last night, Mr Lim said Thomson Medical has the potential to develop into a regional health-care company.
Thomson Medical shares rose 1.9 per cent to $1.08 on Thursday before a trading halt on Friday.
Popularly known as the "Remisier King'', Mr Lim made news globally early this month when he offered £320 million ($662 million) to buy over the financially troubled Liverpool FC.
The club eventually went to rival bidder New England Sports Ventures which also owns the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
