Logistics firm Chasen Holdings 5NV , which operates across the region, is selling a 72% stake in a group of subsidiaries to an unnamed "international company" for $67.4 million.
Upon completion of the deal, which is subjected to regulatory approvals, the company can pocket a net gain of around $59.3 million.
Based on the company's share base of just over 387 million shares, the sale, if completed at this price, will net a gain of 15.3 cents per share.
Chasen's last traded share price was 4.7 cents, down 21.67% year to date, valuing the company at $17.1 million. As at Sept 30, its NTA per share was 16.8 cents.
"The Board wishes to emphasize that there is no certainty or assurance that any transaction will occur," the company says in a holding announcement on Dec 22.
Chasen, in the same announcement, has yet to provide details too on which are the subsidiaries that are part of the sale.
