Singapore company briefs: Sea Ltd., ESR-REIT, The Trendlines Group, Singapore Post (SingPost), Freight Management Holdings and Don Agro International.
Sea Ltd.
Sea Ltd.’s CEO Forrest Li sent the superapp’s employees a 900-word memo Monday, addressing the plunge in gaming and e-commerce player’s market capitalization in an unusual move for a typically reticent company, according to a Bloomberg report Monday.
“Do not fear: we are in a strong position internally, and we are clear on our next steps. This is short-term pain that we have to endure to truly maximize our long-term potential,” Li said, according to the report.
In response to recent setbacks — which included major shareholder Tencent selling off a portion of its stake, India banning its mobile game, and a difficult earnings report — Sea has been revealing more data to investors, the report said.
ESR-REIT
ESR-REIT said Monday it has completed the divestment of the property at 45 Changi South Avenue 2 in Singapore for S$11.1 million.
Following the divestment, the REIT has a portfolio of 54 properties in Singapore, ESR-REIT said in a filing to SGX.
