Singapore Swing For Stats ChipPAC
Shu-Ching Jean Chen, 03.02.07, 12:24 PM ET
Singapore state investment agency Temasek’s surprising offer to take over Singapore-based Stats ChipPAC, one of the world’s largest independent semiconductor testers and assemblers, was seen by observers as a maneuver to position the company for the up cycle expected in the semi industry over the next few years.
Temasek, already the largest single shareholder in Stats ChipPAC (nasdaq: STTS - news - people ) with a 35.6% stake, unveiled an offer worth up to 2.8 billion Singaporean dollars ($1.76 billion) late Thursday evening to buy the rest of the shares it doesn’t own.
Its two-tiered approach appears designed for an eventual delisting of Stats ChipPAC.
Temasek is offering to pay 1.75 Singapore dollars ($1.09) a share if it receives the acceptance of more than 50% of ChipPAC shareholders, but if it can cross the 90% approval threshold to take ChipPAC private, it will pay $1.88 Singapore dollars ($1.18) a share.
The lower offer is 18.2% above ChipPAC’s closing price Feb. 28 and a substantial premium of 40.5% and 55.1% over its average price over the last three and six months, respectively.
In a report, Credit Suisse advised ChipPAC shareholders to hold out for a better offer.
The Temasek bid followed a 23% surge in ChipPAC shares in Singapore in the four sessions before Feb. 27. Its Nasdaq-listed shares spiked 23% on the news Thursday.
Temasek apparently intends to use its ample capital resources to expand ChipPAC’s capacity and make it easier to shop it to potential buyers in future.
Industry leader Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (nyse: ASX - news - people ) is also seeking to go private by selling itself to the U.S. private equity company Carlyle Group. (See: “ ASE Deal Suggests China Plan”)
The market for independent chip testers and packagers is expected to grow to $30 billion annually by 2011.
Gartner Dataquest, an industry consultancy, estimated the global outsourcing of chip assembly and test services will grow by 10.5% in 2007 and by a compound annual growth rate of 9.6% between 2006 and 2011.
ChipPAC is No. 4 in the industry behind ASE, Amkor Technology (nasdaq: AMKR - news - people ) and Siliconware Precision Industries (nasdaq: SPIL - news - people ), as measured by overall assembly and test revenue.
