Medeze Terminates Partial Offer for Cordlife Group

Medeze Group Public Company Limited (SET: MEDEZE) has announced that Medeze Treasury Pte. Ltd. (MT), a subsidiary of MEDEZE, has concluded its voluntary conditional cash partial offer to acquire shares in Cordlife Group Limited.

Initially, Medeze Treasury Pte. Ltd. proposed to purchase 25,630,774 shares, representing 10 percent of Cordlife’s total issued shares, at a price of SGD 0.25 per share, with the total transaction value estimated at approximately Baht 165 million.

However, the offer did not meet its conditions. As of 25 June 2025, the partial tender offer resulted in only 694,591 shares being tendered, which is 0.27 percent of the total—failing to satisfy the pre-set conditions.

MT’s financial advisor, PrimePartners Corporate Finance Pte. Ltd. (Singapore), advised that if MT wished to proceed, the purchase price would need to be increased to SGD 0.35 per share, reflecting Cordlife’s market price of SGD 0.33 per share on that date. Alternatively, the advisor stated that MT could terminate the offer at the original SGD 0.25 per share.

After considering these comments and Cordlife Group Limited’s financial information—particularly the delayed submission of its Q1/2025 financial statements—Medeze Treasury Pte. Ltd. maintained that the original offer price of SGD 0.25 per share remained appropriate.

Consequently, MT decided to terminate the partial offer at the initial price. Despite the conclusion of this offer, Cordlife Group Limited and Medeze Group Public Company Limited may continue to discuss potential business opportunities and future collaboration in providing joint services.
