Yinson Responds To Possible Stonepeak Acquisition
Yinson Holdings Berhad (YHB) has issued a formal clarification following media reports suggesting that the company is the subject of a potential US$2.1 billion buyout by U.S.-based investment firm Stonepeak.
In a statement released on 6 June 2025, Yinson denied being in discussions with any third parties regarding a buyout exercise. 'The Company wishes to clarify that it is not in discussion with any third parties in respect of any buyout exercise,' the statement read.
However, the company acknowledged that its Group Executive Chairman, Lim Han Weng, is engaged in preliminary discussions with several parties concerning potential corporate proposals involving his shareholding in YHB. These talks, Yinson emphasised, are still in the exploratory phase and may not lead to any definitive corporate action.
'There is currently no conclusive indication that the discussions would give rise to a corporate proposal involving YHB,' the company noted.
Yinson assured that it will comply with Bursa Malaysia's Main Market Listing Requirements and make the necessary announcements should any corporate exercise materialise.
In the meantime, the company has advised shareholders to exercise caution and seek appropriate professional advice when dealing in YHB shares.
The clarification comes in response to widespread media coverage on Stonepeak's exclusive talks to acquire Yinson in a deal potentially valued at over RM9 billion. Related
