Axiata Group Bhd is not involved in the share transactions at M1 Ltd that the other substantial shareholders &mdash Keppel Corp Ltd and Singapore Press Holdings Ltd (SPH) &mdash are currently negotiating.
Four companies &mdash M1, SPH, Keppel and its subsidiary Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation Ltd (KT& T) &mdash requested to suspend the trading of their shares on Singapore Exchange (SGX) yesterday pending an announcement on possible share transactions in M1.
Axiata is the single largest shareholder of M1 holding 28.69% of the Singapore-listed telecommunications company, followed by KT& T (19.33%) and SPH (13.45%). Keppel owns its equity interest in M1 via KT& T.
In a statement to The Edge Financial Daily yesterday, Axiata clarified that it is not &ldquo an active participant in the new corporate exercise&rdquo .
Axiata noted that it will consider all appropriate and viable options that will enhance shareholder value depending on the official proposal to be made by Keppel and SPH.
Nonetheless, Axiata has in the past indicated its intention to divest its stake in M1 should the opportunity present. Based on M1&rsquo s last traded price of S$1.63 (RM4.93), Axiata&rsquo s stake is worth S$432.6 million.
As at press time, no detail was revealed to the investing public regarding the share transactions that Keppel and SPH intend to undertake at M1. Speculation is rife that the duo might have found a buyer for their stakes in M1, which could possibly result in a general offer.
In its filing with SGX yesterday, Keppel said the transaction involves its indirect interest in M1, which &ldquo may or may not&rdquo lead to a transaction for shares in M1
    Singapore   Press   Holdings   Limited   (the   &ldquo Company&rdquo )   wishes   to   announce   that   it   has   been   approached   by   Keppel   Corporation   Limited   (&ldquo KCL&rdquo )   to   participate   in   a   possible   transaction   involving   the   Company' s   indirect   interest   in   shares   of   M1   Limited   held   through   its   wholly-­ owned   subsidiary,   SPH   Multimedia   Pte.   Ltd.,   which   may   or   may   not   lead   to   a   transaction   for   the   shares   of   M1   Limited.
Keppel owns 19.3% of M1, via Keppel T& T, while SPH owns 13.5% of M1. A general offer for M1 would be triggered should both Keppel and SPH divest their respective stakes in M1 to a third-party investor.
SPH ' s M1 coming ?

The consideration may be lowered by up to £ 13.7 million if actual income on certain assets is below 95 per cent of estimates, and Unite Group has provided a guarantee of up to £ 2.5 million to cover shortfalls between the estimated income and actual income of the assets as at Nov 30, 2018
Mr Warren Fernandez, editor-in-chief of SPH' s English/Malay/ Tamil Media Group and editor of The Straits Times (ST), noted that ST' s readership across its print and digital platforms has been growing.
CONSTANT, VARIED CONNECTION
Today, we have the opportunity to connect to readers not just once a day in print, but many times throughout the day through our different platforms - print, mobile, desktop, tablets, radio, events.
MR WARREN FERNANDEZ, editor-in-chief of Singapore Press Holdings' English/Malay/Tamil Media Group and editor of The Straits Times.
About 90 per cent of ST' s subscribers today read the news across all platforms, with the remaining 10 per cent opting for the print paper.
" Today, we have the opportunity to connect to readers not just once a day in print, but many times throughout the day through our different platforms - print, mobile, desktop, tablets, radio, events," he said.
Subscriptions have also continued to grow since the introduction of a premium paywall in February, he noted. This showed that readers were prepared to pay for content, if they found it engaging, credible and meaningful, he said.
South China Morning Post' s (SCMP) chief news editor Yonden Lhatoo said it was a " major psychological step" for the paper to expand beyond a newspaper company, to be a media organisation whose products are online and free.
" It took a long time for people to realise that what' s going online is reaching out to many more people," said Mr Lhatoo.
Going online allowed the paper to provide more features, such as live updates of events, he said. For example, when Typhoon Mangkhut hit Hong Kong on Sunday, the SCMP team pushed out blog posts, videos and photos even as the storm raged on.
Professor Ang Peng Hwa of Nanyang Technological University' s Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information said traditional media companies have tried different ways to drive up revenue, including establishing paywalls or crowd-sourcing, but there is no one model that suits all situations.
" You need an entrepreneurial approach to the media... it means being ready to pivot, to change, and to do trial and error," Prof Ang
