Singapre - Parkway Pantai appoints banks for planned IPO



SINGAPORE - Singapore-based healthcare company Parkway Pantai, which is partly owned by Malaysia sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Holdings, has appointed three banks as joint global coordinators for its planned initial public offering, a person familiar with the transaction said yesterday.

The group has appointed Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, CIMB and Deutsche Bank as joint global coordinators for the offer.

The IPO, scheduled for some time in the first half of next year, could raise up to US$2 billion (S$2.57 billion) although the venue for the listing has not been finalised, reports said last month.

Parkway Pantai operates a network of 16 hospitals across Asia, mostly in Singapore and Malaysia.

Malaysia's Integrated Healthcare Holdings, which is 70 per cent owned by Khazanah, acquired most of its Singapore assets through a full takeover of Parkway Holdings on the Singapore Exchange last year in a transaction that valued the healthcare group at US$3.5 billion.

Integrated Healthcare subsequently combined the Parkway assets with those of its Malaysian assets held under its Pantai Holdings investment. Dow Jones
