Colin Ng & Partners has had a difficult year, with peers panning its performance across several practice areas. Regardless, the firm has been quite active, participating in several highlight deals.
Partner Bill Jamieson advised Hong Leong Bank, a Malaysian bank, regarding its issuance of $300 million 3.75% bonds due in 2016. This was the first US dollar senior bond issue by a Malaysian bank.
This year Jamieson has also advised several large banking clients regarding the drafting of unsecured revolving credit facility agreements and other transaction documents.
On the mergers and acquisitions front, partner Tan Min-Li is advising SGX Mainboard-listed company Japan Land in a proposed acquisition by Kokusai Kogyo Group (KKG) which owns companies that operate solar power plants. KKG is proposing a reverse takeover of Japan Land with a concurrent restructuring of debt and a disposal of its other interests in KHC, Japan Asia Group and Japan Asia Holdings. All components of the transaction will be worth $50 million.
The firm has also represented BreadTalk Group through its subsidiary Topwin Investment Holdings regarding the creation of a proposed joint venture between the company and Chai Chen-Shih in Taiwan, which will be named Food Republic.
