SINGAPORE (Feb 3): Global Logistic Properties says it has received various non-binding proposals from a number of parties in connection with the strategic review.
However, GLP has stressed that no definitive transaction has been entered into by the company with any party and there is no assurance that any transaction will materialise from such proposals or the strategic review.

A special committee, consisting of four independent directors and chaired by Dr Seek Ngee Huat, Chairman of the Board, which was constituted to oversee the strategic review will be evaluating such proposals with the assistance of its financial adviser, JP Morgan (S.E.A.), and its legal adviser, Allen & Gledhill LLP.
GLP says it has also undertaken steps to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
As CEO and executive director Ming Z. Mei has an interest in one of the parties which has submitted a non-binding proposal to the company, at the start of the strategic review, Mei had recused himself from all board discussions and decisions relating to the review.
In addition, Fang Fenglei, a non-executive and non-independent director of the company, has an interest in one of the parties which has submitted a non-binding proposal to the company. Fang has also recused himself from all board discussions and decisions from the start of the review.
GLP says it will make an appropriate announcement in the event of any material developments and reminds shareholders to exercise caution when dealing in its shares.
Shares of GLP closed 3 cents higher at $2.62 on Friday.
