[SINGAPORE] Technology provider Trek 2000 International announced on Thursday (Jul 17) that it will be disposing its 4.3 per cent stake in Terrenus Energy back to the renewable energy solutions provider, with the net proceeds to be around S$8.2 million.
The group intends to use the proceeds towards the general working capital requirements, indicated its Thursday bourse filing.
The board holds the view that the proposed disposal is in the best interests of the group and its shareholders, as it will enable Trek 2000 International to realise the value of the sale shares, which are currently held as investment.
The book value of the sale shares is US$400,000, based on the audited consolidated full-year financial statements ended Dec 31, 2024, compared with the group’s net asset value of around US$29.6 million.
In addition, there is an excess of approximately US$5 million of the sale consideration over the book value, based on the initial cost of investment of the sale shares of US$1.5 million.
Trek 2000 International said that the sale shares are currently held as investment and did not generate any income or revenue for FY2024.
