Temasek announces sale of shares in Fraser & Neave to Kirin

Sees Kirin as long term value adding shareholder for Fraser & Neave

Singapore

Temasek Holdings ("Temasek") has signed a Share Purchase Agreement through its wholly-owned subsidiary Seletar Investments Pte Ltd, with Kirin Holdings Company, Limited ("Kirin"), a leading F&B company in Asia, for the sale of its entire stake in Fraser & Neave, Limited ("F&N"), representing approximately 14.7% of total shares outstanding.

David Heng, Managing Director, Investments, Temasek said, "We had invested in F&N in 2006 to support its ambitions in realising its F&B strengths and potential. When Kirin approached us with an acceptable offer over a week ago, we decided, on balance, that it was a good opportunity for F&N to work with an established F&B company with complementary strengths."
The transaction is expected to be completed by 29 July 2010.
