Bird & Bird ATMD’s Restructuring & Insolvency (R&I) team has advised MyRepublic on the successful divestment of its remaining 49.9% stake in MyRepublic Broadband to StarHub and together with other assets for a total consideration of S$105.2 million.
Finalised on 11 August 2025, the transaction marks a pivotal moment in Singapore’s evolving telecommunications landscape. With full ownership of MyRepublic Broadband, StarHub strengthens its market position and gains strategic control over brand equity and operational infrastructure.
Bird & Bird’s team was led by Partner Darius Tay, with support from Counsel Shu Kit and Associate Alyssa Phua. The team provided comprehensive legal guidance throughout the transaction, drawing on deep expertise in restructuring and complex corporate transactions.
“This deal reflects the strength and agility of our newly established R&I team in Singapore,” said Darius Tay. “We are proud to have supported MyRepublic in navigating this strategic sale, which underscores the evolving dynamics of Singapore’s broadband sector.”
The transaction follows Bird & Bird’s recent integration of the BlackOak team, forming a dedicated R&I Group in Singapore. The team continues to advise on high-profile matters across the region, combining technical excellence with commercial insight.
