Are there any place to check how many shares have Keppel Corp acquire Keppel Land? I can't seem to find this information in SGX under the dealing disclosure. This is unlike other companies which would state how many percentage of shares it owns after acquisition announcement.

I didn't follow closely the offer, but I reckon the new offer price applies to all, once the 90% crossed. No "punishment" to any group.

Most will be on a " Wait and See " mode.
The way Keppel Corp package the aquisition offer is very funny :
1. Punish the shareholders who surrender early with low base price ( $4.38 )
2. Only when the 90% threshold is triggered then they offer $4.60
Personally I think this scheme is very counter productive in helping them to achieve the 90% compulsary acquisition threshold.

Problem is how do we know if the 90% threshold has been cross or close to been cross when there are no information on SGX? Is this actually normal? I have bought companies whose stock has been acquired before but they would always release information on how many percent they have acquired.

KepCorp owns 54.6% of KepLand as of 22 Jan 15.
The dealing disclosures so far have been on that of "blackrock' - presumably, KepCorp's ownership remains unchanged.........

M&A has a lot on psychology and legality. Popular and SC Global gave a premium for a reason. CMA offer was raised slightly to "answer" market concern even though on a bigger scheme of things it wasn't that substantial. Scheme of arrangements also involve calculated risk of who will vote what
I think news flow is blacked out to entice those aggregate swing votes to give up guessing and tender to trigger 90%. If u have a sizable position u either take 4.60 or be prepared to hold at least another year and wait for stock to recover above 4.38 post offer
