SK Holdings, the parent company of South Korean conglomerate SK Group, has sold its shares in ESR Cayman for HK$3.15 billion (US$406 million). Baker McKenzie advised SK on the deal, while Merrill Lynch (Asia-Pacific) and Morgan Stanley acted as the group’s placing agent.
The Baker McKenzie team was led by partner Ivy Wong, with support from associates William Cho and Stephanie Chen in Hong Kong, and in collaboration with principal Kenny Kwan of Baker McKenzie Wong & Leow in Singapore.
