As UEL has lost its free float, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) will suspend the trading of UEL shares at the close of the offer on Dec 30.
Yanlord reiterated on Friday that it will delist UEL.
The group added that it has no intention of undertaking or supporting any action to satisfy the free float requirement, or for the trading suspension to be lifted.
“UEL shareholders who may not want to hold shares in an unlisted company should consider accepting the offer or exercising their rights under Section 215(3) of the Companies Act,” Yanlord added in a filing to SGX.
Yanlord has offered to pay $2.70 for each UEL share, valuing the property firm at $1.72 billion.
In the offer document, Yanlord had said it did not intend to delist the company but that it could re-evaluate its position later.
However, the group last week signalled that it will delist UEL should its free float fall below the listing threshold.
