The proposed merger between M1 and Simba Telecom is on hold due to allegations that Simba may have used unauthorized radio frequency bands, potentially violating Singapore’s Telecommunications Act 1999. The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) stated that such breaches could lead to enforcement actions, including financial penalties. Keppel, which planned to sell M1 to Simba, will allow the agreement to lapse and focus on restructuring M1 for cost reduction.

M1-Simba deal: What are frequency spectrums and when does their use become unauthorised?

Keppel shares dropped by 4.7% to S$10.10 following another delay in the M1-Simba deal, erasing over S$900 million in market capitalization. The Infocomm Media Development Authority has paused its assessment of the deal due to concerns over Simba's use of unauthorized radio frequency bands. This follows a previous decline in January related to an extension of the deal's timeline.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority halted the merger due to potential regulatory issues with Simba. Keppel's shares fell significantly, and analysts downgraded their outlook on the company. StarHub's interest in M1 could reignite, as it aims to strengthen its market position.
