F&N board to quit over takeover

A Thai billionaire is flexing his muscles in the Singapore market.

The board of directors at Fraser and Neave (F&N), have said they will step down when the takeover offer by billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi closes next week.

This will give him a greater say in managing the group, which has interests ranging from food and drinks to real estate.
