Sirivadhanabhakdi already owns a 35% stake in F&N but is facing a battle with Singapore-based property group Overseas Union Enterprise (OUE) for the company.
Last month, OUE submitted a S$13.1bn cash offer for full control of F&N, topping TCC’s bid. The deadline for the OUE bid is 3 January.
If the OUE offer is successful, Japan’s Kirin Holdings has agreed to acquire F&N’s food and beverage business for S$2.7bn.
