CapitaLand Ascendas RET closes private placement at $2.727 per unit

The issue price represented 5.1% of the $2.8727 VWAP per unit.

CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR), with the Joint Bookrunners and Underwriters, closed its private placement of 183,352,000 new units with a fixed issue price of $2.727 per unit.

The private placement was covered 3.1 times after it drew strong demand from institutional, accredited, and other investors, causing its gross proceeds to increase to $500m from $450m.

CLAR said the issue price represented 5.1% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of $2.8727 per unit for all trades done on the SGX-ST on 15 May, up to the day the parties signed the placement agreement.

CLAR planned to use the $500m gross proceeds to fund its proposed acquisitions and redevelopment projects, as well as for debt repayment and several estimated fees and expenses.

The trading of the new units would commence on 25 May at 9AM.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
