GLP trims stake to just 10% in $10.9b US logistics portfolio

It will be syndicated to three institutional investors.

Global Logistic Properties (GLP) revealed that it is trimming its stake to 10% from 55% in its $10.9b (US$8b) US logistics portfolio.

The stake will be syndicated to three leading global institutional investors, including two
from Asia and one from North America.

GLP entered into an agreement to acquire one of the largest logistics platforms in the United States in December 2014, with the stated intention of injecting the US$8 billion portfolio into its fund management platform.

The agreed and undisclosed sale price of the 45% syndicated interest is "consistent with the price GLP paid plus retained earnings”, GLP said.

The fund syndication is expected to close in the second quarter of FY16 (July –September 2015), upon the receipt of regulatory approval, including approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. 

Upon closing, GLP expects to book a net divestment gain equivalent to the net income earned during the period held for sale.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
