Keppel Infrastructure Trust raises $525m via private placement, preferential offering

It’s the largest equity deal so far this year.

Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT) has raised $525 million through a private placement and preferential offering to be conducted to finance the acquisition of a 51% stake in Keppel Merlimau Cogen Pte Ltd.

The private placement issue price has been fixed at $0.52 per share, a 6.15% discount to the adjusted volume-weighted average price, which excludes the special distribution of 1.05 cents per unit and the pre-equity fund raising stub distribution of 0.11 cents per unit, for which the private placement units are not eligible.

KIT will also conduct a non-renounceable preferential offering under which existing unitholders will be entitled to subscribe to 1 new unit for every 13 units owned as at 28 May 2015 at 5.00 pm at a preferential offering price of $0.515 per unit, which is at a discount to the private placement price.

This equity deal is the largest in the year to date in Singapore and represents approximately 36% of KIT's outstanding units before the equity fund raising exercise.

The private placement attracted strong institutional interest from new and existing investors, and was more than 2 times subscribed. Long only institutional and corporate investors were allocated approximately 75% of the private placement.

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.
