MPACT divests Mapletree Anson for $775m

The divestment consideration exceeds the original purchase price of $680m.

Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (MPACT) is divesting Mapletree Anson for $775m.

The divestment consideration exceeds the property’s original purchase price of $680m by $95m and its latest valuation of $765m by $10 million.

Including the total estimated transaction costs and the transfer of tenants’ security deposits, MPACT expects to gain net proceeds of $762 million from the divestment.

MPACT intends to allocate the net proceeds towards debt reduction, which is projected to reduce its aggregate leverage from 40.5% as of 31 March to 37.6% on a pro forma basis and increase the adjusted interest coverage ratio from 2.9 times in FY23/24 to 3.3 times on a pro forma basis.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
