Far East Hospitality Trust to buy Oasia Hotel Downtown for $210m

An additional $15m will be issued to the vendor if net property income strikes $9.9m.

Far East Hospitality Trust (FEHT) entered an agreement to buy 65-year leasehold estate in Oasia Hotel Downtown, a 314-room hotel in Tanjong Pagar, for $210m.

According to OCBC Investment Research, the acquisition will be funded by debt. On a pro forma basis, 9M2017 distribution per unit (DPU) would be 4% higher at 3.09 cents instead of 2.97 cents.

An additional $15m worth of stapled securities will be issued to the vendor if the asset’s net property income (NPI) is $9.9m or more for two consecutive fiscal years after the completion.

The acquisition is subject to the approval of stapled security holders at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
