These are subject to an Over-Allotment Option, priced above the mid-point of the range of $0.88 per Unit.

Total gross proceeds of $893 million will be raised which may be up to $983 million if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.

The offering has an annualised distribution yield of 5.7% for Forecast Year 2011/2012 and 6.2% for Projection Year 2012/2013.

Mapletree Commercial Trust has a portfolio comprising VivoCity, Bank of America Merrill Lynch HarbourFront and PSA Building.

The MCT portfolio properties have a total Net Lettable Area (“NLA”) of approximately 1.8 million square feet and are valued at S$2.8 billion 3. The portfolio occupancy as at 30 November 2010 was 98.0%.

MCTM’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms Amy Ng said “MCT is the first commercial S-REIT to be listed on the SGX-ST since 2007. Investors now have an opportunity to own a piece of VivoCity, Singapore’s largest mall, and other quality Mapletree office buildings.”

Mapletree Investments will distribute 100% of MCT's Taxable Income for the Forecast Year 2011/2012 and Projection Year 2012/2013 and at least 90% of its Taxable Income thereafter.

DPU in Forecast Year 2011/2012 and Projection Year 2012/2013 is 4.97 Singapore cents, and 5.42 Singapore cents respectively.
