AIMS APAC REIT bags sustainability-linked loan of up to $400m and A$150m

The loan offers margin adjustments based on the REIT's ESG performance.

AIMS APAC REIT bagged an unsecured sustainability-linked loan (SLL) of up to $400m and A$150m.

United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC) are the Joint Lead Arrangers and Sustainability Coordinators of the SLL.

The SLL offers sustainability margin adjustments based on the REIT’s performance in meeting key ESG targets, which include reducing Scope 2 carbon emissions, expanding solar energy capacity, and increasing the proportion of green leases with tenants.

"The achievement of these targets will enable AA REIT to benefit from competitive borrowing costs while driving positive sustainability outcomes across its portfolio and creating long-term value for Unitholders, tenants and business partners," the REIT said.

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.
