Frasers Logistics raises $258.1m through private placement

It will be used to fund the acquisition of 12 logistic facilities in Australia and Germany.

Real-estate investment trust Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust (FLT) has raised $258.1m through a private placement of 220 million units priced at $1.173 per unit, an announcement revealed.

The proceeds will be used to fund FLT’s proposed acquisition of 12 logistics properties in Germany and Australia. The proposed acquisitions will reportedly increase their portfolio value to approximately $3.3b at completion.

Robrert Wallace, CEO, said “The proceeds raised will fund our proposed acquisition of interests in 12 prime logistics properties in Germany and Australia. The proposed acquisition will further deepen FLT’s presence in the two attractive logistics markets of Germany and Australia.”

FLT noted that the private placement was approximately 3.2 times subscribed with strong demand from new and existing investors. Accordingly, the issue price was at the top end of the price range and was at a 1.2% discount to the Adjusted VWAP.

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.
