The company will use 97.3% of the proceeds to partially pay bridge facilities.

Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT) will launch an equity fundraising to raise gross proceeds of not less than $240.0m.

In a bourse filing, KIT said it will conduct the equity funding by way of a private placement and preferential offering.

KIT will issue new units between 262,055,000 and 269,397,000 under private placement. The price of each placement unit will range between $0.464 and $0.477. The trust expects to raise $125m from the private placement.

For its non-renounceable preferential offering, KIT will issue 249,612,694 new units to be priced between $0.464 and $0.467 each. The trust expects to raise $115.0m from the preferential offering.

“The total number of placement units and preferential offering units will not exceed 758,763,838 New Units, representing approximately 15.2% of units in KIT in issue as at the date of this announcement,” KIT said in a bourse filing on 18 April.

KIT will use 97.3% of the gross proceeds from the equity funding exercise or $233.5m to partially repay its bridge facilities.

The trust will use the remaining 2.7% or $6.5m to pay for the fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the equity fundraising.

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.
