The company noted the offering was oversubscribed by about 1.4 times.

Lendlease Global Commercial REIT (LREIT) reported that it raised S$249m from its preferential offering that was oversubscribed by approximately 1.4 times.

LREIT made an allotment of 34.57 million new units at an issue price of S$0.72 per new unit.

On top of this, LREIT also raised a total of more than S$1.7b to fund the acquisition of Jem.

According to Lendlease, the support from new and existing institutional investors in its recent fundraising activities solidifies its position as a leading S-REIT with strong, and stable cash flows.

LREIT’s private placement was subscribed 3.3 times subscribed and drew strong demand from long-only institutional investors and real estate specialist funds. These accounted for over 80% of the gross proceeds.

The tranche was also upsized to S$400m from S$325m. Moreover, the issuance of perpetual securities also received strong demand from investors where it was upsized to S$200m from the initial S$150m target.

This comes after the issuance attracted more than 5.3 times of orders. This marked the market’s first perpetual securities issuance by an S-REIT in 2022.

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.
