Sasseur REIT extends sponsor loan maturity

The agreement extends the maturity of the sponsor loan from March 2025 to March 2030.

Sasseur Asset Management Pte. Ltd., manager of Sasseur Real Estate Investment Trust (Sasseur REIT), announced that it has entered into a supplementary agreement with the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sasseur Cayman Holding Limited.

The agreement, finalised on 5 December, extends the maturity of the sponsor loan from March 2025 to March 2030. The loan’s interest rate will also change to a floating rate based on China’s 5-year loan prime rate (currently 3.6% per annum).

Other terms of the loan remain unchanged.

The group said the extension reflects the sponsor's continued financial support for Sasseur REIT and is expected to result in cost savings for the trust.

The agreement qualifies as an “interested person transaction." However, since it falls below the 3% and 5% thresholds of the latest audited net tangible assets, no unitholder approval is required, it added.

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.
