CICT raises $600m in oversubscribed private placement

The placement originally targeted $500m.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) has raised $600m through a private placement that was approximately 4.9 times oversubscribed.

Strong demand came from both new and existing institutional and accredited investors.

The placement originally targeted $500m, but due to strong demand, the manager exercised an upsize option of $100m.

A total of 284,361,000 new units will be issued at $2.11 per unit.

The price reflects a 2.48% discount to the adjusted VWAP of $2.1637 and a 5.53% discount to the VWAP of $2.2334.

Proceeds from the placement will be used primarily to finance CICT’s acquisition of the remaining 55% interest in the office and retail components of CapitaSpring, located at 86 and 88 Market Street, Singapore, amounting to approximately $466.5m or 77.7% of the total proceeds.

About $125.9m, or 21%, will be used for debt repayment, refinancing, and capital expenditure, including asset enhancement initiatives.

The remaining $7.6m, or 1.3%, will cover transaction-related expenses such as professional fees.

If the CapitaSpring acquisition does not proceed, funds may be used for other purposes, including future acquisitions or debt repayment.

Until deployed, proceeds may be held with banks or used to reduce borrowings.

The manager will provide updates on the use of funds via SGXNet and will disclose any material deviations.

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.
