CLCT to subscribe for 5% of units in CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT Shanghai IPO

The final IPO price was set at $1.03 (RMB5.718) per unit.

CapitaLand China Trust (CLCT) will subscribe to 5% of the units in CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT (CLCR) as part of its IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, after receiving approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission on 27 August.

The subscription was confirmed through a placement agreement signed on 28 August.

The final IPO price was set at $1.03 (RMB5.718) per unit, valuing the offering at $412.7m (RMB2.29b), about 7% above earlier estimates.

As part of the transaction, CLCT will sell CapitaMall Yuhuating to CLCR for $146.8m (RMB813.8m). The sale price represents an 8.8% premium to the floor price and a 3.7% premium to the mall’s 2024 valuation, with an exit yield of 6.2%.

CLCT expects gross divestment proceeds of $146.6m (RMB813.5m). After accounting for the subscription and transaction costs, net proceeds are estimated at $119.8m (RMB663.4m).

Proceeds will be partly used for the IPO subscription and partly to reduce debt. CLCT projects a net distribution yield of 4.07% from its CLCR stake.

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.
