CapitaLand subsidiary acquires remaining 39.24% stake in Eurimeg

Takeover empowers group to exercise full management control over decisions for serviced residences.

CapitaLand Limited (“CapitaLand”) said that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oriville SAS (“Oriville”) has acquired (the “Acquisition”) the remaining 39.24% stake in Eurimeg SA (“Eurimeg”) from its existing shareholders which are unrelated to CapitaLand (the “External Parties”). Prior to the Acquisition, CapitaLand held a 60.76% stake in Eurimeg.

Eurimeg, a company incorporated in France, holds a 90% stake in three subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) that hold the serviced residences: Citadines London South Kensington, Citadines Bruxelles Toison d’Or and Citadines Barcelona Ramblas respectively (the “Serviced Residences”). The remaining 10% stake in the Subsidiaries is held by Oriville, as stated in a CapitaLand report.

The aggregate cash consideration of €15.0 million (approximately S$25.6 million) for the Acquisition was arrived at on a willing-buyer willing-seller basis, taking into account, amongst other factors:

(a) the adjusted consolidated net asset value of Eurimeg of €39.3 million (approximately S$67.2 million) as at 30 June 2010, which has taken into consideration, the valuation of the Serviced Residences (conducted by HVS International and commissioned by The Ascott Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand) at €80.3 million (approximately S$137.3 million) as at 1 July 2010; and

(b) the assignment to Oriville of the debt of €1.2 million (approximately S$2.1 million) payable by Eurimeg to the External Parties.

Following the Acquisition, Eurimeg and the Subsidiaries have become wholly-owned subsidiaries of CapitaLand.

The Acquisition will provide CapitaLand Group the ability to exercise full management control over decisions for enhancement of the Serviced Residences.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
