Keppel DC REIT acquires Dutch tenant for $1.55

Its indirect subsidiary had previously leased Almere Data Centre to the latter.

Keppel DC REIT has entered into a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) to acquire the entire issued share capital of Netherlands-based building materials firm Borchveste Almere for a purchase price of $1.55 (€1.00), an SGX filing revealed.

KDCR Almere, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Keppel DC REIT and the owner of the data centre located at Almere, had previously entered into a ground lease to lease Almere Data Centre to the Borchveste Almere.

The latter’s sole business relates to a sub-lease entered into with a client for Almere Data Centre.

In conjunction with the acquisition, a subsidiary of Keppel DC REIT’s sponsor, Keppel Data Centres Holding (KDCH), has assumed responsibility for the expenses in relation to the Borchveste Almere.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
