CCT launches $700m rights issue

It will fund the Asia Square Tower 2 acquisition.

CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT) launches a $700m rights issue.

According to an announcement, 513.5 million new units in CCT will be offered, or 166 right units for every 1,000 existing units.

DBS, JPMorgan, and HSBC were appointed as joint lead managers and underwriters.

About 98.6% of the proceeds, or $690.4m, will finance the acquisition of Asia Square Tower 2, which has been sold to CCT for $2.1b.

Meanwhile, $6.3m will be used to pay for the underwriting commission, and $3.3m will be used to pay expenses during the rights issue.

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.
