FCT eyes more debt financing to fund Northpoint City acquisition

The acquisition may be financed either with or without the issuance of perpetual securities.

Frasers Centrepoint Trust will draw down additional debt financing to pay for its recent acquisition of Northpoint City, according to a bourse filing.

Proceeds from the company’s recent equity fundraising have been used to repay its existing debt.

The acquisition of Northpoint City’s south wing may be financed either with or without the issuance of perpetual securities.

An illustrative coupon of 4.2% per annum was assumed for the potential issuance of perpetual securities, whilst an all-in interest rate of 3.3% was assumed for new debt financing.

“The final decision regarding the funding structure will be made by the manager at the appropriate time, taking into account the prevailing market conditions,” said FCT’s manager.

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.
