Frasers Centrepoint divests stake in Compass Point Mall

It’s ditching non-core assets.

Frasers Centrepoint has sold its entire stake in a joint venture company which manages Compass Point, a suburban mall in Sengkang, the company said in a statement to the SGX.

The joint venture company, named Gemshine, is owned by FCL and Lexis 88 Investments.

Under the deal, FCL's subsidiary FCPL will sell its entire 1,899 ordinary shares in the capital of Gemshine for $19.6m.

FCPL will also novate its share of intercompany loans for a consideration of $60.7m.

FCL said that the aggregate consideration will be paid in cash when the deal is completed in February 2016. 

Gemshine has a carrying value of $4.82m in FCL's latest financial statement, and the transaction is not expected to have a material effect on the company's assets for the current financial year.

Compass Point is currently closed for renovations and is expected to re-open in October 2016.

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.
