Keppel REIT unit secures fresh credit lines worth $160m

A cross-default could put $2.46b of group facilities at risk.

A Keppel REIT unit has obtained two revolving credit facilities totalling $100m and $59.5m (A$65m).

The wholly owned subsidiary, Keppel REIT Fin. Company Pte. Ltd. secured the facilities on 4 June, according to a bourse filing.

The $100m facility may become repayable within five business days if Keppel REIT Management Limited ceases to be the REIT’s manager or ceases to be wholly owned by Keppel Ltd.

The repayment requirement would apply only if no wholly owned Keppel Ltd. unit is appointed as replacement manager and the lender and borrower fail to agree on revised facility terms.

Meanwhile, the second credit line may become repayable within 10 business days if the manager changes and no wholly owned Keppel Ltd. unit is appointed as replacement manager.

The REIT’s manager said about $2.46b of group facilities could be affected if the conditions trigger a cross-default on Keppel REIT’s other borrowings.

This excludes interest, fees, and the new loan facilities.

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.
