Mapletree Logistics Trust raises $250m through private placement

The placement was 13 times oversubscribed.

Mapletree Logistics Trust’s (MLT) overnight private placement of about 154.61 million units at $250m went 13 times oversubscribed, the company announced.

The issue price per unit was fixed at the top end of the price range at $1.617 following a book-building process.

Much of the proceeds will be used to partially fund the proposed acquisition of logistics properties, one in Malaysia at $269.9m (MYR826.0m), two in Vietnam at $53.3 m (US$38.9m) and a 50% interest in four in China at $60.7m (RMB314.3m), the latter two through acquisition of property holding companies.

The remaining $8.3m will be used to pay the professional and other fees and expenses in connection with the acquisitions and private placement

The trading of the units on the SGX-ST is expected to commence on 1 November.

Citigroup Global Markets Singapore., DBS Bank and the Singapore branch of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation served as joint global coordinators and bookrunners for the placement.

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.
