Mapletree Logistics Trust raises $353.5m from private placements

It also bagged $286.5m from a preferential offering.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) is on a roll after gaining over $640m from recently finished equity fund raising (EFR) exercises.

According to OCBC Investment Research, it finished a private placement that was 3.3x covered.

A final issue price of $1.175 came in at the top end of the range between $1.143 and $1.175, which could reflect the firm interest in MLT's prospects. Gross proceeds amounted to $353.5m.

MLT also announced a non-renounceable preferential offering (PO) on the basis of one unit for every 10 existing ones.

The issue price of $1.145 is also at the top end of the indicative range between $1.113 and $1.145.

This raised gross proceeds to $286.5m.

The EFR was conducted as part of the fundraising for its acquisition of Mapletree Logistics Hub Tsing Yi in Hong Kong from its sponsor Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd. for $834.8m.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
