MCT closes private placement at $458m

The total gross proceeds of the equity fund raising will be $918.5m.

Mapletree Commercial Trust (MCT) has closed its latest private placement at $458.0m, an announcement revealed. The placement was about seven times covered.

Along with about $460.5m raised from a preferential offering, the total gross proceeds of the equity fund raising is estimated at $918.5m.

Mapletree plans to use most of the gross proceeds from the equity fund raising to partially fund the total consideration of the acquisition of Mapletree Business City (Phase 2).

The issue price per new unit under the private placement was fixed at $2.28, whilst the issue price under the preferential offering was at $2.24 per new unit.

The balance of the total acquisition cost will be funded from the drawdown of the New Loan
Facilities and/or existing loan facilities granted to MCT.

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.
