OUE Commercial REIT (OUE C-REIT)’s indirect subsidiary OUB Centre Limited has obtained an unsecured sustainability-linked loan (SLL) of S$430m from five banks: OCBC, Maybank Singapore, ICBC, The Bank of East Asia, and Qatar National Bank.

The funds will be used for the refinancing of existing borrowings and general corporate purposes, OUE C-REIT said in an SGX filing.

OCBC is the sustainability coordinator for the transaction.

With this, OUB Centre Limited has no further refinancing requirements until 2025.

The proportion of SLLs has also increased to 69.6% of OUE C-REIT's total borrowings as of 31 March, one of the highest percentages amongst S-REITs.

This is OUE C-REIT’s third SLL. It incorporates interest rate reductions linked to predetermined sustainability performance targets, which are in line with the REIT’s long-term targets to reduce energy and water intensities by 25% below 2017’s level by 2030.

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.
