MAS orders removal of EH-REIT manager

The order follows a notice of intention issued on 26 October.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has instructed DBS Trustee to remove Eagle Hospitality REIT Management as the manager of Eagle Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (EH-REIT), and to name a new manager “as soon as possible.”

The order follows MAS’ notice of intention issued on 26 October, as well as providing both parties with an opportunity to state why EH-REIT should not be removed.

EH-REIT Mgt’s shareholder Mandarin West Holdings has provided MAS with written submissions which, according to MAS, raised “no new material facts.”

“MAS continues to have serious concerns with EH-REIT Mgt’s ability and commitment to comply with MAS’ rules and regulations, given the numerous breaches of the Securities and Futures Act, including recurrent and ongoing breaches of capital and financial requirements,” MAS said in a statement.

In a statement, the trustee, on the recommendation of Moelis, has identified SCCPRE Hospitality REIT Management as the proposed new REIT manager for EH-REIT.

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.
