CapitaLand Investment to divest 50% stake in ION Orchard to CICT

It will have recycled $3.6b in capital year-to-date following the divestment.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) will divest its 50% stake in ION Orchard to CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), its sponsored real estate investment trust (REIT).

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) holds the remaining 50% stake in ION Orchard.

In a bourse filing, CLI said it would fully subscribe to its pro-rata entitlement in the preferential offering to help fund CICT's purchase of ION Orchard. CLI’s stake in CICT stood at 24% as of 30 June 2024.

CLI will use proceeds from the divestment to further diversify its portfolio across geographies and asset classes and establish new fund products to boost its fee-related income.

Following the completion of the divestment, CLI will have recouped approximately $3.6b year-to-date, surpassing its annual capital recycling target of $3b.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
