Investors subscribe to only 62.2% of Lendlease REIT’s preferential offer

DBS, OCBC, and UOB subscribe to remaining units to hit the $196.6m target.

Only about 62.2% of the new units offered by Lendlease Global Commercial REIT were taken up by investors in its preferential offering, according to a filing on 23 March.

The REIT received valid acceptances for 186.9 million units and applications for 32.2 million excess units, bringing the total to 219.1 million units, or 62.19% of the 352.4 million units on offer.

Joint underwriters DBS Bank, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, and United Overseas Bank subscribed the remaining units under the underwriting agreement, allowing the REIT to raise its targeted gross proceeds of about $196.6m.

The preferential offering was conducted on a non-renounceable basis at an issue price of $0.558 per unit, with eligible unitholders entitled to 119 new units for every 1,000 existing units held as of 5 March.

Separately, Lendlease Corporation Limited, the REIT’s sponsor, through its relevant entities, accepted in full its provisional allotment of 73.7 million units, representing 20.93% of the offering.

Following completion, it will have an aggregate deemed interest in 693.42 million units, representing approximately 20.93% of the total number of 3.31 billion units.

The new units are expected to begin trading on the SGX-ST Main Board on 26 March and will rank pari passu with existing units, including entitlement to distributions for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2026.

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.
