Cambridge - Rights Issue to Raise Approx S$56.7 million for the Acquisition of Three Properties in Singapore

Cambridge - Rights Issue to Raise Approx S$56.7 million for the Acquisition of Three Properties in Singapore:
Key Points
  • Proposed acquisition of three properties for an aggregate purchase consideration of S$116.8 million on a sale-and-leaseback basis to respective  vendors for lease terms of between 5 and 6 years with options to renew.
  • CIT’s unitholders (“Unitholders”) are invited to participate in the Rights Issue to raise gross proceeds of approximately S$56.7 million, plus an opportunity to apply for Excess Rights Units.
  • Rights Issue will be offered on a 1-for-8 basis (fractional entitlements to be    disregarded) at a price of S$0.429 per Rights Unit (the “Issue Price”) which is at a 15.0% discount to the closing price of S$0.505 per Unit on the SGX-ST on 10 March 2011 and a 13.7% discount to TERP.
  • The Manager of CIT has undertaken to support the Rights Issue by Subscribing for the Rights Units represented by its Rights Entitlements.
  • Expected benefits of the Acquisitions (as defined herein) and the Rights Issue (collectively, the “Transactions”) to Unitholders:
    • Enhancing and improving the quality of CIT’s portfolio (the “Portfolio”) and increasing the size of the Portfolio thus generating economies of scale
    • Pro forma DPU accretion and pro forma distribution yield of 10.1% for existing Unitholders
    • Improving Portfolio and tenant trade sector diversification 
    • Positive impact on the weighted average lease expiry and lease expiry profile
    • Potential increase in liquidity through the Rights Issue
    • Providing Unitholders with the pro-rata opportunity to participate in the growth of CIT at an Issue Price which is at a discount to the closing price per Unit
  • The Rights Issue is expected to close on 6 April 2011 at 5.00 pm (for manual
    applications) and at 9.30 pm (for Electronic Applications).
