SINGAPORE (Jan 19): The trustee-manager of Dasin Retail Trust says the public and placement tranches of its Initial Public Offering was “over-subscribed” based on the indication of interest received.
Dasin is selling a total of 151.8 million units at 80 cents each to raise $121 million.
This consisted of an international placement tranche of 149.8 million units for institutional and other investors in Singapore and a public tranche of 2 million shares.
The trustee-manager said 734 valid applications for 15.3 million units were received at the close of the public offer at 12 noon on Wednesday.
“Based on the 2 million units available to the public for subscription, the public offer was approximately 7.6 times subscribed,” says the manager in a filing.
Joint bookrunners DBS Bank has over-allotted an additional 9.3 million units, all of which were allocated to applicants under the placement tranche.
Dasin will begin trading at 2pm tomorrow.
The trust’s initial portfolio comprises three malls in Zhongshan City. These are Xiaolan Metro Mall, Ocean Metro Mall and the Dasin E-Colour mall. Valued at 4.6 billion yuan ($952.5 million) as of June 30, the three malls have a total gross floor area of about 314,884.9 sqm.
The market capitalisation of the trust is expected to be $440 million.
