SINGAPORE, 25 JANUARY 2022

Frasers Logistics & Commercial Asset Management Pte. Ltd., the manager of Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (“FLCT”, and the manager of FLCT, the “REIT Manager”), is pleased to announce that FLCT, through its wholly-owned sub-trust Frasers Commercial Trust, has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with an unrelated third-party purchaser, for the sale of the leasehold property at 18, 20 and 22 Cross Street, Singapore³ (“Cross Street Exchange”) for a consideration of S$810.8 million (the “Consideration”).

The Consideration represents a 28.3% premium to Cross Street Exchange’s book value of S$632.0 million as at 30 September 2021. The proposed divestment of this non-core leasehold Central Business District (“CBD”) commercial property is in line with the REIT Manager’s proactive asset management and portfolio rebalancing strategies, providing opportunities to re-weight FLCT’s portfolio into the logistics and industrial asset class. Post-divestment, FLCT’s portfolio weighting2 towards logistics & industrial will increase to 66.9%, from 61.1% previously.

The proposed divestment will also enhance FLCT’s portfolio metrics, with a higher overall portfolio occupancy rate of 97.1% and a longer weighted average lease expiry profile (“WALE”) of 5.0 years, from 96.2% and 4.8 years respectively, prior to the divestment⁴.

Mr. Robert Wallace, Chief Executive Officer of the REIT Manager, said, “The divestment of Cross Street Exchange is transacted at an attractive premium over its book value, re-weighting our portfolio towards logistics and industrial properties. The divestment will enhance our portfolio metrics with a higher overall portfolio occupancy rate and longer WALE and will provide FLCT with significant financial strength and flexibility.”

The estimated net proceeds from the divestment is approximately S$802.7 million, after taking into account divestment fees of S$4.1 million⁵ to be paid to the REIT Manager in cash as well as other divestment-related expenses. The net divestment proceeds may be used to fund potential acquisition opportunities, finance capital expenditure, repay existing debt, make distributions to FLCT’s unitholders and/or other general corporate requirements.

Assuming that 49.2% of the net proceeds are used to repay outstanding debt, FLCT’s aggregate leverage is expected to be lowered by 4.4 percentage points from 33.7% %⁶ to 29.3 %⁷ on a pro forma basis with debt headroom increased to approximately S$3,017.2 million⁸ post-divestment.

Completion of the proposed divestment is expected to take place on 31 March 2022.
