In a 24- page circular on the rationale for DRP, CDLHT’s manager said: “the cash which would otherwise have been payable by way of distributions may be retained for greater financial flexibility where the cash may be used to repay existing borrowings, which will further strengthen CDLHT’s balance sheet, or to fund the continuing growth and expansion of CDLHT.”
