Cuscaden Peak has made a cash offer of 93.72 cents for each SPH REIT on April 28.
The offer price has been adjusted for the distributions of 1.24 and 1.44 cents per unit in the 1QFY2022 and 2QFY2022 respectively, from the minimum chain offer price of 96.4 cents.
The cash offer is 3.88% lower than SPH REIT’s last-closed unit price of 97.5 cents on the same day.
It is also 2.8% lower than the volume weighted average price (VWAP) over the last month.
The offer is conditional upon Cuscaden holding over 50% of the units in the REIT. The offer will not be declared unconditional till its close.
While Cuscaden doesn’t presently intend to delist the REIT, it says it will not undertake or support any action to lift the trading suspension by the SGX-ST should the free float requirement not be satisfied at the close of the chain offer, where trading of the REIT’s units will be suspended under the listing rules.

Units in SPH REIT closed flat at 97.5 cents on April 28.
