The agreed property value is within the range of two independent valuations of ION Orchard, separately commissioned by the trustee and the manager of CICT. On a pro forma basis, assuming CICT had held and operated ION Orchard from Jan 1 to June 30, the distribution per unit (DPU) accretion is expected to be 0.9%.
CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust's (CICT) manager announced on Sept 3 that it is proposing to acquire 50% of ION Orchard at an agreed property value of $1,848.5 million.
CapitaLand Investment (CLI) will divest its 50% interest in ION Orchard to CICT. ION Orchard is currently held in a joint venture with Sun Hung Kai Properties holding the remaining 50%.
