AAREIT just recently announced to issue perpetual securities of S$ 125 mils @ 5.65%. The manager mentioned that the proceed would be used to finance the general working capital, capital expenditure and investments, and the partial or full refinancing of existing borrowings. However, from the latest presentation, AAREIT also mentioned has entered into a supplemental agreement with existing lenders to refinance existing loan and no debt due until November 2021. There are around S$ 152.8 mils undrawn debt facilities (after minus the repayment of S$ 31 mils debt due to November). So why do AAREIT require the S$ 125 mils? Whether has something happened to the refinance agreement or some agenda to be announced in the near term? We could only wait and see.
