Following the merger, the sponsor, ESR Cayman, is expected to hold about 12.2 per cent of the total issued units in the enlarged Reit.
The enlarged Reit’s larger market capitalisation and free float, as well as higher trading liquidity, will help to facilitate its potential inclusion in key indices, which will in turn provide the enlarged Reit with access to a wider and more diversified investor base and increased analyst coverage, Mr Chui added.
