Pro forma net property income for FY2019 will increase by 28.3 per cent to about S$77 million, up from S$60 million for its existing portfolio, its trustee-manager said.

Taking into account a"distribution waiver", through which major unitholders have waived a portion of their entitlement to distributions, Dasin Retail Trust's pro forma distribution per unit for FY2019 is expected to increase to 7.20 Singapore cents from 6.82 cents. Without the"distribution waiver", its pro forma DPU for the enlarged portfolio will increase to 4.70 Singapore cents from 3.95 cents.

Wang Qiu, CEO of the trustee-manager, said:"We are delighted and excited to complete the acquisition of the properties, bringing our total retail malls to seven. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Dasin Retail Trust as this is our second acquisition in a short span of three years of listing.", with the cost estimated to be S$333 million, subject to post-completion adjustments.

In a press statement on Wednesday, the trustee-manager said the deal was financed through a combination of debt, equity financing, and internal funding.
