AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT
AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT’s manager said on Friday it was informed by AIMS Financial Group and AMP Capital that they reached an agreement on terms for proceeding with selling stakes in the REIT and its manager.
In late 2018, AMP Capital Investors had proposed selling its 50 percent stake in the REIT’s management entities and its 10.26 percent stake in the REIT to AIMS Financial Service Group, but the transaction didn’t take place as expected in February due to a disagreement between the parties.
Courts Asia
Nojima Asia Pacific said on Thursday that it owns, controls or has agreed to acquire 93.97 percent of Courts Asia’s shares, entitling it to compulsorily acquire the remaining shares for S$0.205 each from shareholders who haven’t accepted its takeover bid.
The offer remains open for acceptances through the close of business on Friday, it said in a filing to SGX on Thursday.
Aspial
Aspial said on Thursday it proposed repurchasing S$20 million of its 5.05 percent series 003 notes due 2019 issued under its S$700 million multicurrency debt issuance program.
The proposed repurchase will begin on Thursday and end on 22 March, it said in a filing to SGX on Thursday. DBS Bank is acting as the buy-back agent, it said.
