• Jurisdictional Restrictions: The new units are not being offered or sold in the United States, EEA, UK (except to lawful UK investors), Canada, Japan, or Australia. The securities are not registered in these jurisdictions. Any public offering in the US would require a prospectus, but there will be no such offering.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements.

• Product Classification: The new units are prescribed capital markets products and excluded investment products under Singapore regulations.

Potential Impact on Share Price

• The successful placement and trading of a significant number of new units (over 124 million) could impact CLINT’s share price due to dilution effects and changes in distributable income calculations.
• The exclusion from the Advanced Distribution for new unit holders may affect short-term yield expectations and could influence investor sentiment.
• Investors should watch for trading activity and price movements as the new units start trading and as market digests the dilution and new capital raised.

Conclusion

CapitaLand India Trust’s completion of a large private placement is a significant corporate action. Investors must be aware of the dilution, distribution exclusions for new units, and associated risks. This event is likely to be price sensitive, as it affects both the capital structure and short-term income expectations for unitholders.
