A yield of 7 per cent is being considered at a time when most Reits in Singapore are offering yields of between 5.5 and 7 per cent. Even Lotte Shopping Co, which runs 108 large stores and 31 department stores in South Korea, has planned to offer a yield of 6 to 7 per cent for its Reit listing in Singapore. On Monday, Keppel T&T said it would hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on Nov 25 to seek its shareholders' approval to list Keppel DC Reit on the main board of the Singapore Exchange. The IPO is targeted for an early- to mid-December listing. In a circular to shareholders, Keppel T&T said it expected to raise some S$505.4 million in gross proceeds from the divestment of the four assets. About S$90.7 million will be used to pursue its growth strategies by funding investments in its logistics, data centre and other businesses, with the remaining amount to be used for general corporate and working-capital requirements. The initial portfolio of Keppel DC Reit is expected to comprise eight data centre properties in the Asia-Pacific and Europe: Keppel Digihub (S25) and Keppel Datahub 1 (T25) in Singapore; Gore Hill Data Centre in Sydney, Australia and iseek Data Centre in Brisbane, Australia; Basis Bay Data Centre in Selangor, Malaysia; GV7 Data Centre in London, the United Kingdom; Almere Data Centre in Amsterdam, the Netherlands; and Citadel 100 Data Centre in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. More assets are expected to be added after the listing.

Net profit rose 53% in tandem to S$30.7mil. The better topline was driven by higher recurrent management fees from Reits which had performed better and achieved higher valuations for their property portfolios, as well as fee contribution from acquisitions made by its Reits and private funds. ARA manages eight Reits and seven private funds. The group's assets under management (AUM) also rose to S$26.1bil as at end-September. Super Group (S$1.065) Q3 profit dives 47% Super Group's net profit for the three months ended Sept 30 plunged 47% to S$9.98mil. The fall in profit attributable to shareholders - from the previous corresponding period's S$18.71mil - came as revenue dipped 3% to S$129.5mil and earnings margin fell. EPS stood at 0.89 Singapore cent and NAV per share was at 41.37 Singapore cents. Giken Sakata (S$0.290) Plans to put itself under new holding company Giken Sakata (S) is proposing a one-for-one share swap to place itself under a new listed holding company, to be called GSS Energy, to make it easier to pursue investment opportunities should they arise. The move comes after Giken Sakata recently acquired oil and gas services business Cepu Sakti Energy. Under the new structure, GSS Energy will be able to seek investors into or to sell the existing Giken Sakata business without having to undergo a business and/or asset sale, the company said. GSS Energy will also be able to raise capital on a standalone basis. The proposed scheme will require shareholders' approval. Sim Lian Group (S$0.845) Property development boosts Q1 net earnings Strong revenue booking from property development projects helped Sim Lian Group to more than double net earnings to S$71.66mil for the 1Q ended Sept 30, 2014. Group revenue jumped to S$379.02mill. EPS climbed to 7.1 Singapore cents and NAV per share stood at S$1.05 at Sept 30, 2014.
