CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (A17U) said on Mar, 24 2026 that its transfer books will close at 5:00 p.m. on Apr, 1 2026 to determine unitholders’ eligibility for an advanced distribution and for participation in a planned preferential offering.

The record date is part of an equity fund-raising exercise aimed at securing no less than 900 million Singapore dollars through two tranches: • A private placement of 244.898 million to 249.377 million new units at 2.406–2.450 Singapore dollars each to raise at least 600 million Singapore dollars. • A non-renounceable preferential offering of new units to eligible unitholders at 2.35–2.40 Singapore dollars each to raise about 300 million Singapore dollars.

The private-placement units are expected to be issued on Apr, 2 2026 and will not qualify for the advanced distribution or for the preferential offering.

The advanced distribution, estimated at 3.750 Singapore cents per existing unit (comprising 3.116 cents of taxable income, 0.044 cent of tax-exempt income and 0.590 cent of capital), will be paid on or around Apr, 30 2026 to unitholders on record as of Apr, 1 2026.

Eligible investors must submit the required tax forms to the unit registrar by 5:00 p.m. on Apr, 14 2026 to receive the distribution at the applicable tax rate.

The manager said the timetable may change subject to regulatory approvals and will announce any revisions via SGXNET.
