<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/esr-reit" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:10934:1" rel="noopener">ESR-REIT (EREIT SP)</a> announced the proposed merger with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/ara-logos-logistics-trust" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:937:1" rel="noopener">ARA LOGOS (ALLT SP)</a> by way of a trust scheme of arrangement. Under the scheme consideration, each ALLT unitholder will receive S$0.095 in cash and 1.6765 new EREIT units at an issue price of S$0.510. The total consideration implies a gross exchange ratio of 1.863x and a total scheme consideration of S$0.950 per ALLT unit, which is a 1.6% premium to the ALLT last close price of S$0.935 per unit (on 14 October). The merger was widely anticipated to avoid conflicts of interest arising from the proposed acquisition of ARA Asset Management by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/esr-cayman-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27983:1" rel="noopener">ESR Cayman (1821 HK)</a> for a total consideration of US$5.2 billion, which was announced on 5 August 2021.

Notably, at the last close EREIT price of S$0.465, implies a scheme consideration of S$0.875 per ALLT unit, which is a -6.5% discount to the ALLT last close price of S$0.935 per unit (on 14 October). <div class="content-highlight">As the cash consideration represents just 10% of the total scheme consideration, ALLT unitholders have greater exposure to any post-merger share price gains driven by the enlarged REIT’s higher free float, lower cost of capital, cost savings and higher growth potential.
