Frasers Hospitality Trust’s Scheme Votes Unexpectedly Falls Short

By Arun George

  • Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT SP)’s scheme just fell shy of clearing the value test as 74.88% of the total votes cast approved the scheme resolution vs the 75% requirement.
  • The shares were trading tight to terms as Frasers Property Ltd (FPL SP)’s offer of S$0.714 comprising of S$0.70 cash per share + permitted distributions (estimated 1.356 cents) was attractive.  
  • We estimate that the surprising deal break will likely lead to a 15-20% share price fall. The last close price is around 24% higher than the undisturbed price (S$0.57).

PropertyGuru SPAC Lock-Up – Two PE’s with a US$450m Stake Are Stuck with a Liquidity Conundrum

By Sumeet Singh

  • PropertyGuru (PG) tried to raise around US$300m when it undertook a merger with Bridgetown 2 SPAC in Mar 2022.
  • The transaction valued PropertyGuru at an EV of US$1.35bn and equity value of US$1.78bn. It is now trading at less than half that valuation and with very limited liquidity.
  • In this note, we will talk about the lock-up dynamics and updates since our last note.
