Mapletree (MCT & MNACT) Response to SIAS

By Travis Lundy

  • SIAS posed questions to both Mapletree Commercial Trust (MCT SP) and Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust (MAGIC SP) (a.k.a. “MNACT”) about how the ratio was decided and deal appropriateness.
  • SIAS also asked about whether the deal was absolutely necessary and whether MCT would change its mandate. 
  • MCT and MNACT responded with lengthy explanations, some of which didn’t answer the questions. That’s what we get til the end-March Circular. And that’s OK. The trade is the same.
