DBS provides $122.08m sustainable loan to HK listed REIT

Proceeds will be used for general corporate funding purposes.

DBS has provided Hong Kong listed Link REIT a $122.08m (A$212m) five-year sustainability-linked loan, which is said to be the first by an Asian REIT to be linked to the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), an announcement revealed.

To incentivise sustainable practices, DBS has structured the loan to incorporate a reduced pricing structure with interest cost savings.

DBS stated that Link will be eligible for the interest savings if it maintains its listing on leading global sustainability indices and achieves sustainability milestones based on performance in the annual independently assessed GRESB, which is said to be the leading sustainability benchmark for real estate and infrastructure investments across the world.

The proceeds of the loan will be used for general corporate funding purposes including sustainability initiatives.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
