Not exactly what I expected as based on previous high of $4.68.
Todays close is $4.39+$0.18 (special div) = only $4.57

i like the terms as a SPH shareholder to be honest:
1) it only sold Paragon to REIT for 99 years (similar as Keppel's sale of OFC to K-REIT)
2) still retains 70% of the REIT - the income distribution should still form a stable source of cashflow for SPH (not forgetting Seletar Mall in the future)

Looks like they got good advice from DBS and Credit Suisse.....

Cap Rate calculated using 2012 NPI is 4.5% and 5.44% for Paragon and Clementi Mall (with income support).

CMT average cap rate for retail is 5.4% to 5.85%

FCT average cap rate is 5.50% to 5.75%

If SPH gains, then someone will have to provide for the gain...

For (2), Proforma FY12 (Sep12) EPS = 21ct (down from 23ct)
But additional Balance Cash (after Special Div & other Payments related to both properties) = $757.4Mil, which I suppose they can easily use to make up for the 2ct difference.

Everyone knows publishing business has been going downhill.
I for one would be more prefer to get rights issue at "certain price" for the SPH REIT for further investment and divest SPH parent share.

Isn't this what SPH had in mind all along for this spin off?
I wouldn't mind tagging along

i invite forumers to take a short walk through history.
in 1988, ohl bought paragon for 280m. if he had kept it till today, its latest valuation would be ten times of oei's purchase price 25yrs ago. this shows that prime ppties appreciate the most. we still haven't added all the rental income yet!
and oei's worth today according to forbes is far less than this single asset he bought n sold 1/4 century ago.

That's one of the reasons why EAST or West say, "Wealth in a family doesn't last through 3 generations." or the Buddhist saying: "Fong Swee Lon Liu Chuan". Anyway nothing last forever except ?
