Ms Ng Kiat, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said: "This is an attractive strategic opportunity for MLT to acquire a portfolio of high specifications warehouses that will significantly scale up our competitive positioning. The acquisitions will increase our gross floor area in South Korea by 40%, enabling us to better cater to the current and future needs of our customers and capture growth opportunities in the logistics market."

About the Properties

Spanning almost 150,000 square metres ("sq m") in total gross floor area on approximately 148,800 sq m of freehold land, the Properties are modern warehouses with a weighted average age (by net lettable area) of 4.2 years. The Properties have high quality building specifications catering to the modern requirements of third-party logistics firms ("3PLs") and e-commerce tenants, including strong floor loading of 12 to 20 KiloNewton per square metre, high floor-to-ceiling height of 9 to 12 metres and large contiguous floor plates of up to 21,000 sq m. The Properties also provide direct ramp access, offering greater efficiency in the movement of cargo.

Rationale and Benefits of the Acquisitions

The Acquisitions are in line with the Manager's strategy to rejuvenate MLT's portfolio through the

addition of modern logistics facilities from acquisitions and redevelopment. With their modern specifications and favourable locations with excellent connectivity, the Properties are well positioned to attract users from high-value industries and the e-commerce sector. The growing and sizeable e-commerce market in South Korea is expected to underpin demand for modern logistics space in prime locations.

The Properties are strategically located in the Yongin-Icheon area, a prime logistics cluster in the south-east region of the Seoul Metropolitan Area ("SMA"), where over half of SMA's warehouse supply 2

is located. Yongin-Icheon is a highly sought-after location by logistics and e-commerce companies due to its proximity to Seoul and good accessibility to various parts of the country, which makes it ideal for domestic distribution. The location enjoys superior access to Gyeongbu and Jungbu Expressways, two major expressways running north-south; and to Yeongdong Expressway, the major expressway connecting the east and west coasts.

Dongsan, AbleLogis and Gwan-ri, situated in close proximity to Yangji Interchange on the Yeongdong Expressway, are well located to serve the population in Seoul, as well as the densely populated areas south of Seoul. The other two properties, CoreLogis and Bukuk, with direct accessibility to the Jungbu Expressway, are well suited for distribution to the eastern part of Seoul.

The Properties are 100% leased to four established local 3PLs with a weighted average lease expiry (by net lettable area) of approximately 1.7 years3. Approximately 45% of the Properties' revenue base4 is accounted for by tenants engaged in e-fulfilment activities, such as Dongsan Logistics and TE Logis which are supporting Coupang and e-Bay respectively, the leading e-commerce players in South Korea. The other tenants, Han Express and DPL are also supporting end-users from the consumer sectors, including a multinational footwear company and a global consumer electronics retailer. The Acquisitions will raise MLT's e-commerce revenue exposure in South Korea from 15% to 25%.

The Acquisitions are expected to generate an initial net property income yield of approximately 4.5% based on the purchase price of KRW 280.0 billion. Including acquisition-related expenses, the total acquisition cost is estimated to be approximately KRW 298.2 billion. The Manager expects the Acquisitions to be accretive to MLT's distribution per unit.

Funding for the Acquisitions

The Acquisitions will be funded by debt. Post completion of the Acquisitions, MLT's aggregate leverage ratio is estimated to be 38.9%5, while its total portfolio will increase to 161 properties with assets under management of S$10.5 billion.

  • 3 As at 1 February 2021.

  • 4 For the month ending 31 December 2020.

  • 5 Based on MLT's unaudited financial statements for 31 December 2020 and as if the Acquisitions were completed on 31 December 2020. Pro forma aggregate leverage will be 39.6% if including the acquisition of Mapletree Logistics Hub - Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia as announced on 19 October 2020 and which is pending completion.
