Singapore's CapitaLand Integrated to acquire remaining stake in CapitaSpring
Singapore
's
CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust
said on Tuesday that it would buy the remaining 55% stake in
CapitaSpring
from
CapitaLand Development
and
Mitsubishi Estate
on an agreed property value of S$1.05 billion ($816.55 million).
CapitaLand Integrated estimates the total acquisition outlay for the office and retail components of the 51-storey integrated development in Singapore's prime central business district at about S$482.3 million.
CapitaSpring has maintained nearly 100% committed occupancy as of June 30, 2025, underpinned by high-quality tenants from diverse trade sectors, CapitaLand Integrated CEO Tan Choon Siang said.
"Our Singapore exposure will increase from approximately 94% to 95% of our portfolio property value, advancing our strategic goal to deepen our presence in this core market."
CapitaLand Development will sell its 45% stake, while Mitsubishi Estate plans to divest its 10% interest. Both CapitaLand Integrated and CapitaLand Development are part of the broader CapitaLand Group, which Temasek Holdings backs.
The acquisition will be funded through a private placement expected to raise around S$500 million, the company said in a statement.
The offering will be priced between S$2.105 and S$2.142 per new unit.
The acquisitions are expected to deliver a distribution per unit (DPU) accretion of 1.1% on pro forma basis, assuming CapitaLand Integrated had held and operated 100% of CapitaSpring from January to June of this year.
Global demand for office space has grown steadily in the past few years after the pandemic, reinforced by Singapore-listed City Developments' sale of office complexes for S$834.2 million in June.

Delhi High Court orders WazirX to disclose Binance acquisition details
The Delhi High Court has directed Zettai, the Singapore-based entity of crypto exchange WazirX, to provide details of its acquisition by global crypto platform Binance. The court has also ordered the company to disclose details of the ongoing restructuring proceedings before the Singapore High Court, as per its order dated August 5. The restructuring is part of the alleged security breach on WazirX that resulted in losses exceeding $230 million, almost a year ago. '...respondent Zettai Pte Ltd (formerly Zanmai Pte Ltd) is directed to produce a copy of its agreement with 'Binance',' the court directed. The next date for the court's hearing on the matter is scheduled for August 26. The court has asked concerned officials of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to remain present in the court or join the proceedings virtually on the next date of hearing. This order comes at a time when the revoting on an amended scheme of arrangement was completed by WazirX on Thursday. 'The order directs the document through which Binance acquired the WazirX platform—whether it was Zettai or Zanmai—needs to be brought on record. The document has to be furnished to the Hon'ble judge on the next date of hearing,' said Navodaya Singh Rajpurohit, legal partner, Coinque Consulting, and founder, Pravadati Legal; the legal counsel for both the petitioners. Last year, Binance distanced itself from any liabilities originating from an alleged cyber attack on WazirX while clarifying that the company does not own or operate WazirX in the country. It refuted WazirX's claims that the global exchange owns the company, stating that it does not operate the platform. In 2019, the global crypto platform had announced that it had 'acquired' WazirX. However, it later stated that the acquisition was limited to an agreement to purchase some assets and intellectual property of WazirX. 'Binance operated the token-related services while Zanmai India operated the INR-related services. Binance subsequently announced its decision to cease providing services in relation to the platform,' Nischal Shetty, founder and chief executive officer (CEO), WazirX, had declared in one of the affidavits last year. However, Binance had clarified that it does not provide any services on the WazirX platform.

Sunil Mittal to sell 0.8% Bharti Airtel stake to raise up to ₹9,300 crore
The family office of Sunil Mittal is set to sell a 0.8 per cent stake in Indian telecom major Bharti Airtel on Friday to raise up to $1.06 billion, or Rs 9,300 crore, via block deals. The sale proceeds are likely to be channelled towards the purchase of a stake in Haier India, said people aware of the details. According to the term sheet seen by Business Standard, Indian Continent Investment (ICIL), a promoter entity, will sell 50 million shares at Rs 1,862 per share—a 3.15 per cent discount to Thursday's closing price of Rs 1,924. The sale will reduce ICIL's stake in Bharti Airtel to 1.67 per cent from the current 2.47 per cent. Promoters presently hold a 51.25 per cent stake in Bharti Airtel, while Singapore-based Singtel owns 28.3 per cent. This is the second time ICIL is selling a stake in Bharti Airtel in the past year. In February, the promoter entity sold a 0.84 per cent stake—or 51 million shares—for Rs 8,485 crore ($976 million). A fourth of the shares were acquired by group company Bharti Telecom Ltd, which holds a 40.47 per cent stake in Bharti Airtel. The second promoter stake sale comes as Airtel founder Sunil Mittal is in talks to acquire a 49 per cent stake in Haier India, the Indian arm of the Chinese consumer appliances major. Mittal, along with global private equity giant Warburg Pincus, has been in discussions with Haier regarding a valuation. According to media reports last month, the proposed deal value is pegged at Rs 6,000 crore, down from an earlier estimate of $2 billion. Last year, Bharti Enterprises acquired a 24.5 per cent stake in the UK's BT Group from Altice UK for approximately $4 billion, in October 2024. The deal was executed via Bharti's subsidiary, Bharti Global, using Bharti Televentures UK Limited to facilitate the acquisition. Bharti raised $1.8 billion in debt from Barclays to help fund the transaction. A portion of the stake—9.99 per cent—was acquired via open market purchases. The remaining 14.51 per cent was to be acquired following regulatory approval, which was granted in December 2024 by UK authorities.

Apple leads global tech rally as Trump spares key chipmakers from tariffs
Global technology stocks advanced on Thursday in a relief rally after the latest tariff salvo from US President Donald Trump largely exempted industry heavyweights from his threat to impose 100 per cent levy on chips and semiconductors. Trump said the new tariff rate would apply to "all chips and semiconductors coming into the United States," but would not apply to companies that had made a commitment to manufacture in the US or were in the process of doing so. Apple stock rose 2 per cent, clawing back most of its losses since the Liberation Day selloff back in April, after Trump's announcement on Wednesday that the company will invest an additional $100 billion in the US, a move that could help it sidestep potential tariffs on iPhones. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment supplier Applied Materials and chipmakers Texas Instruments, GlobalFoundries and Broadcom - Apple's partners in the investment effort - climbed between 1.3 per cent and 5.5 per cent. Other US-listed chipmakers also rose, with Advanced Micro Devices up 3.1 per cent and Nvidia 1.4 per cent, respectively. "From a high level, the 100 per cent headline number seems intimidating, but in practice we expect a much lower impact," BofA Global Research analysts led by Vivek Arya said in a note. Intel, however, fell 1.4 per cent after Trump called for the immediate resignation of Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan. European chipmakers also joined the rally, with ASML and ASMI up more than 3 per cent each. BE Semiconductor Industries climbed 4.7 per cent. analysts expect the proposed 100 per cent semiconductor tariff would not be stacked on top of the 15 per cent baseline tariff agreed between the European Union and the US last week. According to EU officials, the framework trade deal will have zero-for-zero tariffs on semiconductor-making equipment. Germany's Infineon said it could not speculate on possible semiconductor tariffs, as no details have been disclosed yet. Its shares were up 0.9 per cent. Trump's latest on semiconductor tariffs seemingly rules out Taiwanese chip contract manufacturer TSMC, which makes chips for most US companies, including Nvidia, as it has factories in the US "The market remains keen to buy TSMC on dips. Investors also believe they need to remain positioned in AI - with or without tariffs," UBS analysts said. TSMC shares closed almost 5 per cent higher to hit all-time highs, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix climbed 2.5 per cent and 1.4 per cent, respectively. South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix will also not be subjected to 100 per cent tariffs on chips, the country's top trade envoy said. Samsung has invested in two chip fabrication plants in Austin and Taylor, Texas, while SK Hynix has announced plans to build an advanced chip packaging plant and research and development facility for artificial intelligence products in Indiana. Since stepping into the White House in January, Donald Trump has made several tariff threats, specifically on semiconductors, aimed at reshaping the supply chain of the industry and spurring domestic production. "The (100 per cent tariff) figure fits Trump's approach of 'open high, negotiate down' and the final figure could be similar to reciprocal tariffs to limit inflation in consumer goods, given that many have chips," said Phelix Lee, senior equity analyst at Morningstar. Not everyone has come out of the latest blitz on the right side, with the Philippines and Malaysia looking to find out more details about the tariff rate. Dan Lachica, the president of the trade body for the Philippine semiconductor industry, said 70 per cent of its electronics exports are semiconductors and the new tariff rate would be "devastating". Philippine stocks were down 0.1 per cent after falling as much as 0.9 per cent during the day.
