FIPL is, in turn, wholly-owned by Forchn Holdings, the sponsor of EC World REIT.
The MOU is said to be for the purposes of facilitating negotiations between the parties only.
Under the MOU, the divestment will be completed upon the parties agreeing to the terms of any definitive agreements. The divestment will also be completed should the valuations delivered by independent valuers commissioned by the trustee of the REIT meet the necessary regulatory requirements under the Code on Collective Investment Schemes and the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST.
Unitholders of the REIT will also have to vote in approval of the potential divestment at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to be convened.
