Ascendas will settle 95 percent of the purchase in cash, and the remaining 5 percentwill be settled by way of issue of the Consideration Units.
Acting for Ascendas is a Paul Hastings team led by Hong Kong-based partner Vivian Lam, while Hong Kong firm Vincent T.K. Cheung, Yap & Co represented the seller.
Rosedale Hotel Kowloon is a new four-star hotel currently under construction in the Mongkok district of Hong Kong, and is scheduled to open early next year. ALB
