Raised  S$250m  by  placing  125m  new  units.  CapitaMall  Trust  (CMT)  just announced  that  it  has  successfully  placed  125m  new  units  through  a  private placement at an issue price of S$2.00 per new unit, a discount of 4.8% from the weighted  average  price  of  S$2.10,  raising  gross  proceeds  of  S$250m.    The number of shares placed is higher than the previously proposed of 100.5m units due  to  oversubscription.   According  to  management,  98-99%  of  the  gross proceeds  will  be  primarily  used to finance capital  expenditure and AEIs  of CMT properties, refinance  existing debts  and  working capital. The remaining 1-2% of the  gross  proceeds  will  be  used  to  pay  for  the  estimated  fees  and  expenses, including professional fees and expenses incurred in this placement.  
 
Minimal  impact  on  share  price.  As  the  new  units  issued  via  this  placement would  constitute  only  3.8%  of  the  total  share  base,  we  believe  this  would  have minimal impact on the counter's share price as the hunt for dividend  yield plays continues  on  the  back  of  high  liquidity,  prolonged  low  interest  rate  environment and  a  strong  Singapore  currency.  Given  the  slight  dilution  in  DPU,  we  maintain our BUY rating on CMT with a slightly revised TP to S$2.270.
