SYDNEY/SINGAPORE: Japanese telecom giant NTT is seeking to raise roughly $864 million in a Singapore IPO for a
data centre REIT

is included, according to a term sheet that marked the start of the bookbuilding process.
NTT DC REIT's portfolio comprises six data centre assets located in the United States, Austria and Singapore, according to a preliminary prospectus filed on Friday.
The value of the base offering is between $772 million and $812 million while the overallotment option would add another $51.5 million, the term sheet sheet showed.
"We are not able to provide further details except for those officially announced by our company," NTT said in an emailed response to Reuters' request seeking comment on Monday.
If the yield is priced at 7.5%, the overallotment would exercised. If fully exercised, NTT would be left with a 20% stake in the REIT.
The REIT is being marketed at an indicative forecast distribution yield of 7% to 7.5% for July-March on an annualised basis and 7.29% to 7.80% for the next financial year.
The REIT would have a market cap of up to $1.08 billion, the term sheet also showed.
Bookbuilding is due to end on Friday with listing set for July 14.
Cornerstone investors in the IPO include Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC with a $101 million investment, according to the term sheet.
The Singapore Exchange has seen growing interest from companies seeking to list after it announced measures in February to strengthen its equities market, including a 20% tax rebate for primary listings.
Hong Kong-listed China Medical System said last week it had applied for a secondary listing of its shares on the bourse. Other companies seeking to list in Singapore include the city-state's Foundation Healthcare Holdings.
IPO proceeds raised on the Singapore Exchange surged more than five-fold to $331.6 million in the first half of this year from a year earlier, while the last listing of similar size was a $977 million IPO for Digital Core REIT in 2021, according to LSEG.

Bangas to sell 2.1% Nykaa stake worth $140.3 million via block deal
Mumbai: Harindarpal Singh Banga, along with Indra Banga, will sell a 2.1% stake worth $140.3 million (approximately ₹ 1,200 crore) in beauty and personal care company Nykaa through a block deal, according to a term sheet accessed by Mint. The Bangas, among Nykaa's earliest investors, are offloading about 60 million shares at an offer price of ₹ 200 per share, a 5.5% discount to the latest closing price, the term sheet showed. FSN E-Commerce Ventures Ltd, which operates Nykaa, closed 2.1% lower at ₹ 211.59 on Wednesday on the National Stock Exchange. The stock has gained 28.7% so far this year. Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are managing the transaction. Banga, Nykaa, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs did not immediately respond to Mint's requests for comment. Banga, a commodities billionaire and chairman of Hong Kong-based Caravel Group, held an 8.7% stake in Nykaa before it listed in 2021. The Nayar family, who founded the company, still owns 52% and has not sold any shares since the IPO. This latest sale comes nearly a year after Banga divested over four crore shares—amounting to a 1.43% stake—at ₹ 208.30 apiece in August 2024, netting ₹ 851.5 crore. Following that transaction, his holding fell from 6.40% to 4.97%. For the quarter ended 31 March, Nykaa reported a near three-fold jump in consolidated net profit to ₹ 20.28 crore from ₹ 6.93 crore a year earlier. Revenue from operations rose 23.61% to ₹ 2,061.76 crore from ₹ 1,667.98 crore in FY24. Over the past year, the company has launched a record number of global beauty brands, forging partnerships with Yves Saint Laurent, NARS, Kerastase, Eucerin, GHD, Armani Beauty, Supergoop, and Nexxus, among others. Nykaa is now shifting toward a more profitable growth trajectory, aiming for mid-20% annual growth in its beauty and personal care (BPC) business over the next five years. The strategy includes deeper market penetration, premiumization, and enhanced convenience. The company plans to scale its physical footprint across tier 2 and 3 cities, increasing store count from 237 to over 500 by FY30. It is also investing heavily in regional influencer marketing, working with over 28,000 influencers to drive discovery. To improve delivery speeds, Nykaa is ramping up its logistics infrastructure. Its two-hour fulfilment model, 'Nykaa Now', is live in seven metros. This is supported by a network of 44 warehouses and 40+ rapid hubs, enabling same- or next-day delivery in key cities.
