Ltd. (MCTTC).Moody's has also placed on review for downgrade the Baa1 ratings on the senior unsecured notes drawn down from the program under MCTTC. MCTTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCT and its notes and programs are guaranteed by MCT.The outlook on all MCT's ratings has been changed to rating under review from stable.Moody's has placed on review for upgrade Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust's (MNACT) Baa3 issuer rating.At the same time, Moody's has placed on review for upgrade the provisional (P)Baa3 ratings on the senior unsecured euro medium-term note (EMTN) program of MNACT, and on the guaranteed senior unsecured EMTN programs of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Treasury Company (S) Pte Ltd and Mapletree North Asia Commercial Treasury Company (HKSAR) Limited.Moody's has also placed on review for upgrade the Baa3 guaranteed senior unsecured rating on the notes under Mapletree North Asia Commercial Treasury Company (HKSAR) Limited's EMTN program. DBS Trustee Limited, in its capacity as the trustee of MNACT, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the notes of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Treasury Company (HKSAR) Limited and programs of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Treasury Company (S) Pte Ltd and Mapletree North Asia Commercial Treasury Company (HKSAR) Limited.The outlook on all MNACT's ratings has been changed to rating under review from negative.The review follows the announcement on 31 December 2021 of the proposed merger of MCT and MNACT. The merger is to be effected through the acquisition by MCT of all the issued and paid-up units in MNACT by way of a trust scheme of arrangement. The transaction is expected to close by the end of June 2022.\"The review for downgrade reflects the potential weakening of MCT's credit metrics and uncertainty around its financial policy following the merger with MNACT. However, the final impact remains uncertain as the merger is still subject to, amongst others, the approval of the unitholders,\" says Junling Tan, a Moody's Analyst.\"The review for upgrade reflects our expectation that MNACT's rating could benefit from its 100% ownership by MCT, following the completion of the proposed merger. However, the final impact on MNACT's rating will depend on our assessment of the likelihood of extraordinary support that MCT will provide to MNACT in case of distress,\" adds TanPlease click on this link https://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBC_ARFTL460906 for the List of Affected Credit Ratings. This list is an integral part of this Press Release and identifies each affected issuer.RATINGS RATIONALE / FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS-- Mapletree Commercial TrustThe total consideration for the proposed transaction is around SGD4.24 billion. MNACT unitholders may elect either (i) scrip-only consideration, or (ii) cash-and-scrip consideration. In case of scrip-only consideration, MCT plans to issue 2,103 million new MCT units and fund the transaction cost of SGD18.1 million with debt. In case of cash-and-scrip consideration, MCT will issue 1,895 million new MCT units and fund the cash component and transaction cost with SGD237.9 million in debt and SGD200 million in perpetual securities.The consolidation of MNACT, which has a weaker leverage profile, coupled with the incurrence of incremental debt and perpetual securities to fund the merger's cash consideration, will raise MCT's leverage.Pro forma for the merger, Moody's expects MCT's leverage -- as measured by adjusted net debt/EBITDA-- to increase to around 9.4x-9.9x from 8.2x for its financial year ending 31 March 2022 (fiscal 2022), which is weaker than the 8.5x downgrade threshold for its Baa1 rating. At the same time, interest coverage -- as measured by adjusted EBITDA/interest expense -- would remain healthy at approximately 4.4x-4.8x.If the merger goes ahead as planned, the new entity will have a more geographically diversified portfolio across the retail, office and business parks segments. The trust's single asset concentration risk will also be reduced significantly. In such a scenario, Moody's also expects the trust to reassess its long-term financial policy which balances its business strategy, competitive position, and the interests of its key stakeholders.MCT has excellent liquidity for the next 15 months. As of 30 September 2021, on a pro forma basis, the enlarged trust's cash and cash equivalents of around SGD320 million and undrawn committed facilities were sufficient to cover the trust's upcoming debt maturities of SGD1,032 million over the next 15 months.In terms of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, Moody's has considered governance risk around related-party transaction between MCT and its sponsor, Mapletree Investments Pte. Ltd (MIPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (Temasek, Aaa stable). Nonetheless, this risk is mitigated by the regulatory oversight provided by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and exercised through a board that for the majority consists of independent directors. Further, there is an alignment of interest between MCT and its sponsor because the latter has maintained at least a 30% stake in the trust since its listing.If the merger goes ahead as planned, Moody's review will focus on (1) the business profile of the combined trust; (2) the funding structure for the approximate SGD417.3 million cash consideration; and (3) the trust's financial policy, including its liquidity profile, pro forma for the acquisition debt.The rating could be downgraded by up to one notch, if Moody's assesses MCT to have a more aggressive long term financial policy post the merger. Moody's assessment of combined entity's financial policy will also take into account its increased scale and geographic diversification.-- Mapletree North Asia Commercial TrustMoody's expects MNACT's business profile and credit metrics will remain largely unchanged following the merger. However, MNACT will no longer be separately listed and will exist as a sub-trust of MCT. MNACT's noteholders may opt for early redemption upon the delisting of MNACT. Nevertheless, Moody's expects MNACT to tap its undrawn credit facilities should the need arise.Moody's also expects that the combined portfolio of MCT and MNACT will be of stronger credit quality than MNACT's standalone portfolio.The ability of MCT to provide support to MNACT will be based on the rating of the combined trust, and its willingness will be based on the linkages and level of integration between MCT and MNACT following the merger.MNACT has excellent liquidity. As of 30 September 2021, the trust's cash balance of around SGD218 million and undrawn committed credit facilities were sufficient to cover its upcoming debt maturities of approximately SGD568 million over the next 15 months. Moody's also expects refinancing risk to be further mitigated by the trust's track record of access to funding and established banking relationships.In terms of ESG factors, Moody's has considered the governance risk stemming from the related party transactions between MNACT and its sponsor, MIPL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek. This risk is mitigated by the regulatory oversight provided by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and exercised through a board that for the majority consists of independent directors. Furthermore, there is an alignment of interests between MNACT and its sponsor because the latter has maintained a stake of at least 30% in the trust since its listing.If the merger goes ahead as planned, Moody's review will focus on (1) the ability and willingness of MCT to provide support to MNACT; (2) MNACT's business strategy and capital structure; and (3) MNACT's transparency around its operational and financial performance.MNACT's ratings could be upgraded if Moody's assesses, following approval of the merger by unitholders, that (1) MNACT's standalone credit profile remains intact; and (2) MCT's ability and willingness to provide extraordinary support result in an uplift for MNACT's rating.On the other hand, MNACT's ratings could be confirmed at the current level (1) if the proposed merger does not go ahead; or (2) the proposed merger goes ahead but Moody's concludes that MCT's ability and willingness to provide extraordinary support do not result in an uplift for MNACT's rating.The principal methodology used in these ratings was REITs and Other Commercial Real Estate Firms Methodology published in July 2021 and available at https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBC_1272320.

The trust's sponsor, MIPL, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Temasek, which is wholly owned by the Government of Singapore (Aaa stable). At 27 December 2021, MIPL held a 32.6% stake in MCT.Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust (MNACT) was listed on the Singapore stock exchange in 2013.
