half of 2022 (2H2022).</p><p>Post-acquisition, KIT’s AUM is expected to grow to around S$5.3 billion.</p><p>EMK is an attractive investment as proprietary expertise can be drawn from across the Keppel

student accommodation properties worth S$318.3 million from its sponsor, The Ascott Limited.</p><p>Seven of these assets are located in Australia, Japan and Vietnam while the remaining two are in France and the US.</p><p>With this acquisition, ART’s portfolio will exceed 100 properties and its total AUM will grow to S$8.3 billion, cementing its status as the largest hospitality trust in the region.</p><p>The transaction is expected to complete by November this year subject to approval by stapled security holders at an extraordinary general meeting to be held in September.</p><p>Post-acquisition, the proportion of ART’s stable income (comprising longer-stay properties and properties on master leases with fixed rent structures) will increase from the current 69% to 71%.</p><p>Distribution per stapled security (DPSS) for FY2021 is projected to rise by 2.8% from S$0.0432 to S$0.0444 after the transaction is
