The computation is simple, 1st half they distribute 8sen for dividend (which i understand is near 100% of their income, excluding RM 2million profit which is paper gain from valuation, though NAV will up a bit). So Assume whole year = 8 *2 = 16cents for current 19 properties.
The additional property add 1.28 cents next year so total 17.28 cents.
Private placement is 20% that's mean next year 120% share the dividend. 17.28censt / 120% = 14.4 cents DPU for next year.
Remember, the private placement is to purchase the 65mil and the extra 10mil is develop it further. So, the total debts still remain the same relative to NAV, but will be lower against total asset, which for me just a small +positive factor.
He he, if they can private placement at RM 1.70 and use extra to pare down debts then good for long term like what Cherroy say(short term not good coz now low interest environment)

It is easy if you want good returns is to increase borrowing by up to 300 % let say with current low int costs. ( instead of having private placements ) Most Foreign reits do that to justify a high yield per share.
With no additional increase in share units. DPU is more. You happy , co happy ( short term ). With many new prop needed to purchase , HIGH GEARING SEEMS TO BE A GOOD OPTION.
In actual fact, the add prop would increase Dividend yield to 11.6% ( Increase by 1.6% ) that matters most ? Or not ?
I suspect the total rental incomes could drop due to some unrented out prop, which could penalise on the return of new prop, if you compute on overall basis.
Actually , What they intend to do is to drop current borrowing to 27% ( limit to max 40% ) . If they allow to make cap repayment to you instead , hence share price drops, then also DPU might be more attractive. My thinking only.
Just my opinion only.
