Maple Infrastructure Trust has informed the Exchange regarding Disclosure of material issue
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Maple Infrastructure Trust's Investment Manager disclosed that its Sponsor (Maple Highways Pte. Ltd., holding 15% of units i.e. 5.28 crore units) and Sponsor Group entity (CDPQ Infrastructures Asia III Inc., holding 60% of units i.e. 21.13 crore units) have created an encumbrance by pledging 100% of their respective unit holdings via a non-disposal undertaking, dated November 19, 2025. In aggregate, 75% of the trust's total outstanding units are now encumbered in favour of Axis Trustee Services Limited, acting as security trustee for lenders to Maple Highways Pte. Ltd. The loan proceeds will be used by Maple Highways to subscribe to new units issued by MIT for acquiring certain road/infrastructure assets, make equity investments linked to those acquisitions, and pay related transaction costs. The encumbrance will remain until the underlying facility is fully repaid.
This is a routine regulatory disclosure linked to a fund-raising exercise to support MIT's future asset acquisitions. For unit holders, the key takeaway is that 75% of total units are now locked as collateral, which could limit free trading by the Sponsor/Sponsor Group until the loan is repaid, but the borrowing is for the trust's own acquisition pipeline rather than any stress event.
