2. Potential investors are invited to subscribe unit trusts of Thai SEC-registered Private
Equity Trust (“PE Trust”). The Trustee is the US$ 3-bn asset management firm
based in Thailand having responsibility to oversee the trust assets and manage the
trust as per the investment agreement. The subscription proceeds shall be used to
acquire the existing resort properties located on the island west of Phuket.
The acquisition price shall be discounted from the fair value as estimated by the
well-known international appraiser. By doing so, this could lock up the profit for PE
trust before selling the properties in the future.
After the acquisition, the PE Trust shall appoint a hotel chain operator and other
professionals as necessary to revamp the hotel businesses and operations.
Since the operation and profitability of the resort have been fully optimized, the PE
trust shall exit and capture the investment gain by selling the assets to the newly
established REIT.
The investment strategy of the investment project could be summarized in the
diagram below:
