Yes, it was one for one rights, priced at 35 cents each. Given its low gearing, I thought they would use the money to acquire assets in either Singapore or China, but it turned out to be in Perth and KL.
The herd is currently infatuated with the Chinese consumption-dream, so the asset acquisition in a non-PRC economy may have disappointed some of Starhill's shareholders, thus driving down the price? How else could the recent price fall be explained?

Still remember that they had issue rights recently?? The proceedings from the rights are going to fund these acquisition and some debts. This is my personal opinion.

What is a good entry point if you are to consider buying? Why?
If there is another rights issue, shouldn't the price be push up instead of down. If sell rights at such a low price, wat will the price be? $0.20 per share?
dont think! it could be a possibility !! :P expect the unexpected ! :D

Found this in their press release:
"The proposed Australian acquisition is expected to be completed in January 2010 and will be funded by a combination of debt and proceeds raised from Starhill Global REIT’s recent rights issue. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Starhill Global REIT’s distribution per unit (“DPU”). The pro forma financial effect of the acquisition on the DPU for the financial year ended 31 December 2008 is an additional 0.22 Singapore cents per unit."
Don't think there'll be another rights issue. In fact the DPU is increased. Counter shld be going up but strangely oversold.
Still assessing funding options for Malaysian purchases. The manager intends to utilize an asset backed securitisation structure (“ABS”) to acquire the Malaysian assets given tax benefits. This structure is awaiting further regulatory approvals. SGREIT intends to use a combination of its cash from the rights issue (completed back in 2Q09) and to issue new convertible preference units (CPS) but has yet to decide on the terms and size. We have not included earnings from the Malaysian assets in our forecast.
