R&F Properties will have the option to repurchase the entire issued share capital of R&F Properties VS (UK) Co., Limited and related intercompany loans from Far East Consortium on or before 6 months after completion.
Global co-head of finance, funds and restructuring Jini Lee commented, "We are pleased to work again with Far East Consortium as they look to accelerate their impressive repertoire of developments internationally. Our team in Hong Kong and UK were delighted to have advised on another successful transaction within a short time period."
