CLA is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, and is the largest shareholder of CapitaLand with a 52 per cent stake.
Under the proposed restructuring, CapitaLand's shareholders are to hold shares in CapitaLand Investment Management (CLIM) - which is to be listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) by way of introduction. CLIM will own the investment management platforms and lodging business of CapitaLand.
