    [SINGAPORE] FNA Group, the owner and operator of chocolate retailer The Cocoa Trees, has paid about S$450,000 to its landlord Aims Apac Reit, after it was found to have sublet industrial units at its headquarters in Hougang without authorisation.

    The real estate investment trust (Reit) was found to have breached JTC lease conditions for the building it holds in Defu Lane.

    It was asked to pay a regularisation fee of about S$450,000, which FNA Group has paid to Aims Apac Reit.
