​The Link Management Limited ("The Link"), as the manager of The Link Real Estate Investment Trust ("The Link REIT"; Hong Kong stock code: 823), announced today that The Link and China Vanke Co., Ltd. ("China Vanke") have mutually agreed to extend the expiry date of the non-binding Letter of Intent to 30 April this year on the acquisition of the Longgang Vanke Mall in Shenzhen.

The Link signed the Letter of Intent with China Vanke last November. Due to the complex corporate structure technicalities involved in the acquisition, the extension of the Letter of Intent would allow ample time for further due diligence and related arrangements in the best interest of The Link REIT's unitholders.
