SINGAPORE, May 27 (Reuters) - Singapore Press Holdings Ltd

(SPH) said on Monday it plans to list two shopping

malls valued at S$3.07 billion ($2.43 billion) via a real estate

investment trust (REIT) listing scheduled for July.

SPH plans to hold 70 percent of the units in SPH REIT, whose

assets are the Paragon shopping mall in the city-state's prime

Orchard shopping district and Clement Mall in a western suburb.

The Singapore publishing and property firm plans to

distribute 18 Singapore cents a share as a special dividend to

shareholders after the listing, it said in a statement.

Credit Suisse, DBS and Oversea-Chinese

Banking Corp are joint bookrunners for the IPO, IFR, a

Thomson Reuters publication, reported earlier.
