中金研究 公募REITs扩募是实现市场规模长期增长的重要手段之一。近期，华润有巢REIT首次采用了配售扩募方式，我们认为其流程和机制具有重要参考价 值，于此报告做重点讨论。 Abstract 全流程来看，首次配售扩募耗时较长，与A股配股以及REITs定向扩募相较各有异同。 首次配售扩募前期审核时间约16个月，其后从取得证监会批文至完 成资金募集约在2个月内，全流程耗时较长，我们认为主要系：1）无先例参考，需研究厘清实操细节；2）涉及投资者数目庞大，沟通耗时相对较长。往 前看，伴随首单扩募配售落地，后续发行效率或有望提升。与A股配股比较，REITs配售扩募限制相对较多，体现了市场初期规则对于投资者的保护。与 REITs定向扩募相比，各有优劣，适用场景有所不同：1）定向扩募发行效率高，且附带限售要求，但老股东可能面临股权被动稀释风险；2）配售扩募公 平性更佳，且我们认为配售过程强制触发机构重新审慎项目估值定价，中长期能够活跃市场流动性，并形成较好的换手，但缺点是目前流程较长，或放大 价格波动。 海外成熟市场扩募方式灵活度更高。 我们对比中国香港、新加坡以及美国市场扩募规则以及案例，主要差异点在于：1）配售时效上， ...
