AROUNDTOWN PROPERTY HOLDINGS PLC CONSIDERS ISSUING NEW SECURITIES AND
UPDATES ON ACQUISITIONS
Larnaca, 6 October 2016, 14:20
Aroundtown Property Holdings PLC (the "Company") announces today that it is
considering, subject to market condition, to raise funds by issuing
perpetual subordinated notes and/or straight bonds (the "Securities").
The Company intends to use the amount raised in the potential issuance of
the Securities to fund the Company's growth strategy.
The Company is in advance stage to acquire a retail property portfolio for
a purchase price of approx. EUR780 million (the "Portfolio"). In parallel,
the Company has received bids from third parties to acquire more than half
of the properties belonging to the Portfolio. The effect of the acquisition
after the potential on-sales to third parties will be a net acquisition
amount of approx. EUR350 million (the "Net Portfolio").
The Net Portfolio is fully let to an investment grade tenant (rated BBB- by
S&P) with a weighted average lease term ("WALT") of approx. 10 years and
generates approx. EUR28 million of annual net rent, reflecting net yield of
above 7.5%. The Net Portfolio is comprised of 17 properties across Germany
mostly overlapping with Aroundtown's strategic locations. The closing of
the transaction is expected to be in the first quarter of 2017 and is
subject to standard condition precedents.
