In light of differences between Vonovia's Group FFO and acquisition targets' Rental FFO we are currently reviewing our FFO acquisition criterion to better reflect the accretion impact of future acquisition opportunities.
Accretion based on transaction financing of cash through equity raised in H1 2019 and incremental debt financing, assuming ca. €30m of synergies on FFO (pro forma). NAV accretion excludes capitalized synergies. As per our acquisition criteria we assess the transaction on a theoretical 50% debt and 50% equity basis comparing target FFO to our internal rental FFO estimates for first full year of consolidation
