Hamburg, 20 March 2007 – Alstria Office AG (alstria), a real estate company
solely focused on acquiring, owning and managing office real estate in
Germany, today announced the key terms for its share offering. The roadshow
will start tomorrow and the offer price range will presumably be announced
around March 28, 2007, thus initiating the offer period, which is expected
to run from March 28, 2007 to April 2, 2007. During this time interested
investors may submit offers to purchase shares. The Company will publish,
in the form of a supplement to the prospectus, the exact start and end of
the offer period, the offer price range, and other information.
A total of up to 25.4 million ordinary bearer shares with no par value will
be offered. Of those, up to 16 million shares will result from a capital
increase. The remaining shares will be offered by the selling shareholder,
a subsidiary of Captiva Capital Partners 2 SCA, which will remain an
important shareholder of alstria after the IPO with an expected stake of
slightly less than 50 % in the Company assuming the greenshoe option of an
additional up to 3.81 million shares is exercised in full. Captiva Capital
Partners 2 SCA is advised by Natixis Capital Partners Ltd. Free float is
expected to be slightly more than 50 % again assuming the greenshoe option
is exercised in full.
The IPO comprises a public offering to retail and institutional investors
in Germany and Luxembourg and private placements outside of those two
countries.
Trading is planned to commence on the Regulated Market (Prime Standard) at
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on April 3, 2007, under the trading symbol
'AOX'. The International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is
'DE000A0LD2U1', the German Securities Code (WKN) 'A0LD2U'.
Olivier Elamine, CEO of alstria: 'I expect that our track record, our long
term and focused business model, and our growth strategy will be appealing
to investors. The listing of alstria would also allow the Company to
increasingly participate in the positive development of the German office
real estate market and expand relationships with our core tenants.'
Based upon the current draft of the legislative proposal concerning the
introduction of G-REITs, alstria’s management and the selling shareholder
intend to procure the conversion of the Company into a G-REIT. However, the
legislative process is not finalized and no assurance can be given that
alstria will convert into a G-REIT.
alstria intends to use funds raised from the capital increase contemplated
as part of the IPO to finance the Company’s growth-oriented, value-adding
strategy that has been successfully initiated since the Company’s founding
and in particular to finance the acquisition of an office real estate
portfolio from UBS Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH agreed upon in December
2006. alstria’s strategy is based on selective investments, active asset
and portfolio management as well as on establishing and maintaining good
relationships with clients and key decision makers. To this end, the
Company targets selective investments with an annual investment volume of
Euro 500 to 750 million over the next three years. alstria expects future
acquisitions to originate mainly from privatizations in the public sector,
divestments in the corporate sector as well as portfolio restructuring
processes of institutional and private German-based investors.
Further information regarding the terms and conditions of the offer can be
found in the prospectus approved by the BaFin on March 20, 2007, which can
be downloaded on alstria’s website (www.alstria.de) and is available free
of charge from the Company and financial institutions involved in the
offering.
