Announcement regarding possible offer - update
25.11.2020 08:57:51 CET | Entra ASA | Inside information
The board of directors (the "Board") of Entra ASA (the "Company") refers to
announcements made 24 November 2020 regarding a potential offer for the
Company's shares.
As set out yesterday, the Board has concluded that the latest offer made by
Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB ("SBB") will not be recommended. The Board
currently awaits the launch of the offer, as contemplated by the announcement
made by SBB, to fully understand its terms and conditions in order to provide
the recommendation to the Company's shareholders as required by the Norwegian
Securities Trading Act chapter 6.
Meanwhile, the Company has since yesterday engaged in continued discussions on
the non-binding proposal received from another party. Following an updated
evaluation of the latest terms of such proposal, also considering the recent
share price movement and the expressed support from shareholders following the
announcement on a potential offer, the Board has concluded that the proposal at
this point does not form a basis for a further process regarding a potential
transaction.
While the Board appreciates the strategic interest in Entra, the Board believes
that Entra has a bright future as an independent company This view is
underpinned by a number of factors, including:
Large, high-quality office portfolio centrally located in attractive Norwegian
market
1. Excellent income visibility from strong tenant roster (60 % public) on long,
CPI adjusted leases
2. Large and exciting project pipeline that will continue to drive income and
NAV growth
3. Expecting strong value development from ongoing yield compression and
favorable market developments, especially in Oslo
4. Strong organisation with track-record and market leading governance and
sustainability focus
The Board remains confident that Entra is well positioned to continue to create
significant shareholder value.
There can be no certainty that any offer will be made or completed. Further
announcement will be made when appropriate.
