Antwerp, 25 May 2016
The shareholders of regulated real estate company Intervest Offices & Warehouses have opted for 57% of their shares entitled to dividend for a contribution of their dividend rights in return for new shares instead of payment of the dividend in cash.
This leads for Intervest Offices & Warehouses to a strengthening of its shareholders' equity by € 11,6 million (share capital and share premium) by means of the creation of 545.171 new shares, as a result of which the total number of shares of Intervest Offices & Warehouses as of today, 25 May 2016, amounts to 16.784.521. The remaining dividends are paid in cash for a total gross amount of € 16,2 million (including withholding taxes).
This capital increase provides a decrease of the debt ratio of 1,8% compared to a 100% distribution of the dividend in cash. The funds not paid out in cash will be used by Intervest Offices & Warehouses for financing its growth plan, whereby additional expansion in logistics real estate and re-orientation in the office portfolio form the general principles.
The actual settlement of the dividend payment will take place as at Thursday 26 May 2016, by which, depending on the shareholder's choice, new shares, issued in return for the contribution of dividend rights, will be delivered, or the dividend for 2015 will be paid out in cash, or a combination of both previous payment options will take place.
The newly created shares will be listed as from Friday 27 May 2016 and will be tradable as from that moment on Euronext Brussels. The new shares are entitled to the results of Intervest Offices & Warehouses as from 1 January 2016 (first dividend payable in May 2017).

No outstanding options or warrants have been issued that entitle their holder to shares. Each of the shares carries one voting right on the general meeting and these shares represent the denominator for the purpose of notifications under the Transparency act (i.e. notifications in case of a.o. reaching, crossing or falling below the statutory or legal thresholds).
