Offering

The Preferential Right will be traded on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels during the subscription period, i.e. from November 21, 2019 until and including December 2, 2019 (at 4.00 pm) (the 'Rights Subscription Period').

Existing shareholders holding Preferential Rights and other holders of Preferential Rights are entitled to subscribe to the New Shares during the Rights Subscription Period, subject to the restrictions in the prospectus published by the Issuer (the 'Prospectus), at an issue price of EUR 12.40 per New Share and at the ratio of 3 Preferential Rights for 1 New Share (the 'Ratio').

The Offering relates to a maximum amount of 9.090.909 New Shares which have the same rights and benefits as the existing shares, and shall rank pari passu in all respects, including as to entitlement to dividends, with, the existing and outstanding Shares of the Issuer at the moment of their issuance. The Shares issued in this Offering will bear full rights to dividends for the current financial year, started on 1 July 2019.

The share capital increase was decided upon by the statutory manager of TINC in the framework of the authorised capital on November 18, 2019.

Reasons of the Offering and use of proceeds

The gross proceeds of the Offering, together with the available cash of the Issuer, is to be used primarily to

  • (i) Fund the outstanding investment commitments, in a total amount of EUR 102.5 million, as follows:
    • a. an aggregate amount of approximately EUR 85.3 million to finance off-balance commitments to existing Participations Storm Flanders (increased commitment of approximately EUR 15 million in December 2018), Kroningswind (commitment of EUR 40 million), Glasdraad (increased commitment of EUR 20 million in July 2019), Réseau Abilis, De Haan Vakantiehuizen and Princess Beatrix lock;
    • b. an aggregate amount of approximately EUR 17.2 million to acquire the Contracted Growth Investments A15 and Princess Beatrix lock (acquisition of additional participation), both subject to conditions precedent;

As an investment company, the Issuer is continuously investigating and pursuing new investment opportunities. Therefore the remaining available cash following the Offering may also be used to allow the Issuer to pursue new investment opportunities to realise additional growth.

At the date of the Prospectus, some of the outstanding off-balance commitments have already been funded with available cash.

Issue price

The issue price of the New Shares amounts to EUR 12.40 (the 'Issue Price') and was determined by the Issuer in accordance with the Joint Bookrunners on the basis of the share price on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels, taking into account a discount that is typically granted in this type of transaction.

The Issue Price is 11.43% lower than the closing price of the share on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels on November 19, 2019 (which amounted to EUR 14.00).

Preferential Rights

The Preferential Rights, represented by coupon no. 11 attached to the existing shares, will be detached from the existing Shares on November 20, 2019 after market close on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels. The Preferential Rights will be tradable on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels under ISIN code BE0970174778.

Dividend Rights

The Shares issued in this Offering will bear full rights to dividends for the current financial year, started on 1 July 2019.

Private placement of Scrips

Preferential Rights that are not exercised during the Rights Subscription Period will be converted into an equal number of scrips (the "Scrips"). The Scrips will be offered for sale by the Underwriters in a private placement with investors in Belgium and by way of a private placement exempt from prospectus requirement or similar formality in such other jurisdictions as will be determined by the Issuer in consultation with the Global Coordinators, outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act, organised by way of an accelerated bookbuilding procedure in order to determine a single market price per Scrip that is expected to start on December 3, 2019 and to end on the same date (the "Scrips Private Placement"). The net proceeds of the sale of the Scrips (if any) will be divided proportionally between all holders of Preferential Rights who have not exercised them, unless the net proceeds of the sale of the Scrips divided by the total number of unexercised Preferential Rights is less than EUR 0.01. Purchasers of Scrips in the Scrips Private Placement shall irrevocably undertake to subscribe for the corresponding number of New Shares at the Issue Price and in accordance with the Ratio. The results of the Rights Offering and the Scrips Private Placement as well as, as the case may be, the amount payable to the holders of unexercised Preferential Rights are expected to be announced on December 3, 2019.

Listing of the New Shares

The New Shares will be listed in principle as from December 5, 2019 on Euronext Brussels. The New Shares will be traded under the ISIN code BE0974282148 (i.e. the same code as the existing shares).
