Termination of agreement of intent Aachen BlueGate

Termination of intention to acquire Aachen BlueGate

Today it was agreed that the previously announced intention to acquire the Aachen BlueGate project (total investment value of 150 MEUR) will be terminated by mutual agreement and without compensation. As a result, the investment planned in Q3/Q4 2023 (in cash or shares) will therefore not take place.

In May 2022, Xior announced the acquisition of Basecamp. This transaction (which was completed on Sept. 15, 2022) included, next to the acquisition of 8 operational student residences and 2 developments, an agreement of intent subject to conditions regarding the acquisition of the Aachen BlueGate residence, a to be developed student residence with c. 460 units and a total investment value of c. 150 MEUR.

The acquisition of BlueGate Aachen as envisaged under this agreement of intent was subject to a number of conditions, including reaching agreement, by March 2023 on a definitive purchase agreement (subject to certain conditions), so that Xior would take over this residence on completion in Q3/Q4 2023. In the course of discussions on the definitive agreement, the parties agreed not to convert the agreement of intent into a definitive agreement but to terminate with immediate effect without paying any termination fee. As a result, the aforementioned 'phase 3' of the Basecamp transaction (see press release dated 30 May 2022) will not proceed and there will be no investment (either in cash or shares) in this regard in the second half of 2023.

This decision is fully in line with Xior's previously announced strategic exercise to optimise its portfolio and pipeline in light of changed market conditions. This removes a source of uncertainty as it is now clear that this future potential transaction will have no impact on either Xior's LTV or its outstanding number of shares.

As mentioned at the publication of the 2022 annual results, the scenario that this investment would not take place was already taken into account when preparing the 2023 earnings forecast. The profit forecast of at least 2.20 EUR EPS for 2023 (+6.3% vs 2022) thus remains unchanged by this announcement. This way Xior manages to eliminate a potential increase in LTV or dilution without negatively impacting earnings expectations.
