Propertylink portfolio and co-investment valuations, status of the ESR Proposal and EGM

PORTFOLIO AND CO-INVESTMENT VALUATIONS

Propertylink Group (ASX: PLG) ( Propertylink ) today announces the independent valuations of Propertylink’s wholly owned industrial portfolio and investment management platform.

The Directors of Propertylink ( Directors ) commissioned the independent valuations in response to the non-binding, indicative and conditional proposal from ESR Real Estate (Australia) Pty Ltd ( ESR ) to acquire all the Propertylink securities which it does not already own by way of an agreed off-market takeover offer ( Proposal ).

Independent valuations were completed for 29 of the 31 properties[1] in the wholly owned industrial portfolio as at 30 September 2018. The independent valuations have resulted in a net increase of $30.9 million or approximately 3.9%[2] on book value at 30 September 2018. The portfolio weighted average capitalisation rate has reduced by 17 bps to 6.49%[3] . Further detail on the independent valuation metrics for the wholly owned industrial portfolio is provided in Annexure 1.

Across the investment management platform, 25 of the 28 properties[4] were independently valued as at 30 September 2018[5] . The independent valuations have resulted in an increase in the carrying value of Propertylink’s co-investment in external funds of $8.6 million.
