Successful completion of institutional placement
SYDNEY (Friday, 24 September 2021) – Centuria Industrial REIT ( ASX: CIP ), is pleased to announce the successful completion of the fully underwritten institutional placement announced on Thursday, 23 September 2021 ( Placement ), raising $300.0 million through the issue of approximately 78.9 million new CIP units ( New Units ).
The New Units were issued at a price of $3.80 per New Unit, reflecting:
-
5.2% discount to last close price of $4.01 per unit on 22 September 2021;
-
4.8% forecast FY22 FFO yield[1] ; and
-
4.6% forecast FY22 distribution yield[2] .
The New Units will settle on Tuesday, 28 September 2021, with allotment and normal trading to occur on Wednesday, 29 September 2021. New Units issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing CIP units from the date of issue, and will be entitled to the distribution for the quarter ending 30 September 2021.
CIP confirms that, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Placement is within CIP’s existing 15% placement capacity and does not require unitholder approval.
The proceeds from the Placement will be used to partially fund the acquisition of eight freehold urban infill industrial assets (the Acquisitions )[3] for a total purchase price of $351.3 million[4] on an average initial yield of 4.1% and a weighted average capitalisation rate of 4.23%. The Acquisitions expand CIP’s exposure across key industrial sub-sectors including distribution centres, cold storage and transport logistics, which are experiencing strong tailwinds underpinned by accelerating consumer shift to online retail.
CIP’s Fund Manager, Mr Jesse Curtis, commented, “The Placement received strong demand from new and existing institutional investors, indicating clear endorsement of CIP’s strategy and management capability to build scale and amass, off market, a high-quality portfolio of urban infill industrial assets to deliver value to unitholders.”
UNIT PURCHASE PLAN
CIP is also undertaking a non-underwritten unit purchase plan ( UPP ) to raise up to $25.0 million[5] . Eligible unitholders in Australia and New Zealand will be invited to subscribe for up to $30,000 in additional units, free of any brokerage or transaction costs, at $3.76 per unit (being the issue price under the Placement adjusted for CIP’s 30 September 2021 distribution of 4.325 cents per unit). New units issued under the UPP will rank equally with existing CIP units from the date of issue, however, as they are issued after the distribution record date, they will not be entitled to the distribution for the quarter ending 30 September 2021.
Further information on the UPP will be lodged with the ASX and sent to eligible unitholders on Thursday, 30 September 2021.
RESUMPTION OF TRADING
CIP units are expected to resume trading on the ASX from market open today (Friday, 24 September 2021).
