TRANSFIELD HOLDINGS SELLS DOWN CHARTER HALL GROUP HOLDING
Friday, 5 October 2007
Transfield Holdings sold overnight approximately 12.2% (53.2 million securities) in Charter Hall Group, via a selldown to a range of institutional investors. Transfield Holdings continues to hold 13 million securities or 3% in Charter Hall Group, which are escrowed until 30 June 2008. The selldown enables Transfield Holdings to fund a significant investment opportunity.
Transfield Holdings became an equity investor in Charter Hall Group in 2004 when it acquired 50% of the Group. At IPO in 2005 Transfield Holdings’ investment in the Group was diluted to 20%, which was then diluted to 15.2% following subsequent Charter Hall Group capital raisings.
David Harrison, Joint Managing Director of Charter Hall said, “We would like to express our appreciation to Transfield Holdings for the strong support provided to the Board and Management over the years”.
David Harrison advised that Mr. Roy Woodhouse and Mr. Glenn Fraser will continue as Non Executive Directors of the Charter Hall Group Board.
Macquarie Securities (Australia) Limited acted as Sole Lead Manager in the selldown.
