Divestment of US portfolio
-
In line with CQO’s stated strategy to reweight to Australia, CQO has commenced the final phase to sell its US portfolio
-
CQO engaged Bank of America Merrill Lynch to run an independent sale process to sell the US portfolio
-
28 expressions of interest at the conclusion of the first phase for all and parts of the portfolio
-
A shortlist of bidders have been selected to enter the second phase of bidding and conduct due diligence
-
A removal of the CQO Responsible Entity is likely to destabilise the US sale process
-
Possibility that bidders may withdraw due to uncertainty
-
Will trigger pre-emptive rights in favour of certain joint venture partners
-
It is highly unlikely that a replacement RE with no knowledge of the complexities of the US assets will be able to maximise the net proceeds of the sale process
-
CHC is clearly best placed to manage the sale of the US assets
-
Intimate knowledge of the assets
-
Minimise leakage associated with joint venture issues, debt, leasing agreements and the finalisation of major re-leases and / or new leases
-
Involvement in process to date
CQO management has significant experience in executing US real estate transactions - $6.8bn US assets bought and sold[1]

03 Risks associated with the removal of Charter Hall
Removal of Charter Hall as manager or winding up

Forced asset sales in Australia will likely promote discounts to book value There is currently c$13bn1of institutional real estate “on market” and selling the CQO Australian portfolio is unlikely to maximise proceeds for unitholders |

Questions that CQO unitholders should be asking “activist hedge funds” and their advisers
-
Who is your proposed replacement responsible entity (“ RE ”) for CQO? What is their relevant experience?
-
Who are the directors of the replacement RE and their skills / experience?
-
How will you give comfort to CQO unitholders that decisions taken by the new RE will not be taken only to suit your / the hedge funds interests?
-
What will be your distribution policy for CQO and will you guarantee payment of distributions by CQO?
-
Can you guarantee that CQO lenders will not seek early repayment of debt following a change of RE and event of default which may prevent CQO from returning capital to unitholders following the sale of the US portfolio?
-
How will you manage the rights that certain joint venture partners may have following a change in RE to buy out our interest in jointly owned assets?
-
What is your capital management plan for CQO and ongoing financing arrangements / how will you manage the relationship with CQO lenders?
-
How will you manage the potential Australian tax risks on selling Australian assets?
-
Do you commit to retaining CQO as an ASX listed and Australian governed entity?
