CROMWELL REGISTERS CEREIT PROSPECTUS IN SINGAPORE
Cromwell Property Group (ASX:CMW) (Cromwell, the Sponsor) announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cromwell EREIT Management Pte. Ltd., has today registered a Prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for the initial public offering (IPO) of Cromwell European Real Estate Investment Trust (CEREIT).
The CEREIT IPO is fully underwritten by Goldman Sachs, UBS, DBS, Daiwa and CLSA.
CEREIT is expected to commence trading on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) at 2.00pm SGT on 30 November 2017.
CEREIT’s initial portfolio comprises 74 properties[1] with an aggregate lettable area of approximately 1.1 million sqm and a total appraised value of approximately €1,354 million as at 30 April 2017.
The 74 properties are located across five countries in Europe (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands) with a focus on the office and light industrial / logistics sectors.
“After re-engaging with investors, and considering feedback from strategic partners and market conditions, we are delighted to be able to register the Prospectus with MAS,” said Cromwell CEO Paul Weightman.
CEREIT has been well supported by investors, with a clear investment focus on office and industrial assets in key Western Europe gateway cities and will offer an attractive initial yield based on the issue price of CEREIT units.
Cromwell’s Sponsor stake is valued at approximately €310 million[2] and is fully funded.
“We are pleased with the strong support we have received and look forward to the listing next week,” Mr. Weightman concluded.
Ends.
