Investa Office Fund (ASX:IOF)
Unsolicited, indicative non-binding proposal to acquire all units in IOF
The independent directors of Investa Listed Funds Management Limited (ILFML or the Responsibility Entity), as responsible entity for Investa Office Fund (IOF), announce that today it received an unsolicited, indicative, non-binding proposal from Cromwell Property Group (Cromwell) to acquire all of the outstanding units in IOF by way of trust scheme for 100% cash consideration (Proposal).
The Proposal is an all cash offer price of $4.85 per IOF unit, which is inclusive of, on Cromwell’s assumption, an anticipated distribution of $0.10 per IOF unit for the half year period ending 30 June 2017. The Proposal is subject to a number of conditions including undertaking due diligence.
The receipt of the Proposal follows discussions with Cromwell since November 2016.
Having received consent from Cromwell, a copy of its Proposal, including Due Diligence Information Request List and Process Deed, is attached.
The independent directors have not yet formed a view on the merits of the Proposal.
The independent directors propose to engage with Cromwell in relation to the Proposal including its terms and conditions and the disclosure of the identity of the proposed equity investors to the independent directors.
Further to the announcement yesterday, the independent directors will continue to negotiate the terms of the acquisition of 50% of Investa Office Management (Platform) with Investa Commercial Property Fund in order to establish options for IOF unitholders.
No action is required by IOF unitholders at this time.
The independent directors will provide further updates to the market as appropriate.

4 April 2017
Mr Richard Longes Chairman Investa Listed Funds Management Limited Deutsche Bank Place 126 Phillip Street Sydney NSW 2000
Dear Richard,
REVISED AND INCREASED ALL CASH PROPOSAL OF AUD$4.85 PER IOF SECURITY
We are pleased to submit a revised and improved fully funded, non-binding indicative proposal ( Proposal ) to acquire all of the issued securities of Prime Credit Property Trust and Armstrong Jones Office Fund, collectively Investa Office Fund ( IOF ). Our all cash offer price is $4.85 per IOF security which is inclusive of $0.10 per IOF security for the period ending 30 June 2017.
In light of your recent announcement, there are two options for consideration by the IOF securityholders:
-
The acquisition by IOF of a 50% stake in the Platform; or
-
Progressing the sale of 100% of the IOF securities for an all cash offer.
Cromwell believes that its $4.85 all cash Proposal is a superior proposal to the internal restructure being contemplated. In order to advance our Proposal, Cromwell requires due diligence by ILFML on reasonable and market terms, including as to standstills. A failure by IFLML’s to permit this due diligence will effectively close off the all cash Proposal to securityholders.
The terms of our Proposal are set out below.
Offer price
The formal offer will be made by the Trustee of a MIT compliant Fund, the unitholders of which will include Cromwell and a number of global real estate investors. Cromwell proposes to privatise IOF via an all cash offer to securityholders of $4.85 per IOF security, inclusive of the anticipated half year distribution of $0.10 per IOF security for the period ending 30 June 2017.
This Proposal represents:
-
an 8% premium to IOF NTA of $4.49 as at 31 December 2016;
-
a 14.9% premium to the undisturbed one month VWAP of $4.22 per IOF security prior to Cromwell’s 30 November 2016 announcement confirming Cromwell’s interest in privatising IOF;
-
a 9% increase on Cromwell’s initial offer price of $4.45 per IOF security
==> picture [596 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Terms and conditions
The Proposal is subject to the following key conditions:
-
Access to full due diligence under appropriate confidentiality and standstill arrangements;
-
Exclusivity for a period of 40 days;
-
Recommendation from the IOF board subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and no superior proposal; and
-
A Process Deed being executed by both parties.
Offer funding
The offer will be funded through a combination of equity and debt, with the equity being provided by a consortium of global real estate investors.
Assuming a Process Agreement is agreed and executed, Cromwell will immediately disclose the identity of the proposed equity investors to the independent board of IOF prior to commencing the exclusive due diligence period. Cromwell is ready to commence due diligence immediately.
Debt funding will be provided by senior banks as previously outlined – confirmation of support is available if required.
Process Deed and implementation
In order to facilitate discussions regarding the Process Deed, including conditionality, confidentiality and standstill arrangements, we have attached a draft Process Deed for review.
This Process Deed has been based on the Process Deed agreed and signed with Dexus with minimal changes, primarily to reflect the cash nature of the Proposal.
The Process Deed includes similar confidentiality and standstill obligations, however unlike the Dexus Process Deed, does not include any break fee.
On completion of the exclusive due diligence period, we envisage agreeing and executing an Implementation Deed, with the acquisition to take place via a scheme shortly thereafter.
Confidential / non-binding and incomplete indicative proposal
The Proposal contemplated in this letter is confidential, incomplete and non-binding. It is not an offer for IOF securities that is capable of acceptance or will otherwise give rise to a binding contract in relation to IOF securities. This letter is provided to you on the basis that its existence and all of its terms and contents are strictly confidential. You must not disclose its existence or any of its terms and content to any other party unless they are an Officer, employee or professional adviser of ILFML who has a need to know and only then if all reasonable endeavours are taken to ensure the matters disclosed remain strictly confidential. Disclosure must not be made in any other way without our prior consent.
CONFIDENTIAL

For the avoidance of doubt, this Proposal is not, and cannot be considered to be, notification or public announcement of an intention to make a takeover offer pursuant to section 631 of the Corporations Act, and is not intended to give rise to a continuous disclosure obligation for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules.
I look forward to hearing your response to our Proposal at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely
