Goodman's Australian managed fund obtains new debt facility
Date 21 January 2008 Release Immediate
The A$3.2 billion Goodman Australian Industrial Fund (“GAIF”) has obtained a new debt facility to initially replace facilities which had been due to mature throughout 2008 and also further expand its capacity.
GAIF is a specialised industrial property wholesale fund with 84 stabilised assets and is the largest of its kind in Australia. It benefits from its relationship with Goodman Group, the largest owner manager and developer of this type of property in Australia. The fund currently has a gearing ratio of 38% and is very well positioned for continued growth.
Two of Goodman’s key Australian relationship banks (Westpac Banking Corporation and Commonwealth Bank of Australia) have underwritten A$1.6 billion and will jointly syndicate the 4 year facility.
This now completes all material refinancing for 2008 for all Goodman managed funds globally, providing them with a weighted average debt maturity of 3.9 years.
