Goodman Australia Industrial Fund successfully prices US$300 million senior, unsecured note issue

Date 7 November 2011 Release Immediate

Goodman Group is pleased to announce that Goodman Australia Industrial Fund (GAIF or Fund) has successfully priced its inaugural US$300 million US Private Placement (USPP) issue.

The senior, unsecured notes are to be issued in two tranches, with 10 year (US$158 million) and 12 year (US$142 million) terms, providing an increase in the Fund’s average debt maturity from 3.9 to 4.8 years. The proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt facilities. The issue will not impact GAIF’s gearing ratio.

Goodman’s Group CEO, Greg Goodman said, “We are very pleased with the success of GAIF’s first USPP issue. Coupled with the recent MTN issue, it is another significant step in the successful and ongoing implementation of the Fund’s strategy of diversifying its debt capital sources and extending the maturity profile of its finance facilities.”
