Press release Paris, 16 November 2009
Sale of Icade's housing division: Definitive offer and signature of agreement
Following the press release of 30th June 2009 announcing the start of exclusive negotiations with the SNI, representing a consortium of 25 social housing investors, Icade declares that it signed an agreement on 13th November 2009 confirming the definitive offer received by this consortium.
The due diligence work carried out during the period of exclusive negotiations has allowed us to confirm the main terms of the indicative offer received in June 2009 and was accompanied by a price adjustment of around -1%.
Furthermore, the consortium has pledged to retain staff attached to these assets, as well as administrative personnel necessary for managing them.
At the same time, Icade has extended the scope of the sale by integrating an additional offer which was received concerning 2,677 housing units. Consequently, the number of housing units transferred to the ad hoc structure held with the SNI, who will then manage it, is reduced to 4,745, with a corresponding appraisal value of some 250 million euros at 30th June 2009.
Within this framework and in accordance with the schedule announced, the signatures of the promises of sale should be completed with a part before the end of 2009 and the majority in the first half of 2010, being subject to the usual suspensive conditions in terms of real estate and financing. The SNI has guaranteed these signatures by members of the consortium until 31st May 2010.
Icade will thus have made a block sale in 2009 and 2010 for over 2 billion euros in assets, i.e. 29,452 housing units, which will generate some 600 million euros in fiscal capital gains, 50% of which can be distributed within the SIIC regime.
On completion of these transactions, Icade will continue, as planned, to gradually sell its housing units held under joint-ownership (1,553 housing units for an appraisal value of some 160 million euros at 30th June 2009).
