Three of the villages are located in the identified Ingenia market clusters of South West NSW, Central West NSW and Tasmania. The other two villages are in new markets. These acquisitions are immediately accretive offering a combined trailing yield of 8.4% and expected to increase to a stabilised yield of 15.8% within three years with further upside identified.
This transaction is expected to settle in late January 2014 and will be funded through equity now received from the release of US sale escrows and existing debt.
The Group is well advanced with the disciplined investment of capital from the September 2013 Rights issue into manufactured home estates presently under due diligence and anticipates this capital to be deployed in early 2014.
