UPDATE ON ENGAGEMENTS IN RELATION TO A POSSIBLE MERGER BETWEEN ARROWHEAD AND FAIRVEST AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY
Arrowhead shareholders are referred to the previous cautionary announcements in relation to the Company’s
engagements with Fairvest Property Holdings Limited (“Fairvest”), the most recent of which was published
on 20 May 2021.
Having assessed the potential merits of a transaction with Fairvest and having regard to the level of Arrowhead
B shareholder support for such a transaction, Arrowhead’s appointed independent board (the “Independent
Board”) has determined that it is in the best interest of Arrowhead and its shareholders that the Company
engage with Fairvest in relation to a merger.
The Independent Board is strongly of the view that the benefits of a transaction between Fairvest and
Arrowhead would best be unlocked through a merger that creates a single, larger, more liquid REIT. In this
regard, the Independent Board considers a merger preferable to a transaction that would result in Arrowhead
becoming a listed subsidiary of Fairvest, where neither company would fully enjoy the benefits of increased
size or liquidity and where there is less ability to take advantage of the synergies or operational efficiencies
that may be unlocked through a merger.
Accordingly, the Company has begun engagements with Fairvest. On the basis of these engagements it is
considered likely that agreement will be reached between the parties on the way forward.
The Independent Board collectively and individually accepts responsibility for the information contained in
this announcement and certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the information contained in this
announcement relating to Arrowhead is true and this announcement does not omit anything that is likely to
affect the import of such information.
In the circumstances, Arrowhead shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when trading in
their Arrowhead shares until a further announcement is made.
