ACQUISITION OF NEW PROPERTY
1. ACQUISITION OF NEW PROPERTY
1.1. Acquisition
Unitholders are advised that the Fund has entered into and settled a contract for sale with Maritime Fire &
Safety Pty Ltd (ACN 003 220 997) to acquire the property located at 67 Calarco Drive, Derrimut VIC 3030
(Property).
The effective date of the acquisition of the Property is the settlement date under the contract for sale,
which occurred simultaneously with signing the contract for sale on 24 December 2014.
There were no conditions precedent to the acquisition of the Property.
1.2. Purchase consideration
The purchase consideration is AUD 8,100,000 which represents an annualised property yield of 7.73%
(7.25% post all transaction costs) based on the net passing income as at the settlement date.
The purchase consideration and all transaction costs will be funded through the existing debt facility with
Westpac Banking Corporation.
1.3. Rationale for acquisition of the Property
The acquisition of the Property is consistent with the Fund’s strategy of investing in well located, high
quality assets. The Responsible Entity is actively seeking opportunities to grow and diversify the Fund’s
asset base, enhance unitholder value and contribute to sustainable income growth. The acquisition of the
Property represents an attractive investment for the Fund as:
(a) it is accretive based on the positive spread between the property yield and funding costs;
(b) the majority of the income (93%) is underpinned by a lease to Groundmaster Engineering Pty Ltd
(GEPL), whose principal business activities comprise industrial engineering design solutions, and
whose ultimate parent is Skips AS Tudor of Norway, the private investment vehicle of the well-known
Wilhelmsen shipping and logistics family;
(c) the balance of the income (7%) is underpinned by a lease to iOM Pty Ltd (iOM) in respect of a
prominent advertising sign that fronts the Western Freeway;
(d) the weighted average lease expiry is 8 years and contracted annual rental growth is 3.50% in
respect of the lease to GEPL and CPI in respect of the lease to iOM;
(e) all outgoings are fully recoverable under the leases;
(f) the Property is located in one of Melbourne’s most established industrial areas 18 kilometers from
the Melbourne CBD and benefits from excellent road access and visibility; and
(g) there are depreciation allowances which will provide a tax shield on distributions payable to
unitholders.
