OPENING OF FULLY UNDERWRITTEN ACCELERATED BOOKBUILD OFFERING TO FUND ACQUISITIONS AND JSE TRADING HALT
IAP hereby announces the launch of an accelerated bookbuild offering of approximately AUD84 million
(approximately ZAR849 million(1)) through the issue of 55,572,553 new IAP units (“Placement”), at an issue price
of AUD1.52 (equivalent to ZAR15.361) per new IAP unit. The issue price represents a:
- 3.8% discount to the last close of AUD1.58 on the ASX on Wednesday, 25 September 2019
- 5.3% discount to the 5 day VWAP of AUD1.61 on the ASX on Wednesday, 25 September 2019
- 3.0% discount to the last close of ZAR15.83 on the JSE on Wednesday, 25 September 2019
- 2.2% discount to the 5 day VWAP of ZAR15.71 on the JSE on Wednesday, 25 September 2019
- 5.8% FY20 distribution yield(2)
The Placement will be completed by way of IAP’s existing general authority to issue units for cash (“the General
Issue for Cash”). Only public investors (as defined in under paragraph 4.25 and 4.26 of the JSE Listings
Requirements) may participate in the General Issue for Cash.
The Placement will be utilised to fund the acquisition of three industrial properties located in Perth, Adelaide and
Darwin in Australia (“Acquisitions”) and part of the associated transaction costs. Further details on the
Acquisitions are contained in the announcement lodged on SENS dated today’s date, 26 September 2019.
The Placement will be offered to qualifying investors and will be implemented through a bookbuild process (the
“Bookbuild”) which opens with immediate effect and will close at 12:00pm (South African time). The Placement
is not an offer to the public as contemplated under the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as
amended. The issue of the Units under the Placement is subject to the Underwriting Agreement not being
terminated in accordance with its terms.
The Placement is fully underwritten by J.P. Morgan Securities Australia Limited and Macquarie Capital
(Australia) Limited pursuant to an underwriting agreement entered into with the Responsible Entity
("Underwriting Agreement"). The directors of the Responsible Entity have made due and careful enquiry to
confirm that the aforementioned underwriters can meet their underwriting commitments in terms of the
Underwriting Agreement.
The new IAP units, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with existing
units of the Fund. New IAP units issued under the Placement will be entitled to the distribution for the six months
to 30 September 2019.(3)
