- Regulated press release
91.5% take-up of the public offering for the subscription to new shares with preferential subscription rights
Launch of the scrip private placement on 20 June 2013
Leasinvest Real Estate SCA announces that within the framework of the public offering for the subscription to a maximum of 926,038 new shares at a price of 65.5 EUR per new share, subscriptions have been received for 847,305 new shares following the exercise of 3,671,655 preferential subscription rights and given a ratio of 3 new shares for 13 preferential subscription rights. This represents a take-up of approximately 91.5% of the offering size of 60,655,489 EUR.
The important shareholders of Leasinvest Real Estate, i.e. on the one hand Ackermans & van Haaren SA and Extensa Participations II Sàrl (which is part of the group Ackermans & van Haaren SA), and AXA Belgium SA on the other hand, have exercised all their preferential subscription rights and have consequently subscribed to new shares for an amount of 35,785,204.5 EUR in total.
The subscription period for the preferential subscription rights ended on Wednesday 19 June 2013. The 341,177 preferential subscription rights that were not exercised during this subscription period will be offered for sale in the form of scrips within the framework of an accelerated private placement that takes place on Thursday 20 June 2013 and is reserved to institutional investors in Belgium and in the European Economic Area.
Investors who buy scrips are obliged to exercise the scrips and consequently to subscribe to the (still available) new shares at the same price of 65.5 EUR per new share and in the same ratio of 3 new shares for 13 scrips as the price and the ratio that was applicable for the subscription with preferential subscription rights.
At the request of Leasinvest Real Estate SCA the trading of its shares on NYSE Euronext Brussels is today, as from opening of the markets, temporarily suspended until the private placement of the scrips on 20 June 2013 has ended. The results of the private placement of the scrips will be published, in principle today, via a press release, after which trading of the shares will be resumed.
The final results of the capital increase are expected to be published on Friday 21 June 2013 via a press release on the website of Leasinvest Real Estate SCA and via a publication in De Tijd and L'Echo.
The payment of the price for the new shares subscribed to with preferential subscription rights and with scrips, the realisation of the capital increase and the admittance to trading of the new shares on NYSE Euronext Brussels, are expected to take place on Tuesday 25 June 2013.
