INITIAL VENDOR PLACING OF R989 MILLION THROUGH THE ISSUE OF 75.4 MILLION
NEW GROWTHPOINT LINKED UNITS
Growthpoint linked unitholders are referred to the announcements released
on the Securities Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited on 18 May 2009
,25 June 2009 and 30 July 2009 relating to the proposed acquisition by
Growthpoint of a controlling interest in Growthpoint Properties Australia
("GOZ"), previously known as Orchard Industrial Property Fund Limited
("Proposed Acquisition").
Growthpoint has successfully completed a vendor placing of 75 424 817 new
Growthpoint linked units ("Initial Vendor Placing Linked Units") thereby
raising approximately R989 million at a weighted average price of 1311
cents per Growthpoint linked unit in terms of the Proposed Acquisition.
The vendor placing was 2.3 times oversubscribed with applications being
received for approximately R2.3 billion.
The R989 million placed represents Growthpoint`s minimum investment
commitment in terms of the Proposed Acquisition. Depending on the take up
by GOZ minority shareholders in the GOZ rights issue which is fully
underwritten by Growthpoint and closes on Wednesday, 16 September 2009,
Growthpoint may be required to invest up to a further R310 million to
achieve its agreed minimum shareholding of 60% in GOZ ("Top Up
Consideration"). If Growthpoint is required to invest an additional amount
in terms of the Top Up Consideration, Growthpoint will be entitled to
increase the vendor placement by a further maximum amount of R310 million
and it is Growthpoint`s intention to issue additional linked units in
terms of such increased vendor placement at 1300 cents per Growthpoint
linked unit.
The Initial Vendor Placing Linked Units as well as any units issued in
terms of increased vendor placement will be allotted, issued and listed on
Monday 21 September 2009.
