Transaction highlights

  • Capital increase via Accelerated Bookbuild Offering of 31,428,572 class B shares, corresponding to c. 14% of the company’s pre-deal outstanding share capital and generating gross proceeds of SEK 1.1 billion (c. €97 million) for Swedish Logistic Property (“SLP”)
  • Upsized from SEK 1 billion to SEK 1.1 billion due to strong investor demand. The new shares were placed at SEK 35 per share at a discount of 4.9% vis-à-vis the closing price prior to transaction announcement and a 30% premium to last reported NAV
  • Launched following a market sounding exercise that resulted in indications of interest well in excess of the deal size solely from wall-crossed long-only investors
  • More than 90% of the order book, which was multiple times covered, was allocated to long-only investors and more than 60% of the shares were allocated to international investors
  • The transaction marks SLP’s largest capital increase to date
  • SLP intends to invest the proceeds in property acquisitions, new construction projects, renovations, extensions and energy-saving projects; the company expects to deploy the proceeds of the transaction in 6-9 months
  • Following the fundraising of Swedish logistics company Catena a week earlier, this transaction underpins Van Lanschot Kempen’s ability to support European Real Estate companies in successful equity capital market issuances
