31 May 2012 - 1:58AM
Business Wire
DEXUS Property Group (ASX: DXS) (“DEXUS”) today announced the
reference yield, Total Consideration and Tender Offer Consideration
for the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Offer”) by
DEXUS Funds Management Limited (ABN 24 060 920 783), in its
capacity as responsible entity of DEXUS Diversified Trust (the
“Company”), to purchase up to US$175,455,000 maximum aggregate
principal amount, which may be increased in the sole discretion of
the Company, of the outstanding 7.125% Guaranteed Senior Notes due
2014 (the “Notes”) of the Company and DEXUS Funds Management
Limited, in its capacity as responsible entity of DEXUS Office
Trust. The terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the
Company’s Offer to Purchase dated 15 May 2012 (as amended, the
“Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal, as
previously amended by the DEXUS media release dated 30 May
2012.
The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on 12
June 2012 unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and
date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). Holders
of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their
Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 29 May 2012
(the “Early Tender Deadline”), and whose Notes are accepted for
purchase will receive the Total Consideration (as described below).
Holders of Notes who tender their Notes after the Early Tender
Deadline and on or before the Expiration Date will be eligible to
receive the “Tender Offer Consideration,” which is equal to the
Total Consideration minus the early tender payment of US$30 per
US$1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the
“Early Tender Payment”).
The “Total Consideration” per each US$1,000 principal amount of
Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer was calculated by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the Dealer
Manager for the Offer, at 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on 30 May
2012, in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference
to a fixed spread over the reference yield, each as specified in
the table below, and assuming that the Payment Date (as defined
below) will occur on 13 June 2012. The Early Tender Payment is
included in the calculation of the Total Consideration and is not
in addition to the Total Consideration. Tendering holders will also
receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes up to, but
excluding, the date of payment of the consideration for Notes
accepted for purchase (the “Payment Date”). Subject to the terms
and conditions of the Offer, the Payment Date will follow promptly
after the Expiration Date.
