Sale of existing shares via club deal
WDP
Joint BookrunnerKempen & Co acted as Joint Bookrunner in the €61.5m sale of existing WDP shares via club deal following a contribution in kind
Transaction highlights
- On 14 September, WDP announced the acquisition of seven logistics real estate assets in Wallonia from Sedimmo for a total consideration of approximately €120m. The acquisition was financed via a phased contribution in kind, with the first phase (€68m) realized on 14 September, and will lead to a doubling of WDP’s portfolio in Wallonia in 2022
- Following that announcement, Kempen & Co sold 2,158,000 WDP shares for Sedimmo via a club deal, corresponding to c.1.1% of WDP’s market capitalization
- The shares were placed with a very selective group of primarily Real Estate specialist investors at an issue price of €28.50 per share, thereby generating proceeds of €61.5 million for Sedimmo
- The sale price represented a limited discount of 2.0% compared to the closing price of the WDP share ahead of transaction announcement, despite very volatile market circumstances on the back of global inflation and interest rate hike concerns
- Kempen & Co brought in a specialist anchor investor which took more than 40% of the deal
- More than 90% of the shares were placed with Real Estate specialist investors
