FIBRA Prologis Reminds Terrafina holders of July 22, 2024 Tender Offer Expiration Date
MEXICO CITY (July 19, 2024) - FIBRA Prologis (BMV: FIBRAPL 14), a leading owner and operator of Class A industrial real estate in Mexico, reminds investors that its tender offer and reciprocal subscription for up to 100% of Terrafina's CBFIs (the “Offer”) will expire at 23:59:59 Mexico City time on July 22, 2024 (the “Expiration Date”) and reiterates that its Offer has no conditions outstanding beyond the requirement that Terrafina holders tender 50% plus one or more of the outstanding Terrafina CBFIs.
Under the terms of the Offer, each Terrafina holder has the option to tender their Terrafina CBFIs for FIBRA Prologis CBFIs at either an exchange ratio of 0.63 FIBRA Prologis CBFIs for each Terrafina CBFI, or for cash at a price of MXN$45 pesos per Terrafina CBFI; provided, that the total amount in cash being offered by FIBRA Prologis is MXN$3,538,180,283, which is the equivalent of 10% of the total amount of the offering (the “Maximum Offered Cash Amount”). Should Terrafina holders on aggregate elect to tender their Terrafina CBFIs for cash in excess of the Maximum Offered Cash Amount, those Terrafina holders electing cash will be ratably scaled back and receive the Maximum Offered Cash Amount on a pro rata basis. The balance of their bid would be paid in FIBRA Prologis CBFIs at the exchange ratio described above. For the avoidance of doubt, those Terrafina holders electing FIBRA Prologis CBFIs will receive their consideration entirely in FIBRA Prologis CBFIs consistent with their election.
No assurances can be made that FIBRA Prologis will extend the Offer period beyond the Expiration Date (unless it is legally required to do so) or that FIBRA Prologis will conduct any subsequent tender offers on terms as favorable as the current Offer once it has expired. Furthermore, it should be noted that residual or stub Terrafina CBFI holders left behind will likely be unable to participate in another tender offer from any third party beyond FIBRA Prologis or its affiliates upon the successful closing of the Offer. FIBRA Prologis also cautions investors of the limited liquidity that may persist in Terrafina CBFIs after the Expiration Date, assuming the success of its Offer.
FIBRA Prologis continues to highlight the benefits for Terrafina holders to elect FIBRA Prologis CBFIs and participate in the potential value upside of the combined entity. FIBRA Prologis represents one of the longest-running public real estate vehicles in Mexico and has demonstrated an important commitment to investors in contrast to others who have either left the market for outside-Mexico exchanges or would take their portfolios private, depriving the market of investment opportunity into a vital real estate sector.
FIBRA Prologis has been transparent in its intentions since initiating this process in February, 2024 and responsive to the inquiries, concerns and suggestions of all holders. This includes clarification of tax matters, inclusion of a cash option and upward-revision of our offer price. The table below demonstrates a range of values that would be achieved by tendering holders based upon recently observed market trading prices reinforcing the potential upside upon tendering for FIBRA Prologis CBFIs. This context is important and required as a comparison to cash offers as such conversion into FIBRA Prologis CFBIs is not a liquidity event and share prices float each day.
