MEXICO CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FIBRA Macquarie México (FIBRA Macquarie or the Trust) (BMV: FIBRAMQ) announced today by means of the publication of a call notice (the “Call Notice”) that it will convene a new ordinary holders’ meeting (the “Meeting”) of holders of the real estate trust certificates identified with ticker “FIBRAMQ 12” (Certificados Bursátiles Fiduciarios Inmobiliarios or CBFIs), on July 8, 2024, at 11:00 am (Mexico City time) at the offices of the Common Representative located at Av. Paseo de la Reforma No. 284, Piso 9, Col. Juárez, Alcaldía Cuauhtémoc, C.P. 06600, Mexico City, to attend the matters set forth in the agenda (the “Agenda”).
As announced on April 22, 2024, FIBRA Macquarie submitted an indicative non-binding proposal in respect of a tender offer to acquire up to 100% of the real estate trust certificates (“CBFIs”) of FIBRA Terrafina. On June 17, 2024, FIBRAMQ announced a reduction in the fee structure for the management fee paid to its Manager. Additionally, given the direct efficiencies that expected to be realized from the management fee reduction, along with its conviction in the merits of the proposed transaction, FIBRAMQ increased its proposed exchange ratio.
FIBRAMQ remains confident a combination with Terrafina, which would form the largest institutional FIBRA, is a compelling value proposition to both FIBRA Macquarie and Terrafina certificate holders. The combined FIBRA would benefit from FIBRA Macquarie’s scalable, vertically integrated property administration platform, and would serve additional demand coming from the favorable tailwinds including nearshoring. Additionally, certificate holders could benefit from enhanced CBFI trading liquidity. Given the meaningful long term value creation potential, FIBRAMQ encourages its certificate holders to approve the items on the agenda.
Meeting Agenda:
I. Proposal, discussion and, if applicable, approval to carry out the combination of the portfolios of FIBRA Macquarie with the portfolios of the trust identified with the number F/00939 known as “FIBRA Terrafina”, whose trustee is CIBanco, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple (the “Combination of Portfolios”), and all acts necessary or advisable in connection with or arising from the Combination of Portfolios, including, without limitation, the launching of one or more voluntary tender and exchange offers for up to 100% of Terrafina’s real estate trust certificates (certificados bursátiles fiduciarios inmobiliarios) (the “Offers”); the payment of the consideration for such Combination of Portfolios by FIBRA Macquarie; through real estate trust certificates issued by FIBRA Macquarie; to delegate to the Manager the authority to determine the terms and conditions of each such Offers, including, without limitation, the exchange ratio applicable thereto; and to authorize the Manager to carry out all acts that may be deemed necessary or convenient to consummate the Offers, including, without limitation, to carry out the preparation, negotiation and execution of all contracts, agreements, certifications and other documents that may be deemed necessary or convenient for the implementation and consummation of the Offers, as well as the preparation, presentation and filing of all applications, authorizations, notifications and permits, if any, required to carry out the Offers before any governmental authority or autonomous body, including, without limitation, before the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores), the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V.), the Mexican Economic Competition Commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica), the S.D.
