► Higher exchange ratio of 1.185x, driven by lower market cap-based management fees, subject to completion of the acquisition of Terrafina
MEXICO CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FIBRA Macquarie México (FIBRA Macquarie) (BMV: FIBRAMQ) today announced it has increased its exchange ratio under its tender and exchange offer (the “Offer”) for up to 100% of the certificados bursátiles fiduciarios inmobiliarios (“CBFIs”) of Irrevocable Trust Agreement number F/00939, also known as “Terrafina” (BMV: TERRA13). FIBRAMQ is pleased to present an increased exchange ratio of 1.185x FIBRAMQ CBFIs for each Terrafina CBFI, up from the prior exchange ratio of 1.125x. Additionally, FIBRA Macquarie announced a further reduction in the management fees paid to its Manager, subject to the completion of an acquisition of FIBRA Terrafina, or any other merger with, or acquisition of, a listed FIBRA or other company by FIBRA Macquarie in the future.
“We remain confident that this revised exchange ratio positions FIBRA Macquarie with the superior offer in the market that provides a highly competitive tender price, earnings accretion, attractive upside and long-term value creation and growth potential for all stakeholders,” said Simon Hanna, FIBRA Macquarie’s chief executive officer. “Given our conviction in the merits of our proposed transaction, we have increased our exchange ratio. With this update, FIBRA Macquarie is able to drive incremental synergies from the base management fee reduction that translate into a revised exchange ratio.”
FIBRA Macquarie continues to believe that a combination with FIBRA Terrafina offers an attractive, differentiated, and compelling value proposition to both FIBRA Macquarie and Terrafina certificate holders and is implementing these changes to further enhance its proposal.
Benefits of FIBRAMQ’s proposal include the following:
- FIBRAMQ’s implied offer price, considering market closing prices as of July 19, 2024, is equivalent to Ps. 39.05, resulting in FIBRA Macquarie having a higher implied offer price than other active tender offers providing consideration in CBFIs;
- The only offer to provide AFFO per certificate accretion to Terrafina investors on a pre-synergy basis, distinct from other active tender offers which would result in meaningful AFFO per certificate dilution;
- Superior investor-aligned management fees;
- FIBRAMQ is an institutionalized vehicle with no sponsor control group;
- The combined vehicle is expected to benefit from a larger publicly traded float, enhancing trading liquidity; and
- Significant embedded value creation opportunities by leveraging the internal operating and development capabilities of FIBRAMQ.
FIBRA Macquarie reminds Terrafina investors that, pursuant to the offering documents for FIBRA Prologis’ offer, any certificate holder who has already tendered its Terrafina CBFIs in connection with FIBRA Prologis’ offer has the right to withdraw such tendered Terrafina CBFIs in the event a third party makes a competing offer being presented with better terms or other relevant amendments to FIBRA Prologis’ offer. Any withdrawal can be made by a holder that had already tendered its certificates by instructing their broker dealer or custodian to make such withdrawal prior to the expiration of such FIBRA Prologis’ tender offer.
Conditional Management Fee Update
Following the closing of the acquisition of FIBRA Terrafina, or any other merger with, or acquisition of, a listed FIBRA or other company by FIBRA Macquarie in the future, the management fee paid to the Manager would be 75 basis points per annum on market capitalization, a 25% reduction on the existing management fee. FIBRA Macquarie prioritizes best-in-class corporate governance with a fee structure calculated based on market capitalization, the only FIBRA of its kind to do so in Mexico.
Updated Tender and Exchange Offer for Terrafina CBFIs
FIBRAMQ is updating its tender and exchange offer for up to 100% of the outstanding Terrafina CBFIs, at an exchange ratio of 1.185x FIBRAMQ CBFIs for each Terrafina CBFI, through the subscription and reciprocal delivery of up to 915,389,695 outstanding CBFIs issued by FIBRA Macquarie with ticker symbol “FIBRAMQ12” (the “Exchange CBFIs”), which, assuming 100% acceptance of the Offer, represent approximately 115% of the FIBRAMQ CBFIs that are currently outstanding.
