AD-HOC RELEASE

 

 

LEG announces the successful upsizing of its convertible bonds due 2030 through a EUR 200 million tap issue

 

Düsseldorf, November 28, 2024 - LEG Immobilien SE ("LEG" or the "Company") announces the successful placement of its tap issue of guaranteed senior unsecured convertible bonds due 2030, ISIN DE000A3L21D1, in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 200 million (the "New Bonds").

 

The New Bonds will be issued by LEG Properties B.V. (the "Issuer"), a wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary of LEG, will be guaranteed by LEG, and will be convertible into 1.75 million new and/or existing ordinary registered shares of the Company (the "Shares") initially, representing approximately 2.3% of the Company's current outstanding share capital. The pre-emptive rights of the Company's shareholders (Bezugsrechte) have been excluded.

 

The New Bonds will be issued on the same terms (save for the issue date and the issue price) as the Issuer's EUR 500 million convertible bonds issued on September 4, 2024 (the "Original Bonds") and will form a single series (Gesamtemission) with the Original Bonds (the Original Bonds and the New Bonds together, the "Bonds") from the settlement date of the New Bonds.

 

The final Issue Price of the New Bonds is 103.80664% of par. In addition, the Issuer will receive accrued interest with respect to the New Bonds for the period from and including 4 September 2024 to but excluding the settlement date of the New Bonds on the settlement date.

 

The New Bonds were offered only to institutional investors in certain jurisdictions outside the United States via private placements.

 

Settlement of the New Bonds is expected to take place on or around December 5, 2024.

 

LEG intends to arrange for the New Bonds to be included in the trading of the Original Bonds on the Open Market segment (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

 

To permit the Offering, the Joint Global Coordinators have waived, with regard to the issue of the New Bonds, the 90-day lock-up undertaking that was agreed in connection with the issuance of the Original Bonds undertaken by LEG in August 2024. As part of the offering, the Issuer and the Company have agreed to a lock-up period of 90 days, subject to customary exemptions and waiver by the Joint Global Coordinators.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the New Bonds to refinance indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

In the UK, this announcement is only directed at "qualified investors" within the meaning of the UK Prospectus Regulation who (i) are investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended) (the "Order") or (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc. (all such persons together being referred to as "Relevant Persons")). This document must not be acted on, or relied upon, by persons who are not Relevant Persons.

In member states of the European Economic Area the placement of, and invitation to submit any offer to purchase, sell or subscribe for, any securities described in this announcement is directed exclusively at persons who are "qualified investors" within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Regulation.

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Bonds have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that: (i) the target market for the New Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the New Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the New Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the New Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. The target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual or legal selling restrictions in relation to any offering of the New Bonds and/or the underlying Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any action whatsoever with respect to the New Bonds.

 

The New Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means (a) in the EEA, a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of article 4(1) of MiFID II, and (b) in the UK, a person who is one (or more) of (i) a retail client within the meaning of Regulation (EU) no 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the UK (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.

 

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") or the EU PRIIPS Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPS Regulation") for offering or selling the New Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation and/or the UK PRIIPS Regulation.

 

No action has been taken that would permit an offering or an acquisition of, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, sell or subscribe for, the securities or a distribution of this announcement in any jurisdiction where such action would be unlawful. Persons into whose possession this announcement comes are required to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.

 

This announcement does not constitute a recommendation or advice concerning the placement of, or invitation to submit any offer to purchase, sell or subscribe for, any securities. Investors should consult a professional advisor as to the suitability of the placement of, or invitation to submit any offer to purchase, sell or subscribe for, any securities for the person concerned.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "targets", "plans", "aims", "projects", "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", "would", "could" or "should" or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology.

The Joint Global Coordinators are acting exclusively for the Company and no-one else in connection with the Offering. They will not regard any other person as their respective clients in relation to the Offering and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients, nor for providing advice in relation to the Offering, the contents of this announcement or any transaction, arrangement or other matter referred to herein.
