AIP Realty Trust Unveils Preferred Unit Offer and Strategic Update
AIP Realty Trust Introduces Non-Brokered Offering of Preferred Units
AIP Realty Trust, a prominent name in real estate investment, is making significant strides with its latest offering. The Trust is excited to announce a non-brokered private placement where it aims to issue up to 14 million Series B Convertible Preferred Units at a price of US$0.50 each. This initiative is expected to raise up to US$7 million in gross proceeds to support the Trust’s evolving business landscape.
Key Features of the Preferred Units
The Preferred Units come with notable rights and privileges as outlined in the Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust. Each holder will have the privilege to receive notices and attend meetings of the Trust’s unitholders, in addition to voting rights. They will benefit from a proportionate stake in allocations and advances, in preference to regular units. Furthermore, these Preferred Units are convertible into standard units at no extra cost, providing flexibility to investors.
Strategic Use of Net Proceeds
The funds raised from this offering will primarily be channeled towards the costs related to the AllTrades Transaction. This business combination focuses on acquiring AllTrades Industrial Properties, enhancing AIP's portfolio within the light industrial sector. The financial support helps cover audit fees, legal costs, and other essential expenditures to ensure a smooth transition and operational efficiency.
Approval and Finder’s Fees
Completion of this financing is subject to the necessary approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange. This ensures that all regulatory requirements are adhered to. Additionally, the Trust has the option to pay finder’s fees on a portion of the raised capital, complying with TSXV policies and securities legislation.
AllTrades Transaction Progress Update
AIP Realty Trust is also keen to keep its stakeholders informed about the AllTrades Transaction. As previously revealed, the Trust is set to acquire AllTrades’ outstanding membership interests through its subsidiary, AIP OP, LP. To facilitate this purchase, AIP Realty Trust is planning a brokered private placement aimed at raising up to $100 million. The capital will primarily finance the acquisition costs of six completed AllTrades Industrial Business Suites.
Negotiations are currently underway with several leading banks to finalize the engagement for the concurrent financing. This essential step brings AIP Realty nearer to securing the financing plan necessary to advance their vision within the market.
Management Commentary
Leslie Wulf, the Executive Chairman of AIP Realty Trust, expressed enthusiasm regarding the positive momentum surrounding this transformative transaction. The overwhelming interest from financial institutions underscores the Trust’s potential for growth and success in completing its objectives. The management team remains dedicated to keeping stakeholders updated as progress continues in this venture.
