Zurich/Cologne, 3 November 2015 - Peach Peach Property Group AG today announced
that the subscription period for the 2015/2020 bond (ISIN DE000A14KGV8) issued
by its German subsidiary Peach Property Group (Deutschland) AG will begin today,
on 3 November 2015, at 9:00 am and end, subject to early closure, at 2:00 pm on
5 November 2015. Peach Property Group aims to raise a target volume of around
EUR 50 million by way of a public offering by Peach Property Group (Deutschland)
AG in Germany and Luxembourg as well as by private placements with institutional
investors. The offering is subject to the condition that at least EUR 25 million
will be placed with investors. The final issue volume of the bond and the amount
of the coupon will be determined after the offer period has ended based on the
subscription orders received. The coupon will be determined in a bookbuilding
process and be in the range of 5.75 to 6.00 percent.
Bankhaus Lampe KG will be the Sole Lead Manager of the private placement.
The bond has a five-year term and full repayment of the principal is scheduled
for 11 November 2020. Interest will be paid annually on 11 November, first time
on 11 November 2016.
Peach Property Group AG, the Swiss ultimate parent company, will assume an
unconditional, irrevocable guarantee of EUR 1.100 for each bond. The guarantee
is limited to an aggregate amount of EUR 82,500,000.
The 2015/2020 bond will provide extensive protection rights for investors. In
addition to a negative pledge and a change of control clause, these will include
an interest rate increase and termination rights in the event that the issuer
does not meet certain obligations and key figures in relation to the bond.
Furthermore, distributions by the issuer have been capped at 50 percent of the
issuer's IFRS comprehensive income.
The anticipated proceeds from the issue will be used to refinance or repurchase
the existing 2011/2016 bond (ISIN DE000A1KQ8K4) of Peach Property Group
(Deutschland) AG. Any remaining issue proceeds shall be used for expanding the
Group's investment portfolio by adding high-yield properties primarily in the
residential sector in Germany in order to further boost current revenue through
rental income. The Group is thus driving forward its strategy of strengthening
its focus on investment properties aimed at increasing value to further solidify
current revenue. Even today, the issuer is a pure-play holder of investment
properties in Germany primarily in the core regions of North Rhine-Westphalia,
Lower Saxony and Hesse, purchasing and further optimising high-yield properties
with a high cash flow. Its acquisitions are typically portfolios of between 300
and 1,000 residential units. The property portfolio of Peach Property Group AG,
the guarantor of the bond, has a market value of CHF 335 million, with the
investment portfolio accounting for CHF 204 million.
The public offer will be made using the subscription functionality of Deutsche
Börse AG. Once the subscription period begins, investors can subscribe for the
bond starting at a EUR 1,000 face value or a multiple thereof via their
custodian bank.
The issuing prospectus has been approved by the financial supervisory authority
in Luxembourg (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier) and is available
on the Company's website atwww.peachproperty.com/anleihe2015.
