NEW YORK & MEXICO CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Blackstone Real Estate and MRP Group, a developer, owner and operator of real estate in Mexico, today announced that a Mexican trust formed by their affiliates has extended the offer period of its all-cash tender offer of Ps.40.50 per certificate for up to 100% of the outstanding real estate trust certificates of Terrafina (BMV:TERRA 13), until 14:00 (Mexico City time) on July 26, 2024, in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
As the only announced all-cash tender offer, this transaction would provide substantial and immediate value for Terrafina’s shareholders and avoids the uncertainty regarding the potential tax consequences associated with competing exchange offers.
In accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase, if 50% plus one of the outstanding Terrafina certificates have not been validly tendered and accepted by the offer expiration date, and assuming that no material change is being made concurrently to the terms of the offering, the tender offer period is automatically extended for successive periods of one business day, unless the offeror provides notice that the automatic extension will not apply. This extension of the tender offer does not result in withdrawal rights.
Terrafina certificates may be tendered at any time until 14:00 Mexico City time, on July 26, 2024, unless the expiration date is extended in accordance with the Offer to Purchase referred to below. The settlement date is expected to be August 2, 2024, unless the expiration date is extended in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. The completion of the tender offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the acceptance by holders representing at least 50% plus one of the outstanding Terrafina certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any approved but unissued Terrafina certificates).
The all-cash tender offer represents a premium of 27% over the unaffected price per Terrafina certificate at the close of trading on December 4, 2023 and a more than 10% premium to Terrafina’s closing share price on June 7, 2024.
With a track-record of over 50 successful public company transactions, Blackstone Real Estate is well-positioned to execute this transaction. The Mexican antitrust authority, the Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica (COFECE), has unconditionally approved the tender offer. The tender offer is not subject to any financing condition and is not contingent on additional board or shareholder approvals.
Complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase as supplemented by the Supplemental Notice (Aviso de Oferta). Please see below for information on how to obtain the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Acceptance, and for who to contact with any questions regarding the tender procedures.
