Eschborn, 19 June 2017, 08:49 CET/CEST – Today, Noratis AG, a portfolio developer of residential real estate, announced the offer details for its planned IPO in the Scale segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Open Market. The offer consists of an initial public offering in the Federal Republic of Germany and a private placement to qualified investors in certain jurisdictions outside the Federal Republic of Germany and outside the United States of America under Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The basis for the offer will be a securities prospectus that will contain detailed information about the IPO. The approval of the securities prospectus by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) is scheduled for today, June 19, 2017.
The offer comprises 2,000,000 newly issued bearer shares with no par value from a capital increase against cash contributions. The price range has been set at 18.75 Euro to 22.75 Euro per share. The public offering period starts on June 21, 2017, and is expected to end on June 27, 2017 (private investors and natural persons 3:00 pm CEST, institutional investors 5:00 pm CEST). The company plans to use the expected gross proceeds of up to 45.5 million Euro to further finance its growth by acquiring residential real estate portfolios across Germany.
As part of a greenshoe option, up to 200,000 existing shares (10 percent of the underlying transaction) from the shareholdings of the existing shareholders Norlig GmbH of the company founder Oliver C. Smits as well as SIA Hansahold can also be placed at the offer price. Each of them currently holds 33.33 percent of the share capital before the capital increase (2,000,000 shares at 1.00 each Euro). The remaining 33.33 percent of the existing shares are held by CEO Igor Christian Bugarski. If the greenshoe option is fully exercised a free float of 55 percent (2,200,000 of 4,000,000 shares) will be achieved. The company has agreed to a lock-up period of six months from the start of trading. For the ensuing six months, the sale of shares may only be effected with the prior written consent of the underwriter. The existing shareholders have agreed not to sell any of their shares for a period of twelve months.
The placement price and the final number of shares placed are expected to be announced on June 27, 2017. The listing of the shares of Noratis AG is expected to take place on June 30, 2017.
