Sept. 10
(BusinessDesk) - Property For Industry, the listed
industrial landlord, has gone into a trading halt ahead of
announcing the details of its bookbuild following its $49.5
million rights offer.
The Auckland-based property
investor announced in August it would tap shareholders via a
one-for-12 rights offer, at $1.44 per share and fully
underwritten by Forsyth Barr. The company has secured $86
million in acquisitions and development activity, and will
use the cash to fund that.
Property For Industry
merged with Direct Property Fund to create an $800 million
industrial property empire in 2013.
In August the company reported profit rose to $36.4 million in the six months ended June 30, from $14.4 million a year earlier. Operating revenue was little changed at $32.1 million, with the bulk of the bottom line gain coming from a $25.6 million fair value gain on investment properties.
The shares last
traded at $1.515 and have gained 14 percent over the past
year.
