TPG Real Estate Partners (“TREP”), the real estate equity investment platform of alternative asset firm TPG, the global alternative asset firm with more than $108 billion of assets under management, has acquired 75% of Témpore Properties (“Témpore”), a Spanish Real Estate Investment Trust (“Socimi”) listed on Madrid’s Alternative Stock Exchange (MAB) from Sareb.
Sareb, which established Témpore in November 2017, will retain a 24.12% stake in the Socimi.
Under the terms of the agreement, TREP will pay an indicative price of 12.17 euros per share of the Socimi less the value of the next dividend payment to be approved at Témpore’s Extraordinary General Meeting, which will take place on August 5, 2019. TREP will extend its purchase offer under the same conditions to existing minority shareholders, who represent 0.88% of Témpore.
This indicative price per share puts a value on the shares of the company of 329.5 million euros, which is 10% above its market capitalization at the close of the MAB on July 4, 2019 and 17% higher than the original IPO value.
