Eubelius assists Warehouses De Pauw (WDP) with an accelerated private placement of EUR 200 million

On 6 November 2019, WDP, the public regulated real estate company specialising in logistics and semi-industrial real estate in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg and Romania, raised EUR 200 million through an accelerated private placement (accelerated bookbuilding) with qualified investors of 1,250,000 new shares at an issue price of EUR 160 per new share. The realisation of this capital increase, the issue of the new shares and the admission of these new shares to trading on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam will take place on 12 November 2019 at the opening of the market.

This is the first accelerated bookbuilding of a public regulated real estate company in Belgium.

The issue price of EUR 160 per new share represents a discount of only 1% compared to the last WDP share price on 6 November 2019 (EUR 161.60).

Eubelius advised WDP on the realisation of this successful capital increase.
