Frasers Centrepoint
Frasers Centrepoint (FCL) has entered a conditional sale and purchase agreement to acquire three German-incorporated firms for €42.4 million (S$68 million), it said on Tuesday night.
FCL will acquire a 94.8 per cent interest in Logipark Moosthenning and H. Jager Ges fur Projektentwicklung von Immobilien, and 100 per cent of Simblafis.
These entities hold the freehold interest in two warehouse facilities in Bavaria, Germany, and a photovoltaic system on the roof of one of the warehouses.
The properties in Moosthenning are leased on a long-term basis to a leading German car manufacturer, which stores automotive spare parts there. They have a gross lettable area of about 72,600 sq m.
The purchase price took into account the valuation of the assets at €66.25 million as of August and the existing debt of the companies.
The acquisition will be funded from borrowings and internal resources.
