RNS Number : 4609M  LondonMetric Property PLC  11 June 2025

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN, INTO OR FROM THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE

SUCH JURISDICTION.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

11 June 2025

 

Disclosure under Rule 2.10(c) of the Takeover Code in respect of the

 

RECOMMENDED CASH AND SHARE ACQUISITION OF

 

URBAN LOGISTICS REIT PLC ("URBAN LOGISTICS")

 

BY

 

LONDONMETRIC PROPERTY PLC ("LONDONMETRIC")

 

 

Update on irrevocable undertakings given by North Atlantic Smaller Companies
Investment Trust PLC ("NASCIT")

 

On 9 May 2025, the boards of directors of LondonMetric and Urban Logistics
made an announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code (the
"Announcement") of a recommended cash and share offer pursuant to which
LondonMetric will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share
capital of Urban Logistics (the "Acquisition" forming the "Combined Group").
The Acquisition is being effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under
Part 26 of the Companies Act.

 

As set out in Appendix 3 of the Announcement, LondonMetric received an
irrevocable undertaking to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting,
and in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting (or, in
the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, to
accept or procure acceptance of the Takeover Offer), from NASCIT in respect of
a total of 7,500,000 Urban Logistics Shares, representing, in aggregate,
approximately 1.61 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of Urban
Logistics as at 8 May 2025.

 

On 6 June 2025, Harwood Capital Management Limited ("Harwood") acting on
behalf of NASCIT, announced that it had sold a total of 1,000,000 Urban
Logistics Shares subject to the irrevocable undertaking. Further to this,
Harwood announced on 9 June 2025 that it had sold a further 600,000 Urban
Logistics shares, subject to the irrevocable undertaking. On 10 June, Harwood
announced that it had sold 2,900,000 Urban Logistics Shares subject to the
irrevocable undertaking. Further to this, Harwood announced on 11 June that it
had sold another 3,000,000 Urban Logisitcs Shares subject to the irrevocable
undertaking. As a result of these sales of Urban Logistics Shares, the
irrevocable undertaking received by LondonMetric from NASCIT does not, as at
the date of this announcement, apply to any Urban Logisitcs Shares.

 

Therefore, the total number of Urban Logistics Shares which remain subject to
irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting,
and in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting (or, in
the event that the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, to
accept or procure acceptance of the Takeover Offer) is 21,465,822,
representing approximately 4.62% of the issued ordinary share capital of Urban
Logistics as at the date of this announcement.

 

This announcement is made under Rule 2.10 of the Takeover Code. All
capitalised term terms used (but not defined) above have the same meaning
given to them in the Announcement.

Important Notices

 

This Announcement is not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or
in part, directly or indirectly in, into or from the United States or any
other jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant
laws or regulations of such jurisdiction.

 

This Announcement is for information purposes only and is not intended to and
does not constitute, or form part of, an offer to sell or an invitation to
purchase any securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy, otherwise
acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of any securities pursuant
to the Acquisition or otherwise, nor shall there be any purchase, sale,
issuance, transfer or exchange of securities or such solicitation pursuant to
the Acquisition or otherwise in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
invitation, solicitation, purchase, sale, issuance or exchange is unlawful.
The Acquisition will be made solely by means of the Scheme Document (or, if
the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer, any document by
which the Takeover Offer is made) and the accompanying Forms of Proxy (or
forms of acceptance, if applicable), which contain the full terms and
conditions of the Acquisition, including details of how to vote in respect of
the resolutions proposed in connection with the Acquisition. Any vote,
approval, decision in respect of, or other response to, the Acquisition should
be made only on the basis of the information contained in the Scheme Document
(or any other document by which the Acquisition is made by way of a Takeover
Offer). Urban Logistics Shareholders should not make any investment decision
in relation to the Acquisition or New LondonMetric Shares except on the basis
of the Scheme Document (or any other document by which the Acquisition is made
by way of a Takeover Offer).

 

The statements contained in this Announcement are made as at the date of this
Announcement and unless some other time is specified in relation to them, the
release of this Announcement shall not give rise to any implication that there
has been no change in the facts set out in this Announcement since such date.

 

This Announcement does not constitute a prospectus or prospectus equivalent
document.

 

No person should construe the contents of this Announcement as legal,
financial or tax advice. If you are in any doubt about the contents of this
Announcement or the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your
own independent financial advice immediately from your stockbroker, bank
manager, solicitor, accountant or from an independent financial adviser duly
authorised under FSMA.

 

Overseas Shareholders

 

This Announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English
law, the Takeover Code, the Market Abuse Regulation, the Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rules, and the UK Listing Rules and the information disclosed
may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this
Announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions
outside the United Kingdom. Nothing in this Announcement should be relied on
for any other purpose.

 

The availability of the New LondonMetric Shares (and the ability of persons to
hold such shares) in, and the release, publication or distribution of this
Announcement in or into, certain jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom
may be restricted by the laws and/or regulations of those jurisdictions.
Persons into whose possession this Announcement comes who are not resident in
the United Kingdom, or who are subject to the laws and/or regulations of any
jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom, should inform themselves of, and
observe, any such applicable laws and/or regulations in their jurisdiction. In
particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom
or who are subject to the laws of another jurisdiction to participate in the
Acquisition or to vote their Scheme Shares in respect of the Scheme at the
Court Meeting, or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Court
Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant
jurisdictions in which they are located or to which they are subject. Any
failure to comply with the applicable requirements may constitute a violation
of the laws and/or regulations of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the
Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such
restrictions by any person.

 

Unless otherwise determined by LondonMetric or required by the Takeover Code
and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be
made, and the New LondonMetric Shares to be issued pursuant to the Acquisition
will not be made, available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a
Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that
jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Scheme by any such use,
means, instrumentality or form from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any
other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of
that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this Announcement and all
documentation relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be,
directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in,
into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws
in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving this Announcement and all
documents relating to the Acquisition (including custodians, nominees and
trustees) must not mail or otherwise distribute or send them in, into or from
such jurisdictions where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction.

 

If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer (unless otherwise
permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Takeover Offer may not be
made, directly or indirectly, in or into or by use of the mails or any other
means or instrumentality (including, without limitation, facsimile, e-mail or
other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign
commerce of, or any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange
of, any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Takeover Offer will not be capable of
acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities or from
within any Restricted Jurisdiction.

 

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders are contained in the
Scheme Document.

 

Additional information for US investors

 

Urban Logistics Shareholders located in the United States should note that the
Acquisition relates to the securities of an English company with a listing on
the London Stock Exchange and is proposed to be implemented pursuant to a
scheme of arrangement provided for under English law. A transaction effected
by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules
or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the
Scheme is subject to procedural and disclosure requirements and practices
applicable to a scheme of arrangement involving a target company in England
listed on the London Stock Exchange, which are different from the disclosure
requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules.

 

The Acquisition may, in circumstances provided for in this Announcement,
instead be carried out by way of a Takeover Offer under English law. If in the
future LondonMetric exercises its right to implement the Acquisition by way of
a Takeover Offer, such Takeover Offer will be made in compliance with
applicable US tender offer and securities laws and regulations, including the
exemptions therefrom. Such Takeover Offer would be made in the United States
by LondonMetric and no one else. In addition to any such Takeover Offer, in
accordance with normal practice in the United Kingdom, LondonMetric, certain
affiliated companies, and their nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may
make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Urban Logistics Shares
outside the United States, other than pursuant to the Takeover Offer, until
the date on which such Takeover Offer would become effective, lapses or is
otherwise withdrawn. If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be
made, they would be made outside the United States and would comply with
applicable law, including the US Exchange Act. These purchases may occur
either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at
negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed, as
required in the United Kingdom, will be reported to a Regulatory Information
Service of the FCA and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website:
www.londonstockexchange.com/.

 

The financial information included in documentation related to the Acquisition
has been or will have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards and thus may not be comparable to financial information of
US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

The New LondonMetric Shares to be issued under the Scheme have not been and
will not be registered under the US Securities Act or under the securities
laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available
exemption from the registration requirements under the US Securities Act and
applicable US state securities laws. If LondonMetric effects the Acquisition
by way of a scheme of arrangement under English law, the New LondonMetric
Shares to be issued in the Acquisition will be issued in reliance on the
exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act provided
by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. Urban Logistics will advise the Court that the
Court's sanctioning of the Scheme will be relied upon by LondonMetric as an
approval of the scheme of arrangement following a hearing on its fairness to
Urban Logistics Shareholders, at which hearing all such Urban Logistics
Shareholders are entitled to attend in person or through counsel to support or
oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme and with respect to which notification
has been given to all Urban Logistics Shareholders.

 

The New LondonMetric Shares to be issued to Urban Logistics Shareholders in
the Acquisition pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under English law may
generally be resold without restriction under the US Securities Act, except
for resales by persons who are or will be affiliates (within the meaning of
Rule 144 under the US Securities Act). "Affiliates" of a company are
generally defined as persons who directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control
with, that company. Whether a person is an affiliate of a company for
purposes of the US Securities Act depends on the circumstances, but
affiliates can include certain officers, directors and significant
shareholders. Urban Logistics Shareholders who are or will be affiliates of
LondonMetric or Urban Logistics prior to, or of LondonMetric after, the
Effective Date will be subject to certain US transfer restrictions relating to
the New LondonMetric Shares received pursuant to the Scheme as described in
the Scheme Document. Urban Logistics Shareholders who believe that they may be
or will be affiliates for purposes of the US Securities Act should consult
their own legal advisors prior to any resale of New LondonMetric Shares
received under the Scheme.

 

None of the securities referred to in this Announcement have been approved or
disapproved by the SEC or any US state securities commission, nor have any
such authorities passed judgment upon the fairness or the merits of the
Acquisition or determined if this Announcement is accurate or complete. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

 

US holders of Urban Logistics Shares also should be aware that the transaction
contemplated herein may have tax consequences in the United States and that
such consequences, if any, are not described herein. US holders of Urban
Logistics Shares are urged to consult with independent professional advisors
regarding the legal, tax and financial consequences of the Acquisition
applicable to them.

 

It may be difficult for US holders of Urban Logistics Shares to enforce their
rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws since
LondonMetric and Urban Logistics are organised in countries other than the
United States and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents
of, and some or all of their assets may be located in, jurisdictions other
than the United States. US holders of Urban Logistics Shares may have
difficulty effecting service of process within the United States upon those
persons or recovering against judgments of US courts, including judgments
based upon the civil liability provisions of the US federal securities laws.
US holders of Urban Logistics Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company
or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities
laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its
affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment.

 

Further details in relation to US investors are contained in the Scheme
Document.

 

Forward looking statements

 

This Announcement (including information incorporated by reference into this
Announcement), any oral statements made by LondonMetric or Urban Logistics in
relation to the Acquisition and other information published by LondonMetric or
Urban Logistics may contain statements about LondonMetric, Urban Logistics
and/or the Combined Group that are or may be forward looking statements. All
statements other than statements of historical facts included in this
Announcement may be forward looking statements. Without limitation, any
statements preceded or followed by or that include the words "targets",
"plans", "goals", "believes", "expects", "aims", "intends", "will", "may",
"anticipates", "estimates", "projects", "hopes", "continues", "would",
"could", "should" or words or terms of similar substance or the negative
thereof, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements include
statements relating to the following: (i) future capital expenditures,
expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness,
financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii)
business and management strategies and the expansion and growth of
LondonMetric's or Urban Logistics' or the Combined Group's operations and
potential synergies resulting from the Acquisition; and (iii) the effects of
government regulation on LondonMetric's or Urban Logistics' or the Combined
Group's business.

 

These forward looking statements are not based on historical fact and are not
guarantees of future performance. By their nature, such forward looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect
expected results and/or the operations of LondonMetric, Urban Logistics or the
Combined Group and are based on certain assumptions and assessments made by
LondonMetric and Urban Logistics in light of their experience and their
perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and
other factors they believe appropriate.

 

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected, expressed or implied in forward looking
statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in the forward looking statements are the
satisfaction of or failure to satisfy all or any of the conditions to the
Acquisition, as well as additional factors, such as changes in the global,
political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces,
fluctuations in exchange and interest rates (including those arising from any
potential credit rating decline), changes in tax rates and future business
acquisitions or disposals, the success of business and operating initiatives
and restructuring objectives and the outcome of any litigation. Such
statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and
uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Except as expressly provided in
this Announcement, they have not been reviewed by the auditors of LondonMetric
or Urban Logistics. Neither LondonMetric or Urban Logistics, nor any of their
respective associates or directors, officers, employees or advisers, provides
any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events
expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this Announcement
will actually occur. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward looking statements,
which speak only as of the date of this Announcement. All subsequent oral or
written forward looking statements attributable to LondonMetric or Urban
Logistics or any of their respective members, directors, officers, employees
or advisers or any persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in
their entirety by the cautionary statement above. LondonMetric and Urban
Logistics disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking or other
statements contained in this Announcement, except as required by applicable
law or by the rules of any competent regulatory authority, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

No profit forecasts, estimates or quantified financial benefit statements

 

No statement in this Announcement is intended to constitute a profit forecast,
profit estimate or quantified financial benefit statements and no statement in
this Announcement should be interpreted to mean that the earnings or earnings
per share or dividend per share for LondonMetric, Urban Logistics or the
Combined Group, as appropriate, for the current or future financial periods
would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or
earnings per share or dividend per share for LondonMetric, Urban Logistics or
the Combined Group, as appropriate.

 

Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code (the "Code")

 

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of
any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which
it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash)
must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the
offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities
exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must
contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights
to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company
and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by
a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm
(London time) on the 10th Business Day following the commencement of the offer
period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th
Business Day following the announcement in which any securities exchange
offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant
securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to
the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a
Dealing Disclosure.

 

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1%
or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any
securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals
in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities
exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing
concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to
subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and
(ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details
have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person
to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London
time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant dealing.

 

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant
securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will
be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

 

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by
any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company,
by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see
Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

 

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant
securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made
can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant
securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was
first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on
+44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to
make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.

 

Right to switch to a Takeover Offer

 

LondonMetric reserves the right to elect, with the consent of the Panel, to
implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer for the entire issued and
to be issued share capital of Urban Logistics as an alternative to the Scheme.
In such an event, the Takeover Offer will be implemented on the same terms or,
if LondonMetric so decides, on such other terms being no less favourable
(subject to appropriate amendments), so far as applicable, as those which
would apply to the Scheme and subject to the amendments referred to in
paragraph 10 of Part B of Appendix 1 to this Announcement.
