RESULTS OF INITIAL PLACING, OPEN OFFER AND OFFER FOR SUBSCRIPTION
Further to the announcement on 1 February 2018, the Company is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of 94 million through the issue of 87,037,038 Ordinary Shares ("New Shares") by way of a Placing, Open Offer and Offer for Subscription (together the "Share Issue").
The Company has received valid acceptances under the Open Offer from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 33,704,513 New Shares representing approximately 73.5 per cent. of the New Shares available pursuant to the Open Offer. The Company has also received valid acceptances under the Offer for Subscription in respect of 807,711 New Shares. In addition, a total of 52,524,814 New Shares were taken up pursuant to the Placing.
Applications will be made in respect of the 87,037,038 New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Share Issue to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the New Shares will commence on 27 February 2018. When issued, the New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.
Following Admission, the Company expects to have 339,217,889 Ordinary Shares in issue. The total number of voting rights of the Company will be 339,217,889 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.
Unless otherwise defined, the terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in the prospectus published by the Company and sent to Shareholders on 1 February 2018 (the "Prospectus"), copies of which are available on the Company's website at www.targethealthcarereit.co.uk.
Malcolm Naish, Chairman of the Company, said:
"We are pleased and encouraged by the support shown from both existing shareholders and new investors for this fundraise, particularly given the background of more challenging and uncertain equity markets. The Company remains a compelling investment proposition owning as it does an attractive and modern portfolio, with a diversified tenant base paying inflation linked income with an average duration of 29 years. The proceeds of this fundraise will allow us to take advantage of the interesting investment opportunities that we have outlined to shareholders over the last few weeks."
