Statement regarding Tritax EuroBox PLC ("EBOX", or the "Company")

 

Brookfield Asset Management ("Brookfield"), through its private real estate
investment funds, notes the recent press speculation in relation to EBOX.
Brookfield confirms it is in the early stages of assessing a possible cash
offer for the entire issued, and to be issued, share capital of EBOX.
Accordingly, there can be no certainty that any offer for the Company will be
made nor as to the terms of any such offer.

 

In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Brookfield is now required, by no
later than 5:00 pm (London time) on 1 July 2024, to either announce a firm
intention to make an offer for the Company in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the
Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer for the Company, in
which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8
of the Code applies. This deadline may only be extended with the consent of
the Takeover Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code.

 

A further announcement will be made as appropriate.

Disclosure requirements of 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
 https://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk (https://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 Takeover 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.
