/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
TORONTO, June 26th, 2012 /CNW/ - C2C Industrial Properties Inc.
(the "Company" or "C2C") (CCH: TSX-V), announce today that it
proposes to issue up to 4,835,200 common shares of the Company at a
price of $4.55 per common share for gross proceeds of up to
$22,000,160 (the "Offering"). The Offering is conditional on
exchange approval, with closing of such Offering anticipated to
occur on or about July 17th, 2012. The net proceeds of the
Offering will be used to repay certain short-term indebtedness
incurred in connection with C2C's recently previously announced
accretive acquisition of a portfolio of 7 multi tenant industrial
properties located in Montreal, Mississauga and Edmonton. Any
excess proceeds will be used to fund future acquisitions and for
general working capital purposes. The Offering is being
co-led by GMP Securities Inc. and Desjardins Capital Markets
Inc.
Subsequent to closing of the Offering, the Company will have
approximately 17.1 million common shares outstanding. This
acquisition will increase the number of properties from 14 to 21
and increase the total GLA from 1.4 million to approximately 2
million square feet. In addition to assisting C2C in
its mandate to be a leading consolidator of industrial properties
across Canada, the Offering should enhance the trading liquidity of
C2C's common shares.
"With the closing of the proposed accretive acquisition, we will
have established a meaningful platform in four key industrial
markets across Canada. Furthermore, the clustering of the
properties in each market provides a diverse tenant base and allows
C2C to implement and execute its previously stated value-add
strategy for our portfolio," stated Chris Ross, President of the
Company. "Over the past 12 months, we have grown the portfolio
while maintaining a conservative pay-out ratio. In addition, our
low pay-out ratio will provide us with the financial flexibility to
take advantage of value add opportunities that offer the ability to
increase both Net Asset Value per share and Adjusted Funds from
Operations per share."
The securities to be issued by C2C have not and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), or the securities laws of any state of
the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption therefrom
under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable
states.
The securities to be issued by C2C will be subject to a 4 month
hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.
