LONDON - abrdn Property Income Trust Limited (API), a closed-ended investment company, has completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, abrdn Property Holdings Limited (APH), to an acquisition vehicle managed by GoldenTree Asset Management LP, with Farran Investments as a minority co-investor and asset manager.
The transaction involved the sale of API's entire investment property portfolio, except for its interest in the land at Far Ralia. The portfolio consisted of 39 assets, and the cash consideration for the purchase was £351 million, subject to customary adjustments, including those related to debt, net assets, and the completion process. API anticipates initial proceeds of at least £234 million after these adjustments.
API's next steps include sending a circular to shareholders early next week to seek approvals for substantial capital returns by early January 2025, likely through a redeemable bonus share scheme. The company also plans to set up the necessary arrangements to delist and enter into members' voluntary liquidation. More information on these developments will be announced in due course.
The proceeds from the sale will be held in a AAA-rated liquidity fund managed by abrdn, API's investment manager, with a portion reserved in a current account for transaction-related and ongoing operating expenses. The company is still marketing its interest in the land at Far Ralia.
