Insights

The extension of Blackstone Real Estate and MRP Group's all-cash tender offer for Terrafina is a significant development in the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector. The offer of Ps.40.50 per certificate represents a substantial 27% premium over Terrafina's unaffected price on December 4, 2023 and more than 10% premium to its closing price on June 7, 2024. This premium highlights the perceived value of Terrafina's portfolio and the potential for immediate returns for certificate holders.

The extension to July 31, 2024, provides additional time for investors to consider the offer, which could increase the likelihood of reaching the 50% plus one acceptance threshold. This strategy demonstrates Blackstone's commitment to the acquisition and confidence in its ability to close the deal. The automatic extension clause for successive one-day periods if the threshold isn't met adds flexibility to the offer structure.

Notably, the offer's all-cash nature eliminates potential tax complications associated with competing exchange offers, which could be a significant advantage for investors seeking clean exits. The unconditional approval from COFECE and the absence of financing conditions or additional approvals reduce execution risk, potentially making the offer more attractive to risk-averse investors.

Blackstone's track record of over 50 successful public company transactions adds credibility to their ability to execute this deal effectively. This experience could be a key factor in investor decision-making, especially for those concerned about deal certainty.

Overall, this extension and the terms of the offer indicate a strong strategic move by Blackstone and MRP Group to consolidate their position in the Mexican real estate market, potentially reshaping the landscape of industrial REITs in the region.

The extended tender offer for Terrafina by Blackstone Real Estate and MRP Group signals a significant shift in the Mexican industrial real estate market. Terrafina, with its portfolio of industrial properties, represents a strategic asset in a sector that has shown resilience and growth potential, particularly in light of nearshoring trends benefiting Mexico.

The Ps.40.50 per certificate offer price suggests that Blackstone and MRP see substantial untapped value in Terrafina's assets. This valuation could be driven by several factors: anticipated growth in demand for industrial space due to supply chain reconfigurations, potential for operational efficiencies under new management, or synergies with existing portfolios.

The involvement of MRP Group, a local player with deep market knowledge, alongside Blackstone's global expertise and capital, creates a powerful combination. This partnership could lead to enhanced property management, potential redevelopment opportunities and improved tenant relationships, potentially driving higher returns from the portfolio.

The all-cash nature of the deal is particularly noteworthy in the current economic climate. With rising interest rates and economic uncertainties, cash offers provide certainty and immediate liquidity, which can be especially attractive to investors. This could give Blackstone and MRP an edge over competing bids that might involve stock exchanges or more complex structures.

If successful, this acquisition could have ripple effects across the Mexican REIT market, potentially triggering further consolidation or revaluation of similar assets. It may also attract more international investment into the sector, as Blackstone's move could be seen as a vote of confidence in the long-term prospects of Mexican industrial real estate.

NEW YORK & MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blackstone Real Estate and MRP Group, a developer, owner and operator of real estate in Mexico, today announced that a Mexican trust formed by their affiliates has extended the offer period of its all-cash tender offer of Ps.40.50 per certificate for up to 100% of the outstanding real estate trust certificates of Terrafina (BMV:TERRA 13), until 14:00 (Mexico City time) on July 31, 2024, in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.

As the only announced all-cash tender offer, this transaction would provide substantial and immediate value for Terrafina’s shareholders and avoids the uncertainty regarding the potential tax consequences associated with competing exchange offers.

In accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase, if 50% plus one of the outstanding Terrafina certificates have not been validly tendered and accepted by the offer expiration date, and assuming that no material change is being made concurrently to the terms of the offering, the tender offer period is automatically extended for successive periods of one business day, unless the offeror provides notice that the automatic extension will not apply. This extension of the tender offer does not result in withdrawal rights.

Terrafina certificates may be tendered at any time until 14:00 Mexico City time, on July 31, 2024, unless the expiration date is extended in accordance with the Offer to Purchase referred to below. The settlement date is expected to be August 7, 2024, unless the expiration date is extended in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. The completion of the tender offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the acceptance by holders representing at least 50% plus one of the outstanding Terrafina certificates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any approved but unissued Terrafina certificates).

The all-cash tender offer represents a premium of 27% over the unaffected price per Terrafina certificate at the close of trading on December 4, 2023 and a more than 10% premium to Terrafina’s closing share price on June 7, 2024.

With a track-record of over 50 successful public company transactions, Blackstone Real Estate is well-positioned to execute this transaction. The Mexican antitrust authority, the Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica (COFECE), has unconditionally approved the tender offer. The tender offer is not subject to any financing condition and is not contingent on additional board or shareholder approvals.

Complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase as supplemented by the Supplemental Notice (Aviso de Oferta). Please see below for information on how to obtain the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Acceptance, and for who to contact with any questions regarding the tender procedures.
