GIC increases its ownership in Dexus Australian Logistics Trust

Dexus announces that on 23 December 2019 the second tranche rights were exercised for GIC to acquire an additional 24% interest in the Dexus Australian Logistics Trust (“DALT”) core portfolio1, increasing GIC’s total investment in DALT to 49%.

The establishment of DALT was previously announced to the Australian Securities Exchange on 26 November 2018. DALT is an open-ended unlisted trust with an active acquisition and development mandate, seeded with assets from Dexus’s existing industrial portfolio and a development landbank. The additional investment is priced at $366.1 million2, consistent with the estimated 31 December 2019 independent valuations across the core portfolio.

Settlement is expected to occur on 1 April 2020, with proceeds from the sale initially being used to reduce debt and provide capacity for future funding commitments, including Dexus’s development pipeline.
