Beni Stabili SICAF on Telecom Italia portfolio has been granted authorization
by Bank of Italy
Milan - 25 January 2017: Bank of Italy has granted authorization to Beni
Stabili, the leading property company in the Italian real estate sector, to set
up the Italian Real Estate SICAF to which the Group will contribute all of its
Telecom Italia portfolio (EUR1,543 million, based on the appraisal values
established at the end of June 2016) along with the associated debt (EUR810
million).
Beni Stabili will keep 60% of the share capital of this new regulated
investment vehicle, while two major international investors, Crédit Agricole
Assurances, and EDF Invest, the investment division of the EDF Group, will each
acquire from Beni Stabili a 20% stake in the SICAF.
The SICAF shall be incorporated in Q1 2017.
As a reminder, this landmark transaction, of which the terms have been set up
in November 2016, confirms the appeal of Italian real estate for long-term
international investors and constitutes a key stage in the strategy initiated
by Beni Stabili at end-2015:
- Diversifying further its tenant base. Four years ahead of its 2020 goal, Beni
Stabili almost achieves its tenant diversification target with a Telecom
Italia exposure, that will be 28% of its portfolio after the SICAF operation
and provide with a good balance between prime offices and TI solid and
long-term cash-flows. When Beni Stabili announced its strategic targets with
its FY 2015 results, it had 41% of its portfolio in value rented to Telecom
Italia.
- Strengthening capital structure. After this transaction, which represents an
equivalent of around EUR620 million of Telecom Italia assets, the LTV will be
below 45% vs 50% at end-June 2016.
- Increasing its exposure in Milan, with 58% of the portfolio vs 51% at
end-June 2016 and a 80% target by 2020.
