is planning to list a closed-ended investment company that holds a 拢228.9m (鈧�260m) warehouse portfolio on the UK鈥檚 international property securities exchange IPSX next month.
The manager has set up M7 Box+ REIT to acquire the portfolio of seven let and operational e-warehouse properties across the UK from the M7 Box+ II fund.
The proposed listing on IPSX is expected to allow the Jersey-based M7 Box+ II fund investors to benefit from an investment in a UK vehicle that should offer liquidity and also benefit from the advantages of the UK government鈥檚 real estate investment trust (REIT) regime. M7 will directly own 4.69% of the company鈥檚 share capital after admission.
There will be no fundraising exercise upon admission to IPSX which is expected to occur in April.
Richard Croft, executive chairman of M7, said: 鈥淭he proposed admission of M7 Box+ REIT to IPSX Wholesale further emphasises the platform鈥檚 ability to act as a capital markets alternative for property owners, being the fourth company to list on the exchange in two years.
鈥淚n this case, IPSX has allowed investors in a Jersey-based fund to onshore their investment into a new vehicle that benefits from the UK government鈥檚 tax-efficient REIT regime with shares traded on a regulated and liquid exchange.
鈥淢7 Box+ REIT, initially comprising seven let and operational assets which are immediately income producing, will invest in a geographically diversified portfolio of e-warehouse properties across the UK.鈥�
