Back in mid-May, The Property Tribune reported on the Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (ASX: CLW) acquisition of four government occupied properties.
To fund the acquisition, CLW was to raise $250 million through a fully underwritten 1-for-10.68 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer, at $4.65 per security.
CLW’s largest shareholder, Charter Hall Group, will commit to $29 million in equity-raising.
Charter Hall then successfully raised the first portion through an institutional placement for $169 million on 19 May, and opened the retail component on 24 May, closing Wednesday this week.
Today
Charter Hall Long WALE REIT today announced that the company had successfully completed the retail entitlement offer.
The raising effort brought in the desired and remaining $81 million.
“Eligible retail security holders took up approximately $51 million, representing a participation rate of approximately 63%. The remaining approximately $30 million will be allocated to various institutional investors who sub-underwrote the Retail Entitlement Offer.”
