VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Madison Pacific Properties Inc. (the Company) (TSX: MPC and MPC.C), a Vancouver-based real estate company, announces that it has agreed to acquire the remaining 50% interest it currently does not hold in a property located at 8155 North Fraser Way, Burnaby, BC from an operating company controlled by Madison Venture Corporation, a significant shareholder.
The property is an industrial property consisting of approximately 44,150 square feet of leasable area located on a 1.88 acre site and is currently 100% leased.
The 50% interest in the property is being acquired for a purchase price of $7.735 million. Payment for the property, subject to approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, includes the issuance of 99,928 Class B voting common shares (“Class B Shares”) and 792,046 Class C non-voting shares (“Class C Shares”) of the Company issued at $6.50 and $5.80 per Class B Share and Class C Share, respectively, and the assumption of debt on the property of approximately $2.5 million.
The property acquisition is a related party transaction under applicable securities legislation as the property is being acquired from an insider of the Company. The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of applicable securities legislation as the consideration paid is less than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The valuation for the property was determined in reference to an arm’s length third party appraisal.
The transaction is expected to close no later than September 30, 2021.
