ALPHA REAL TRUST LIMITED ("ALPHA REAL TRUST" OR THE
"COMPANY")
The Board of Alpha Real Trust notes the announcement by Hansteen
Holdings plc ("Hansteen") on 16 March 2017 regarding the level of
acceptances of its offer for the entire issued ordinary share
capital of Industrial Multi Property Trust plc ("IMPT"). As
announced on 9 March 2017, the Board of Alpha Real Trust believes
that the offer by Hansteen continues to grossly undervalue IMPT and
have resolved to reject the offer.
Given that the Board of Alpha Real Trust believes there is the
potential for serious conflicts of interest between Hansteen and
IMPT, resulting from Hansteen operating in the same commercial
property sector as IMPT, and Hansteen potentially owning a
controlling 50% or greater interest in IMPT (as set out in
Hansteen's announcement dated 15 March 2017 regarding the level of
acceptances) the Board of Alpha Real Trust announces that it has
requested an Extraordinary General Meeting of Industrial Multi
Property Trust PLC ("IMPT") to propose the following
resolutions:
1. That IMPT or its subsidiaries are prohibited from entering
into any contract or commercial arrangement with Hansteen Holdings
plc or any of its associated companies which involves a potential
conflict of interest without first obtaining the approval of
non-Hansteen shareholders.
2. That IMPT discloses regularly to shareholders details of all
matters that give rise to a conflict of interest with Hansteen or
any of its associated companies within each reporting period and
that the records of how such conflict was dealt with are available
to shareholders for inspection.
3. That IMPT's Investment Objective be amended to include "No
assets of the Company may be sold to Hansteen or any of its
associated companies without independent scrutiny and the approval
of the non-Hansteen shareholders."
