Aventus securityholders will be offered 2.200 HDN units for every 1 unit in Aventus Retail Property Fund (93% of transaction value) and A$0.285 cash or 0.038 HMC securities for every 1 share in Aventus Holdings Limited (7% of transaction value). The implied offer price of A$3.82 per Aventus share is a 15.3% premium to the unaffected price of A$3.31 (15 October). The offer price will not be reduced for any distributions announced by Aventus, HDN and HMC prior to the implementation. Post-merger, Aventus securityholders will own 47.1% of the merged group.The scheme is conditional on AVN securityholder approval by at least 75% of the votes cast and 50% securityholders voting. Brett Blundy Retail Capital (BBRC) and the Aventus Board which represents 22.6% and 6.7% of AVN securities, respectively, intend to vote in favour of the merger. The scheme is also conditional on HDN unitholder approval by at least 50% of votes cast (HMC cannot vote). <div class="content-highlight">We think that recommended offer is attractive both in terms of historical multiples and share prices for Aventus securityholders.
