Successful tender offer on Student Properties Spain – HUBR
Closing of Malaga transaction with Amro
Successful tender offer Student Properties Spain
Following the previous press release on 12 July 20211, in which Xior Student Housing NV (“Xior”) announced the launch of a public tender offer on all shares of Student Properties Spain SOCIMI, S.A. (“SPS”), Xior is pleased to announce that this tender offer was successful.
According to the final results, Xior now has control over approx. 99.99% of all issued and outstanding shares of SPS. Xior will be the principal shareholder of Student Properties Spain and the company will remain listed on the BME and retain its Socimi status. Completion and settlement of the offer has taken place today.
SPS portfolio
The SPS portfolio consists of three top tier assets which represent more than 725 beds situated at prime locations in some of the most popular student cities in Spain: Madrid, Seville and Malaga (the latter to be delivered in Q3 2021). For more details on the assets, see our previous press release.
All three residences are operated under the HUBR brand, which will now join forces with the Xior team. For more information on the HUBR operational platform see the HUBR website.
Closing of Malaga acquisition from Amro Real Estate Partners
Xior can also report that the previously announced agreement2 to acquire a new student residence in Malaga’s Teatinos district (229 rooms) from developer Amro Real Estate Partners has been successfully completed. The residence has been delivered on schedule and Xior has a triple net lease agreement with current operator Amro Estudiantes during the initial two years. In one fell swoop, along with the HUBR Malaga asset (also located in the Teatinos district), Xior will now operate 450 rooms spread over two residences in this vibrant and upcoming student city with over 35,000 students. Thanks to these two complementary assets, Xior builds scale and also diversifies her offer in the city of Malaga.
Bastiaan Grijpink, Country Manager Iberia: “We are proud of the Xior team for successfully bringing our first public takeover across the finish line. It is great to see that we have built an organization that is capable of completing large portfolio acquisitions in an efficient and professional manner. The newly acquired residences fit perfectly in our strategy in terms of size, location and quality. The total number of rooms operated under the Xior flag in Spain will now increase from 1,700 to 2,400 rooms, which allows us to benefit from growing economies of scale. Finally, this transaction allows us to bring aboard the HUBR team. They have done a wonderful job and we look forward to welcoming them to the Xior family.”
