Brookfield Property REIT Inc. Announces Preliminary Results of Substantial Issuer Bid


BROOKFIELD NEWS, March 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Property REIT Inc. ("BPR") (NASDAQ: BPR) announced today the preliminary results of its substantial issuer bid (the "Offer") to purchase for cancellation up to $95 million of shares of its Class A Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Stock"), which expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 25, 2019. 

Based on the preliminary count by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the paying agent and depositary for the Offer, a total of 8,333,603 shares of Class A Stock were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at the final purchase price of $20.30 per share, including 911,463 shares of Class A Stock that were tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer, and based on the preliminary count by the paying agent and depositary, BPR expects to take up and purchase for cancellation 4,679,802 shares of Class A Stock properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer at a purchase price of $20.30 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $95 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer. Based on this preliminary count, the 4,679,802 shares of Class A Stock to be accepted for purchase in the Offer represent approximately 4.54% of BPR's issued and outstanding shares of Class A Stock as at March 22, 2019. Based on these preliminary numbers, BPR anticipates that, following settlement of the Offer, it will have approximately 98,422,572 shares of Class A Stock outstanding.

Due to the oversubscription of the tender offer, based on the preliminary count described above, BPR will accept for purchase on a pro rata basis approximately 56.2% of the shares of Class A Stock properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at the purchase price of $20.30 per share by each tendering stockholder (other than "odd lot" holders, whose shares of Class A Stock will be purchased on a priority basis).

The number of shares of Class A Stock to be purchased, the purchase price and proration information are preliminary and subject to change. The preliminary information contained in this press release is subject to confirmation by the paying agent and depositary and is based on the assumption that all shares of Class A Stock tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery will be delivered within two business days after the date of receipt by the depositary of the notice of guaranteed delivery. The final number of shares of Class A Stock to be purchased, the final purchase price information and the final proration will be announced following completion of the confirmation process. Payment for the shares of Class A Stock accepted for purchase under the Offer will occur promptly thereafter, in accordance with applicable law. 

Under its separate substantial issuer bid, Brookfield Property Partners L.P. expects to accept for purchase 14,178,607 units at a purchase price of $21.00 per unit, for an aggregate cost of approximately $298 million. 

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of Class A Stock.
