Shareholders in DNZ Property Fund have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a capital raising plan that will see the property investor list on the NZX next month.
Some 98% of shareholders agreed to the bid to raise as much as $45 million through a pro-rata share issue to existing investors, followed by a bookbuild for new parties. DNZ terminated its controversial management contract with Paul Duffy, who is now chief executive, and Alastair Hassell earlier this month at a cost of $35 million, and brought it in-house.
“Our next move is to get the offer documents to market shortly, with a view to listing by mid-August,” chairman Tim Storey told BusinessDesk.
The float will be the first on the NZX this year, and only the second in the past three years. DNZ aborted a listing last year after shareholder MMG Advisory rallied investors to block the bid, and forced a meeting that elected MMG’s David van Schaardenburg.
As at March 31, DNZ owned 58 properties with a portfolio value of about $700.1 million.
