Christie & Co has advised global real estate investment manager Invesco Real Estate on the sale of the Mercure Bratislava Centrum Hotel to CPI Property Group.

CPI Property Group announced that the Group has signed disposals that will raise gross proceeds of about €700 million and net proceeds of about €550 million following repayment of associated asset-level debt.

Immofinanz has recently received takeover offers from both CPI Property Group and S Immo in the latest chapter of the Austrian takeover saga. During the last couple of years, the three major Austrian real estate companies – Immofinanz, CA Immo and S Immo – have received (and usually rejected) numerous takeover offers with mergers in almost every possible combination also having been discussed. To help its readers keep track, Property Forum has put together a timeline of all the offers that were announced since 2014.

S Immo AG announced today that a partial takeover offer shall be launched to the shareholders of Immofinanz AG. The decision to make the partial offer is made after the anticipatory mandatory takeover offer announced by CPI Property Group on 3 December 2021. S Immo does not consider the price offered in the mandatory offer attractive.

CPI Property Group has announced an anticipatory mandatory takeover offer for all outstanding shares of Immofinanz AG. Shareholders are to be offered €21.20 in cash per Immofinanz share. Immofinanz said that it will review the offer in detail and will comment on it in due course in accordance with the Austrian Takeover Act.

CPIPG and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. have agreed upon Apollo’s subscription for new shares for a total amount of €300 million. Subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, CPIPG expects that the new shares will be issued to the Apollo Funds before the end of 2021, resulting in a stake of about 5.5%.
