Chambers Street Properties and Gramercy Property Trust to Merge, Creating a Premier Net Lease REIT (7/01/15)

Gordon DuGan to be CEO; Charles Black to be Non-Executive Chairman

Combined Company Will Have Enterprise Value of $5.7 Billion, Creating Larger, More Diversified Portfolio with Increased Financial Strength

Well Positioned for Value Creation through Continued Growth in Earnings

Transaction Expected to Generate $15 Million of Estimated Annual Gross G&A Savings

PRINCETON, NJ. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chambers Street Properties (NYSE:CSG) (“Chambers Street”) and Gramercy Property Trust Inc. (NYSE:GPT) (“Gramercy”) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to merge, creating the largest industrial and office net lease real estate investment trust, with an expected enterprise value of approximately $5.7 billion. The Board of Trustees of Chambers Street and the Board of Directors of Gramercy have unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transaction.

Under the terms of the agreement, Gramercy shareholders will receive 3.1898 shares of Chambers Street for each share of Gramercy common stock they own. Upon closing, Chambers Street shareholders will own approximately 56% and Gramercy shareholders will own approximately 44% of the combined company. The stock-for-stock transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders.

The combination brings together two complementary portfolios focused on industrial and office real estate, comprising 288 properties and 52 million square feet in major markets throughout the U.S. and Europe. The combined company is expected to have larger size and scale, broader tenant diversification, increased financial flexibility, and a more efficient operating platform to drive growth. The Gramercy management team will lead the combined company, with Gordon F. DuGan as Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin P. Harris as President and Jon W. Clark as Chief Financial Officer. Martin A. Reid, Chambers Street’s Interim President and Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, will be Head of Transition of the combined company.

The combined company will have a ten-person board consisting of five trustees designated by Chambers Street and five trustees designated by Gramercy. Charles E. Black, currently chairman of the Chambers Street Board, will be the non-executive board chairman and Mr. DuGan will also serve as a director of the combined company. The combined company will retain the Gramercy name and is expected to continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under Gramercy’s current ticker symbol. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the transaction by shareholders of both companies.

Mr. Black stated, “We’re thrilled to combine with Gramercy to create an industry leader well positioned for long-term growth. We believe the Gramercy management team has an unparalleled track record of value creation, exceptional operating expertise and deep experience repositioning, releasing and optimizing asset portfolios. Since Gordon became CEO of Gramercy, he and his team have delivered total shareholder return of more than 140%, making Gramercy the top-performing U.S. REIT over that time period. We are pleased to have the opportunity to combine two complementary portfolios and join with the Gramercy management team whom we are confident will continue to drive market-leading returns for shareholders.”

Mr. DuGan, CEO of Gramercy stated, “This strategic combination is the next logical step for Gramercy in creating a best-in-class net lease REIT. We expect that combining with Chambers Street will create a market leader with greater scale, broader tenant and geographic diversification across the United States and Europe, and additional financial flexibility. With a larger and more diverse platform, we believe the new Gramercy will be better positioned to pursue larger acquisition opportunities, which we anticipate going forward.”

The merger of Chambers Street and Gramercy is expected to create a number of significant operational and financial benefits, including:

• GREATER SIZE AND SCALE. The combined company will create a leading industrial and office net lease REIT with 288 properties and 52 million of square feet focused in major markets throughout the U.S. and Europe. The combined company’s greater scale, financial flexibility and portfolio diversification are expected to enhance its ability to pursue larger opportunities, improve future earnings predictability and increase its flexibility to recycle capital over time.

• INCREASED PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFICATION; HIGH-QUALITY TENANT BASE. The top ten tenants of the combined company will represent less than 30% of total annualized base rent with no one tenant representing more than 7.5%. Eighty-five percent of the combined company’s real estate assets will be in target markets, such as New York/New Jersey, Dallas, Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and South Florida. The combined portfolio will have an average lease term of more than seven years and 43% of its tenants will be investment grade.

• INCREASED FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY. As a larger entity, the combined company is expected to have greater and more cost-effective access to capital, a stronger balance sheet, a better ability to absorb market cycles and a stronger and more predictable earnings and dividend growth trajectory. Additionally, the combined company will have a higher unencumbered asset base, giving it enhanced flexibility to sell assets and reposition portions of the portfolio with minimal prepayment expense.

• MORE EFFICIENT OPERATING PLATFORM AND COST SAVINGS. With a greatly expanded asset base and operating platform and minimal additional administrative expenses, the combined company will be significantly more efficient compared to its asset base. The combination is expected to realize approximately $15 million in run-rate annual cost synergies by the end of 2016.

• SEASONED AND PROVEN LEADERSHIP TEAM WITH STRONG TRACK RECORD OF GROWTH AND COMMITMENT TO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. Gramercy’s industry-leading total shareholder returns include a dividend that has grown approximately 43% since it was reinstated in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, Gramercy’s Core FFO per share grew 126% year-over-year from the first quarter of 2014 through the first quarter of 2015. Gramercy’s management team is also committed to high corporate governance standards and has waived their change of control provisions in order to maintain their long term incentive plans, which align their interests with shareholders.

Each company intends to continue its current dividend policy until the close of the transaction. Following the close of the transaction, the new company expects its dividend payout ratio to be lower than the current Chambers Street payout ratio and higher than the current Gramercy payout ratio.

Following the close of the transaction, the combined company also intends to pursue the disposition of certain suburban office properties in order to reduce the level of these holdings to approximately 25% of its total portfolio over the long term, in line with Gramercy’s stated targets. In addition, the combined company expects to continue to be an active acquirer of single-tenant net leases and properties. It also intends to accelerate the growth of its European operations.

GPT four to one..

Impact of a 1:4 reverse stock split.

What's going on here

$7.39 Hit new high and feeling rocky Mountain gpt high!

$$$

Target freeekeeen teeeens!!!!

Subsequent dividends would be $.20 (or more) per share.

What does it do with the dividend? Would I end up getting .05 per share after the split? Would they increase the dividend relative to the split?

Got margin?

One benefit of a higher trading price is moving away from the minimum margin requirement.

There are several reasons for larger companies to conduct reverse stock splits.

One of them is to draw institutional investors because some cannot buy stocks less than $10 per share.

Stock transfer fees paid by the company go down. As a stockholder, would you like to pay fees on 200,000 shares changing hands on a given day or 50,000?

Investors need to think about reverse splits like pizza. Does it really matter how many slices there are if you eat the entire thing? With stocks, you still own the same proportion of the business. There are just fewer slices and the pieces are bigger.

Any rationality to holding through the announced 4 for 1 stock split?

Gramercy Property Trust Announces Closing of a €350 million European Venture and Purchase of ThreadGreen Europe Limited (12/19/14)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gramercy Property Trust Inc. (NYSE:GPT), a real estate investment trust (“Gramercy” or the “Company”), announced today, along with several of its investment partners, the closing of a €350 million venture (“Gramercy Europe”) targeting single-tenant net leased assets and sale-leaseback opportunities across Europe, and the simultaneous acquisition of ThreadGreen Europe Limited (“ThreadGreen”), an existing property investment and asset management platform.

Gramercy Europe is a joint venture among the Company and investment entities managed by EJF Capital LLC (“EJF”), Fir Tree Partners (“Fir Tree”) and Senator Investment Group LP (“Senator”), along with certain other investors (collectively, the “Founding Investors”). Gramercy Europe will invest predominantly in single-tenant industrial, office and specialty retail assets in Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordic region, the United Kingdom and other targeted European countries. The total equity capital available to Gramercy Europe is €350 million, comprised of an initial commitment of €250 million of equity from Gramercy and the Founding Investors as well as an additional capital accordion of €100 million. Gramercy has a total commitment of €50 million to the venture. Simultaneously with the closing of the venture, Lindsay Sparacino of EJF, Jarret Cohen of Fir Tree and Michael Simanovsky of Senator will join the board of directors of Gramercy Europe, together with certain representatives appointed by Gramercy, including Gordon F. DuGan.

Simultaneous with the closing of Gramercy Europe, the Company is purchasing all of the assets of ThreadGreen Europe Limited who will provide the day-to-day management of the investment vehicle. With the ThreadGreen purchase, Gramercy has a fully-integrated presence in Europe, including investment personnel, asset management capability as well as all support functions in those areas. Principals of the Company and ThreadGreen worked together for a number of years at W. P. Carey & Co., where Alistair Calvert, Managing Director of ThreadGreen, along with Michael Heal, Director of ThreadGreen, ran the London office of W. P. Carey from December 2004 to June 2006. ThreadGreen currently manages approximately €210 million in single-tenant industrial and office assets located in Germany, Finland and Switzerland. Gramercy’s management along with the ThreadGreen principals have overseen investments in excess of $3 billion of single-tenant properties in Europe over a greater than 10-year period.

Gordon F. DuGan, Chief Executive Officer of Gramercy Property Trust, stated, “We are very excited about the opportunity to buy single-tenant assets with long, inflation-indexed leases throughout Europe at high current yields. We believe this new investment vehicle gives Gramercy shareholders access to European net leased assets in scale and in partnership with deep-pocketed and sophisticated partners. Gramercy will have a fully-integrated team on the ground that we have worked with in the past and a strategy that I have many years of experience with. We hope to replicate the success we have had with Gramercy Property Trust with our effort on Gramercy Europe.”

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the transaction. Additional information is available on the Company’s website www.gptreit.com/europe.

$6.13 with break of $6.20 area resistance, then teens target...imo.

Interesting news.

Raised my bid and picked up some more. I think you are right. Might touch 5.95 again but I don't like to chase. Historically the runs have been after financials. Either way we will be good in long run.

I think you missed your chance under 6

Any speculation on Q2 results? I've got buys in from 5.50 to 5.85. Still holding large core though. Will we go back below 6 or should I raise my bid price? Would love to get a few thousand more before next run .
