St John Board Announces Approval of Share Buy Back Offer
St John Balanced Property Fund Limited (St John, the “Company”) has announced that at the meeting of Shareholders held in Auckland on 15 November, the special resolution to approve the Company’s offer to acquire up to six shares in the Company for every ten shares held, on a pro rata basis, was passed by 99.84 per cent of the voting shares.
The offer follows the recent sale of St John’s Bunnings property in Manukau, Auckland which resulted in St John having cash reserves of approximately $17 million.
St John Chairman Kevin Podmore says, “This offer represented an opportunity for St John Shareholders to realise some of the shares they were issued by the Company in July last year when their mortgage bonds were converted to shares. The buy back price of $1.75 per share is the same price as the conversion ratio used at that time.”
8,590,020 shares were repurchased under the offer and have been immediately cancelled. Consequently the Company now has 7,182,781 shares on issue.
Following the repurchase majority shareholder Irongate Property Limited’s holding has reduced from 59.49 per cent to 52.25 per cent.

St John Board Announces Changes to Property Portfolio
St John Balanced Property Fund Limited (St John, the “Company”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, St John Whangarei Limited, has sold Walton Plaza, Whangarei for $12.55 million and purchased 450 Queen Street, a multi, level office building located in the upper Queen Street area of Auckland, for $14.5 million.
The sale of Walton Plaza was at a 4.2 percent discount to its book value and involved St John providing $550,000 of short term funding assistance.
St John Whangarei Limited Director Chris Minty says “450 Queen Street represents an attractive added value opportunity for the Company. The Vendor, St Laurence Properties Limited, had recently negotiated a new 12 year to the existing major tenant, Whitirea Community Polytechnic, subject to certain leasing costs.
These leasing costs are budgeted to total $3.1 million and include the provision of new air-conditioning and a facelift to the building. The market value of the property on completion of the works and commencement of the new lease has been assessed by valuers, Jones Lang LaSalle at $20 million.
St John has raised $5 million of bank debt to assist funding the acquisition and associated leasing costs.
“The repositioning of the portfolio has improved the quality of earnings for the Company and its shareholders. The Weighted Average Lease Duration will increase to 8.9 years and pre-tax earnings per share is forecast to increase to 15 cents per share. The unaudited net asset backing of St John shares is forecast to increase to $2.00 following commencement of the new lease.” Mr Minty said.
Mr Minty also advised that there had recently been a change in property manager, as a result of Cambridge Asset Management Limited acquiring from St Laurence Funds Management Limited, St John’s management contract late in 2010. All information, including St John’s published Annual Reports can now be found at www.cambridgemanagement.co.nz.
