Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield ("URW" or "the Group") has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire from its joint venture partner the remaining 50% stake in Westfield UTC, an A++ rated flagship asset located in San Diego, California.
The acquisition consideration of c. $705 Mn will comprise a combination of cash and up to 2.6 million new shares to be issued by URW1 (without lock-up restrictions) and is subject to further adjustment for closing costs and reimbursements. Completion of the transaction is subject to URW's share price and customary closing conditions. The definitive composition of consideration will be announced at closing. The transaction excludes certain land parcels that will continue to be owned in partnership.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of agreement conditions, the transaction would close no later than 31 December 2026.
The transaction is expected to be LTV and AREPS neutral, and marginally accretive to NAV. The acquisition of Westfield UTC, one of the best retail assets in the US, would further enhance URW's unparalleled portfolio of flagship assets in some of the most attractive urban markets in Europe and the US. It is fully consistent with the Group's 'A Platform for Growth' 2025-2028 business plan and targeted return profile, which is underpinned by the asset's strong cash-flow profile and identified growth levers.
