Agreement to Sell ANU Student Accommodation concession to AMP Capital



Infratil is pleased to announce a conditional sale of its 50% interest in the Australian National

University’s (“ANU”) Purpose Built Student Accommodation (“PBSA”) concession (the “Portfolio”) to

funds controlled by AMP Capital. The agreement is conditional on counterparty consents. Subject to

satisfaction of these conditions, completion of the transaction is expected to be in mid-April 2019.


On completion of the transaction, Infratil expects to receive cash proceeds of approximately A$162

million, with final proceeds adjusted for normal working capital.


“We continue to believe that the ANU portfolio is the standout portfolio in the on-campus PBSA sector

in Australia in terms of both scale and quality. However, the broader platform that Infratil intended to

develop using the ANU portfolio as a cornerstone has not eventuated. This conditional sale

agreement enables ANU to continue to grow its student accommodation offering under new

ownership and allows Infratil to focus its investments on its established platforms targeting renewable

energy, retirement services, and growth in data and connectivity” said Morrison & Co executive Mark

Mudie.

Background


ANU Portfolio


Infratil acquired the Portfolio from ANU in 2016 and announced a strategic review of its investment in

October 2018. Since acquisition, the Portfolio has been successfully transitioned to private sector

facilities management and expanded to include an additional 450 bed residence in response to

significant unmet demand from students.
