Vital announces acquisition and $140m capital raising
NorthWest Healthcare Properties Management Limited (the Manager), as manager of
Vital Healthcare Property Trust (Vital), today announced the acquisition of The Tennyson
Centre, and the intention to raise approximately $140m of new equity capital, through a
$115m underwritten
(1)
placement of new units (the Placement) and a ~$25m Unit
Purchase Plan (UPP)
(2)
(the Offer).
The net proceeds of the Offer provide Vital funding capacity to continue to support its
acquisition and development pipeline.
Tennyson Centre acquisition
The Tennyson Centre is one of Adelaide's leading “Cancer Centres of Excellence”,
comprising high quality tenants who operate within the identification, assessment and
treatment of cancer through oncology, radiotherapy, imaging and consulting services.
Strategic objectives
The acquisition of Tennyson Centre is aligned with Vital's 5-year portfolio strategy:
Supports AFFO target growth of 2-3% per annum
Increases investment allocation to ambulatory care
Further enhances tenant diversification
Creates new or expanded relationships with a number of leading national
providers of allied health services.
Vital's Fund Manager, Aaron Hockly, said:
"This acquisition is our first cancer centre of excellence and our third significant property
investment in Adelaide, South Australia. It adds several established healthcare operators
to Vital’s tenant base and is expected to provide on-going AFFO growth for Vital’s
unitholders. We will look to expand the centre on the development land acquired as part
of this transaction."
Capital raising
The $115m Placement will be conducted during the course of today, with new units
issued at a fixed price of $2.90 per unit, representing a 3.7% discount to the closing price
of $3.01 on 12 October 2021. NorthWest

has committed to participate in the Placement

by subscribing for at least $37.4m of new units, representing its pro rata 26.7% stake in
Vital.
The UPP will allow all eligible unitholders with a registered address in New Zealand on the
record date to apply for up to $15,000 of new units in Vital. The issue price of the new
units under the UPP will be the lower of the Placement price and a 2.5% discount to the
volume weighted average price of Vital units traded on the NZX during the five trading
days up to, and including, the end of the UPP offer period.
The Offer has been structured to be as fair as possible to all existing unitholders, and
enables almost all unitholders to participate through either the Placement or the UPP
(except where restricted due to legal constraints), and should scaling be required, it will
be by reference to existing unitholdings on the record date.
The UPP offer opens on 19 October 2021, with the offer document and application form
also being available from that date.
The new units issued under the Offer will rank equally with existing Vital units on issue and
will be eligible for the FY22 first quarter distribution payable in December.
The Placement is underwritten
(1)
by Forsyth Barr Group Limited and Goldman Sachs New
Zealand Limited.
Balance sheet impact
Vital’s pro forma gearing will be 33.6%
(4)
upon completion of the Offer, the Tennyson
Centre acquisition and previously announced transactions, an improvement of 1.4% over
30 June 2021. This provides Vital with funding capacity to continue to support its
acquisition and development pipeline.
Outlook
The Board reconfirms Vital’s previously released distribution guidance of 9.50 cents per
unit for the FY22 financial year, on a conservative pay-out ratio
(5)
.

Vital’sbusiness activities are subject to a number of risks which may, individually or in combination, affect the future operating performance of Vital and the value ofaninvestmentinVital.Investors
shouldcarefullyconsider,andmaketheirown assessment of, these risks, including the risk factors described below, before deciding whether to invest in New Units in Vital. This section does not set
out all the risks related to an investment in Vital and has been prepared without reference to your personal circumstances. Somerisks may be unknown and other risks, currently believed to be
immaterial, could turn out to be material. You should seek independent advice before deciding whether to participate in the Offer.
Impact of
COVID-19 and
macroeconomic
risks
In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation. Since then, events related to COVID-19 have resulted in significant disruption to local
and global economies. To date, Vital’sbusiness has been reasonably resilient to COVID-19 and the Manager currently believes that the outbreak will not have a long-term impact on Vital’s
position. However, there continues to be uncertainty as to the timeframe in which the impacts of COVID-19 will be felt given factors like the evolution of new variants of the virus and the
complexity associated with the timing and logistics of vaccine roll outs. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact Vital’sbusiness during this period will depend on future developments
which are difficult to predict, including the extent and duration of government mandated lock downs, legislative responses toCOVID-19, work stoppages and travel restrictions, as well as
the ability of Vital’stenants to continue to operate their businesses profitably.
Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, Vital may experience material adverse impacts to its business as a result of its local and global economic impacts, including any related
recession. Certain aspects of Vital’sbusiness and operations that could be adversely impacted include, among others, rental income, occupancy, tenant improvements, future demand for
space and market rents, which all ultimately impact the underlying valuation of investment property.
Foreign exchange
risk
Vital is a New Zealand registered managed investment scheme with unitholders who are mostly in New Zealand, but a portfolio of property assets that are predominantly located in
Australia. Vital is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to its net investment in, and net income from, its Australian properties as Vital reports and makes distribution payments in
New Zealand dollars. Fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly the AUD$/NZD$ exchange rate, may impact Vital’searnings and asset values, to the extent that they are not hedged or
forecast.
Indices inclusion
Vital’sunits are eligible for inclusion in a number of indices, such as the S&P NZX 50 index. Inclusion in a market index is generallydetermined by reference to a methodology that is set by
the index provider. Component parts of the methodology are often outside Vital’scontrol, such as trading volumes. The constituent members of market indices are periodically reviewed,
based on the prescribed methodology. Vital may be added to, or removed from, a market index following a periodic review. Vital’sunit price can be affected as a result. Further, Vital’sunit
price can be affected by market participants anticipating that Vital will be added to, or removed from, a market index at an upcoming periodic review. The impact on Vital’sunit price can be
material and adverse. Vital does not get advance notice of index changes before they are publicly announced (and generally available to the market).
In particular, Vital understands that some market participants anticipated that Vital would be included in the FTSE EPRA / NAREIT index in September 2021. That anticipation appeared to
lead to some increase in Vital’sunit price. Vital was not included, which then appeared to have an adverse impact on its unit price. The next periodic reviewfor that index is in March 2022
and it may be that Vital is included as a result of that review, although whether or not it is included is outside of Vital’scontrol.
KEY RISKS (2/3)
10
VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST
Tenants and rental
income
Vital’sfinancial performance is dependent on the maintenance of its tenancies and their success. Vital is exposed to counterparty riskwhere its tenants are unable to fulfil their contractual
obligations, including the payment of rent, which may be heightened in the current economic environment. A failure by Vital’stenants to fulfil their contractual obligations could affect the
operating and financial performance of Vital.
The severity of this risk is heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and Government regulations implemented to mitigate the spread of the virus. Restrictions on elective surgeries, the
general movement of people and access to premises, increased uncertainty and economic downturn, as well as other unforeseeable factors, may adversely affect the financial position of
tenants and, in turn, their ability to comply with their contractual lease obligations. In some cases, Vital’sability to manage tenant performance issues could be adversely affected by
moratorium legislation restricting the ability of landlords to manage tenant performance impacted by COVID-19 or limiting the recourse of landlords to tenants for defaults. As a result, it
may not be possible for Vital to recover unpaid rent or replace tenants on terms where Vital can achieve the same lease terms, including rental and tenure.
These factors may materially affect the operating and financial performance and prospects of Vital.
Property
valuations
Valuations ascribed to any property are influenced by a number of factors including:
Supply and demand for property (in Vital’scase, typically healthcare properties);
General property market conditions; and
The ability to attract and implement economically viable rental arrangements.
Vital’sinvestment properties are carried at fair value. This fair value is determined by external valuations conducted by independent experts in reliance on market evidence and underlying
assumptions at the time of the valuations. The market evidence relied on, and the assumptions made, at the time of the valuations may not reflect current market conditions. In particular,
some independent professionally qualified valuersadvise that the valuations are reported on the basis of significant valuation uncertainty because they consider transactionalmarket
evidence is being impacted by the continued uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As changes in valuations of investment properties are required to be reflected in Vital’sincome statement, any decreases in value will have a negative impact on Vital’sincome statement.
A valuation fall would also impact the price at which Vital would be able to sell the property in the market (which may be belowthe price paid for the property or the current market value)
and could affect Vital’sability to raise funds or its ability to comply with its banking covenants. In addition, while the independent valuations represent the best estimate of the independent
valuers, they may not reflect the actual price a property would realiseif sold.
KEY RISKS (3/3)
11
VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST
Funding
Vital’sability to raise funds on favourableterms, or at all, for future activities is dependent on a number of factors including general economic, political, capital and credit market conditions.
This includes Vital’sability to be able to refinance its existing debt facilities on terms which are no less favourablethan the current terms.
If Vital is unable to raise funds on favourableterms, or at all, Vital’sability to acquire or develop new properties or refinance its existing debt may be adversely affected. Fluctuations in
interest rates, to the extent that they are not hedged or forecast, may also increase Vital’soperating costs and impact its financial performance.
Reliance on
management
services and key
personnel
Vital is a managed investment scheme registered under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. As a result, Vital does not engageor employ any directors or employees of its own.
Instead, Vital is reliant upon the management services provided by its manager. These services include the day-to-day managementof Vital’sportfolio of properties and assets, negotiating
the acquisition and disposal of assets, development and construction planning and management, treasury and funding management, ensuring Vital meets its financial, reporting and other
statutory and regulatory obligations and communicating with unitholders and the market.
If the management services provided by the Manager were terminated for whatever reason, and Vital was unable to find a replacement manager, Vital may not be able to operate and/or
perform its contractual obligations.
Vital is also subject to key personnel risk to the extent that the quality of the management services that it receives drive itsfinancial performance. If Vital was unable to obtain high quality
management services from an experienced manager with a wide range of expertise, the growth of Vital and the rate of return itdelivers to its investors may decline.
Future
distributions
Distributions made by Vital are largely dependent on the rents received from tenants across the portfolio and expenses incurred during operations, which may be affected by a number of
factors, including:
overall economic conditions;
the financial performance of tenants (both now and in the future);
the ability to negotiate lease extensions or replace outgoing tenants with new tenants;
the occurrence of rental arrears,COVID-19 rental abatements or any vacancy periods;
reliance on a tenant which leases a material portion of Vital’sportfolio;
an increase in unrecoverable outgoings; and
supply and demand in the property market.
Any negative impact on rental income (including as a result of a failure of existing tenants to perform existing leases in accordance with their terms) has the potential to decrease the value
of Vital and have an adverse impact on distributions or the value of units or both.
The Board has provided its view on the distributions that it expects Vital to be able to declare for the FY22 financial year of 9.50 cents per unit. That view is based on Vital’sbusiness plan
and internal forecasts, taking into account the currently expected effect on net rental income and total expenses of COVID-19. The Board believes the assumptions underlying this
guidance are reasonable given its discussions with tenants, the high level of Government support for healthcare operators, the high-priority nature of healthcare spending and Vital’s
contractual position, but may be impacted by legislation changes, further waves of COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions. Distributions for FY22 or any other period are not certain and
distributions remain payable at the discretion of the Board. No return is guaranteed by the Manager, its Board or any other person.
