DREAM GLOBAL REIT (“Dream Global” or the “REIT”) (TSX:DRG.UN, FRA:DRG) today announced that it has priced its previously disclosed inaugural European offering of €375 million ($544.3 million)1 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.375% per annum (representing the coupon rate of interest) and will mature on December 21, 2021.
The notes were sold at a price of €99.575 per €100.00 principal amount of notes, for an effective yield if held to maturity of 1.474% per annum.
The notes will be issued by a finance subsidiary of the REIT and guaranteed by the REIT. Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc acted as the underwriter and sole lead manager for the offering of notes.
