Strong demand for priority pool
The $5 million priority pool Offer of the Arvida Group Limited’s $80 million Initial Public Offer (IPO) has closed fully
subscribed with strong support from residents, staff and existing village investors.
Welcoming the new shareholders from amongst Arvida’s 1,800 residents and 1,000 staff across its 17 retirement villages
and aged care facilities, Chairman Peter Wilson says their support is a further endorsement of the new group’s strategy
to be a leader in the provision of retirement village and aged care facilities.
“We are delighted residents, staff and existing facility investors have taken the opportunity to invest or invest
further in Arvida. Investors through the priority pool will join with the 18 institutional investors and a broad range
of retail clients of participating NZX firms who earlier subscribed for shares through the bookbuild process as part of
the IPO.”
“Arvida will have an extensive shareholder base balanced between the interests of institutional investors, retail
investors, facility investors, residents and staff when its shares begin trading on the NZX Main Board on 18 December
2014.”
The retail offer remains open and will close at 5pm on 15 December 2014. A copy of the prospectus and the investment
statement both dated 17 November 2014 is available at www.arvida.co.nz.
