SWEF - Notice of Extroadinary General Meeting

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Ltd (SWEF) SWEF - Notice of Extroadinary General Meeting 30-Aug-2016 / 17:08 GMT/BST Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement, transmitted by EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited Extraordinary General Meeting The Company has today published a circular giving notice of an extraordinary general meeting to be held at 1 Royal Plaza, Royal Avenue, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 2HL on 14 September 2016 at 4.00 p.m (the 'Circular'). The current placing programme of the Company (the 'Existing Placing Programme') expires on 6 September 2016. The Board is now considering a new replacement programme at a point later in 2016 or in 2017 subject to an assessment of likely new investment opportunities for the Company. The timing of any such new placing programme (the 'New Placing Programme'), which will require the publication of a new prospectus of the Company, is not currently determined. However, the Board considers that it would be prudent to take this opportunity to renew the necessary authorities from Shareholders (the 'Placing Programme Authorities') to enable equity issues under the New Placing Programme (the current authorities being linked to the Existing Placing Programme which is due to expire as described above). The New Placing Programme, if implemented, will enable the Company to make further investments in accordance with its investment policy. Whilst the timing of the New Placing Programme and the amount of any equity issues thereunder remain to be determined and will depend on consideration of new investment opportunities, potential repayments and cash drag, amongst other factors, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval at this point to provide flexibility for the issue of, in aggregate, up to 250 million New Ordinary Shares and/or C Shares pursuant to the New Placing Programme. The Resolutions to approve the Placing Programme Authorities will, if passed, supersede the existing allotment and disapplication authorities of the Company currently in place. A copy of the Circular is available at http://www.starwoodeuropeanfinance.com/index.php/team-2/corporate and will be available on the National Storage Mechanism at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm. Terms not defined in this announcement shall have the same meaning set out in the Circular.
