Investment highlights of New Amsterdam Invest

The objective of New Amsterdam Invest is to use the proceeds of the offering to acquire a significant stake in a company active as an operating company in the commercial real estate sector with principal operations in Europe, preferably in the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom or the United States of America and establish a business combination with one or more of the following parameters:

• Business combination consideration equal to 70% – 100% of the proceeds (minus the reserved amount);
• Target value of EUR 40 – 100 million;
• Unlevered target yield between 4.5% and 7.0% of the transaction value of the target and stable dividend between 4.5% and 6.5% of the equity value of the target;
• Loan to value (LTV) ratio of 45% – 55%;
• The promoters (also being managing directors) envisage to stay on the management board of the combined entity for a period of five years as of the business combination completion date on the condition that the target invites the promoters to continue to serve on such board;

New Amsterdam Invest will hold approximately 99% of the proceeds from the offering in escrow to be used for the purpose of effecting a (legal) merger, share exchange, share purchase, contribution in kind, asset acquisition or combination of these methods. The escrow account can be subject to negative interest. The company’s main objective is to complete a business combination within an initial period of 24 months following the settlement date, being 8 July 2021, subject to a potential extension of 6 months.

Extension Clause

In the prospectus, New Amsterdam Invest announced an initial offering of at least 1,250,000 units at EUR 20 per unit as well as the option of an extension clause offering additional units to meet potential demand. New Amsterdam Invest has decided, after consultation with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in its capacity as bookrunner, to trigger the extension clause and increased the size of this offering to fifty million euro.

Promoter Commitment

The promoters bear a financial commitment of EUR 750,000 (as promoter contribution). To cover any additional costs, up to EUR 500,000 the reserved amount from the proceeds can be used. If the promoter contribution and the reserved amount are insufficient to fund the offering expenses and the initial working capital, the promoters have contractually agreed to pay to the company, in addition to the promoter contribution, such additional amount corresponding to the outstanding offering expenses and initial working capital.

Cornerstone Investment

In addition to their promoter contribution promoters will (together) participate with EUR 10 million in the offering, investing their own money in 500,000 units, to show their confidence in New Amsterdam Invest and to fully align the interests of promoters and shareholders.

Share capital

As at the date of the prospectus the company’s issued share capital amounts to EUR 51,000, divided into 1,275,000 ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of EUR 0.04.

With effect as of the settlement date, and after the extension clause is exercised, the company’s issued share capital will amount to EUR 247,410 divided into 6,037,943 ordinary shares with a nominal value of EUR 0.04 each of which 1,127,693 shares are held in treasury; 147,307 promoter shares with a nominal value of EUR 0.04 each; and five priority shares with a nominal value of EUR 0.04 each.

The right of promoters to convert promoter shares into ordinary shares may be exercised at three different points in time, in each case without additional payment being required, provided that conversion will never become effective prior to the business combination completion date. As a basic principle, a promoter (indirectly) receives 3.5 ordinary shares upon conversion of 1 promoter share. All details of such conversion rights are included in the prospectus. The promoters will be bound by a 6 month lock-up.
