Lendlease Reportedly to Sell Remaining Assets in the Australian Prime Property Fund Retail Lendlease (Lendlease Group (ASX:LLC)) will look to undertake an orderly sale of the remaining assets in its flagship $2.9 billion retail property fund after its investors called for a substantial swath of their capital to be returned. Under the move, the Australian Prime Property Fund Retail will likely wind up over the next year with its manager hoping to capitalise on the strength in the retail property market in which big investors have chased regional mall assets. Although this is well below its peak valuation, Lendlease is betting that mall values will edge up as interest rates decline and consumer spending also surges. However, the wind-up of the fund is a rebuff for Lendlease's management, which had hoped to persuade investors to back its strategy to transform the malls into mixed-use town centres. That would have had to overcome hurdles, including winning over the co-owners of the remaining four major malls, and these groups will remain a powerful influence in how the assets are carved up. The decision came after a liquidity window for the fund closed. Lendlease cited the "strong market" for high-quality retail assets and level of redemption requests received as the drivers for making an "orderly realisation" of the portfolio. The orderly sale is also a rebuff to what Lendlease has dubbed an opportunistic bid from Link REIT for most of the assets. The local company said the liquidity strategy would "seek to maximise value through competitive processes in the context of a buoyant Australian retail market as evidenced by recent transactions". Lendlease managing director investment management Australia Vanessa Orth said the fund had delivered strong long-term returns for unit holders. "The fund's assets are located in strong growth markets and dominate their trade areas," she said. "Premium assets like these are difficult to acquire, with an internal rate of return outlook for the portfolio in excess of 11%." Lendlease last month fought off a bid by superannuation fund Hostplus to sack it as manager and replace it with Mirvac. Lendlease pointed to the strength of competition for Erina Fair as reason for optimism about the value of the fund's remaining assets. They include 50% stakes in Sunshine Plaza in Maroochydore and Macarthur Square in Sydney, which are co-owned by GPT and its main shopping centre fund respectively. The fund also owns 50% interests in Lakeside Joondalup, in Western Australia, and Westfield Carindale in Queensland. Analysts had thought the sale of the interest in Erina Fair and a $200 million liquidity commitment from Lendlease would be sufficient to cover the liquidity event. While Lendlease has dubbed the Hong Kong group's play opportunistic it shows the depth of demand in the sector. "The proposed transaction from Link REIT highlights the resurgence in demand for retail malls and is a positive read-through for the major mall REITs," JPMorgan analysts said. They said the implications for Lendlease were more mixed as the company would lose funds. Announcement • Jun 24
Lendlease Reportedly Kicks Off Keyton Sale Parties interested in buying a stake in the $3 billion retirement living business Keyton from Lendlease Group (ASX:LLC) are expected to be invited to participate in a sale process this week, say sources. This follows earlier requests for expressions of interest for the operation. DataRoom understands that on offer is the 25.1% stake owned by manager Lendlease, which previously owned the entire operation. Lendlease sold down the business to Aware Super, which owns a 49.9% stake and APG, which holds 25%. However, a sale of part of the business could trigger a costly capital gains tax bill, calling into question whether the sale extends to all of the business. Industry sources suggest Scape could be interested, amid speculation that APG could emerge as a key backer to Scape with its $3 billion -plus purchase of retirement village operator Aveo. Sources say that Lendlease is expected to take a flexible approach on the pricing as it divests non-core assets within planned time frames. Gresham is advising on Keyton. The divestment comes as tensions have been building between pension fund investors like Aware Super and Lendlease, which has been battling to retain its real estate management rights for its wholesale funds. Lendlease chief executive Tony Lombardo is understood to have placated matters for now after some recent meetings with key investors in Melbourne. However, competitors are poised to step in should the clients move to take their money elsewhere. The Australian previously reported Mirvac is keen to seize control after it did so with the wholesale office fund controlled by AMP in 2022. Mirvac's head of funds management, Scott Mosely, previously worked as managing director for Lendlease's $28 billion Australian funds management business, where he was responsible for overseeing the funds management and asset management business. Additionally, DataRoom understands that Charter Hall is well placed and preparing for the move should the investors look to shift their funds, although it has not hired an investment bank. The Keyton sale comes as Lendlease has fallen out of favour because of losses, excessive debt and project write downs. The company has moved to cut costs by axing hundreds of jobs and retreating from offshore markets. Announcement • Jun 20

Suitor Reportedly Sounds Out Lendlease over Keyton Unit Lendlease Group (ASX:LLC) is believed to have received at least one inbound approach to buy its retirement living business Keyton, just weeks after a deal is set to be finalised for Keyton's rival to sell for more than $3 billion. DataRoom understands that, following Scape's agreement to enter exclusive talks to buy Brookfield's retirement living business Aveo for more than $3 billion, parties that missed out on the opportunity have been courting Lendlease, with at least one -lucrative proposal received. The $3.8 billion listed group has been trying to sell its retirement living business for some time, but there were not interested parties at the right price. Yet the Aveo sale process, run by Morgan Stanley and Barren-joey, appears to have revived interest, and Gresham is believed to be launching a sale process for the Lendlease business. Student accommodation provider Scape is bringing in financial backers to fund its Aveo acquisition, and a deal is due to be finalised in about a fortnight. Sources say Lendlease now has about four or five parties interested in buying its holding in Keyton and, should the price be right, it could result in a deal involving a sale of the entire retirement living company. Keyton is estimated to be worth about $3 billion. Underbidders on the Aveo business were AustralianSuper, GIC, Oxford Properties (owned by Canadian pension fund OMERS) and Charter Hall. The other retirement living business that had tested interest in the past two years has been Retire-Australia, but it was taken off the market when suitors would not offer enough. Lendlease has flagged Keyton as being available for sale for some time as part of its quest to drive down its debt level by offloading non-core assets. It faces pressure from investors in its funds management business and its share price is down almost 10% this year despite delivering on its promises to sell down assets, including those offshore. Lendlease has fallen out of favour because of losses, excessive debt and project writedowns. The Tony Lombardo-run company has moved to cut costs by axing hundreds of jobs and is retreating from offshore markets. Announcement • May 20
