To recap, the scheme consideration of 98 cents per unit represents a 7.1% premium to adjusted NAV which translates to a Price / Adjusted NAV multiple of 1.07x, which exceeds peer benchmarks and historical averages. The consideration also exceeds the highest ever traded price over the last two years.
The scheme document also shared that the Paragon independent directors are of the view that the scheme represents the most attractive and credible option available which, if it becomes effective, delivers immediate deal certainty, by allowing unitholders to fully monetise their investments in cash at an attractive scheme consideration.
The Paragon independent directors have recommended that unitholders vote in favour of the Paragon scheme resolution.
