Stride Property Limited ('Stride') advises that, following discussions with Westgate Town Centre Limited ('WTCL'), Stride has agreed to defer the expiry date of WTCL's three year option to acquire Stride's NorthWest Two development which is located alongside NorthWest Shopping Centre, in Auckland. The option was due to expire on 19 December 2017 but will be extended to a date in the new year which depends on the outcome of those discussions. By way of background and as previously disclosed, the development of NorthWest Two was undertaken following the granting by WTCL of a conditional right and ground lease to Stride for the land on which NorthWest Two is located. Under the Agreement, future rights were granted to WTCL that would allow it to subsequently acquire the development from Stride within three years of the ground lease's effective date (i.e., the deadline being 19 December 2017), at a price equal to 115% of Stride's total development cost (including holding costs). In the event WTCL does not acquire the development within the three year period, the agreement also permits Stride to obtain freehold title to the land for a nominal amount of $1. As at 30 September 2017, the NorthWest Two development was held in the consolidated interim financial statements at $36.3m - for more information refer to note 11 to the financial statements in the Stride Property Group Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2017.
