OPTIBASE LTD. ANNOUNCES PURCHASE OF
CONDOMINIUM UNITS IN MIAMI BEACH, FL, USA
HERZLIYA, Israel, November 12, 2013 – Optibase Ltd. (NASDAQ: OBAS) (the "Company" or "Optibase") today announced that its board of directors approved the purchase by its wholly owned subsidiaries Optibase FMC LLC and Optibase Real Estate Miami LLC, of twelve luxury condominium units located in Miami Beach, Florida (the "Units") as well as the leasing of one of the Units to one of the sellers for a 36-month period. The sellers of the Units are subsidiaries of The Capri Family Foundation, the Company's controlling shareholder.
The units are located on the Flamingo-South Beach One Condominium and the North Tower of the Continuum on South Beach Condominium, Miami Beach, Florida.
At the closing of the agreement, Optibase will pay an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.8 million for the twelve condominium units. The purchase price will be paid by the issuance of approximately 1.37 million newly issued shares of the Company (of which approximately 67,000 ordinary shares will be off set against the lease of one Unit). Accordingly, following the consummation of the transaction, the Company expects to issue 1,300,581 ordinary shares of the Company representing approximately 25.4% of the Company's issued share capital. The purchase price per share is based on the average closing price of the Company's ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market during the 30 trading days preceding the signing date of the agreements.
The closing of the agreements is subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders at its annual general meeting, to be held on December 19, 2013. There can be no assurance that the agreements will be consummated. For further information see the Company's Proxy Statement to be filed with the Securities And Exchange Commission on Form 6-K.
