News, Press Release

Annual general meeting results: Business Combination approved and effective immediately

New Amsterdam Invest N.V. (the "Company", or “New Amsterdam Invest”, or "NAI"), a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC”) listed on Euronext Amsterdam, announces that at its annual general meeting of shareholders, held today at Van der Valk Hotel Utrecht, the Netherlands (“AGM”), all resolutions were duly passed. This means among others that the business combination, as contemplated in the shareholder circular dated 21 April 2023 and voted upon at this AGM (the ''Business Combination) can be completed. With respect to the Business Combination, all shareholders supported the Business Combination. The results of all other voting items can be found below.

Aren van Dam, CEO of New Amsterdam Invest commented:
“The full support of our shareholders today provides a unique start for our business combination and encourages us to pursue our business objectives.”

Rationale for the Business Combination

Establishing the Business Combination is an important strategic opportunity for NAI, enabling its shareholders to be part of an international operating company in the commercial real estate industry with a diversified portfolio in the UK and in the USA with the potential for further investments.

Main objectives of NAI will be running operational and commercial activities including the owning, (re-) developing, acquiring, divesting, maintaining, letting out and/or otherwise operating commercial real estate, all in the broadest possible meaning. NAI will focus on optimizing the tenant line up, creating long term lease commitments with tenants, ideally based on FRI (full repair and insurance), as well diversifying in geography and segment. In total NAI will contribute circa EUR 48 million in cash to the new Business Combination, while circa EUR 22 million is obtained via debt financing.

Listed entity will remain NAI

NAI and Somerset Park B.V. (”Somerset Park”) will pursue their Business Combination that will be structured as an incorporation of Somerset Park by NAI and the listing of NAI on Euronext Amsterdam will continue under the name New Amsterdam Invest and ticker “NAI”.

All NAI shareholders are entitled to one BC-warrant per two ordinary shares (”Ordinary Shares”) to be issued as per the timetable stated below with a strike price of EUR 11.50.

Shareholdings post- Business Combination

After the Business Combination completion, 50% of the promoter shares in the capital of NAI (“Promoter Shares”) will convert into 3.5 Ordinary Shares NAI per Promotor Share and as a result, the total number of Ordinary Shares entitled to dividend will increase with 257,789 Ordinary Shares, while the total number of Promoter Shares entitled to dividend will reduce with 73,654 Promoter Shares.

Following completion of the Business Combination, with none of the NAI shareholders making use of the opportunity to sell back their Ordinary Shares (as dissenting shareholders) the total number of Ordinary Shares NAI, will change as in the table below.
