Interesting angle from The Times, basically pointing out that Phoenix gets a fee rebate from UKCM - and always have done - on their shareholding.

Since the merger is with another abrdn fund, Phoenix will likely continue to get that rebate, something not available to other shareholders.

From citywire UKCM chairman to abstain from voting for merger with BBOX

hxxps://citywire.com/investment-trust-insider/news/we-could-have-got-a-better-deal-ukcm-chair-abstains-from-tritax-vote/a2439045

"Pereira Gray said a better offer could have been forthcoming had there been ‘a more open and comprehensive sales process’. Although the deal is supported by UKCM’s largest shareholders – Phoenix Wealth and Investec – Pereira Gray questioned whether it is ‘the highest price or the best value that could have been achieved’.

He doubled-down and stated that a liquidation would generate a higher net return to shareholders than the 71p per share being offered by Tritax, but acknowledged that ‘a merger with Tritax could deliver a higher net present value… over time assuming growth in the value of Tritax’s core investment portfolio and possible narrowing of the discount’"

Needs to have a word with his colleague at API to grow a backbone

I thought it was odd that UKCM announced at 7am they were considering the bid with the RNS dated Friday. BBOX then came out with an RNS saying it was agreed. Peter Gray is dissenting as UKCM chair, but has been voted 4 to 1 against. UKCM still not put another RNS out, presumably because Peter doesn't want to put his name to it. Sounds like a bit of a boardroom bust-up and Peter Gray has thrown his toys out of the pram! Anyway, it's not a great deal, so you can see why he's not happy, particularly as he will be losing his job.

UKCM was a good size UK diversified REIT and lowly geared. It always struggled though because of the Phoenix controlling stake. On balance, I am just about positive for the merger. I think UKCM lost a bit of investor respect taking on debt at the wrong time and entering into the dubious Hyatt hotel development at the wrong time.

Apart from MLI these proposals are mergers and only offer so called synergies/savings from a larger group. I've been in property for some years and bigger doesn't mean better management. Big boxes and small boxes have different tenants and different management styles are needed. If the UKCM price improves a little more I might be tempted to sell now and reinvest elsewhere.

No this is not a good deal for UKCM shareholders. BBOX are just taking the opportunity to effectively acquire the UKCM assets at much below NAV. And that in a market which is bumping along the bottom, and will fly as interest rates come down. Having acquired a substantial holding of UKCM I'm not in any hurry to have BBOX take that off me, or to become a shareholder in the enlarged group (which will basically be BBOX+). It is significant that the chairman is not convinced. If I had to be removed as a shareholder, then I would at least expect a true NAV price, not a convoluted attempt to convince me that this is fair value taking into account the market discounts. At the market discounts UKCM is a give away, whereas BBOX is not.

Yes, its an interesting deal and a tad surprising. Benefits are probably around 1. Selling 40% of UKCMs non-logistics assets; 2. Use additional capital to buy more logistics assets; 3. Reduced costs and 4. For UKCM, eliminate the Phoenix blocking stake. It's a done deal on the UKCM side. I hold both, so am relatively relaxed.

It's a better deal for UKCM than BBOX though as the share prices indicate.

Interesting that one board director is against it, and that they've been in discussions for ages.

But main interest is - why on earth does BBOX want UKCM? They solely talk about the logistics assets, so are they going to sell everything else? Offices, hotels, cinemas, retail? It's a lot to hit the market.

If I was a UKCM shareholder I'd feel pretty good about becoming pure-play logistics. If I was a BBOX shareholder I'd wonder what on earth they were doing.

UKCM would be a bizarre match for BBOX; but the share price here has been surprisingly strong recently - someone been buying for sure.

BBOX would of course be using its own very strong equity, trading on a mere 12.3% discount and 4.4% yield. However, likely to do a CREI and collapse sharpish on the news.

EBOX would have been a better fit; though of course a pretty major departure into Euroland.

Will it instigate a sector rally; or are those left just too small to be of interest?

Fail to comprehend the share price strength here. Looking way over-valued versus their peers

Take just two:

# UKCM - Disc @ 18.8% (Sep'23 - so likely lower); Yield @ 5.2%

# EBOX - Disc @ 45% (Sep'23 - so likely lower); Yield @ 9.0%

# SREI - Disc @ 27% (Sep'23 - so likely lower); Yield @ 7.6%

I don't own UKCM; but I like the new Chairman's ability to talk the talk. Also, as per DrB's post above, here is another property expert who believes in the one thing Specto really objects to: NAV.

"While we are aware of the share price dislocation, we believe earnings growth through active asset and company management, a strategic portfolio allocation set for growth, and strong balance sheet discipline will create the best foundations for the stock to shine when, or ahead of, a recovery in the real estate sector."

The NAV discount here is a "mere" 33% - compare that to 41.5% at API and a bizarre 43.5% at EBOX. This latter being sold down by one institution wanting to exit regardless of price, even though now on a seemingly secure 8.5% yield.

So, another BoD wondering what can be done about the share price Matters under consideration rather than a Strategic Review. A PHNX buyout would be the best solution for shareholders.
