Briefs – Vukile Property exits discussions with Synergy

Johannesburg, 4 September, BizNews

Vukile Property Fund has withdrawn from acquisition discussions with Synergy Income Fund. Vukile acquired some 49% of Synergy B linked units in December 2013.

Laurence Rapp, CEO of Vukile, comments: "We have been unable to agree terms with the board of Synergy.  Whilst we remain of the view that Vukile and Synergy unitholders would benefit from consolidation, we will only pursue a transaction which, based on the underlying property fundamentals and pricing, is appropriate and enhancing to our unitholders."
