D&B Rating: N1, reporting a minimum risk of business failure. According to FAME EE Ltd has a credit score of 41 and is of a normal status.
SWOT Analysis Strengths • High quality office building situated on Bristol’s premier business park.
• Excellent road connections located adjacent to Junction 16 of the M5.
• Strong covenant of EE Ltd with a D&B rating of N1
All prices assume purchasers costs of 5.80%.
We recommend quoting 6.00% and be driven to achieve closer to (or beyond) 5.75% through generating a competitive bidding scenario
Weaknesses • Whilst the rent is reversionary in the open market, it may be
difficult to achieve an uplift via rent reviews as evidence will be limited until more Grade A space is made available.
• Some investors may not like out of town locations and consequent lack of alternative use value.
• Excellent car parking ratio of 1:211 sq.ft. • Recently refurbished accommodation including new air conditioning system.
• The lot size will appeal to a wide range of investors.
Threats • Tenant demand is currently outstripping supply for high quality
Opportunities • The property has recently been refurbished by the tenant which demonstrates their commitment to the building.
• The tenant is committed to the property which provides an opportunity for re gear discussions in the medium term.
• An opportunity to increase the income via rent reviews.

Disposal Strategy

Presentation to Aprirose April 2016
Disposal Process Preparation / Due Diligence
Offers
Property Audit – a full review of title, leases and property data. We would obtain an EPC and recommend commissioning building, environmental and measured surveys which can be assigned to the purchaser.
Knight Frank will analyse the offers and make a recommendation on the party to be selected for detailed due diligence. The focus of Knight Frank’s decision making and recommendation process will be a combination of pricing and deliverability in the context of the financing and approval process.
The Sales Pack We would recommend the preparation of a high quality 12 page professional brochure to present the asset in its best light.
Implementation The marketing campaign will last for approximately four weeks in order to generate sufficient interest. Knight Frank will maintain a strong message of exclusivity by way of personal presentations to both of our domestic and international target investors. This approach ensures that the sales message is primarily delivered to the decision makers.
Bids date When we feel we have generated sufficient interest and that each party has had the opportunity to undertake thorough due diligence, we will request offers to be received by a certain date. This will create a competitive bidding environment.
Press & Public Relations It is important to prepare a structured press release to help manage the PR related to the sale. Friendly liaison between Knight Frank and the press will be carefully co-ordinated.
14
Exclusivity The party will be given an exclusivity period, after agreeing Heads of Terms, to review the legal material and clear due diligence.
Online Data Room An online data room should be prepared by your professional advisors, with full legal and technical documentation in advance of an investor entering exclusivity. If prepared early, limited information and data room access could be made available to investors to assist with the preparation of their offers.
Client Reporting Knight Frank will liaise with you on a daily basis and crucial updates will be provided beyond normal reporting procedure. The team will be contactable at all times. Knight Frank will ensure all hurdles are cleared as efficiently as possible once the property is under offer.

Accessing Global Capital The key is to understand the dynamic and capital drivers of each nationality, e.g. wealth preservation, income distribution, Sharia compliance. Knight Frank has a unique ability to access global capital through simple direct links with a network of key overseas offices, coordinated from London. Historically Knight Frank has always had very strong contacts with Super High Net Worth Individuals from its luxury global residential business.
Knight Frank is the number one ‘go-to’ firm for accessing International Capital.
We have a dedicated Global Wealth Desk which works alongside out residential ‘Business Intelligence Unit’ to identify and target High Net Worth Individuals, wealth managers, private banks and family offices.
Recent examples include:
Knight Frank has very strong relationships with the private banks including a JV with National Bank of Abu Dhabi and our market-leading “Wealth Report”. Through the annual publication of this report, we have been able to track equity from the most aggressive emerging markets and would seek to target potential buyers from these countries.
Mapletree (Singapore) – sold the Diageo Building, Park Royal to Mapletree, a new entry to the South East market introduced by KF’s international investment team. PNB Malaysia - acquired Linklaters HQ and sold KanAm London portfolio. EPF Malaysia - advised on the Central London acquisition at 11 St James’ Square. Chinese Estates - acquired Goldman Sachs HQ. Wilmar International – sale of Aviva Tower. NPS Korea (Rockspring) - retained mandate in Central London. China Investment Corporation – sold Winchester House on behalf of KanAm. COLI – sold 1 Finsbury Circus on behalf of Invesco. New entrants are appearing every month and the best prices invariably are achieved by selling to “new” international equity. If the eventual purchaser is domestic, international targeting will provide healthy competition.
