Bengaluru, India, March 01, 2022

Embassy Office Parks REIT (NSE: EMBASSY / BSE: 542602) (‘Embassy REIT’), India’s first listed REIT and the largest office REIT in Asia by area, today announced that Scheme of arrangement (the ‘Scheme’) involving Embassy Office Ventures Private Limited (‘EOVPL’) and Vikas Telecom Private Limited (‘VTPL’) and their respective shareholders has become effective on February 28, 2022, upon necessary filing with the Registrar of Companies pursuant to the approval of the Scheme by the National Company Law Tribunal (‘NCLT’) vide its order dated February 17, 2022. Under the scheme, EOVPL shall be merged with VTPL, which will become a 100% directly held Special Purpose Vehicle of Embassy REIT.

Michael Holland, Chief Executive Officer of Embassy REIT, said,

“The completion of this key restructuring exercise simplifies the holding structure of Embassy TechVillage (‘ETV’), a marquee property that Embassy REIT acquired in the last fiscal year. The collapsing of ETV’s legacy two-tier legal entity structure enables an increase in the proportion of dividend component in our quarterly distributions. As REIT dividends are tax-free, this restructuring shall improve post-tax distributions to the benefit of our Unitholders. We continue to focus on creating long-term value to maximize returns for our growing Unitholder base.”
