TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hudson’s Bay Company ULC (“Hudson’s Bay” or the “Company”), as part of its ongoing restructuring under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to pursue the assignment of up to 28 lease locations in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia (the “Assigned Leases”) to Ruby Liu Commercial Investment Corp (the “Purchaser”), a corporation indirectly controlled by Ms. Ruby Liu, for the purposes of launching a new modern department store concept in Canada (the “Transaction”). An affiliate of the Purchaser is an existing landlord at three of the Company’s leased locations in British Columbia, which are included in the Transaction.

The agreement is the result of the previously announced lease monetization process approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Court”), whereby the Company sought sale proposals from qualified bidders in respect of the Company’s leases. Following careful evaluation of final qualified bids, the board of directors of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and broker, respectively, certain of the Company’s senior lenders and the Court-appointed monitor of the Company (the “Monitor”), have determined that entering into the Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders. The Company remains in discussions with other qualified bidders in respect of certain other lease locations, and will communicate the outcome of those discussions, as appropriate, in the future.

The assignment of the Assigned Leases to the Purchaser is conditional upon satisfactory receipt of applicable landlord consents and/or approval of the Court, and certain other terms and conditions set out in the agreement between the Company and the Purchaser. There can be no assurances that the conditions to closing will be satisfied, including within applicable deadlines to complete the Transaction.

About Hudson’s Bay Company ULC

Hudson’s Bay Company ULC is a Canadian entity that includes the retail company Hudson’s Bay, comprising approximately 80 stores which are in the process of being liquidated in accordance with the CCAA proceedings.

Additional Information

Court filings as well as other information related to the Company’s CCAA proceedings are available on the Monitor’s website at www.alvarezandmarsal.com/HudsonsBay.

• Demonstrates GSA’s track record as the global leader in student housing, with the ability to secure financing with the world’s leading lending institutions
• Transaction strengthens GSA’s existing relationship with Wells Fargo, with a shared commitment to delivering high-quality student housing

LONDON & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global Student Accommodation (“GSA” or the “Company”), the global leader in student housing, today announces the successful closing of a $500 million senior loan facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), one of the world’s leading financial institutions.

The facility covers 23 assets across 14 states, in key university cities, including tier one institutions, such as Arizona State University, Auburn University, Purdue University, and the University of Illinois.

The refinancing supports GSA’s long-term growth strategy, with a commitment to becoming a market leader in U.S. student housing.

John Jacobs, Global Head of Capital Markets at GSA, said:

“Over the past year, GSA has closed over $1bn of financing facilities globally, enabling us to optimise our capital structure and recycle capital into value-add initiatives across our portfolio.

“This latest refinancing will facilitate both expansion within the U.S. market and an ongoing programme of refurbishments. This includes initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of the portfolio and further support for students’ wellbeing.

“Student housing continues to demonstrate its resilience as an asset class. The deepening of our partnership with Wells Fargo reflects this and is testament to GSA’s expertise as an investor and asset manager.”

Melissa Frawley, Managing Director of Wells Fargo said:

“This financing underscores Wells Fargo’s leadership in and commitment to the global student housing sector, and we are delighted to be extending the relationship between Wells Fargo and GSA, which spans both the U.S. and Europe.

“Student housing remains a robust and attractive asset class, and GSA’s innovative, global approach and sector-expertise continues to differentiate them within the market.”

All spaces are managed by GSA’s partner Yugo, the world’s leading student brand and operator, who are transforming the way students live by combining local market knowledge with global expertise.
