ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
As previously announced, as part of an approximately £351.5 million secondary offering (the “Offering”) of ordinary shares of Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc (“KWE”), Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) committed to acquire approximately £46.7 million of KWE’s ordinary shares. Furthermore, as previously announced, certain employees of the Company in the United States and Europe, including certain executive officers of the Company, committed to acquire approximately £1.1 million of KWE’s ordinary shares.
On October 23, 2014, the Company closed and settled its purchase of £46.7 million of KWE’s ordinary shares and the Company’s employees closed and settled its purchase of £1.1 million of KWE’s ordinary shares.
The Company currently owns approximately 13.3% of the total issued share capital of KWE. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Jersey (“KW Manager”) also serves as KWE’s external manager pursuant to an investment management agreement. Under the terms of the investment management agreement, KW Manager is paid a management fee equal to 1% of KWE’s adjusted net asset value (EPRA NAV), half of which is paid in cash and the remainder paid in KWE’s ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2014 (prior to the Offering), KWE’s adjusted net asset value (EPRA NAV) was £992.9 million. There can be no assurances that KWE’s adjusted net asset value (EPRA NAV) will not change in the future.
