BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, July 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. ("IRSA CP")  announced today the launch of its global public offering of 14,000,000 newly-issued common shares, par value Ps.1.00 per share, which will be represented by American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") in the United States and other countries outside Argentina through a group of international underwriters and in Argentina by several placement agents pursuant to a Spanish-language prospectus prepared for the Argentine offering. In addition, 14,000,000 common shares are being offered by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima ("IRSA") as selling shareholder. The total number of common shares offered for sale in the global offering is subject to reallocation between the international and Argentine offerings. IRSA CP expects that the common shares will be offered at a price between US$50.00 and US$60.00 per ADS or US$12.50 and US$15.00 per common share.

IRSA has granted an option to the international underwriters for a period of 30 days following the date of pricing of the global offering to purchase up to an additional 1,050,000 ADSs, representing 4,200,000 common shares, at the public offering price per ADS paid by investors in the global offering, minus underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any.

Additionally, IRSA's Board of Directors has authorized the increase of the size of the offering in an amount up to 8,000,000 common shares (plus an option of an additional 1,200,000 common shares to the international underwriters to cover over-allotments, if any), depending on market conditions.

IRSA CP's ADSs are listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Market and the common shares are listed on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. ("BYMA"), in each case, under the symbol ''IRCP". On July 5, 2017, the closing price per common share on the BYMA was Ps.240.00 and the closing price per ADS on the NASDAQ was US$56.90.
