Dexus Property Group Ltd has released more information about its holding in takeover target Commonwealth Property Office Fund (CPA) to a end a court battle with the group.
In a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange, Dexus said it had entered into a forward contract with Deutsche Bank, giving it the ability to buy 350 million CPA units at $1.1334 apiece and the bank the obligation to deliver them.
The deal gave Dexus the right to increase its 9.3 per cent interest in the fund to 14.9 per cent.

Dexus has now released information about the product, known as a collar, which has a ceiling price of $1.20 and a floor price of $1.02, with a settlement date of July 25 2014.
