By Marisa Wong and Susanna Moon

Madison, Wis., May 3 - Gazit-Globe Ltd. said it received a total of NIS 174.85 million from the private placement of NIS 130 million of series J debentures together with 2.6 million options to purchase series K debentures.

The series J debentures and options were packaged together and issued at a price of NIS 1.345 for every NIS 1 principal amount of series J debentures, with no additional consideration for the options.

The series J debentures reflect a yield of 3.1%, Consumer Price Index-adjusted, and the duration is about six years.

The options are exercisable until June 14 at a price of NIS 1.042 for each NIS 1 par value of series K debentures. Each option is exercisable into 100 series K debentures.

The issuance is an extension of two existing series of debentures. The series J debentures were initially issued under a shelf offering report dated Feb. 19, 2009, and the series K debentures were initially issued under a shelf offering report dated Sept. 4, 2011.

The placement took place on May 2.

The debentures have a domestic credit rating of Aa3 with a stable outlook by Midroog, a Moody's subsidiary, and a domestic credit rating of ilA+ with a positive outlook by S&P Maalot.

The securities are subject to approval for trading by the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
