Under terms of the offer, National Storage securityholders would receive A$2.86 cash per stapled security. 

The offer is being made on the basis that a dividend or distribution of six Australian cents may be paid, in which case, the cash payable per stapled security will be reduced by the same amount.

National Storage has given the consortium making the offer until Dec. 7 to conduct due diligence and put forward a binding offer.
