PLAZACNTR (PLZ): UPDATE RE DISPOSAL OF GREEK DEVELOPMENT PLOT - raport 51
UNI - EN REPORT No51/2016
Plaza Centers N.V. (“Plaza” or the “Company”) announces that, further to the announcements of 8 April 2016 and 13 October 2016, the share transfer agreement to sell a development plot in Piraeus, Greece was signed on 5 December 2016.
Following a due diligence process undertaken by the purchaser, which included several findings regarding the construction possibilities on the site and the size of any potential development project, a gross sale price of €3.4 million was agreed, in line with the asset’s book value.
The transaction agreement includes a long stop date of 20 December 2016 for the conclusion of the transaction and full payment, conditional on certain local planning approvals being either obtained or waived by the purchaser.
The agreement also contains a potential upside price adjustment, which determines that an additional €60 per sqm shall be paid to Plaza (capped at a total transaction price of €4.2 million) if the purchaser constructs more than 10,500 sqm of built area on the site.
On completion of the transaction, in line with the Company’s stated restructuring plan, 75% of the net cash proceeds will be distributed to Plaza’s bondholders during the following quarter.
