Title

Hepsori Kanada tütarettevõte tegi esimese investeeringu Kanada kinnisvaraturule

Message

Hepsori  Kanadas, Ontario provintsis, registreeritud  tütarettevõte Hepsor SPV I
Ltd   tegi  oma  esimese  investeeringu  Kanada  kinnisvaraturule.  Koos  Kanada
partneritega  osteti elukondlikuks arenduseks sobiv kinnistu Torontos, aadressil
3406-3434 Weston  road.  Kinnistu  arendamiseks  asutati ettevõte Weston Limited
Partnership, milles lisaks Hepsorile ja tema Kanada koostööpartneritele osalevad
veel ka erinevad Kanada ja Euroopa investorid. Tehingu struktureerimisel nõustas
Hepsorit Kanada üks suuremaid advokaadibüroosid Fasken (www.fasken.com).

Soetatud  arendusprojekti  esimese  faasi  eesmärgiks  on kinnistu ehitusmahtude
tõstmine  27 000 m(2)-ilt  ca  53 000 m(2)-ni  ning  ehitusõiguse  saamine  kahe
kortermaja  loomiseks.  Maa  väärtustamise  faas  võtab eelduslikult aega 2-2,5
aastat,  misjärel saab Weston Limited Partnership otsustada, kas selleks hetkeks
loodud  täiendav väärtus realiseeritakse läbi kinnistu edasimüügi või liigutakse
projektiga edasi ehitusfaasi.

Projekti  esimese faasi investeeringute mahu suuruseks on kokku ca 17,5 miljonit
eurot,  millest  Weston  Limited  Partnership  investeerib  omavahenditena ca 8
miljonit eurot.

Hepsor  AS-i nõukogu  esimees Andres  Pärloja ütles:  "Hepsor alustas oma Kanada
ärisuuna  arendamisega 2022. aasta kevadel pärast Ukraina sõja algust eesmärgiga
leida   uusi   kasvuvõimalusi   ning  hajutada  praeguste  koduturgudega  seotud
geopoliitilisi  riske.  Aasta  ajaga  on  Kanadas  ülesehitatud äri alustamiseks
vajalik  koostöövõrgustik  alates  juriidilistest-  ja  finantsnõustajatest ning
lõpetades  pankade, turuanalüüsi- ning maaklerettevõtetega. Lisaks Weston Road'i
projektile  on Kanadas hetkel ettevalmistamisel sisenemine veel kolme sarnasesse
arendusprojekti Torontos ja Toronto eeslinnades."

Hepsor's Canadian subsidiary made its first investment in the Canadian real estate market

Message

Hepsor  SPV I Ltd, a  subsidiary of Hepsor in  the Canadian province of Ontario,
made  its  first  investment  in  the  Canadian  real  estate market. A property
suitable  for  residential  development  was  purchased in Toronto at 3406-3434
Weston  Road  together  with  Canadian  partners. Weston Limited Partnership was
founded in order to develop the property in which, in addition to Hepsor and its
Canadian  partners, various  Canadian and  European investors  also participate.
Fasken  (www.fasken.com), one of  Canada's largest law  firms, advised Hepsor on
structuring the deal.

The  goal of the first phase of  the acquired development project is to increase
the  construction volumes of the property from 27,000 m(2) to ca 53,000 m(2) and
to  obtain construction rights for the  creation of two apartment buildings. The
land  valuation phase  is expected  to take  2-2.5 years, after which the Weston
Limited  Partnership will be able to decide whether the additional value created
by that point will be realized through the resale of the property or whether the
project will move on to the construction phase.

The  total volume of investments  in the first phase  of the project is ca 17.5
million  euros, of  which Weston  Limited Partnership  will invest  ca 8 million
euros as own funds.

Andres  Pärloja, Chairman of  the Supervisory Board  of Hepsor AS, said: "Hepsor
started  developing its Canadian  business line in  the spring of 2022 after the
start of the war in Ukraine with the aim of finding new growth opportunities and
mitigating  the  geopolitical  risks  associated  with the current home markets.
Within a year, a network of cooperation has been built in Canada, from legal and
financial  advisors  to  banks,  market  analysis  and  brokerage  companies. In
addition to the Weston Road project, three other similar development projects in
Toronto and Toronto suburbs are currently under preparation in Canada."
