29.12.2009: Arco Vara AS tütarettevõte Arco Ehitus OÜ võõrandas oma osaluse Arco Construction SIA-s

Message

Arco Vara AS (edaspidi Kontsern) 100% tütarettevõte Arco Ehitus OÜ võõrandas oma
osaluse Arco Construction SIAs (55 % Arco Ehitus OÜ tütarettevõte), mille       
osakapital oli 4 000 Läti latti (ca 88 333 krooni, ca 5 646 eurot.  
           
Enamusosalus Arco Construction SIA-s soetati 2007. aasta alguses, eesmärgiga    
ehitada Kontserni  arendusprojekte ning teenida kasumit Läti ehitusturu kiirest 
kasvust. Läbi dividenditulu on kontsern saanud täies mahus tagasi oma varasemad,
ettevõtte soetamiseks tehtud investeeringud. Järgnevate aastat jooksul oleksid  
Kontserni omainvesteeringud enda Läti arendusprojektidesse olnud maksimaalselt  
15,0 mln krooni (ca 0,96 mln eurot), mis ei tagaks Arco Construction SIA        
jätkusuutlikku majandamist. Samas pole Arco Construction SIA olnud edukas uute  
kontserniväliste lepingute sõlmimisel. Lisaks on Läti ehitusturg 2007. aastaga  
võrreldes oluliselt ahenenud ja ei vasta enam Arco Vara AS-i strateegia         
põhimõtetele, mille oluliseks osaks on vähendada Kontserni kohustusi ja loobuda 
tegevustest, mida Kontsern ei saa täielikult kontrollida.
                       
Arco Ehitus OÜ-le kuuluva Arco Construction SIA osaluse omandasid Arco          
Construction SIA kaasomanikud selliselt, et Viktors Savins omandas 27,3%        
võõrandatavast osalusest, Marti?š Bubens omandas 23,6% võõrandatavast osalusest,
Aivars Kacars omandas 23,6% võõrandatavast osalusest ning J?nis ?odars omandas  
25,5% võõrandatavast osalusest. Tegemist on tehinguga seotud isikuga NASDAQ OMX 
Tallinna Börsi reglemendi osa "Nõuded Emitentidele" tähenduses. Omandajad       
Marti?š Bubens ja Aivars Kacars on Arco Construction SIA juhatuse liikmed ning  
Viktors Savins on sama ettevõtte nõukogu liige.
                                 
Tehingu maksumus oli ca 1,1 mln krooni (0,07 mln eurot), millest Kontsernile    
laekub rahana 0,1 mln krooni (0,01 mln eurot), kuna ülejäänud osa ca 0.97 mln   
krooni (0,06 mln eurot) kulub Arco Costruction SIA soetusmaksumuse kohustuse    
tasaarvelduseks. Tehingu tulemusena vähenevad Kontserni konsolideeritud võlad   
hankijatele 28,8 mln krooni (ca 1,84 mln eurot), nõuded ostjate vastu vähenevad 
22,3 mln krooni (ca 1,43 mln eurot). Antud tehingu tulemusena Kontsern kahjumit 
ei saanud. Tehing ei avalda märkimisväärset mõju Arco Vara kontserni tegevusele 
ega ole käsitletav olulise osaluse võõrandamisena. Arco Vara AS nõukogu ja      
juhatuse liikmed ei ole tehingust muul viisil isiklikult huvitatud.

from the fast growth of construction market within Latvia. By the

acquiring the company. During next years self investments by the Group into the 
development projects in Latvia would not have exceeded of 15.0 mln kroons       
(approx. 0.96 mln euros), which would not ensure the sustainable managing of    
Arco Construction SIA. At the same time Arco Construction SIA has not been      
successful of signing the group-external agreements. Moreover the construction  
market in Latvia has substantially tightened comparing with the year 2007 and do
not comply any more with the strategic principles of Arco Vara AS whereof       
essential part is to reduce liabilities of the Group and to withdraw from the   
actions which the Group can't fully control.

obtained 25,5% from the transferable shares. This transaction represents a      
transaction with a related person within the meaning of “Requirements for       
Issuers” of the NASDAQ OMX Tallinn Rules. The acquirers Marti?š Bubens and      
Aivars Kacars are the members of the board of Arco Construction SIA and Viktors 
Savins is the members of the council of the same company.

wherefrom the Group shall receive in cash 0.1 mln kroons (approx 0.01 mln euros)
whereas rest in amount of approx 0.97 mln kroons (0.06 mln euros) will be spent 
to balance the liabilities of the acquisition costs of Arco Costruction SIA.

remarkable material economical effect on the activities of Arco Vara Group and
