Title

Arco Vara restruktureeris Bulgaaria laenud ja jätkab korterite müüki

Message

Arco Investeeringute AS-i (100% Arco Vara AS tütarettevõte) Bulgaaria
tütarettevõte Arco Invest EOOD ja Piraeus Bank sõlmisid pärast kolmekuulist
läbirääkimisprotsessi Madridi Boulevardi ja Manastirski arenduste
laenulepingutes muudatused. 

Lepingumuudatustega:

1) alaneb laenude intressimäär ca 1,5% võrra ja kontserni aasta intressikulud
rohkem kui 200 000 eurot; 

2) väheneb pangale iga müüdud korteri pealt tagastatav laenu põhisumma. Sellega
laheneb kriitiline probleem ja jätkub rohkem kui kolmekümnele eellepingu
sõlminud kliendile korteriomandite üleandmine ning laenude põhiosa tagastamine. 

Kuni laenude restruktureerimiseni oleks Arco Invest EOOD poolt klientidele
korteri omandiõiguse üleandmisel pangale tagastatav põhisumma olnud suurem, kui
klientidelt üleandmise hetkel laekuv ostuhinna lõppmakse. Kuivõrd kontsern ei
pidanud võimalikuks nimetatud vahet katta, oli üleandmine kuni laenulepingute
muutmiseni peatunud. Sellest omakorda peatus ka kontserni laenukoormuse
vähenemine, kuna toodete müügist raha ei laekunud. 

3) langeb kontserni laenukoormus sõltuvalt klientide maksedistsipliinist
tõenäoliselt enam kui 2 mln euro võrra, kuna 2013. aasta 1. kvartalis
klientidele eeldatavasti üleantavate korterite kogupind ületab 4 000m2; 

4) võttis kontsern panga ees kohustuse tagastada 2014. aasta jooksul 1,8 mln
eurot, mistõttu sõltuvalt toodete müügi tulemustest ja muudest asjaoludest võib
laenude restruktureerimise vajadus tulevikus taas tekkida. 

Restruktureerimise tulemusena on Bulgaaria arendustegevus jätkusuutlik,
teenindab finantskohustusi üürituludest ning lakkab laenulepingute ülesütlemise
oht seoses kontserni poolt kohustuste mittetäitmisega. Jätkub valmistoodete
müük Madridi ja Manastirski projektides.

Title

Arco Vara restructures Bulgarian loans and continues to sell apartments

Message

After three months of negotiation, Arco Invest EOOD, a Bulgarian subsidiary of
Arco Investeeringute AS (a wholly-held subsidiary of Arco Vara AS), and Piraeus
Bank have agreed to amend the loan agreements of the Madrid Boulevard and
Manastirski developments. 

The amendments:

1) lower the interest rates of the loans by around 1.5% percentage points and
the group’s annual interest expense by more than 200,000 euros; 

2) reduce the amount of loan principal to be repaid to the bank on the sale of
each apartment. This resolves a critical issue and the group can continue
transferring ownership of the apartments to more than 30 customers, who have
already signed a preliminary agreement, and repaying loan principal. 

Until the restructuring, the amount of loan principal to be repaid by Arco
Invest EOOD on the transfer of title to an apartment to a customer would have
exceeded the final portion of the purchase price receivable from the customer
at the date of transfer. Since the group was not willing to cover the
difference, transfer of the apartments was suspended until the amendment of the
loan agreements. This in turn, suspended the decrease in loan burden because
the group did not receive cash from sale of goods. 

3) will probably lower the group’s loan burden by more than 2 million euros,
depending on the settlement behaviour of the customers, as the gross surface
area of the apartments expected to be transferred to customers in the first
quarter of 2013 exceeds 4,000 square metres; 

4) impose on the group the obligation to repay 1.8 million euros to the bank in
2014. Thus, depending on sales results and other circumstances, the need for
restructuring the loans may arise again. 

Through restructuring of the loans, the group’s Bulgarian development
operations are again sustainable, able to service their financial obligations
with rental income and the risk of termination of loan agreements due to the
group’s breach of loan terms has disappeared. Sale of finished goods in the
Madrid and Manastirski projects continues.
