Title

Danske Bank esitas avalduse Arco Investeeringute pankroti väljakuulutamiseks

Message

04.02.2013 teatas Arco Vara börsile, et Danske Bank A/S-i pangalaenu
sissenõudmiseks on alustatud täitemenetlus Arco Vara AS-i 100%-lise
tütarettevõte Arco Investeeringute AS-i 50%-se osalusega ühisettevõtte Arco HCE
OÜ suhtes. Täitemenetluse objektiks oli Danske Bank A/S-i kasuks seatud
hüpoteek kinnistule Ahtri 3. 

20.02.2013 rahuldas kohus Arco HCE OÜ hagi tagamise taotluse ja peatas
täitemenetluse ettevõtte suhtes. Koos hagi tagamise taotlusega esitas Arco HCE
OÜ hagi Danske Bank A/S-i vastu kohustamaks Danske Bank A/S-i pikendama
laenulepingut. 

Kuna Arco Investeeringute AS on käendanud Arco HCE OÜ pangalaenu summas 1 917
349,46 eurot, esitas Danske Bank A/S Arco Investeeringute AS-ile nõude käenduse
tasumiseks. 

Arco Investeeringute AS vaidlustas käenduse sissenõude, tuginedes lihtsustatult
asjaolule, et kui laen ei ole sissenõutav, ei ole ka käendus sissenõutav. 

Seoses sellega on Danske Bank A/S esitanud omalt poolt avalduse Arco
Investeeringute AS-i pankroti väljakuulutamiseks. 

Arco Investeeringute AS jääb seisukohale, et alus käenduse sissenõudmiseks
puudub ja vaidlustab pankrotiavalduse. 

Arco HCE OÜ osalus jaguneb võrdselt Arco Investeeringute AS-i ja Ahtrimaa OÜ
(endise nimega U.S. Real Estate Management OÜ) vahel.

Title

Danske Bank files a bankruptcy petition against Arco Investeeringute AS

Message

On 4 February 2013, Arco Vara announced to the stock exchange that in order to
recover a loan Danske Bank A/S had initiated enforcement proceedings against
Arco HCE OÜ, which is a 50% joint venture of Arco Investeeringute AS that is a
wholly-held subsidiary of Arco Vara AS. The object of the proceedings was to
exercise a mortgage created for the benefit of Danske Bank A/S on a property
located at Ahtri 3 in Tallinn. 

On 20 February 2013, the court satisfied ARCO HCE OÜ’s application for securing
the action and suspended the enforcement proceedings against the company.
Together with the application for securing the action, Arco HCE OÜ filed an
action against Danske Bank A/S seeking that Danske Bank A/S extend the loan
agreement. 

Since Arco Investeeringute AS has provided a surety guarantee to Arco HCE OÜ’s
bank loan, Danske Bank A/S sent Arco Investeeringute AS a claim for paying out
the guarantee, which extends to 1,917,349.46 euros. 

Arco Investeeringute AS challenged the claim for paying out the surety
guarantee. In simplified terms, the basis for the challenge was that if the
loan cannot be called in, then the surety guarantee cannot be called in either. 

In response, Danske Bank A/S filed a petition for declaring Arco
Investeeringute AS bankrupt. 

Arco Investeeringute AS is of the opinion that there is no basis for calling in
the surety guarantee and intends to challenge the bankruptcy petition. 

The shares in Arco HCE are held, in equal proportions, by Arco Investeeringute
AS and Ahtrimaa OÜ (former name U.S. Real Estate Management OÜ).
