Title

Arco Vara AS loobus arendusprojekti ostuoptsioonist Sofias

Message

Arco  Vara AS sõlmis 2017. aasta  novembris lepingu arendusprojekti omandamiseks
Sofia  äärelinnas, Lozeni  küla lähistel.  Kinnistute omandamise tehingu esimene
etapp,  kogupindalaga 5,3 ha,  viidi lõpule  2018. aasta jaanuaris. Teise etapi,
kogupindalaga 6,8 ha, lõpule viimine pidi toimuma 2020. aasta detsembris.

Seoses  esimese arendusetapi  külmutamise ja  tervishoiu kriisiga  otsustas Arco
Vara  AS loobuda maapanga suurendamisest  Bulgaarias. Tehingust loobumisel tasus
Arco  Vara  AS  kokkuleppel  müüjaga  250 000 eurot  lepingust  taganemise tasu.
Kinnistu müüjal ei ole lisanõudeid Arco Vara AS-i vastu.

?Peame   tarvilikuks   Arco   Vara  arendusmahtude  kasvu  Bulgaarias  kasvatada
pikaajaliselt  ja lineaarselt.  Käesoleva tehingu  lõpule viimine tänase maailma
situatsioonis  oleks tähendanud eksponentsiaalset kasvu Bulgaaria turul ja grupi
märgatavat   äririski   tõusu  Iztoki  projektiga  toimunu  valguses.  Tehingust
loobumisel  jääb Arco Vara omakapitali jaotus ligikaudu 50/50 Eesti ja Bulgaaria
vahel".

Title

Arco Vara AS waived the option to purchase a development project in Sofia

Message

In  November 2017, Arco Vara AS entered into an agreement for the acquisition of
a  development project in the  suburbs of Sofia, near  the village of Lozen. The
first  stage of the  real estate acquisition  transaction, with a  total area of
5.3 ha,  was completed in January  2018. The second stage, with  a total area of
6.8 ha, was to be completed in December 2020.

Due  to the freezing of the first  development stage and the health care crisis,
Arco  Vara  AS  decided  not  to  increase  the  land  bank  in  Bulgaria.  Upon
cancellation  of the transaction, Arco Vara AS paid a withdrawal fee of 250,000
euros in agreement with the seller. The seller of the property has no additional
claims against Arco Vara AS.

"We  consider it  necessary to  increase the  growth of  Arco Vara's development
volumes  in Bulgaria in  the long term  and in a  linear manner. Completing this
transaction  in  today's  world  would  have  meant an exponential growth in the
Bulgarian  market and a significant increase in the group's business risk in the
light   of  what  happened  to  the  Iztok  project.  Upon  abandonment  of  the
transaction,  the distribution of  Arco Vara's equity  will remain approximately
50/50 between Estonia and Bulgaria".
