Teade

Tallinn, Estonia, 2015-03-26 07:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --


On 25 March 2015, AS Merko Ehitus group company AS Merko Ehitus Eesti and
E.L.L. Kinnisvara AS entered into an agreement on the acquisition of a 100%
holding in OÜ Rannamõisa Kinnisvara and a put option of the shares. 

OÜ Rannamõisa Kinnisvara is a company engaged in development of real estate,
which owns registered immovable properties in Tallinn at Rannamõisa Road and
Kaeravälja Street with a total area of approximately 35 thousand m². The
purpose of the acquisition of the holding by AS Merko Ehitus Eesti is to
develop the properties in question and sell them to a third party. The price of
the 100% holding is approximately EUR 3.3 million, which is to be paid to the
seller after the transfer of immovable properties belonging to OÜ Rannamõisa
Kinnisvara to the third parties but no later than 30 June 2016. 

The Parties have entered into an agreement on an option to resell the 100%
holding. This gives AS Merko Ehitus Eesti the right to resell the holding for
the price that has been paid by the moment of the resale, plus the cost of
acquisition of immovable properties acquired by OÜ Rannamõisa Kinnisvara during
the time it was held by AS Merko Ehitus Eesti, in case such immovable
properties are acquired. The expiration date of the put option is 29 June 2016. 

The transaction is not to be treated as a significant transfer for the purposes
of the “Requirements for Issuers” section of the NASDAQ Tallinn Stock Market
rules, but it is to be considered a transaction with a related party – E.L.L.
Kinnisvara AS is a company controlled by AS Riverito. 71.99% of the shares of
AS Merko Ehitus are owned by AS Riverito. 

As a result of the share transfer and future consolidation of Rannamõisa
Kinnisvara OÜ line by line, the transaction will have an estimated EUR 0
influence on the consolidated profit of AS Merko Ehitus group, and an
increasing influence on assets and liabilities of approximately EUR 3.3
million. AS Merko Ehitus confirms that neither AS Merko Ehitus Eesti nor AS
Merko Ehitus’s management board and supervisory board members are in any way
personally interested in the transaction. 

AS Merko Ehitus Eesti (www.merko.ee) is Estonian leading construction company,
which offers construction services in general construction, civil engineering,
road, electrical and residential construction.
