(“Plaza" or the “Company"), today announces that it has reached an agreement to sell its 46,500 sqm development site in Iasi, Romania in two separate transactions (one for the sale of 37,334 sqm and the other for the sale of 9,166 sqm), for a gross consideration of €7.3 million. There was no bank debt secured against the property.
In line with the Company’s stated restructuring plan, 75% of the net cash proceeds from the transactions will be distributed to the Company’s bondholders by the end of September 2015 as an early principal repayment.
Ran Shtarkman, President and CEO of Plaza Centers N.V., said:
“Following the disposal of sites at Targu Mures and Hunedoara in Romania towards the end of last year, and the more recent exit from the Indian shopping and entertainment centre, this is yet another step forward in our efforts to dispose of non-core investments, reduce leverage and concentrate on the core assets in our main geographies."
