Main focus areas going forward

  • RomReal is focusing on project value enhancing activities in order to maximise shareholder value. This means, among others, increased sales & marketing efforts, if required some infra-structure investments and engaging more resources into regulation processes. The Company expects further properties in the project-bank to be sold during 2018.
  • The Company is fully financed without any external debt, and when/if certain additional disposals are realized, a potential re-distribution of cash to the shareholders should become realistic.

Thank you
