BLACK SEA PROPERTY AS - REFINANCING OF BANK DEBT - UPDATE ON CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
As stated in stock exchange notice on 21 November
2016, the partially-owned company in Bulgaria of Black
Sea Property AS ("The Company") had received an offer
from their bank to extend the term maturity to 8
years. This offer has now been signed, and this means
that the loan of MEUR 7.5 will be repaid over 8 years.
The first instalment will be paid in December 2017 and
will be EUR 500,000. The following instalment payments
will then be MEUR 1 per year. In connection with the
refinancing, the Company has undertaken to pay EUR 300
per square meter on the sale of apartments as
instalment payment. Overall, this gives a long-term,
partial financing and the Company can thus focus on
the completion of the resort in Aheloy.
As previously announced, the Company requires
additional financing of up to MEUR 2.5. This liquidity
requirement was intended to be financed with the
reimbursement of VAT and the sale of apartments. These
processes have unfortunately been delayed, and the
company therefore needs an infusion of liquidity of
between MEUR 2 - 2.5 that must be committed before the
end of February 2017.
After evaluating various options, the Board has chosen
to offer shareholders the opportunity to buy options
on one or more apartments on favourable terms through
our partially-owned company in Bulgaria. Under this
model, shareholders wishing to buy an apartment pay a
certain amount (option premium) upon signing the
contract and the remaining amount of the purchase
price upon acquisition. Final information on this
offer will be given in the first half of January 2017.
The options will be sold for a limited period. The
Company sees this as a good opportunity to combine the
Company's need for capital with the possibility of
offering the purchase of apartments to shareholders.
After the expiration of the offer period for the
purchase of options (which is expected to end in mid-
February 2017), the Board believes that it is
necessary to raise additional funds through a pre-
emptive rights shares issuance (which is expected to
be concluded by the end of February 2017).
