BLACK SEA PROPERTY, FINANCING AND PROGRESS
Black Sea Property's partly owned Bulgarian company
have after extensive negotiations received an offer
from the UniCredit Bulbank where the loan maturity is
restructured from full repayment to the bank in May
2018 to a long term loan financing agreement with 8
years and regular principal repayments. This solution
gives the company flexibility to sell apartments over
time, and optimize management of the resort.
As informed at the extraordinary general assemble on
the 20th of October, there is a timing related risk of
obtaining necessary capital through sale of
apartments, to fund the projected and ongoing
construction process at the resort. After feedback
both connected to the process of selling apartments
and the process of VAT return from the local revenue
agency, the company now envisions as highly probable
that there will be a need for funding to succeed
resort opening for Summer 2017. We estimate that
additional funding will be limited to EUR 2 million.
This capital should be available by the end of January
or early February.
The company evaluates four alternative solutions:
1. Sale of apartments towards existing
shareholders;
2. Sell a right (option) to buy one or more
apartments to a favorable price (with preferential
rights for existing shareholder)
3. Short term loan
4. Direct placement towards existing shareholders;
The board will investigate the different alternatives
further to find the solution that fits the company and
the shareholders in the best possible way. Final
solution could consist of combinations of above
alternatives.
To further strengthen the liquidity, the board has
also agreed to put forward a model where the board
refrains from ongoing board renumeration and only have
a remuneration based on achieved milestones.
When the company has clarified the different
alternatives, there will be a call for extraordinary
General meeting where the defined proposal will be
presented together with a model for remuneration of
the board.
Completion of building "N" goes according to plan,
with the apartments finished in December followed by
installation of lifts and common areas finishing in
January. There are ongoing processes connected to
water & sewage in cooperation with the local town
municipality (Aheloy) as well as the central
government to find an optimal solution. The company
considers the fact that a solution must be in place
the 01st of May at latest to complete the resort as
planned for opening Summer 2017. Delays in this
process could negatively impact the opening of the
resort. The board will inform further about status in
this respect on the forthcoming general assembly.
