Main focus areas going forward

  • The Management is proactively seeking to sell further properties and it expects further disposals.
  • To make the plots sellable, the Company is seeking to add incremental value to the individual plots during the period in which they are part of the Land Bank up until a potential sale is completed. The various forms of adding value include upgrading of planning permission as well as maintenance of plot surfaces, buildings, fencing and similar.
  • Management will also attempt to create income from the plots in its Land Bank by renting out to third parties for commercial use, structured in a way so it does not prevent or interfere with an eventual sale of the plots.
  • Actively communicate with existing and new owners of the Company.

Thank you
