Aroundtown continues to achieve progress on multiple fronts
AT started 2017 strong with substantial year-over-year development and with important strategic initiatives in the pipeline. On June 2, 2017, the Company's shares were uplisted to the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.Additionally,AT is in process of re-domiciling the corporate seat to Luxembourg and continuing as a Luxembourg corporation, expected to be completed in the coming months. These transitions reflect the growth of the Company as a whole and are expected to further increase market visibility, the liquidity and tradability ofAT's shares, and facilitate the expansion of the investor base through a larger investor pool.Additionally, these milestones will provide opportunities for inclusion in major European stock indices, such as the DAX family and EPRA indices, and follows last month's uplisting to the Prime Standard ofAroundtown's strategic investment, Grand City Properties SA.
Asolid and diversified capital structure serving as a base towards continued growth
The strong growth experienced byAT in recent years is supported by a strong and well balanced capital structure and backed by conservative financial policies, with a current LTV of 33% on a pro forma basis. Having already established access to various European equity and debt markets,AT has now also successfully accessed Asian capital markets with the issuance of USD 450 million straight bonds, as the Company's visibility among global investors continues to grow. To solidify the existing equity base,AT issued equity capital totaling EUR426 million in May 2017 and successfully converted the EUR450m convertible bond Series B into additional fresh equity. This resulted in a pro forma LTV of 33%.
