Storm Real Estate ASA 24 June 2020
This presentation contains forward looking information, which is based on assumptions, analysis, views and opinions. Actual future outcome may differ significantly from assumptions. As such, information in this presentation is subject to significant uncertainty. This presentation must be read together with the company's annual report for 2019 and announcements published on www.newsweb.no, under the ticker "STORM".


As outlined in the company's annual report, Storm Real Estate ASA (the "Company" or "SRE") is in a challenging financial situation:

The company's annual report does also comment on the corona virus crisis:
"Since its financial crisis in 2014, Russia has had a slow recovery, especially due to international sanctions. If the corona virus, currently affecting the whole world including Russia, triggers another financial crisis it is likely that the following recovery will also be slow. The Gasfield building's ability to adapt to rapid changes and its diversified tenant base, suggests that the building is better prepared than many of its competitors for what that might come. However, a new financial crisis in Russia will likely have a severe negative effect on the Group's rental income. Currently, the crisis has had little effect on the occupancy and the rental income. However, we are experiencing that some of the tenants are struggling with their rental payment. The liquidity in the Russian subsidiary is considered sufficient to handle these cases at the moment."
Currently, the situation is unchanged – the occupancy is still high and most tenants are able to pay their rent. However there is high uncertainty related to the outcome of the crisis, especially the future rental rates and occupancy in our area.

After the publication of the annual report, the Company entered into a new standstill agreement with Swedbank-.
Public announcement, 27 May 2020 (https://newsweb.oslobors.no/message/506635):
"Reference is made to previous announcements by Storm Real Estate ASA (the "Company") relating to a conditional agreement with the Company's lender as well as its largest shareholder Aconcagua Management Ltd, latest announcement of 6 March 2020 and the Company's annual report published on 30 April 2020.
As reported, the mentioned agreement has been subject to certain conditions to completion, including inter alia achieving satisfactory terms on financing from another financing source. As it has proved challenging to conclude these conditions within a reasonable time frame, the Company is pleased to report that the parties have today entered into a new standstill agreement, replacing the previous conditional agreement.
The new agreement extends the agreed standstill period to 30 June 2022. During the standstill period, the Company and (provided equal treatment of shareholders is ensured) Aconcagua Management Ltd will have a right to repay and/or purchase the entirety of the outstanding debt for an amount equal to the sum of the USD equivalent of RUB 558 million (at the exchange rate at time of transaction, however not higher than USD:RUB 65) and USD 2.9 million. The Company has not paid interests or amortisation since year-end 2019. The continued standstill remains subject to certain continuing conditions, including inter alia absence of certain events of default (e.g. not including non-payment or financial covenants). As part of and as a condition for the standstill, the Company has also agreed and undertaken that all available cash shall be paid as interests on the loan, starting 30 June 2020.
The new agreement provides prolonged stability for the Company to seek to conclude a sustainable debt level and capital structure.
Current occupancy in the Gasfield building is 92%, divided on 75 lease agreements."

Balance sheet as at 31 December 2019:


According to the latest standstill agreement with Swedbank, the Company and/or Aconcagua Management Ltd have a right to repay and/or purchase the entirety of the outstanding debt for an amount equal to the sum of the USD equivalent of RUB 558 million (at the exchange rate at time of transaction, however not higher than USD:RUB 65) and USD 2.9 million (the "exit price"). Given the current USD:RUB rate (above 65) this amount is equal to approximately USD 11.5 million. The Company has until 30 June 2022 to secure the financing of the exit price.
