MANAGEMENT REPORT

The Board of Directors of The Mall of Cyprus (MC) Plc (the "Company") presents to the members its Management Report and unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the 6 months ended 30 June 2024

Principal activities and nature of operations of the Company

The principal activity of the Company, which is unchanged from last year, is the leasing/granting of rights of use of space of its property, the Shacolas Emporium Park which includes a shopping mall, an IKEA store and other building developments for retail/commercial purposes.

Review of current position, and performance of the Company's business

The Company's revenue for the 6 months ended 30 June 2024 was €9.795.143 compared to €9.613.757 for the corresponding period ended 30 June 2023. The operating profit of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2024 was €7.225.766 (period ended 30 June 2023: €6.301.266).

The net profit for the year after tax amounted to €4.442.866 (30 June 2023: €3.685.582).

At 30 June 2024 the total assets of the Company were €318.223.797 (31 December 2023: €230.884.578) and the net assets of the Company were €115.044.016 (31 December 2023 €119.208.899). The financial position and performance of the Company as presented in these financial statements are considered satisfactory.

Principal uncertainties

The uncertainties faced by the Company are disclosed in note 27 of the condensed interim financial statements

Future developments of the Company

The Board of Directors does not expect any significant changes or developments in the operations, financial position and performance of the Company in the foreseeable future.

Existence of branches

The Company does not maintain any branches.

Use of financial instruments by the Company

The Company is primarily exposed to interest rate risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

Risk management is carried out by Management and approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Company's operating units. The Board provides written principles and / or oral for overall risk management, as well as written and for oral policies covening specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and investment of excess liquidity.

Interest rate risk

The Company's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. Majority of the borrowings as at 30 June 2024 are at variable rates.

As at 30 June 2024, the Company's liabilities which bore variable interest rates amounted to €86.661.698 (2023; €88.713.560). The Company's management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and acts accordingly. The Company does not apply hedge accounting for cash flow interest rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, contractual cash flows of debt instruments carried at amortised cost, as well as credit exposures to tenants, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Credit risk also arises from intragroup guarantee arrangements that the Company participates in.

Management assesses the credit quality of the lessees, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual credit limits and credit terms are set based on the credit quality of the lessee in accordance with limits set by the Board. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

As at 30 June 2024 the Company's credit risk arises from trade and other receivables amounting to €1.204.031 (net. after cumulative expected credit losses of €1.041.379 (2023: €1.380.733, net after cumulative expected credit losses of €763.576) and bank balances amounting to €2.563.386 (2023: €4.881.661)

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Liquidity risk

Management monitors the current liquidity position of the Company based on expected cash flows and expected revenue receipts. On a long-term basis, liquidity risk is defined based on the expected future cash flows at the time of entering into new credit facilities or loans and based on budgeted forecasts. Management believes that it is successful in managing the Company's liquidity risk.

Capital risk management

The Company's objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings minus cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as "equity" as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt. As at 30 June 2024 the Company's net debt amounted to €86.105.200 (31 December 2023: €83.825.510) and total equity of €115.044.016 (31 December 2023: €119.208.899} leading to a gearing ratio of 42,81%% (31 December 2023: 41,29%).

Results

The Company's results for the period are set out on page 6.

Dividends

The Board of Directors does not recommend the payment of a dividend.

Share capital

Refer to Note 19 for an overview of the changes in the share capital during the period under review.

Operating Environment of the Company

A level of uncertainty exists from challenges such as inflationary pressures stemming from geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which might impact the stability of the Cyprus economy. Consequently, making reliable predictions about the ultimate outcomes is challenging, and there exists a possibility of variance between Management's present expectations and the actual results. As discussed in Note 1, the directors are of the view that the Company's going concern status and outlook is not compromised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

1. Incorporation and principal activities

General

The Mall of Cyprus (MC) Plc (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus on 27 November 1971 as a private limited liability company under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. Since 6 August 2010 the Company is listed on the (unregulated) Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange. Its registered office is at 3 Verginas Street, The Mall of Cyprus, Strovolos, 2025, Nicosia, Cyprus.

Unaudited financial statements

The financial statements for the six months ended on 30 June 2024, have not been audited by the external auditors of the Company. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended on 30 June 2024, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Operating Environment of the Company and assessment of Going Concern status

Economic indicators

A level of uncertainty exists from challenges such as inflationary pressures stemming from geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which might impact the future of the Cyprus economy. Consequently, making reliable predictions about the ultimate outcomes is challenging, and there exists a possibility of variance between Management's present expectations and estimates and the actual results. The directors are of the view that the Company's going concern status and outlook is not compromised.

Going concern

Management is of the opinion that the Company's going concern status and outlook is not compromised. Principal factors in support of this conclusion include, but are not limited to:

  • · in order to assess the actual and potential impact on the Company's financial performance and cash flows, management has undertaken a continuous process of reassessing its cash flow and profitability forecasts by incorporating downside scenarios and the risks mentioned above (including breach of covenants) and assessed that the Company will be in a position to continue its normal course of business and to meet its obligations as they become due, for a period of at least twelve months from these financial statements. The reassessment process will be evaluated as changes to the overall operating and economic environment evolve.
  • · the implementation of an all-round plan of managing relationships with tenants (involving a concession scheme and special credit granting arrangements)
  • containment of operational costs t

The potential scenarios which could lead to the Company not being a going concern, along with Management's evaluation, are considered to be:

Not having sufficient cash to meet liabilities as they fall due or meet financing obligations.

With respect to this scenario, although the Company has a negative net working capital position management is confident that the future proceeds from license fees will be sufficient to cover the short-term liabilities.

A non-remedied breach of the financial covenants within the Company's bank facilities

These covenants are applicable to the Company, its fellow subsidiary the Mall of Engomi (ME) Pic and the parent entity Atterbury Cyprus Limited, and are as follows:

· Debt Service Cover Ratio: no fess than or equal to 1.1 times

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

  • · Debt to Equity Ratio: shall not exceed 1.4 times
  • Loan to Value Ratio: shall not exceed 60%

The Company is currently in full compliance with such covenants and expects to remain so. The Company also expects that there should not be any issue concerning the Company's cross guarantee position in favour of its fellow subsidiary, as the latter's position and performance is expected to be sufficient to avoid any unfavourable developments that may burden the entity. Based on the Company's assessment, the main covenants are the debt service cover ratio and the loan to value ratio requirements. Based on the forecasts by Management, there is significant headroom before being at risk of any such breach.

Interruption of operations and worsening of the financial position of tenants

Management acknowledges the possibility that tenants, may in future continue to face such risks. This is an issue that is being appropriately managed with continuous monitoring of the tenants' ongoing situation, and by considering options such as special repaymentterms and temporary concessions.

In order to assess the actual and potential impact on the Company's financial performance and cash flows, management has undertaken a continuous process of reassessing its cash flow and profitability forecasts by incorporating downside scenarios and the risks mentioned above (including breach of covenants) and assessed that the Company will be in a position to continue its normal course of business and to meet its obligations as they become due, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. The reassessment process will be evaluated as changes to the overaling and economic environment evolve.

2. Adoption of new or revised standards and interpretations

During the current period the Company adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2024. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company.

3. Material accounting policies

The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these financial statements unless otherwise stated.

Management seeks not to reduce the understandability of these financial statements by obsouring material information with immaterial information. Hence, only material accounting policy information is disclosed, where relevant, in the related disclosure notes.

Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company's financial statements in the year in which the dividends are appropriately authorised and are no longer at the discretion of the Company. More specifically, interim dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which these are authorised by the Board of Directors and in the case of final dividends, these are recognised in the period in which these are approved by the Company's shareholders.

Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

4. New accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective

Up to the date of approval of the financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published that are not yet effective for the current reporting period and which the Company has not early adopted. The Board of Directors expect that the adoption of these accounting standards and amendments will have no material effect on financial statements of the Company. They are as follows:

(i) Issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union

Amendments to IAS 1 regarding classification of Liabilities as Current (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024

The amendments in Classification of Liabilities as Current (Amendments to IAS 1) affect only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position - not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability income or expenses, or the information that entities disclose about those items.

They clarify that the classification of liabilities as current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the "right" to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place "at the reporting period" should affect the classification of a liability;

They clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and

They make clear that settlement refers to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services

The amendments are to be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted.

Amendments to IAS 1 regarding Non current Liabilities with Covenants (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

In November 2022, IAS 1 has been amended to specify that only covenants an entity must comply with on or before the reporting period should affect classification of the corresponding liability as current or noncurrent.

An entity is required to disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months.

The 2022 amendments deferred the effective date of the amendments to JAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non current published in January 2020 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.

The amendments are applied retrospectively.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Amendments to clarify how a seller lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

in November 2022, IAS 1 has been amended to specify that only covenants an entify must comply with on or before the reporting period should affect classification of the corresponding liability as current or noncurrent.

An entity is required to disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months.

The 2022 amendments deferred the effective date of the amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non current published in January 2020 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.

The amendments are applied retrospectively.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

4. New accounting pronouncements (continued)

(i) Issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union (continued)

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Amendments to clarity how a seller lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions (Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

The amendments require a seller lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities by determining "lease payments" and "revised lease payments" arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller lessee from recognising in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease.

Without these new requirements, a seller lessee may have recognised a gain on the right of use it refains solely because of a remeasurement of the lease liability (for example, following a lease modification or change in the lease term) applying the general requirements in IFRS 16. This could have been particularly the case in a leaseback that includes variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate.

A seller lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application, which is defined as the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applied IFRS 16.

Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability | Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025

The amendments within the Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21) revise IAS 21 to:

  • Specify when a currency is exchangeable into another currency and when it isnot

Rights for use of space and other revenue (continued)

(i) Income from the "Rights of use of space" relates to licensellease agreements that were in effect during 30 June 2024. Income that is derived based on the financial performance of tenants is separately presented under "Additional licence fees" and is deternined as a percentage of the tenants' turnover; as stipulated in their licensellease agreements. Income from the leasing of land relates solely to the rental income earned by the Company from IKEA for the year.

(ii) "Lease related income from tenant contributions" refers to the amortised portion of capital expenditure incurred by the Company on behalf of, and billed to certain tenants, in transforming/enhancing the space occupied in the Mall of Cyprus with individualised features and improvements. The capital improvement is released/amortised to profit or loss over the lease terms of the applicable tenants, arriving at reported income (note 13).

(iii) "Relocation incentives" refer to incentives the Company has granted to tenants, as a result of the recent expansion project in the Mall of Cyprus. The incentives are released/amortised to profit or loss over the lease terms of the applicable tenants, arriving at reported revenue (essentially treated as "discounts") (note 17).

(iv) Lease related expenses from "Discounts granted" relate to the discounts given to tenants by the Company. The discounts were given as a result of the global pandemic Covid-19 and the "strict" lockdown period in Cyprus when all malls and retail centres were closed. For the tenants to have qualified for this discount they had to comply with certain set conditions. The discounts are amortised to profit or loss over the remaining lease term of tenants' contracts from the date the discount was given in accordance with IFRS 16 (i.e. treated as a lease modification). The unamortised amount is presented as a lease receivable in the financial statements (note 17) prior to its reclassification to investment property (note 13).

The investment properties are valued annually at fair value, comprising open market value based on valuations by an independent, professionally qualified valuer. Interim valuations may be conducted if Management considers necessary, for instance, in the event of pervasive events that may have a significant impact on the most recent annual appraisal exercise. If the information is not available, the Company uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices or less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. These valuations are typically prepared annually by independent valuers and reviewed and adopted by management. Changes in fair value are recorded in profit or loss and are included in "fair value gains/(losses) on investment property". In arriving at open market value, Management takes into account any significant impact of lease incentives (such as relocation incentives, conditional discounts to tenants qualifying as rent concessions and any deferred income associated with future benefits accruing to the Company in relation to tenant contributions to the value of investment property) in order to avoid double counting in the Company's assets and liabilities. The adjustment as of 30 June 2024 for the aforementioned incentives, was derived from relocation incentives and unamortised discounts granted to tenants both classified under "other assets" (note 17) as well as from deferred income.

The Company's investment property is measured at fair value. The Company holds one class of investment property being the Shacolas Emporium Park which includes a shopping mall and an IKEA store. During 2023, the Company decided not to proceed with the sale of Annex 4, therefore they were transferred back from assets held for sale to investment property.

Valuation processes of the Company

The Company's investment properties were most recently valued by management as at 31 December 2023. The investment property portfolio is typically appraised on an annual basis.

Management exercises judgment in evaluation uncertainty caused by high levels of inflation and high borrowing costs as well as external risks of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, climate change and the political instability in the Eastern Mediterranean which impacted the scope of the independent valuer's work. The latter's valuation was reported as being subject to 'material valuation uncertainty' as set out in VPGA 10 of the RICS Valuation - Global Standards. This does not equate to lesser or no reliability of the valuation which Management uses for the determination of fair value for financial reporting purposes, but rather provides further insight as to the market context under which the valuation was prepared.

As part of the process for year-end financial reporting purposes, Management took into account the external valuation prepared as at 31 December 2023 by independent professionally qualified valuers Landtourist Valuations LLC, who possess a recognised relevant professional qualification and have recent experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highestand best use. The Company's finance department reviews the valuation performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting purposes. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, Management, and the independent valuers at least once every year. At each financial year end the finance department:

  • · verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation report
  • · assesses property valuation movements when compared to the prior year valuation report; and
  • · holds discussions with the independent valuer.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

13. Investment property (continued)

Bank borrowings are secured on Company's investment property.

Fair value hierarchy

The following table analyses investment property carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

· Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).

· Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).

· Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The fair value measurement for all of the investment properties has a Level 3 fair value measurement, based on the inputs to the valuation technique used at 31 December 2023.

Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs

The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of investment property, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Valuation techniques underlying management's estimation of fair value

The valuation was determined using discounted cash flow projections based on significant unobservable inputs. These inputs include:

Future rental cash inflows Based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and
supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts or external
evidence such as current market rents for similar properties;
Discount rates Reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and
timing of cash flows;
Estimated vacancy rates Based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any
current lease;
Capitalisation rate Based on actual location, size and quality of the properties and taking into
account market data at the valuation date.

19. Share capital and share premium (continued)

On 9 January 2024, the Company proceeded with a restructuring of its share capital by reducing the nominal value of the ordinary shares from €0,50 per share to €0,01 per share. As a result, the authorised share capital was amended to €3.710.000 divided into 371.000.000 ordinary shares of €0,01 each, while the issued share capital was amended to €1.000.000 divided into 100.000.000 ordinary shares of €0,01 each, with the corresponding transfer to capital reduction reserve fund.

On 12 April 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to convene an extraordinary general meeting to approve the issue and allot via private placement 233.683.310 ordinary shares of nominal value €0,01 each, out of the unissued authorised share capital of the Company to Pareto Limited for a total consideration of €89.853.773 that will constitute c. 70,03% of the issued share capital of the Company post issuance. Pareto Limited will discharge its obligations to settle the total Issue Price through an in-kind contribution. After the court approval on 20 June 2024 the share premium and capital reduction reserve was reduced by an amount of €87.516.939 in respect of share premium and €2.629.883 in respect of the capital reduction reserve fund (€90.146.822 in total). The capital reduction will be implemented by a pro-rata return of capital in the amount of €90.146.822 to the existing shareholders of the Company, which can at the election of the board, be settled either in cash or in-kind on 22 August 2024 and in this regard the board has resolved that Atterbury Cyprus Limited will be settled in-kind and the general public in cash.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

20. Borrowings (continued)

The ancillary facility represents the aggregated amount of overdrafts of the Company and its fellow subsidiary, amounting to €2.000.000 and €1.000.000 respectively.

On 10 October 2019, the Bank of Cyprus Public Company Limited syndicated a portion of Facility B (a principal amount of €27.000.000) to Eurobank Cyprus Ltd, as permitted by the agreement, on the same terms and conditions as set out in the facility agreement.

On 9 February 2022, the Company signed an addendum agreement which increased the interest of facilities A and B from 3m Euribor + 3,40% to 3m Euribor + 3,50% while decreasing the monthly instalments, leading to a lump sum at maturity.

On 7 December 2022, the Company signed a restatement of the loan facility agreement decreasing the margin from 3,50% to 3,10% effective for a period of three years, until 15 December 2025 when the margin will return to 3,50%. As a result, a modification loss was recognised at the date of the modification, amounting to €847.116.

On 15 December 2022, an agreement was also signed between the Company in order to cap the 3m Euribor to 2,50% for a period of three years up to 15 December 2025 (note 21) for Facility B.

On 15 November 2023, the Company's loan agreement was restructured whereby €7.500.000 of Mall of Engomi's loan was reduced with a corresponding increase in the loan due by the Company. As a result, a new bank loan, Facility D, with terms substantially similar to its existing bank loans, was obtained by the Company.

The bank has imposed the following covenants, in respect of the Group (defined as the Company, its parent and fellow subsidiary) on the agreement;

· Debt Service Cover Ratio: no less than or equal to 1.1 times

· Debt to Equity Ratio: shall not exceed 1.4 times

· Loan to Value Ratio: shall not exceed 60%

The bank loans (Facilities A, B, C and D) are secured as follows:

a) Atterbury Cyprus Limited guaranteed the loans of the Company up to an amount of €134.400.000.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

21. Deferred tax (continued)

The Company recognises deferred tax attributed to the following:

· Differences between wear & tear allowances and depreciation: The Company recognises deferred tax liabilities at each reporting period end between the assessed disposal value of eligible assets used in the business (property and equipment and buildings under investment property) and their tax written down values, taking into account the result of balancing additions that would arise for income tax purposes. The applicable rate is 12.50%.

· Differences on revaluation of investment property: Land and Buildings classified as investment property, upon disposal would be taxed under the capital gains regime, at the rate of 20%.

· Differences due to discounts to tenants: Deferred tax liability arises based on the full claim during prior years of the corporation tax effect for the entire discounts granted to tenants. The amortisation of the capitalised amounts with respect to such discounts will be over the remaining duration of each corresponding hease agreement (note 17), will be ignored in arriving at future taxable profits, as such a timing difference arises.

"Deposits by tenants" relate to security deposits made by tenants upon the inception of their licensellease agreements. These security deposits will be refunded by the Company to the tenants upon the termination of their lease terms, if all set requirements are met. The Company accounts for these security deposits as a financial liability at amortised cost. Where some licensellease agreements do not stipulate any interest accruing to the tenants' security deposits, the Company applies a market related effective interest rate to account for the finance income and expense element, if evaluated as significant.

"Retentions for construction works on investment property" concern amounts payable to the primary suppliers of construction services for the capital expenditure projects of the Mall of Cyprus, which are temporarily withheld on the basis of a predetermined period after conclusion of the works.

The fair values of trade and other payables (excluding accruals and deferred income) due within one year approximate to their carrying amounts as presented above.

25. Main shareholders and related party transactions

In accordance with IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures", parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party, is under common control, or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Related Parties also include members of the Board and key members of the management. In considering each possible relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form. Related parties may enter into transactions which unrelated parties might not, and transactions between related paties may not be effected on the same terms, conditions and amounts as transactions between unrelated parties.

The Company is controlled by Pareto Limited, incorporated in South Africa, which effectively owns 77,5% of the Company's shares at the reporting date and at the date of approval of these financial statements.

The loans from related parties were provided interest free, and there were no specified repayment dates.

26. Guarantees

The following guarantees were provided to the Company and other related entities as security for its bank borrowings:

a) Atterbury Cyprus Limited guaranteed the loans of the Company up to an amount of €145.290.000.

b) The Mall of Engomi (ME) Plc guaranteed the loans of the Company up to an amount of €145.290.000

27. Contingent liabilities

The Company acts as a guarantor to the bank loan of fellow subsidiary The Mall of Engomi (ME) Plc up to an amount of €23.200.000 and €15.600.000, but limited to the outstanding debt at the time. It is not expected that any loss will result from such guarantees provided by the Company, since the property of the borrower is also pledged as security.

28. Commitments

License fee / operating lease commitments where the Company is the lessor

License fee

The Company's license fee/operating lease income is derived from income from rights for use of space.

Rental income on land assets

The Company entered into an agreement to lease out part of the land owned by it. The lessee constructed on this land a retail outlet (IKEA). The lease term signed is for a period of 14 years and 10 months. At the end of the lease period the lessee has the right to extend the lease term for another 14 years and 10 months and at the end of the first extension the lessee has the right for a second extension of 14 years and 10 months.

Operating leases, in which the Company is the lessor, relate to investment property owned by the Company with varying duration lease terms. Where applicable, operating lease contracts contain market review clauses in the event that the lessee is given an option to renew. Lessees do not have an option to purchase the property at the expiry of the lease period.

The Company is exposed to changes in the residual value of investment property at the end of current lease agreements. The residual value risk born by the Company is mitigated by active management of its property with the objective of optimising and improving tenant mix in order to:

  • achieve the longest weighted average lease term possible;
  • minimise vacancy rates across all properties; and
  • minimise the turnover of tenants of high credit rating and business prospects.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 30 June 2024

28. Commitments (continued)

The Company also grants lease incentives to encourage key tenants to remain in the mall for longer lease terms. In the case of anchor tenants, this also attracts other tenants to the property thereby contributing to overall occupancy levels. Lease agreements generally include a clause requiring the tenant to reinstate the leased space to its original state when the lease expires the tenant decides not to renew the lease agreement. This contributes to the maintenance of the property and allows for the space to be re let on a timely basis once a tenant has departed.

In addition, the Company has a regular capital expenditure plan thoroughly considered by the Asset Management function of the Atterbury Group, to keep properties in line with market standards and trends.

29. Events after the reporting period

The requisite approval to reduce the Company's share premium and capital reduction reserve fund accounts by a pro-rata return of capital in the amount of €90.146.822 to the shareholders that were listed in the register of members on 29 April 2024 were obtained from the District Court of Nicosia and Registrar of Companies. The board resolved that Atterbury Cyprus Limited will be settled in-kind and the general public in cash on 22 August 2024.

There were no other material events after the reporting period, which have a bearing on the understanding of the financial statements.
