Loan restructuring by Polish Associate
First Property Group plc (AIM: FPO), the property fund manager
and investor, is pleased to report that it has restructured the
loan secured against Galeria Corso, a shopping centre in
winoujście, Poland, in which the Group is a 29.09% shareholder.
winoujście is a popular holiday destination on Poland's Baltic
coastline, close to its border with Germany. Galeria Corso is
centrally located within the town. It comprises some 10,000 m(2) ,
is fully let and trades well.
The property was valued at EUR25 million as at 31 March 2023
(versus a purchase price of EUR23.9 million in 2016). As part of
the terms of the loan restructuring, the loan expiry date was
extended by 7 years and the loan size increased by some EUR600,000.
The loan to value ratio is around 50%.
Ben Habib, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
To be able to refinance a shopping centre in these difficult
markets and secure a cash release is a testimony to the strength of
the shopping centre, which has come through lockdowns in very good
shape.
