– Sound financial structure, with a net leverage ratio (Net LTV) of 37.4%, a weighted average loan term of 7.1 years and an average borrowing cost of 2.8% and resilience to future interest rate hikes as a result of the Common Bond Loan (approx. 60% of existing borrowing with a fixed interest rate of 2.8% for the next 5 years),
– Strong shareholding and significant available funds to finance the investment program, and
– Conversion to Real Estate Investment Company legal format that will allow the Group to operate more effectively in the real estate market utilizing the relevant tax advantages.
