The disposal includes the logistics business, the residential projects, the offices and land plots that are collectively valued at around EUR 57 mln.
The agreement contains a further provision entitling Orco to 20% of future sales proceeds in the event they exceed the EUR 53 mln. The company has received an initial payment of nearly EUR 8 mln.
Following the deal, Orco in Russia still owns the Pokrovka hotel, which is part of Mamaison Hotels and Residences, and a 10% stake in the Filion shopping centre.
'In a challenging global market and economic situation, real estate assets are showing their resilience, and this transaction is positive for the company and its stakeholders,' said CEO Jean-Francois Ott. Orco will continue to implement its strategy aimed at deleveraging and focusing on its four major cities, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw and Budapest, he added.
