Plaza Centers N.V. (“Plaza” or the “Company”), a leading emerging markets property developer, announces that, further to the reference in Plaza’s 2015 annual report, following an extensive and lengthy legal procedure relating to a transaction agreement undertaken with Klepierre S.A. (“Klepierre”) in 2004, the International Court of Arbitration has ruled that Plaza is liable for an indemnification claim totalling circa €2 million, including costs arising from the legal process. A provision for such amount shall be made in Plaza’s accounts. Since Klepierre is deemed a creditor under the Company’s ongoing Restructuring Plan, payment of the principal amount due by Plaza under the indemnification claim is deferred to July 2018. In the interim, the Company will continue to pursue the legal channels available to it in an effort to minimise the basis for such an indemnification claim.
