Plaza Centers N.V. (“Plaza" or the “Company"), a leading emerging markets property developer, announces it has successfully completed the sale of its 50% interests in a vehicle which mainly holds interests in an office complex project located in Pune, Maharashtra. The transaction values the assets collectively at €33.4 million and, as a result, Plaza has received gross cash proceeds of circa €16.7 million in line with its holding. Ran Shtarkman, President and CEO of Plaza Centers N.V., said: “In line with our strategy and disposal programme, I am happy to announce our first exit in India. The sale of this 50% stake represents what we hope will be the first in a number of future additional realisations for the Company as we look to recycle capital from stabilized completed projects and non-core assets both in CEE and India, allowing us to reduce leverage. We will continue to progress with our intensive asset management initiatives at our other assets both in CEE and India, with a key focus on attracting new tenants and enhancing the leisure and retail mix, thereby creating additional capital value and income growth."
