Correction: Pandox AB (publ) divests 8 hotels in Sweden for MSEK 850


Correcting headline to 8 hotels (from 18 hotels)
Pandox has signed an agreement with Midstar AB to divest eight hotel properties
with a total of 965 rooms in Sweden. The acquisition price amounts to MSEK 850,
after deduction of deferred tax, where the buyer acquires the shares in each
respective property owning company. The transaction is expected to close 31
March 2016. The hotel properties are included in the reporting segment Property
Management.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Midstar AB to divest these
eight hotel properties. The transaction is in line with Pandox’s strategy to
continuously develop and optimise the hotel portfolio with focus on larger full
-service hotels in strategic locations”, says Anders Nissen, CEO at Pandox.

The acquisition price amounts to MSEK 850, after deferred tax where the buyer
acquires the shares in each respective property owning company. The purchase
agreement includes a rental guarantee from Pandox in favour of the buyer for
three years. The purchase price substantially exceeds the book value of the
properties per 31 December 2015. The realised value change, after provision for
expected payment of guaranteed rent and including reversal of deferred tax of
MSEK 59, is estimated to MSEK 160 in the first quarter 2016.

The hotels’ total net operating income for 2015 amounted to approximately MSEK
50. The transaction is expected to close and the buyer accessing the hotels 31
March 2016, which means net operating profit from the eight hotels are expected
to be included in Pandox results for three months 2016. The hotels are included
in the reporting segment Property Management.

The divested hotels, which are located in regional and smaller central cities in
Sweden, have an average room size of 121 rooms. The hotels are smaller than
Pandox’s average hotel, which means the hotel portfolio‘s average room size
increases from 208 to 214 after the divestment.
