First Property Group plc
New investment by the Group in Poland
First Property Group plc (AIM: FPO), the property fund manager and investor, announces that it has, in conjunction with a club of investors, agreed to acquire Pilot Tower, a recently built class A office building in Krakow, Poland, at a total cost of some EUR23 million. Completion of the acquisition, which is unconditional save for it being subject to receiving a ruling on the tax treatment of the transaction, is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2017.
The net operating income being generated by the property is currently EUR1.9 million per annum, equating to a net initial yield on purchase of 8.3% per annum.
The acquisition will be part funded by a bank loan of up to EUR15.9 million and cash of approximately EUR7.5 million. The cash has been committed by two family offices, a Cambridge college, and other clients of First Property. Included within this the Group intends to co-invest EUR1.5 million pari-passu with other investors.
The investment is forecast to earn a pre-tax profit of EUR1.16 million per annum, of which the Group's share, which will be accounted for as an associate, should be EUR230,000 per annum. This equates to a pre-tax rate of return on equity invested of more than 15% per annum.
The Group will also earn ongoing management fees of circa EUR220,000 per annum. In addition it will earn a one-off arrangement fee of EUR220,000.
Commenting on the new investment, Ben Habib, Group Chief Executive, said:
"I am very pleased by the investment made by our clients and ourselves in this striking new office building in Krakow, Poland. It is in a prime location, boasts state-of-the-art facilities and is fully let at rent levels that offer room for growth in due course."
