TIDMLCSR LEWIS CHARLES ROMANIA PROPERTY FUND LIMITED AIM: LCSR Lewis Charles Romania Property Fund sells its Ploiesti Retail Development Project to Blackpearl Property Lewis Charles Romania Property Fund ('LCSR' or 'the Company') announces the sale today of S.C. Retail Park Magnolia S.R.L. ("Magnolia") which was a subsidiary of the Company and which holds a prime retail site in Ploiesti , Romania at which it is planned to develop the Zenith Project ("the Project"). Although the Project is at an advanced stage of planning, it has not been possible, despite significant efforts, to secure development finance for the construction of the scheme in the current financial markets. The Board has, accordingly, carefully reviewed the available options. They have concluded that the future of the project will be best progressed through the disposal of Magnolia and in turn this will de-risk the exposure for LCSR whilst preserving as much of the potential opportunity afforded by the Project as possible for shareholders. Consequently, the Board has agreed the sale as recommended by the Fund Managers, which has been achieved by disposing of all of the shares in Magnolia to Blackpearl Property Limited ("Blackpearl") for a nominal consideration. Under the arrangement, LCSR has entered into a profit sharing agreement with Blackpearl, where it is entitled to receive 50% of the future profits from the Project. Two of the Fund Managers will join the Board of Magnolia to represent the Company's interests. The Company retains no liabilities in connection with Magnolia, including in respect of the EUR 3.63 million of third party debt within Magnolia, nor does it have any further future funding obligations with regard to the Project. LCSR has an existing relationship with the development team of Blackpearl Property, who have a joint venture residential development at Mogosoaia, Bucharest. In addition, Blackpearl and its fellow investors hold a substantial property portfolio in Romania, comprising developments in Central Bucharest, Ploiesti, Baia Mare, Ghimpati and Targu Mures. Their sister company, Alchemy Development Management, has an established office in Bucharest, Romania with experienced architectural, legal, development, project management and finance teams. Blackpearl has links with a number of financial institutions in Romania and successfully secured funding for the initial development stage of the Mogosoaia residential project. Blackpearl currently intends to continue the development of a retail project in phases, thereby de-risking the Project and rolling it out in accordance with market demand. Magnolia has been held on the Company's balance sheet at cost of EUR 19.792 million. This is comprised of an equity investment in Magnolia of EUR 6.0 million which will be written off and loans to Magnolia of EUR 13.792 million, which it is expected will be provided against in full in the accounts. Any profits due to the Fund under the profit share arrangements will be used to repay the outstanding EUR 13.792 million loan to Magnolia. Accordingly it anticipated that the Company's next published accounts will reflect a charge of the full EUR 19.792 million. The board is nevertheless hopeful that the build- out of the Project over the next few years will see a significant part of this value being recaptured. Westhill SRL ("Westhill") was previously appointed to manage the development on behalf of Magnolia, and this contract has now been terminated.
