Closing an acquisition at Balaton

 

  • Appeninn on Thursday said it closed the acquisition of 74.99pc of Pro-Mot Hungaria, a joint holding of Israeli property developers Shikun + Binui and AFI Group which owns a resort on Lake Balaton,for a consideration of EUR 14.2m on January 28. During the summer of 2018, the company signalled that it purchased a majority share of a real estate developer, and via that has access to large lakefront property. This transaction has been finalized and closed lately.

 

  • With the transaction, Appeninn acquired 37 hectares of lakefront property that comprise Club Aliga, a former resort for officials of the Hungarian Socialist Worker's Party, as well the trusteeship for another 10 hectares attached to the resort.

 

  • Regarding the transaction value, it mounts to EUR 14 million according to the statement. Although the financing side is yet to be clear, Appeninn should have had ca. EUR 9 million own sources to fund by the end  of 2018 (had EUR 5 million cash on its BS in 2018H1 and further cash flow from operation in H2), leaving the remain part of the transaction financed by debt (ca EUR 6 million). With this additional debt, Appeninn leverage (LTV ratio) should hover around 55% around its guided figure.
