According to the current timetable, the intention is to enter into binding agreements on acquisitions in March 2020.

Nyfosa intends to revert with further information about the acquisition and its financing at the latest when the terms of the acquisition are finally agreed. Nyfosa chooses to announce the intended acquisition due to SBB’s announcement of the letter of intent.

In total, SBB is currently conducting negotiations regarding the sale of several properties and property portfolios for a total value of approximately SEK 11 billion.

“SBB, with a property value of over SEK 70 billion, has attractive assets which these sales clearly show. With these sales, we are preparing SBB for a BBB+ rating,” comments Lars Thagesson, Deputy CEO and COO at Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB.  

Letters of intent have been entered into for two of these sales, whereof one sale corresponds to a substantial part of the total value of approximately SEK 11 billion. Properties that are intended to be sold have a large element of offices. The sales are expected to be executed at levels that exceed the latest valuation with 15 per cent. In accordance with the current timetable, the intention is to enter into binding agreements during March 2020.

The sale proceeds will be used to repay bank loans.

SBB discloses its intention to carry out these sales, due to the fact that letters of intent covering sales of SEK 10 billion have been entered into as at today’s date.
