Reference is made to the announcement by Entra dated 5 November 2021, referring
to Entra being one of several interested parties in acquiring Oslo Areal AS
("Oslo Areal"). Entra is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding
agreement with Gjensidige Forsikring ASA ("Gjensidige") and AMF
Pensionsförsäkring AB ("AMF") to acquire 100 % of the shares in Oslo Areal for
approximately NOK 13.55 bn. The transaction will be financed through existing
and new debt facilities.
Oslo Areal is an owner and developer of office properties in and around Oslo.
The company owns 17 office properties of which 15 are centrally located in Oslo
and two in Sandvika just outside Oslo. The property portfolio totals 222,000 sqm
of gross lettable area and has a significant development potential with ongoing
zoning of up to 95,000 sqm and additional long term development potential of
approximately 45,000 sqm. The office portfolio is currently 94.4 % let with a
WAULT of 4.7 years. 12 months rolling rent is estimated to be around NOK 464
million. The company has 14 employees.
"Oslo Areal is a perfect strategic fit for Entra, both in terms of portfolio
location and its significant inherent development potential. This transaction
enables additional profitable growth and increased shareholder values in Entra
going forward by utilizing our strong balance sheet, says Siri Hatlen, Chair of
the Board in Entra"
"Oslo Areal holds an attractive office portfolio with a project pipeline which
is complimentary to Entra's existing portfolio. We see Oslo Areal as a smaller
version of Entra and the company will significantly strengthen Entra's market
position in Oslo. The transaction will create shareholder and tenant values far
beyond regular single-asset transactions, says Sonja Horn, CEO in Entra".
«We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with Entra. We are convinced
that this will create further room for Oslo Areal's strategic development, says
Helge Leiro Baastad, CEO in Gjensidige".
