Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Frankfurt am Main, December 31, 2003 - AIG International Real Estate GmbH & Co. KGaA ("AIRE") announced today a EUR 23.5 million equity investment in Auto Parts Park, a manufacturing and warehouse facility comprising approximately 92,700 square meters in Lozorno, near Bratislava, Slovakia.
AIRE group companies purchased 100% of the ownership interests in Auto-priemyselny Park s.r.o. ("APP"), a Slovakian limited liability company. APP owns the three buildings on the site and has a 98-year lease on the land. The buildings are currently 100% leased by auto parts suppliers for the nearby Volkswagen manufacturing plant, which manufactures the new VW Tuareg and other models.
The buildings and the land lease held by APP were valued at approximately EUR 57.3 million, and are partially financed by a EUR 34 million 15-year mortgage, which is secured by APPs assets and is non-recourse to AIRE.
The transaction includes a forward contract with the developers of the existing buildings to develop an additional two buildings on the remaining land.
The previous owner and developer of APP was AIG/LINCOLN Eastern Europe (Slovakia and Czech Republics) Limited Partnership, one of the largest property developers in Central and Eastern Europe. The transaction was approved by AIREs Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat), both to authorize an investment of more than 20% of AIREs assets in a single investment and because the seller was an affiliate company of American International Group, Inc.
