Press release
Peach Property Group repays EUR 50 million bond
Zurich, 1 July 2016 - Peach Property Group, an investor specialising in the
management of residential property in Germany, yesterday repaid the corporate
bond of its German subsidiary Peach Property Group (Deutschland) AG (ISIN
DE000A1KQ8K4) with a nominal amount of EUR 50 million on schedule. The final
amount outstanding of EUR 46.7 million was repaid from the cash flow from
operating activities. This resulted from Peach Property Group's successful asset
management over the past few years, in particular from the sale of the Gretag
site in Regensdorf by Zurich and the commercial property "Erkrath Retail" by
Düsseldorf. It was thus possible to repay the bond without having to take out
new borrowing. The balance sheet ratios have improved as a result, as the
Group's liabilities have fallen substantially with a simultaneous reduction in
total assets. In addition, financing costs have fallen significantly. Details
will be announced in the 2016 six-month financial statements, which will be
published on 24 August 2016.
The 6.6% bond was issued in July 2011 and was listed in the Entry Standard on
Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Shares of Peach Property Group (PEAN, ISIN
CH0118530366) and the hybrid bond (PEA15, ISIN CH0305711647) are listed on the
SIX Swiss Exchange.
Dr. Marcel Kucher, Chief Financial Officer with Peach Property Group, commented:
"The repayment of the EUR bond from our operating cash flow is a milestone in
our company's growth. This means that our equity ratio has increased again
significantly and we are now in an ideal position to enjoy further profitable
growth on this basis."
