ALMA MEDIA CARRIES OUT OFFICE AND PRODUCTION FACILITY REDEMPTION IN TAMPERE  

On 24 October 2016 Alma Media gave notice of the interruption option included in the rental agreement for the office and production facility in its use and its intention to redeem the property from DNB Bank ASA on Patamäenkatu 7 in Tampere. The property transaction, which is estimated at EUR 14.5 million, was carried out according to the earlier announcement on 30 October 2017. 

The property is Aamulehti’s old office and printing facility, and it is currently fully rented out. The lease ratio of the property is currently 90 per cent. The gross leasable area of the property is 18,500 sqm. The property will be classified as an investment property according to the IAS 40 standard on Investment Property, and Alma Media will apply to the investment property the acquisition cost model in which the property is valued according the acquisition cost less depreciation, which is based on the property’s financial useful life. The excluded rental expenses from this deal and the new depreciations arising from it are approximately of the same size. The value of the property will be checked as part of Alma Media Group’s regular impairment testing process.
