Significant events after the end of the reporting period

  • The Kölvallen project was sold to a fund managed by Foresight Group LLP in July 2022. The total consideration from the divestment of the project amounts to approximately EUR 100 million, of which EUR 75 million is fixed and was paid on closing. EUR 25 million is variable consideration payable upon completion of the construction of the project. The divestment is expected to have a positive impact on earnings of approximately EUR 90 million in total over the years 2022 to 2025, of which approximately EUR 65 million will be realised at closing. The variable portion of the consideration to be realised is dependent upon how construction of the project progresses in relation to programme and budget. Furthermore, Arise will manage the construction and, once operational, manage the project on behalf of Foresight through construction and asset management agreements. In connection with the transaction, Arise shall invest approximately EUR 17 million in to the Project and thereby acquires approximately 9% equity stake in the Project, which aligns well with Arise’s ambition to become a more dynamic developer, focused on maximising the value created via its project portfolio.
