• P-G Persson to step down as CEO of Platzer in 2023

Platzer’s CEO, P-G Persson, said:

-  For the property sector and its owners, the shortage of capital market financing is the most serious short-term consequence of the changes in the global environment. For Platzer the situation is far from acute, thanks to our low proportion of capital market financing and our MTN programme, the first maturity date of which is in November 2024. We have a loan-to-value ratio of 40%, most of our loans are with banks, there are no cross-ownership issues that could trigger events beyond our control, we have stable, long-term shareholders and as we enter the next quarter our balance sheet is stronger than ever.

-  We achieved positive net lettings in the office, industrial/logistics and project property segments in the quarter, which meant that 2022 remains the single best year in terms of net lettings during my time as Platzer’s CEO.

-  In the quarter we completed building right sales previously agreed as part of the first phase of building right transactions in Södra Änggården and Gamlestadens Fabriker at an underlying property value of SEK 688 million. Although the disposals had previously been accounted for as unrealised increases in value, completion of the sales resulted in a welcome injection of cash and cash equivalents.

-  At the end of August I announced that I would be stepping down as CEO at the Annual General Meeting in March 2023. Stepping down as CEO of Platzer after 15 years feels both entirely natural and at the same time a little strange. It has been an incredibly enjoyable journey, with the Company having evolved from a small, unlisted property company to one of the leading listed property companies in Gothenburg. I am hugely grateful to the owners, the Board of Directors and my colleagues for the trust they have placed in me over the years as we have implemented the growth strategy that has taken the Company to where we are today. I am not taking up a new job and will continue my work at Platzer as usual until the Annual General Meeting in 2023, after which I look forward to following Platzer’s continued journey of growth from a slight distance. (Recruitment of a new CEO is underway.)
