Comment from the CEO

D. Carnegie & Co – A focused residential property company with its aim set on continued growth

The first quarter of 2014 has been very eventful for D. Carnegie & Co. After a long period of hard work, the deal that gave the company a new operational direction was finalized and the start of an exciting new phase.

On February 27, we acquired a property portfolio valued at approximately SEK 3 billion from Stendörren. This report thus only include one month (March) with operational activities.

In connection with the acquisition, we became a company with a clear focus on housing and an attractive property portfolio. The sights are from the start set on acquisitions of new properties, but also the refinement of the existing portfolio and the development of interesting projects

– the three cornerstones of our business. The properties are strategically located in the so-called Million Programme areas, and demand for these homes has increased in step with the housing shortage. We feel a strong commitment to contribute to a favourable development of these areas, while we of course also see the commercial potential.

In March, we took the next step when the board approved a listing of the company’s shares on NASDAQ OMX First North, and on April 9 this year, trading began. The share issue completed in connection with the listing raised a total of SEK 690 million before transaction costs, including the overallotment option. Investor interest was very high and the offer was oversubscribed several times in the process giving us 2,700 new shareholders. We are of course grateful for this confidence shown, and as we have many exciting opportunities ahead, we are confident that we can give good returns to our shareholders.

Such a possibility has already appeared. On April 15, we signed a letter of intent to acquire approximately 9.000 apartments from a Norwegian-Swedish fund structure that, if the deal is realized, would make D. Carnegie & Co the largest listed purely residential real estate company in Sweden.

The first quarter was particularly eventful, and we look forward to an exciting continuation of the year.
