Bent Oustad, CEO, comments on the quarter:

"The quarter was very busy for us, and we set a new record in letting areas. Net rentals of MNOK 87 reflect a good market, and this has significantly reduced the vacancy.

In June, a new 15-year lease was entered into with a public tenant in Snarøyveien 36. The contract covers approximately 12,000 sq.m. with options for additional area and extensions. This is an important step forward for NPRO in the work of developing Fornebu into an attractive area. In this context, we are also pleased that the construction of the Fornebu line continues, which will contribute to sustainable transportation of visitors to and from our properties at Fornebu.

New loan agreements have been entered into with three banks for bilateral credit facilities totaling MNOK 1,890. The new facilities replace previous limits of MNOK 1,200. Term Loan of MNOK 530 has been extended by one year.

NPRO is very pleased that there is a good interest among Nordic banks in financing the company, even at a time when financing is not as readily available as it has been. We work constantly to maintain good and long-term relationships with our financing partners"
