Bent Oustad, CEO, says about the quarter:

"Once again, we have had a quarter characterized by high activity in the company. We still experience high demand for the premises and the concepts that we offer. We are also pleased to see that rental contracts have been signed with new tenants or renegotiated with existing tenants in all our core areas: CBD, Fornebu and Nydalen. In total, this will increase our future rental income.

The retail and restaurant areas at Aker Brygge maintain a high level of activity and has passed a record high turnover of MNOK 600 in the quarter. The positive activity in restaurant and retail areas on the ground floor contributes to creating attractive meeting places and office premises. If this trend continues, the turnover-based rent for the year as a whole will be high.

The company has extended a MNOK 680 credit facility by one year and refinanced a MNOK 530 term loan for three years during the quarter. Remaining loans with maturity in 2023 are now limited. Going forward focus will be on refinancing loans with maturity in mid 2024 and beyond. As always, we spend much time on assessing possibilities which will contribute to long term value growth for the company. "
