Regulatory News:
Mercialys (Paris:MERY) is announcing that on July 30, 2019, it finalized the sale of the Monoprix sites in Saint-Germain-en-Laye and La Garenne-Colombes to a fund managed by Mata Capital.
These assets were sold for around Euro 100 million including transfer taxes, higher than their appraisal value, at a rate that is significantly lower than the average appraisal yield rate of 5.2% for the Company's asset portfolio.
Despite the quality of these assets, Mercialys considered that they were no longer aligned with its criteria for mixed urban development projects.
Alongside this, Mercialys has made significant progress on its other mixed urban development projects, with plans to file building permit applications for the Saint-Denis project in the fourth quarter of 2019, followed by Marcq-en-Barœul in the first quarter of 2020 and the Puteaux project in the second quarter of 2020.
The seller was advised by Rothschild Co and the notary's office Wargny Katz, while the buyer was advised by the notary's office Allez Associés, the law firm Fairway and the technical advisor Etyo.
