“Our operations were significantly tested during the last few months when COVID-19 outbreak started in Europe. We closed all our shopping malls for part of March, April and part of May. In order to ensure continuation of operations in our shopping centers, we support our tenants after the re-opening of the shops. That will have a negative impact on both our operations and value of properties which, as we announced earlier, felt by 2.7% recently, which resulted in the lack of compliance with certain financial covenants included in the retail assets loan agreements as of 30 June 2020. We managed to waive the covenants until June 2021 in case of Galeria Jurajska and Ada Mall loans and we entered into the negotiations with the lender of Galeria Północna. However, when we look at the statistics of the shopping malls after the re-opening, they seem to be encouraging.” – commented Yovav Carmi, GTC’s Management Board Member.
“We recommend to the AGM to retain profit from 2019 in the Company to fight the consequences of COVID-19 outbreak but also to be prepared for further development or acquisition activity which will be dependent on the market conditions.” – added Yovav Carmi.
