Another lease contract was entered into with a leading company operating in the energy sector, that needed more spaces in addition to the leased property in Rome.

The Fund’s distributable result for 2013 was equal to euro -7.1 million, net of unrealized capital losses. Consequently, no proceeds will be paid out.

Considering the negotiations underway with the lending banks for the granting of an extension of the outstanding loan, the Board resolved for the time being not to make any unit partial reimbursement.

With reference to what was already announced upon disclosure of the reports at 30 June 2013, the Company continues to carry on the management activities aimed at completing the process for the disposal of the Funds’ assets compatibly with the current term of the residual life of Tecla and Olinda Funds, taking into account the persistent low absorption capacity of the market and the lack of recovery signs in a short term. In this framework, the Company considered – with the support of its authoritative advisors – the opportunity to extend the Funds’ duration and amend the relevant management regulations, also in view of an increased absorption capacity of the respective markets in the next few years. Such approach, that has been analysed based on the real estate rationale with the aim to protect the value of the Fund in the best possible way in the interest of the Fund’s unitholders and creditors, is still under discussion with the Institutions. Though a solution allowing a balanced and systematic management of the Funds is expected to be adopted, should this not occur in the next few months, such circumstance would mean a significant uncertainty about the capacity of the Funds to orderly dispose their real estate assets, with a negative impact also in terms of sale value. Following to the outcome of the discussions on the above issues, the Company will make the most appropriate strategy and real estate valuations for the management of the Tecla and Olinda Funds.
