"I am happy to announce that we are wrapping up the year with four smaller single asset transactions of grocery assets in our current Nordic markets. In line with our strategy, all the above-mentioned acquisitions are accretive and increase our cash flow earnings capacity per share and I am proud that we have successfully deployed the funds raised in September 2024 both at attractive terms and within a short timeframe. The divestment of a vacated grocery store in Sweden at above book value is an example of the alternative use of our assets and how we are actively working with trimming our portfolio.

It has been a busy week at Cibus, with the announcement of potential transactions totaling approximately 635 EUR million across 6 separate deals. We very much look forward to 2025 and all of us at Cibus wish you Happy Holidays and Season's Greetings!" says Christian Fredrixon, CEO Cibus Nordic Real Estate AB.
