  • Chinese Corporate Acquisitions in Sweden: a Survey Jerker Hellström, Oscar Almén, Johan Englund
    Chinese corporate acquisitions in Sweden: A survey Jerker Hellström, Oscar Almén, Johan Englund Main conclusions • This survey has resulted in the first comprehensive and openly accessible compilation of Chinese corporate acquisitions in Sweden. • The audit has identified 51 companies in Sweden in which Chinese (including Hong Kong) companies have acquired a majority ownership. In addition, the survey has identified another 14 minority acquisitions. • Zhejiang Geely’s acquisition of a minority stake in Swedish truck-maker AB Volvo was among the largest Chinese acquisitions completed in Europe and North America in 2018. • Through these acquisitions, Chinese investors have taken control of at least some one hundred subsidiaries. • Most of the identified acquisitions were made since 2014. The highest annual amount of acquisitions was recorded in 2017. • The majority of the acquired companies belong to the following five sectors: industrial products and machinery, health and biotechnology, information and communications technology (ICT), electronics, and the automotive industry. • For nearly half of the acquired companies, there is a correlation between their operations and the technology sectors highlighted in the “Made in China 2025” plan for China's national industrial development. The sectors included in the plan are of particular importance to the Chinese state. • This survey includes several companies that have not been identified as Chinese acquisitions in previous compilations of Chinese investments. • More than 1,000 companies have reported to Sweden’s Companies Registration Office that their beneficial owner is a citizen of either China or Hong Kong. For the majority of these companies, however, the Chinese ownership is not a result of an acquisition.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Wereldhave sells Itis and exits Finland Wereldhave has reached agreement to sell the Itis shopping centre in Helsinki to a fund advised by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing (MSREI). With this transaction, Wereldhave has made a large step in realising its strategic agenda to focus on convenience centres, whilst improving its risk profile and strengthening the balance sheet. The net price for the shopping centre including the deferred tax liability amounts to € 450m. This reflects a gross price of € 516 million which is 8.5% below the book value at 30 June 2018. The transaction is scheduled for December 2018, subject to completion of the Finnkino development project and antitrust approval. After completion, Wereldhave’s portfolio will be strongly focused on one asset class, with 29 convenience shopping centres in Belgium (7), France (6) and the Netherlands (16). As Itis accounted for 15% of the portfolio, the single asset exposure will decrease to 7%, which improves the risk profile of the Company. Once the disposal of Finland is completed, the LTV is expected to drop by 6%, thus significantly improving the capital structure of Wereldhave. As a result of the completion of the transaction and the associated loss of rental income in December, Wereldhave expects the direct result for 2018 to be between € 3.30 and € 3.35 per share (previously € 3.33 and € 3.38). The dividend can and will be maintained at the current level of € 2.52 in respect of 2018 and 2019. PRESS RELEASE, 18 October 2018 Conference call / webcast Wereldhave will host a brief presentation on this transaction at 10:30 AM CET today through a conference call and webcast.

The new multiplex will be Oslo’s and Norway's largest and will also be the first multiplex in Norway with an IMAX® cinema, the world’s most immersive moviegoing experience. SF Kino has previously taken over the operation of the Ski Kino center, just outside of Oslo. The next step is that SF Kino opens a multiplex in the Storo Shopping mall. “Nordic Cinema Group has a strategy to grow, primarily in existing markets, in large and medium cities with population growth. That we now take over the operations of Ski and plan to open a multiplex in Storo are good examples of that we now realize our strategy.” says Nordic Cinema Group CEO Jan Bernhardsson. SF Kino has also partnered with IMAX and the multiplex in Storo will be the first in Norway, which has an IMAX® cinema. Movies will appear on an IMAX screen, the size of a three-storey building. IMAX’s cutting-edge projection system, which delivers crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, creates a unique environment. “Nordic Cinema Group is a top-notch exhibitor that shares our passion for delivering premium entertainment experiences.
