GOTHENBURG, Sweden, April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --  Castellum's ambition is to further strengthen its profile as a commercial real estate company featuring low financial risk. The Board has therefore decided to change current financial policies and decrease the net loan-to-value ratio: not to exceed 50% on a sustained basis – from the current level of 55%.

Furthermore, current restrictions limiting the share of capital-market financing to a maximum 75% of outstanding interest-bearing liabilities will be discontinued. In addition, the Board will introduce a new restriction concerning secured financing. Here, the objective is to limit the ratio of outstanding commercial papers and secured loans to a maximum of 25%, relative to total property values. Besides the above, Castellum financing objectives and restrictions remain unchanged.

This information is information that Castellum is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact persons set out below, at 15:00 am CET on April 25, 2018.
