EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
MSPC President Mr. Brito stated regarding the joint venture: "This joint venture agreement will give Metrospaces direct access to some of Proideas private equity deals not just in real estate, but also in middle-market companies across different industries. Additionally, Proideas will work with us in financing and execution of our Ikal Lodge and Wine, as well as our hotel projects in Venezuela. Proideas has been involved in over $100 million in direct financing, investment banking and M&A activities in the last 8 years and is considered a predominant player in the private equity industry in Argentina. It's quite an opportunity to join forces with this exciting group of professionals. As it's well-known, Argentina has up-and-coming presidential elections that will more than likely bring a more market-friendly administration, and this agreement positions ourselves in the country, before an expected upturn in the Argentinean economy. We will immediately start reviewing deals on which we can act upon."
MSPC President Mr. Brito regarding the acquisition stated: "Our original agreement with project owners was for an acquisition under a JV agreement, were Metrospaces acquired ownership rights after execution of the development of the hotels. Under these new agreements, Metrospaces is now a property owner in both projects. This will add further shareholder value by adding significantly to our net assets. Additionally, our ownership stakes are no longer subject to execution of development. This gives us additional options such as the right to flip the investment before we execute full construction and stabilization of the hotels. As the political tides change in Venezuela for more business-friendly governments, we are happy to give ourselves even more options for realizing our investment in these projects. Our main objective is to develop and manage these projects, however, the market could turn much higher, and thus offer us other options which we will carefully analyze in due time.”
