Atrium: Atrium European Real Estate Limited, owner, operator and redeveloper of shopping centres and retail real estate in Central Europe, makes the following statement to update shareholders on recent government announcements in response to the COVID-19 virus within the Company's operational jurisdictions. Over the last week, shopping centres within Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have faced government imposed trading restrictions. In all three countries the restrictions exclude grocery stores/supermarkets, pharmacists/ drugstores and other necessity services. Also Russ announced its first internal restrictions in some cities which include banning all outdoor events and limiting indoor gatherings to 50 people. Atrium said it is continuing to monitor announcements by the authorities in allits areas of operation. At present, it is too early to ascertain the full impact these recent government orders, or the COVID-19 pandemic itself, will have on either the Company's business and financial position, or that of its tenants. The Company is also actively prioritising its capex programme to defer non-essential capital expenditure, and, in parallel, reducing its operational expenses in response to these new measures. With a strong balance sheet, a net LTV of 35% and access to credit facilities, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to manage its liquidity needs.
