Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR. Orascom Development signs CHF 175 million syndication loan for O West project Altdorf, 6 November 2023 – Orascom Development Holding AG, through its subsidiary Orascom for Real Estate S.A.E (ORE), has signed a CHF 175 million syndicated loan agreement with two local Egyptian banks to finance the further development of the O West project. The loan’s tenor is set over ten years. The loan will be used to partially finance the development of O West and help accelerate the construction of the project phases. ORE has already started handing over units of the first development phase since mid-2023 with plans to deliver more than 1,000 units during 2024. Omar El Hamamsy, Orascom Development’s Group CEO, commented: “We are very pleased to announce the closing of this financing transaction for the O West project. This marks an important milestone in the development cycle of the project and is a testament to the credibility and the strong financial profile of O West as well as a reflection of the confidence in ORE’s ability to deliver on its financial commitments. The loan will support our plan to accelerate the pace of construction and continue the handover program which we already started earlier this year. The loan tenor fits well with the Company's financial profile and development plans.”   About Orascom Development Holding AG: Orascom Development Holding is a leading international developer specializing in vibrant, integrated communities in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
