As set out in the latest published half-year accounts the performance of the Company has been satisfactory and liquidity is positively affected by the large fall in interest rates in Sweden, but the general decline of the Swedish property market is expected to have an impact for the Kefren Properties IX group's portfolio valuation. The Senior Bank has on this basis, announced that they expect that the Company will not be able to fulfil the loan agreement's condition of how big the loan must be, relative to the market value of the property portfolio (Loan-to-Value) when this, according to the senior loan agreement, is determined on the 28th October 2009. The Company is in close dialogue with the Senior Bank with respect to finding a long-term solution, that will minimise the risk of breaching the loan agreement's condition on Loan-to-Value, and has at the same time with the announcement regarding an expected breach, received a stand still letter whereby the senior bank agree not to take any action until 5th January 2010, so that the Senior loan cannot in this period be terminated due to non-compliance of the Loan-to-Value breach. The Company will use the period until the 5th January 2010 to try to find a long term solution. If the expected breach of the Loan-to-Value condition occurs, when determined on the 28th October 2009, funds will not be released for the payment of interest on the bonds issued by the Company as long as there is a breach. The consequence will be that the Company cannot make the interest payment on the 31 October 2009 on the bonds issued by the Company. However, the Company still has an obligation towards the bondholders in relation to the unpaid interest. The bonds issued by the Company are: ISIN: DK0030039300 Nominal value (DKK): 740.000.000 The Board of Directors Please address questions relating to this Notice to Chairman Ole Vagner on telephone +45 40254113 or via e-mail ole@vagner.dk.
