East Capital: East Capital acquires Metro Plaza office centre in Tallinn

Commenting on the acquisition, Kestutis Sasnauskas, Head of East Capital
Private Equity and Real Estate, said:

“Our acquisition of Metro Plaza is another investment that illustrates the
attractiveness of the Baltic real estate sector. The combination of a high
yield level and favourable financing terms creates attractive investment
opportunities in this market.”

Madis Raidma, Real Estate CEO at East Capital added:

“Through this transaction, East Capital Baltic Property Fund II acquired a
well-known A-class office building in CBD Tallinn. With this purchase, East
Capital’s total real estate assets under management increase to €284 million,
250,000 square metres and 500 lessees in all three Baltic countries. This
