New fund to develop a multi-storey building in Tallinn

"Evernord Asset Management", an asset management company belonging to the Evernord Group, has set up a new fund that has acquired a plot of land with a detailed plan in the centre of Tallinn and intends to develop it into a multi-storey building for residential and commercial purposes.

"Evernord Real Estate Fund V is a closed-end fund for informed investors.

"The new building will be located in the centre of Tallinn on Tartu Street, within walking distance of the Old Town. There is a strong demand for new housing in this part of the Estonian capital, so the new Evernord Real Estate Fund V will provide an attractive opportunity for investors to invest indirectly in a promising residential and commercial development. The future building will offer unparalleled views of the harbour and the sea. The project will be developed in a strategically attractive location, which is particularly important for real estate investments," notes Jolanta Jurga, Head of Evernord Asset Management.

The building is planned to have more than 16,000 square metres of apartments and office space. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with the closure of the Fund scheduled for 2026-2027, following the sale of the apartments and office space.

Evernord Real Estate Fund V's Tallinn project will also include the company's Estonian partners Novira Capital.

At the beginning of this year, Evernord Asset Management closed its fund Evernord Real Estate Fund II early, following the successful sale of Buroo 31, an office building in Tallinn managed by the fund. The fund had an internal rate of return (IRR) of 14.3%.

Dehidra issues EUR 4 million bond: the company will expand in foreign markets

The financial brokerage firm Evernord has placed a EUR 4 million bond for Dehidra, a producer of freeze-dried products. The largest strawberry grower in the Baltics and one of the largest producers of freeze-dried products in Northern Europe intends to use the funds raised in the bond issue to expand its operations.

The two-year bond issue by UAB Dehidra was issued to private investors on a private placement basis, with an annual yield of 12% and interest payable semi-annually. The bonds will be redeemed on 10 May 2025.

"We have been working with Dehidra since 2021, when we also issued €4 million worth of Dehidra bonds in two phases. During these two years, the company has strengthened its production capacity, rapidly increased sales and expanded in export markets. The company, which operates in an interesting market, is one of the relatively rare companies in the agricultural sector engaged in high value-added, state-of-the-art production, and is therefore of interest to investors, both for its uniqueness and for its well-appreciated prospects," says Vismantė Šepetienė, Director of Evernord FMI.

According to V.Šepetienė, the issued bonds will soon be registered with the Central Securities Depository "Nasdaq CSD SE".

"After two years of working with Evernord and successfully deploying borrowed funds, we have made significant progress and grown the value of our business. Simply put, we were gaining momentum, so it was only natural to use the bonds again to finance the planned further expansion. We will use the borrowed funds to expand our export geography - we are already present in South Korea, the United Kingdom and Germany, and we intend to expand our export markets to Taiwan and the United States," says Vykintas Misiūnas, Dehidra's CEO.

In 2022, Dehidra's sales revenues amounted to EUR 4.2 million, of which exports accounted for 60%. In 2023, revenues are expected to reach EUR 10 million, with exports accounting for over 80%.

"Dehidra's product portfolio includes freeze-dried fruit and berries, snacks and smoothies. In mid-2022, Dehidra built a modern plant with two freeze-dryers as part of its first expansion phase. The plant is used for freeze-drying and packaging of own-brand Summmer products, UK brand Mixologist's Garden additives for beverages, and products for wholesalers in export markets, used as additives in the food and beverage industry. The company also supplies its own strawberries to major supermarket chains in Lithuania.

In 2024, the company plans to build two more freeze-dryers in addition to the two existing ones, increasing its annual revenue to almost €20 million.

"Dehidra has partnered with DOLE (formerly Total Produce), the world's largest supplier of fruit and vegetables to supermarkets and businesses, to sell Dehidra's produce on the international market.

This week a major transaction took place in Lithuania - the gas transmission system operator Amber Grid and the German energy exchange European Energy Exchange AG (EEX) signed a EUR 6.5 million agreement for the sale and purchase of a 66% stake in the Baltic and Finnish gas exchange GET Baltic Gas Exchange. The transaction was approved by Evernord FMI - as it is well known, under Lithuanian law, company share transactions do not always require a notarial form, and can also be executed by a brokerage firm. We are delighted with the confidence of the counterparties and the opportunity to not only observe a significant transaction on the market, but also to be directly involved in its execution!
