PRESS RELEASE

LAMDA Development S. A. announces the substitution of the “Hatzikyriakeio” to Zara Hellas S.A.

LAMDA Development announced the completion of the substitution of the 4K Company (25% participation by LAMDA Estate Development) with Zara Hellas S.A., in the Concession Contract between 4K Company and Hatzikyriakeio Foundation for the listed building of the Foundation, located in the centre of Athens.

The agreement has transpired within the framework of good relations that have been previously developed between LAMDA Development and Zara, as the two companies are working closely with one another on major investments in the sector of commercial and leisure centres, such as the Mediterranean Cosmos Centre in Pylea, Thessaloniki.

The Hatzikyriakeio listed building is located in the centre of Athens, at the intersection between Stadiou and Koraes streets. The 4K Company had undertaken the renovation and conversion of the Hatzikyriakeio into a modern building complex with retail and office space, covering a total surface area of 4,000 m2.

LAMDA Development is continuing steadily toward the implementation of the company’s €700 million investment programme, which includes a sizeable portfolio amounting to 500,000 m2 of buildable surface area both in Greece and abroad.
