Currently, 12% of Ores is owned by Bankinter and 5,14% by Sonae Sierra.

We are very pleased with this initiative and with our strategic partnership with Bankinter, that will no doubt revitalise Portugal’s capital market as well as the real estate investment market.”

Isabel Ucha, CEO of Euronext Lisbon, highlights: “I would like to congratulate ORES Portugal and Sonae Sierra, together with Bankinter, for listing the first real estate investment company under the new SIGI legal regime, on Euronext Access!

Notes for Editors:

SIGI

SIGI legal framework came into force on the 1st of February 2019, with the approval of Decree-Law no. 19/2019 and a review in September 2019,  which brought a model of REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) into the Portuguese legal framework, by creating the so-called Real Estate Investment and Asset Management Companies (Sociedades de Investimento e Gestão Imobiliária) or SIGI. SIGIs are vehicles designed for real estate investment, with the particularity that the shares representing their share capital must be listed and subject to specific free-floating requirements. Benefitting from its tax transparency regime and further requirements as regards composition of portfolios, limits on indebtedness and mandatory distribution of profits, the SIGI legal framework makes such companies easily recognized and understood by investors.
