On April 27, 2023, the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company's shareholders decided to distribute a dividend of a total amount of € 3.7 million, i.e. € 0.1046 per share (net), from the profits of the fiscal year 2022 and previous years, which was paid to the beneficiaries on May 5, 2023.

The CEO of the Company, Mrs. Anna Apostolidou, stated that "the main goal of the Company for 2024 is the completion of the agreement with Intercontinental International R.E.I.C. as published on 23.02.2023. The Company continues the development of its portfolio with the addition of a second storage and distribution building (KAD 2) with an area of 19.236 sq.m. in the Logistics Park of Aspropyrgos - Attica, which is expected to be delivered in the 3rd quarter of 2024, the expansion of the hotel complex in Paros and the construction of a new office property of 2.424 sq.m. with LEED certification on 42 Poseidonos Avenue in Kallithea. At the same time, we are trying to properly manage the large increase in interest costs that reduces the final return on real estate investments."

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the first semester ended on June 30 2023 will be posted on the website of the Athens Stock Exchange (www.helex.gr) and on Company's corporate website (www.briqproperties.gr) on Monday September 18st, 2023.
