Q & A Highlights
Q: Are there any more non-core assets from the Forum Estates portfolio that Cibus Nordic Real Estate AB plans to divest? A: Yes, there are a few more assets under consideration for divestment. These assets are strong cash-flowing with solid tenants but are non-strategic for Cibus, which focuses on converting food into yield. The decision to sell will depend on the right price being offered. - Christian Fredrixon, CEO
