Seems like there is a Swedish version of the Cielo Mar website now with a new Board of Directors: No Jan but other names are familiar. Like Michael Hylander (Chairman).
Cielo Mar Finans AB (publ) operates within financing of real estate projects and was established in 2013 with the aim of acquiring, managing and developing high returned residential properties on the U.S. Real estate market. In March 2016, however, the then stock of properties to ProGreen Properties Inc. (now ProGreen US Inc.). Compensation amounted to USD 1,555,000 and paid in cash with USD 200,000 and in addition to preference shares worth USD 1,355,000, which with a voucher of 7 % per year. The company chose however, in accordance with the agreement, to receive instead proceeds for the remaining part, USD 1,355,000 in cash, which, according to the agreement, was originally due for payment 31 December 2017
However, the due date has postponed due to delays in ProGreen's other real estate projects and interest on an ongoing basis have been imposed in accordance with agreement. At the Extraordinary General Meeting in November 2020 however, it was decided to adopt a new articles of association this includes the adoption of a new name; Cielo Mar Finans AB (publ). At the same time, a new board of directors and a new CEO took over in the Company. Among other things, the company plans to publish interest-bearing bonds and finance development of the area through loans to project company Procon Baja J.V., against collateral, mortgages, in the property (land). The area to be exploited valued in March 2018 in raw land execution by CBRE Richard Ellis at USD 42 million (approximately SEK 400 million) and in November month 2021 to USD 50 million (approximately SEK 480 million millions), and is virtually unfunded. The area has project has been divided into five phases. Full permits for development and construction exist for the first time phase of 133 hectares.
On October 15, 2021, the Company's claim on ProGreen US Inc., at the time USD 1,842,889, by that this was converted (set off) to 7.3% of the all shares in Procon Baja J.V.S.R.L De C.V which is owner of the project in Mexico. The Board's assessment is that the set-off was made at a very favourable valuation in relation to the valuation of the area established by CBRE Richard Ellis in 2018.
During the period May-June, the Company has issued interest-bearing bonds with the equivalent of 7,890 MSEK. The bonds have a maturity of five (5) years, and an annual interest rate of 10 per cent paid twice annually. The bonds have been admitted to trading on First North Bond Market with first day of trading on 7 October, 2021. Part of the funds received through the the bond issue has, as previously announced, invested in Procon Baja J.V. projects in Mexico in of loans. As mentioned above, during the period also by set-off, acquired corresponding to 7.3% of the shares in Procon Baja J.V
The company works continuously to find additional funding for the project in Mexico and Procon Baja J.V. Despite the current market situation, continued to be positive about the opportunities in addition.
The company has an agreement with Procon Baja J.V. to obtain commission corresponding to 1% of all sales in phase 1, in Procon's project in Mexico, provided that the Company contribute to the financing of phase 1 of the project. It total estimated sales volume in phase 1 amounts to at full exploitation to approximately USD 415 million and has revised up from previously approximately USD 350 million as a result of adjusted prices for the dwellings included in Phase 1. The large potential upside in however, the project consists of a free warrant that entitles the Company to within 36 months (March 2021 – March 2024), acquire a maximum of 10% of the entire project at the equivalent of the valuation as CBRE Richard Ellis determined in March 2018. With additional funding and in the long term as the project exploited, the Company considers that this option may be become very valuable.
