According to Adler Real Estate’s first-quarter report, there was still a purchase price receivable including interest of €59.3 million outstanding. In its full-year 2021 report, Adler Real Estate said Accentro has reconciled the outstanding receivable with Adler and asked to draft a release letter for the purchase price collateral to be issued in conjunction with the purchase price payment.

Accentro Working With Perella, White & Case in Debt Talks with Bondholders to Address 2023 Maturity
German real estate company Accentro is working with Perella Weinberg in negotiations with lenders to address the company’s bond maturity in 2023, sources told Reorg. The company has also been working with White & Case as legal counsel, sources added.
Accentro has a €250 million unsecured bond due in February 2023 and a €100 million unsecured bond due 2026.
A group of bondholders is working with Houlihan Lokey and Milbank as reported. Sources said about 60% to 70% of the bonds are concentrated among a small number of holders, with Fidelity owning about €20 million, according to Bloomberg and at least one hedge fund among the holders.
Sources said the company could launch a tender offer for a part of the €250 million bonds due 2023 using some of its cash position and ask bondholders to agree to an amend-and-extend solution for the outstanding amount. Cash and cash equivalents stood at €158.9 million at the end of March.
The group could then sell assets to pay down the remaining part of the bond or partially repay the bond and refinance the rest, sources suggested.
As of March 31, Accentro’s book value of properties stood at €618.2 million, including €331.1 million investment properties (for rental purposes) and €287.1 million inventory properties (for sale). An evolution chart of the group’s book value of properties is shown below:
