Malita Investments plc - Profile

Malita Investments plc was set up on 3 June 2011 by the Government of Malta as an investment holding company. The Company’s main objectives primarily include the acquisition, development and management of immovable properties. The Company also aims to leverage its revenue streams and reinvest any undistributed profits in other national and/or strategic real estate projects as well as in commercial properties.

Malita currently owns two sites and has a temporary emphyteusis over another two properties. Details of these four properties, including the cost of acquisition, the lease period as well as the annual rental income to be generated are explained below.

Property Acquisitions

Malita acquired the Malta International Airport and Valletta Cruise Port sites for a total of €34,054,032 settled through the issuance of 68,108,064 new ‘A’ shares of €0.50 each to the Government of Malta.

Malta International Airport Site

By virtue of a Transfer Contract entered into on 14 June 2012 with the Government of Malta, Malita acquired the title over the Malta International Airport site housing Malta’s only airport together with the surrounding amenities. Malita is also entitled to receive the ground rents due by Malta International Airport plc, the tenant of this site, with effect from 1 December 2011.

In the case of Malta International Airport plc, there are two leases both of which expire on 25 July 2067. The first deed, entered into in 2002, obliges MIA to pay an annual ground rent of €698,812 whilst the annual ground rent payable on the second deed which commences from 2013 amounts to €71,308. Both ground rents are revisable upwards every five years by 15%.

Valletta Cruise Port Site

By virtue of a Transfer Contract also entered into on 14 June 2012 with the Government of Malta, Malita acquired the title over the Valletta Cruise Port site comprising the cruise liner terminal at the Valletta Waterfront in the Grand Harbour complemented by leisure facilities. Malita is also entitled to receive the ground rents due by Valletta Cruise Port plc, the tenant of this site, with effect from 1 December 2011.

The tenant is obliged to pay an annual ground rent of €556,049 to Malita for the remaining years of its 65-year lease entered into in November 2001. The rate is revisable upwards by the higher of 20% or the inflation rate at the beginning of 2015 (being the fourteenth year of the lease) and subsequently revisable upwards at the beginning of every five years by the higher of 10% or the inflation rate until the beginning of 2065.

In addition, VCP is also obliged to pay 15% of its revenues emanating from the letting of buildings and facilities available on the site and 10% of all income generated from the passenger and cruise liner operations. However, these additional payments are reduced by the amount of the annual ground rent.

City Gate Leases

On 26 June 2012, the Company acquired a 65-year emphyteusis from the Government of Malta over the new Parliament Building and the Open-Air Theatre located at the entrance to Malta’s capital city, Valletta. The consideration for these leases comprise a premium of €82 million, representing the upfront payment to the Government for the ownership of future income to be generated from the City Gate project. Moreover, Malita is due to pay an annual ground rent of €100,000 to the Government which is revisable every three years by the higher of 5% and the rate of inflation. In turn, by virtue of two separate lease agreements entered into on 26 June 2012, Malita will be leasing the Parliament Building and Open-Air Theatre to the Government. In the case of the Parliament Building, Malita leased this property to the Government for 20 years against an annual lease of €3.68 million. Meanwhile, the Open-Air Theatre was leased to the Government for a 30-year period with an annual lease of €1.55 million. Both amounts are payable in semi-annual instalments and are revisable upwards every three years by the rate of inflation.
