During the first quarter of the year we started the implementation of the Group reorganization and we added to our portfolio some new projects in Europe and the US, in-line with our strategy to selectively expand our business and capitalize on our presence in existing jurisdictions.
Having successfully completed the new bond issue and extended the Group’s debt maturities significantly, we are well positioned to evaluate new opportunities worldwide.”
