This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2006, and is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Ahold Central Europe, that developed the centres, will continue to operate its Hypernova hypermarket in Centrum Karviná. Ahold’s hypermarket operations in the Polish centres were already divested in February 2005.
