Question: Lars Norrby - Seb Enskilda (London) - Analyst
: Lars Norrby, SEB. A couple of questions from my side. First, a follow up on that transfer of ownership, which was done, as I understand
earlier this week on Monday, wasn't it? Now why now? Why was the change done at this point in time?
I understand it obviously strengthens the balance sheet on Norwegian Property, but why this week and not earlier?
Question: Lars Norrby - Seb Enskilda (London) - Analyst
: Okay. Fine. And just then turning to Fabege, of course, like in any property company, the composition of the property portfolio is something
that, well, that's what you work with basically. So you've been on the Board for what is now 1.5 years and now you're in a different position
in the company.
What's your view of the composition of the portfolio? Would there be -- potentially be parts that could be a material size that could be up
for sale going forward?
Question: Lars Norrby - Seb Enskilda (London) - Analyst
: Okay. Thanks. I'll leave the microphone to somebody else here.
Unidentified Participant
This is Fredrik from ABG. A couple of questions as well. You talked about kind of a couple of similarities between Fabege and Norwegian
Property, and during your time at Norwegian Property, you did some acquisitions, you invested in credit, talked about being opportunistic.
What do you think that sort of means for Fabege to be more opportunistic, in what way?
Question: Stephanie Dossmann - Jefferies LLC - Analyst
: I would have two questions, please. One -- the first one will be related to the AI adoption with by corporates. I was thinking about what's
your view, I mean, on the impact from AI on office demand in the long term? And especially in the situation that we see currently with lots
of vacancies. And I know there are -- there have been disruptions in the past, such as working from home trends and so on. So I was thinking
about the megatrends on the office market.
And maybe the second one correlated to the first one. When it comes to fill the vacancy, do you think about converting assets into other
asset types such as either data centers with the AI adoption or other type of assets, please?
