(Adds background)
COPENHAGEN, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Swedish real estate
company Oscar Properties OP.ST said on Friday it would
postpone the release of its fourth-quarter earnings report to
April 4, adding that it had faced several challenges over a
period of time.
Oscar Properties in January was forced to sell real estate
at a discounted price of 2.2 billion Swedish crowns ($209.86
million) to repay loans from Norwegian bank DNB and other
smaller creditors.
Property company DSAM Sverige on Monday applied for the
bankruptcy of Oscar Properties, sending the company's shares
down 42%. Oscar Properties intends to contest the bankruptcy
application, it said.
Brf Innovationen in January filed for Oscar Properties
to be declared bankrupt, but the application was
later withdrawn
