Sale of land plot in El Gouna for CHF 28.8 million, corresponding to 15.7
times its current book value.
Altdorf, 2 July 2024 - Orascom Development Holding (ODH) is pleased to

The land sale, executed at roughly 15.7 times its book value of CHF 1.9

with substantial hidden values kept at book value in our financial
statements. This strategic sale is a testament to ODH's commitment to
