Project scope and objective
The Project entails financing for: (i) the Company’s expansion, with the opening of up to 100 new stores under its 2019-2021 growth plan; and, if feasible (ii) the construction of a photovoltaic plant in its national distribution center.
The project will allow the Company to increase the volume of transactions with suppliers, many of which are SMEs. The projected expansion will also allow Tía to expand its services within its target market (middle- and lower-class customers), who will benefit from improved access to quality products at competitive prices, as well as better service through online shopping and use of the application.
Addendum: On October 19, 2021, this publication is revised to include a new line of US$ 5MM to be funded by the Clean Technology Fund (“CTF”) to finance the acquisition, installation, operation and maintenance of a portfolio of photovoltaic projects of self-generation in selected locations of Tiendas TÍA.
