Amos Luzon Buys Control of US Property Firm for $3 Million

Amos Luzon Buys Control of US Property Firm for $3 Million

Businessman Amos Luzon's group is acquiring a 60% stake in Kohan Properties for NIS 11.7 million, with a partner taking the remaining 40% for NIS 7.8 million. The deal is for a company with $736 million in assets but significant debt and liquidity issues, acquired from a lender who seized the shares due to a default. The former controlling shareholder is challenging the transfer, citing procedural flaws, though the buyers have received a legal opinion supporting the transaction. Luzon plans to improve existing assets rather than expand the portfolio.
