ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL NEW BOND ISSUANCE IN COMBINATION WITH LIABILITY MANAGEMENT EXERCISE July 2, 2024 – Grand City Properties S.A. ("GCP" or the “Company”) announces the successful issuance of a new benchmark size bond with a total volume of €500 million (the “Issuance”). With this first Issuance in over three years, GCP is validating the Company’s access to capital markets. The issuance follows the Company’s successful perpetual exchange and tender transaction in April 2024. The new Series Y 2030 bond, with a nominal amount of €500 million, will carry a coupon of 4.375% and has a tenor of 5.5 years. The bond is expected to be rated BBB+ by S&P. The Issuance was oversubscribed with a very strong book of over €3.5 billion reflecting more than 7x the issue amount and has attracted very strong demand from high quality investors. The Issuance proceeds target the repayment of short-term debt and accordingly the Issuance is executed in conjunction with a liability management exercise, which was launched on July 1st and is expected to expire on July 8th. The liability management exercise targets over €1.4 billion in nominal value of bonds with near-term maturities through a tender process (together with the issuance the “Transaction”). The Transaction is aimed at extending the debt maturity profile, thus reducing refinancing risk and strengthening GCP’s balance sheet. About the Company The Company is a specialist in residential real estate, value-add opportunities in densely populated areas primarily in Germany and London. The Company’s strategy is to improve its properties by repositioning and intensive tenant management, and then create value by subsequently raising occupancy and rental levels.
