Closing of Fully-Owned Logistics Portfolio Sale and Mandatory Redemption of Bonds

Further to its announcement on 11 March 2024, Globalworth (AIM: GWI), the leading office investor in Central and Eastern Europe, is pleased to announce that the sale of part of its logistics portfolio has successfully closed. The portfolio comprised of five logistics / light-industrial parks with ten facilities in Timisoara, Arad, Oradea and Pitesti as well as a majority stake in two small business units in Bucharest (the "Fully-Owned Logistics Portfolio") and was sold to CTP INVEST SPOL S.R.O. Net proceeds to Globalworth from the sale of the Fully-Owned Logistics Portfolio amounted to €72.4 million excluding working capital, minority interest and following the deduction of €95.8 million secured bank loans associated with the Fully-Owned Logistics Portfolio.

The disposal of the Fully-Owned Logistics Portfolio, which was considered a non-core asset of the Company's overall asset portfolio, is in line with the Company's focus on deleveraging and enhancing liquidity.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company's bonds, the Company intends to use part of the net proceeds received from the sale towards redeeming at par (i) €45,000,000 of its €307,109,200 in principal amount outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes due 2029 and (ii) €20,000,000 of its €333,350,400 in principal amount outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes due 2030 (collectively, the "Notes" and, such redemption, the "Mandatory Redemption"). The Company expects the Mandatory Redemption to occur on or about 18 June 2024 and intends to issue a notice to holders of the Notes, in each case in accordance with the trust deed constituting the Notes.
