It is expressly pointed out that Meridia's valuations of unrealized investments are based on assumptions that Meridia believes are reasonable under the circumstances and, consequently, the actual realized returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the valuations used in the performance data contained herein are based.

Letter from the management

Dear Investors,

We hope this letter finds you well.

Please find enclosed Meridia III ("the Vehicle")'s Q3 24 quarterly report.

As of September 30th, 2024, Meridia III's total outstanding investments amounted to €197.4 million. Total equity invested (having deducted distributions) amounted to €75.7 million.

Based on the latest financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, total net NAV (including distributions) stands at €292.2 million and 1.59x net equity multiple (post carried interest estimate), which compares with a total net NAV of €297.7 million and 1.62x net equity multiple showed in Q2 2024.

Meridia continues to work intensively across all existing assets, implementing various asset management initiatives to boost occupancy rates and enhance the tenant mix. Additionally, proactive measures are being taken to safeguard the fund's liquidity.

Disposals

Meridia continues to assess the market whilst evaluating the optimal liquidity window to carry on with its disposals programme.

Portfolio Overview

Equity exposure of the remaining portfolio is divided among office (77.3%), retail (22.5%), and residential (0.1%) sectors.

As of September 30th, 2024, our portfolio comprised 8 properties: 5 office buildings, 1 shopping centre and 2 residential assets.

Asset and Project Management Updates

Main Asset Management highlights are related to Project Beatle:

  • Opening of Ilusiona Bowling Alley in August, which has successfully enhanced traffic to the shopping centre.
  • New lease agreement signed, covering a total area of 587 sqm with a mandatory four-year term. This addition has increased occupancy by 2%, bringing the overall occupancy of the shopping centre to approximately 90%.
  • Completed a lease renewal, sustaining the high occupancy rate across the asset.

On Project Management:

Project Smart: The Pere IV Road Urbanization Project is awaiting budget approval from the Urban Planning Department. We estimate that, with the City's endorsement, the project will likely be delayed until Q4 2025.

Project Beatle: The new bowling alley construction was completed and officially opened in Q3 2024. Additionally, work began in Q3 2024 to expand retail outlets along the circulation corridor.

Project Ice: The License of First Occupation (LPO) for the Siberia building was granted in Q3 2024. The LPO for the Deslite building is expected in Q4 2024, as the handover of the urban project to City Hall has introduced some complexity. Consequently, the sale of these assets is anticipated in the coming months.

As always, we remain at your disposal. Sincerely,

The Meridia Team
