The Offeror reserves the right to extend any of the dates and times set forth above in its sole discretion, and may extend the Expiration Time. The above dates and times are subject, where applicable, to the right of the Offeror to extend, re-open, amend, and/or terminate the Offer (subject to applicable law and as provided in the Offer to Purchase). Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes to determine when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a Holder in order for that Holder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which withdrawal is permitted) withdraw their instruction to participate in the Offer before the deadlines specified in the Offer to Purchase. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and by each Clearing System for the submission of Tender Instructions may be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified above.

Purpose of the Offer

The Offeror is inviting Eligible Holders to participate in the Offer as part of a proactive liability management measure aimed at addressing the upcoming stated maturity of the Notes in November 2025 and reducing overall leverage, particularly following the successful capital increase by Peach Property Group AG, which was completed in December 2024. The Offeror intends to retire and cancel all Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Total Amount Payable to Holders

If the Offeror decides to accept valid tenders of Notes pursuant to the Offer, the total amount that will be paid to each Holder on the Settlement Date for the Notes accepted for purchase from such Holder will be an amount (rounded to the nearest €0.01, with €0.005 rounded upwards) equal to the sum of:

ii

  1. the Purchase Price multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer; and
  2. accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

Holders should inform themselves about any fees, charges, taxes, expenses or other amounts they may be required to pay or otherwise bear as a result of delivering or having delivered on their behalf any Tender Instruction and/or if such tender of Notes is accepted by the Offeror, including any custodian or intermediary fees. Accordingly, Holders should consult in advance the fee lists or arrangements in place with any such party.

Purchase Price - Unmodified Dutch Auction Procedure

The amount the Offeror will pay for Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will be determined pursuant to an unmodified Dutch auction procedure, as described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Purchase Consideration that the Offeror will pay for any Notes validly tendered by a Holder and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer shall be equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Holder validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the Purchase Price specified (or deemed to be specified, as set out below) by the relevant Holder in his or her Tender Instruction, provided that if the specified Purchase Price is lower than the applicable Minimum Purchase Price, or, if no Purchase Price is specified, the Offeror will pay the Minimum Purchase Price.

As the Purchase Consideration applicable to each Holder who validly submits a Tender Instruction which is accepted by the Offeror is determined by reference to a particular Purchase Price specified (or deemed to be specified, as set out below) by such Holder in its Tender Instruction, the Purchase Consideration payable to each such Holder will not necessarily be the same as, and may be less than, the Purchase Consideration received by other Holders participating in the Offer even where the same principal amount of Notes is accepted for purchase from each such Holder.

Under the Unmodified Dutch Auction Procedure, the Offeror will determine, in its sole discretion, following the Expiration Time, the Acceptance Amount, which shall be the aggregate principal amount of Notes (if any) it will accept for purchase pursuant to the Offer, and a Maximum Purchase Price, taking into account the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in the Offer, the Purchase Prices specified (or deemed to be specified, as set out below) by tendering Holders and the aggregate cash consideration, excluding any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date, to be paid by the Offeror to purchase the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Offer, which Tender Consideration the Offeror proposes to be a total amount of up to €100,000,000, although the Offeror reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to significantly increase or decrease such amount.

The Purchase Price for the Notes will not be less than the Minimum Purchase Price, which shall be 96.5% and will otherwise be the lowest price that will allow the Offeror to accept for purchase the Acceptance Amount.

Accrued Interest

In addition to the Purchase Consideration, the Offeror will also pay accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date in respect of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Final Acceptance Amount, Priority of Acceptance and Scaling

Final Acceptance Amount

The Offeror proposes to accept Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer up to the aggregate cash consideration (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) of €100,000,000, although the Offeror reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to significantly increase or decrease such amount. The final aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer is the Final Acceptance Amount.

iii

Priority of Acceptance

The Offeror intends to accept Notes validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer in the following order of priority:

  1. the Offeror will first accept for purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer by way of Non-Competitive Tender Instructions (as described below) up to (and including) the Acceptance Amount; and
  2. if the aggregate principal amount of such Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer by way of Non- Competitive Tender Instructions is less than the Acceptance Amount, the Offeror may then, in its sole discretion, accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer by way of Competitive Tender Instructions (as described below), such that the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer is equal to the Acceptance Amount.

Scaling

If the Offeror decides to accept Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer and:

  1. the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered pursuant to Non-Competitive Tender Instructions is greater than the Acceptance Amount, the Offeror intends to accept such Notes for purchase on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase is no greater than the Acceptance Amount. In such circumstances, the Maximum Purchase Price for all of the Notes will be set at the applicable Minimum Purchase Price and the Offeror will not accept for purchase any Notes tendered pursuant to Competitive Tender Instructions; or
  2. the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered (i) pursuant to Non-Competitive Tender Instructions and (ii) pursuant to Competitive Tender Instructions that specify a Purchase Price that is less than or equal to the Maximum Purchase Price, is greater than the Acceptance Amount, the Offeror intends to accept for purchase (A) first, all Notes tendered pursuant to Non-Competitive Tender Instructions in full, (B) second, all Notes tendered pursuant to Competitive Tender Instructions that specify a Purchase Price below the Maximum Purchase Price in full and (C) third, all Notes tendered at the Maximum Purchase Price on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase is no greater than the Acceptance Amount.

In the event that Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer are to be accepted on a pro rata basis, each such tender of such Notes will be scaled by a Scaling Factor equal to (i) the Acceptance Amount less the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that have been validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, and are not subject to acceptance on a pro rata basis (if any), divided by (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that have been validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, and are subject to acceptance on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to allow for the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, following the rounding of tenders of such Notes as described in the next sentence, to equal the Acceptance Amount exactly). Each tender of such Notes that is scaled in this manner will be rounded down to the nearest €1,000 in principal amount.

In addition, in the event a Scaling Factor is applied, the Offeror will use reasonable efforts to apply the Scaling Factor (to the extent reasonably practicable) to each valid tender of Notes by a Holder in such a manner as will result in both (a) such Holder transferring Notes to the Offeror in an aggregate principal amount of no less than €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, and (b) such Holder's residual amount of Notes (such residual amount being the principal amount of Notes subject to the relevant Tender Instruction that are not accepted for purchase as a result of the Scaling Factor) amounting to no less than €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof (unless such residual amount is zero), and the Offeror reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust the Scaling Factor applied to each Tender Instruction accordingly. If, following the application of the Scaling Factor (prior to any adjustment as referred to above), the principal amount of Notes otherwise due to be accepted for purchase from a Holder pursuant to a Tender Instruction would be less than €100,000, the Offeror may in its sole discretion choose to either accept an amount at least equal to €100,000 or reject the relevant Tender Instruction in its entirety.

Tender Instructions

In order to participate in, and be eligible to receive the Purchase Consideration, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date, pursuant to the Offer, Eligible Holders must validly tender their Notes

iv

by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender Agent by the Expiration Time, which shall be 4:00 p.m., London time on January 17, 2025 (subject to the right of the Offeror to extend, re-open, amend and/or terminate the Offer or waive any defects in its sole discretion).

Eligible Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from an Eligible Holder in order for that Eligible Holder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which withdrawal is permitted) withdraw their instruction to participate in, the Offer by the deadlines specified in the Offer to Purchase. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and by Clearing Systems for the submission and withdrawal of Tender Instructions may be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified in the Offer to Purchase.

Tender Instructions will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase.

Tender Instructions may be submitted on a "non-competitive" or a "competitive" basis as follows:

  • a "Non-CompetitiveTender Instruction" is a Tender Instruction which specifies the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to such Tender Instruction (such principal amount being at least €100,000), and either (i) does not specify a Purchase Price for such Notes, or (ii) specifies a Purchase Price less than or equal to the Minimum Purchase Price. Each Non-Competitive Tender Instruction, whether falling within (i) or (ii) above, will be deemed to have specified the Minimum Purchase Price for the tendered Notes; and
  • a "Competitive Tender Instruction" is a Tender Instruction which specifies (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to such Tender Instruction (such principal amount being at least €100,000), and (ii) a Purchase Price greater than the Minimum Purchase Price (which Purchase Price must be specified in increments of 0.05% above the Minimum Purchase Price). In the event that any Competitive Tender Instruction specifies a Purchase Price that is not an integral multiple of 0.05% above the Minimum Purchase Price, the Purchase Price so specified shall be rounded up to the nearest 0.05% integral multiple, and the Competitive Tender Instruction shall be deemed to have specified such rounded figure as the Purchase Price.

Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a minimum principal amount of Notes of no less than €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

A separate Tender Instruction must be completed on behalf of each beneficial owner.

Announcements

The Offeror will announce its decision of whether to accept valid tenders of Notes pursuant to the Offer and, if so accepted, the Final Acceptance Amount, the Acceptance Amount and details of any scaling that will be applied to valid tenders of Notes as soon as reasonably practicable following the Expiration Time. The date of such announcement is expected to be January 20, 2025.
