1. Carry value is determined using the most recent JLL valuation per sqm. For notarisations completed before June 30, 2025, the applicable valuation is from December 2024. For notarisations occurring after June 30, 2025, the carrying value will be based on the JLL valuation as of June 30, 2025.
2. The Portfolio carry value is the average valuation per sqm across all assets within the Company's Portfolio.
3. The asset carry value refers to the JLL valuation of the specific properties associated with units being notarised during the period.
Further expansion of the condominium sales pipeline in 2026
Following the Company's full debt refinancing, announced on 28 November 2025, the Company expects to add additional properties into the Condominium Sales Pool. After completing the required capital expenditure to maximise sale proceeds, this additional tranche is expected to be added in H1 2026, with capacity to add further properties thereafter.
To support the enlarged pipeline, the Company has broadened its coverage by expanding its panel to five brokers. This wider distribution capability, together with units added in H2 2025 and further additions planned in 2026, is expected to underpin continued sales velocity in the current year.
Return of capital through share redemption programme
In line with the managed realisation strategy approved by shareholders on 12 March 2025, and supported by the enhanced flexibility provided by the debt refinancing, the Company will return capital to shareholders through a programme of compulsory pro rata redemptions of Ordinary Shares.
The Company expects that the proceeds from condominium sales will be returned to shareholders twice yearly, subject to available cash, market conditions and covenant headroom.
The Company intends that returns to shareholders will be made on a net proceeds basis (rather than gross). Net proceeds reflect the cash available for distribution after deductions associated with executing sales and managing the wind-down, including:
1. Broker sales fees and other disposal-related costs
2. Repayment of debt
3. Any crystallised tax charges arising from disposals
Accordingly, the cash returned to shareholders is expected to align more closely with an IFRS-based measure of equity (which reflects realised cash movements and liabilities as they arise) than with EPRA measures, which align with a long-term hold scenario and may exclude certain items that are not expected to crystallise if assets were retained indefinitely.
Redemption pricing and timetable
The Company will provide further information on the first redemption alongside its full year Results on 23 April 2026. Further information on how a compulsory pro rata redemption works is set out in the Appendix to this announcement. No action is required from shareholders at this time.
Portfolio Valuation
The Company expects to announce the valuation of its investment property portfolio (Condominium and PRS) as at 31 December 2025 on 6 February 2026.
Robert Hingley, Chair of Phoenix Spree Deutschland, commented:
"We have exceeded our 2025 condominium sales target ahead of schedule and at a premium to latest balance sheet carrying values. Our successful refinancing, together with strong progress in condominium sales, gives us confidence in delivering on our strategy of realising assets and returning capital to shareholders."

APPENDIX
Share Redemptions
What is a "compulsory pro rata redemption?" The Company will redeem and cancel the same fixed percentage of shares held by every shareholder and pay cash for those cancelled shares. No action is required and all shareholders are treated equally.
Why is this good for shareholders? Shareholders receive payment by means of a capital repayment. As shares are redeemed pro rata to existing holdings, each shareholder's percentage holding remains unchanged.
When will I know the details? We will announce more information on the size, price and timetable of the first redemption alongside our Full Year Results in April 2026.
Do I need to do anything now? No.
Where will the cash come from? From ongoing condominium sales and available cash resources, supported by our new refinancing facility.
How will I get my money? If you hold shares electronically (CREST), proceeds will be paid through CREST. If you hold paper certificates, you will receive payment by cheque or bank transfer. The April 2026 announcement will confirm exact mechanics and timing.
Will everyone be treated the same? Yes.
What happens to my remaining shares? Your remaining shares continue to trade as normal.
What are the tax implications? Tax outcomes depend on individual circumstances and jurisdiction. Please seek independent professional advice.
