Oslo, 14 June 2024

NOTICE OF A WRITTEN RESOLUTION

1. INTRODUCTION

We refer to the stock exchange notice (the "Notice") from KMC Properties ASA (the "Existing Issuer") on 14 June 2024.

Nordic Trustee AS (the "Bond Trustee") is the appointed bond trustee for the holders of Bonds (the "Bondholders") in the above mentioned Bond Issue issued by the Existing Issuer pursuant to the bond terms dated 3 July 2023 and entered into between the Bond Trustee and the Existing Issuer (as amended and/or restated from time to time) (the "Bond Terms").

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Bond Terms. References to Clauses and paragraphs are references to Clauses and paragraphs in the Bond Terms.

A request for a Written Resolution is hereby made pursuant to Clause 15.2 (a)(i) (Procedure for Arranging a Bondholders' meeting) and Clause 15.5 (Written Resolutions) of the Bond Terms (as defined below) to consider approval of the Proposal (as defined below).

The information in this notice regarding the Existing Issuer and market conditions have been provided by the Existing Issuer. The Bond Trustee expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever related to such information. Bondholders are encouraged to read this notice in its entirety.

2. BACKGROUND FOR THE PROPOSAL

As reported in the Notice, the Existing Issuer and the NASDAQ Stockholm listed real estate company Logistea AB (Publ.) ("Logistea") have entered into an agreement whereby Logistea will combine with the Existing Issuer by acquiring the Existing Issuer's direct subsidiary, KMC Properties Holdco AS, reg. no. 929 307 666, against consideration in the form of newly issued shares in Logistea (the "Combination"). The combined company will operate under the Logistea name and become a leading Nordic industrial, warehouse and logistics real estate company focusing on long-term growth, financial stability and sustainability.

The Combination will significantly expand and diversify KMCP's operations, improve its growth prospects and access to capital and enhance its in-house capabilities. The Combination values both companies based on reported net asset value (NAV) as of 31 March 2024 adjusted for certain minor subsequent events. The Combination is expected to be completed on or around 11 July 2024.

To facilitate the completion of the Combination in line with the targeted transaction structure, the Existing Issuer and Logistea are proposing to the Bondholders that:

    1. KMC Properties AS (reg. no. 924 527 714) (the "New Issuer") steps in and undertakes the payment obligations as new debtor and new issuer under the Bonds in lieu of the Existing Issuer (the "Change of Debtor").
    1. Logistea grants a parent company guarantee for the Secured Obligations and assumes the majority of the Existing Issuer's other obligations under the Bond Terms.

Following completion of the requested process for the Change of Debtor in accordance with the Proposal, as set out in more detail in Appendix 1 (Form of Amended and restated Bond Terms), the Existing Issuer will be released from all of its obligations in connection with the Bond Terms and the other Finance Documents.

The proposed amendments to the Bond Terms will include a proposal for Change of Debtor and such further changes and amendments set out in Section 3 (Proposal) and Appendix 1 hereto.

In addition to the approval of the proposed changes to the Bond Terms, the Combination remains subject to approval by extraordinary general meetings in Logistea and the Existing Issuer, respectively.

The Existing Issuer has wall-crossed a selected group of holders of the Bonds ahead of the public announcement of the Combination. In aggregate, the wall-crossed investors hold around 40% of the outstanding nominal amount of the Bonds. All the wall-crossed investors have undertaken to vote in favour of the Proposal.

For further information see the presentation published on www.Newsweb.no (Oslo Børs' information platform) at the date hereof.

ATTACHMENT 3

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

  • (a) Security will be given by a Property Group Company, over such types of assets or asset classes provided as security under the Security or to the extent required to grant security over any shares (ownership interests) in any company becoming a Property Group Company.
  • (b) General statutory and customary limitations (e.g. financial assistance, corporate benefit and retention of title claims) may limit the ability of a Property Group Company to provide security or guarantee without inclusion of provisions limiting the responsibility for granting full legal valid and perfected security or guarantee or require that such security or guarantee is limited by an amount or otherwise.
  • (c) The security and extent of its perfection and scope shall take into account the cost, work and time of providing security which (in the Security Agent's sole discretion) must be proportionate to the benefit accruing to the Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, registration of mortgages over properties in Sweden or Denmark or floating charges over the assets of a Group Company incorporated in Sweden or Denmark will be limited to an assignment or transfer of existing security registration documents and registration of new security registration documents by use of any existing stamp duty mortgages.
  • (d) Group Companies will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents if it would:
    • (i) result in any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference or thin capitalisation laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction;
    • (ii) result in a significant risk to the officers of the relevant Group Company of contravention of their fiduciary duties and/or of civil or criminal liability,

unless such guarantees or security documents are accompanied by relevant provisions (limitation language) limiting the potential liability for the relevant Property Group Company, its management, officers or other employees.

  • (e) Security over monetary claims under insurance contracts shall exclude liability insurances and other third-party insurance.
  • (f) Security shall not be taken over leasehold property where such security will require third party consent and where such consent is not, despite the security provider's reasonable efforts, given.
  • (g) Security over bank accounts shall exclude (i) accounts in cash pool arrangement which are not, under the terms for those arrangements, bank accounts, (ii) tax deduction accounts (skattetrekkskonti), escrow or cash collateral accounts providing permitted

security and (iii) such accounts which, under the policies of the account bank, cannot or shall not be subject to third party security.

  • (h) Any assets subject to pre-existing third party arrangements which are permitted by the Finance Documents or any other contractual restrictions on assignments or absence of necessary regulations, registrations or similar, and which prevent those assets from being charged if so required by paragraph (a) above, will be excluded from any relevant security document but the relevant Property Group Companies must use reasonable endeavours to obtain consent to charging any such assets if the relevant asset is material.
  • (i) Security documents shall operate to create security rather than to impose any new commercial obligations or restrictions on use of the assets in the relevant Group Company's ordinary course of business prior to an event of default (i.e. blocking, transfer of title or similar) and shall, accordingly, not contain additional or duplicate representations or undertakings to those contained in the Finance Documents unless required for the creation, perfection, effectiveness or preservation of the security.
  • (j) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, guarantees and security will not be required from or over the assets of any joint venture or similar arrangement or any company in which a Group Company holds a minority interest.
  • (k) Perfection of security will not be required if it would materially and adversely affect the ability of the relevant Group Company to conduct its operations or business in the ordinary course. Where the blocking of the bank account is required by applicable law to perfect the Security, perfection of the bank account pledge will not be required until an Event of Default has occurred which is continuing.
  • (l) No notice of receivables security may be given in Sweden, Finland or Denmark to third party debtors until an event of default has occurred (and an acceleration notice has been served to the relevant debtors), regardless if such notice is required for perfection of such receivables security.
  • (m) Security will not be enforceable until an event of default has occurred and is continuing and an acceleration notice has been served to the relevant debtors. However, the foregoing shall not prevent action to block any pledged account following an event of default which is continuing.
  • (n) The Security Agent shall only be able to:
    • (i) exercise any powers of attorney (including, but not limited to, in respect of voting rights appertaining to any shares) granted under any security document or have the right to receive any dividends if an event of default has occurred and is continuing and, unless (in the sole opinion of the Security Agent) it could have an adverse effect on the interest of the Secured Parties, the Security Agent has given notice of its intention to exercise such powers of attorney, voting rights or dividend rights (as applicable), upon which such rights may no longer be exercised by the relevant pledgor; and

(ii) exercise any powers of attorney granted under any security document in relation to actions for perfecting and maintaining security if and when the relevant Obligor has failed to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation within five (5) Business Days of receiving prior notice of it.
