WARNING

Investors are urged to familiarise themselves with the Prospectus, and in particular with the risk factors described in the Securities Note section 1 "Risk Factors", in the Registration Document, more precisely in chapter "Risk Factors" on p. 128 to 139 of the (English) 2022 Universal Registration Document, and in sections B.3 and C.3 on p. 2-3, respectively, p. 4-5 of the (English) Summary before investing in the New Shares, trading Priority Allocation Rights or acquiring Scrips in order to fully understand the potential risks and rewards associated with the decision to invest in the securities. The risk factors estimated to be the most material on the basis of an overall evaluation of the criteria set out in the Prospectus Regulation and according to the assessment made by Aedifica about the materiality of the risk are presented first within each category mentioned in the aforementioned chapters regarding the Risk Factors. Every decision to invest in the New Shares, to trade Priority Allocation Rights or acquire Scrips, in the framework of the Offering, must be based on all information provided in the Prospectus. Potential investors must be able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the New Shares, trading Priority Allocation Rights or acquiring Scrips, and to undergo a full or partial loss of their investment. The Prospectus is valid until 20 June 2024.

Offering

Each Existing Shareholder will receive one Priority Allocation Right per Existing Share held at the end of the trading day of 21 June 2023. The Priority Allocation Rights are expected to be tradable, separately from the Existing Shares, on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam throughout the entire Subscription Period, i.e. from 22 June 2023 (9:00 CEST) up to and including 29 June 2023 (16:00 CEST).

Existing Shareholders who hold Priority Allocation Rights and other holders of Priority Allocation Rights can subscribe for New Shares from 22 June 2023 (9:00 CEST) up to and including 29 June 2023 (16:00 CEST), under the terms and conditions set out in the Prospectus, at an Issue Price of EUR 52.00 per New Share and at the Subscription Ratio of 11 Priority Allocation Rights for 2 New Shares.

The Offering covers a maximum of 7,315,402 New Shares with the same rights as the Existing Shares, it being understood that they will only participate pro rata temporis in the financial results of the Company for the current 2023 financial year as from 4 July 2023. The New Shares will thus be issued with coupon no. 34 and following attached. The capital increase was decided within the framework of the authorised capital.

Reasons of the Offering and use of the proceeds of the issue

On 31 March 2023 the Company's debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 43.6%. The net proceeds of the Offering, if the Offering is fully subscribed for, can be estimated at approximately EUR 374.36 million (after deduction of provisions and costs in relation to the Offering that are borne by the Company). These net proceeds of the Offering will in practice be used by the Company in three different steps, which may overlap with each other:

    1. Further strengthening of the balance sheet: The total net proceeds of the Offering will initially be used for partial repayment of the amounts drawn under the credit facilities, enabling the Company to further strengthen its balance sheet and maintain a debt-to-asset ratio below 45% in line with the Company's financial strategy (however, this does not exclude that this threshold may be exceeded for short periods of time). In the event that the Offering is fully subscribed for, this would mathematically reduce the debt-to-assets ratio of the Company as (re)computed as per 31 March 2023 to approximately 37.4%.
    1. Financing of the further implementation of the pipeline: In addition to available committed credit lines and proceeds from disposals, the net proceeds from the Offering will be used to finance the currently disclosed pipeline of construction and renovation projects and acquisitions (representing, as per 31 March 2023 a total budget of approximately EUR 630 million out of which approximately EUR 451 million is still to be invested over an estimated period of three years, whereas the Company's headroom to finance capital expenditures and liquidity needs, as per 31 March 2023 was EUR 623 million through committed credit lines). The full execution of this pipeline could lead to an increase of the above-mentioned estimated pro forma debt-to-assets ratio post Offering to 41.8% (not taking into account working capital needs, future operating results, dividends and the valuation of the property portfolio).
    1. Pursue new investment opportunities in line with Aedifica's strategy: The net proceeds from the Offering will also enable the Company to stay agile and pursue its growth strategy through new development and acquisition opportunities in the European healthcare real estate market if and when they occur, while maintaining an appropriate debt-to-assets ratio of maximum 45% in line with its financial strategy (however, this does not exclude that this threshold may be exceeded for short periods of time).

PRESS RELEASE – ADVERTISEMENT Regulated information – Inside information

21 June 2023 – before opening of the markets Under embargo until 7:30 CEST

Assuming the Offering is fully subscribed for, assuming the full execution of the pipeline set out above under step 2 and taking into account the above-mentioned financial strategy relating to a maximum debtto-assets ratio of 45%, the theoretical maximum amount of new investments and developments could be estimated at approximately EUR 380 million. In practice, the Company will further refine the amounts and timing of the actual spending of committed and yet to be committed investments and developments, depending on, amongst other things, the evolution of the debt-to-assets ratio of the Company from time to time, the availability of attractive development and investment opportunities, the conclusion of agreements under appropriate terms and conditions with potential sellers and users (and the realisation of conditions precedent, if any), the net proceeds of the Offering and the operational income, costs and expenses of the Company, the disposal of assets, future strengthening of the Company's equity through other means, the prevailing market conditions, etcetera.

Issue price

The Issue Price amounts to EUR 52.00 per New Share and has been determined on 20 June 2023 (after closing of the markets) by the Company in consultation with the Joint Bookrunners based on the closing price of the Share on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam on 20 June 2023, and taking into account a discount usually granted for this type of transaction.

The Issue Price is 16.04% lower than the closing price of the Share on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam on 20 June 2023 (which amounted to EUR 63.85) adjusted to take into account the estimated value of coupon no. 33 (which is estimated to be EUR 1.9156) 2 that will be detached on 21 June 2023 (after closing of the markets – ex-coupon date 22 June 2023), being EUR 61.93 after this adjustment. Based on this aforementioned adjusted closing price, the theoretical ex-right price ('TERP') is EUR 60.41, the theoretical value of a Priority Allocation Right is EUR 1.52, and the discount of the Issue Price compared to TERP is 13.92%.

Priority Allocation Rights

The Priority Allocation Rights (coupon no. 32) will be detached from the Shares on 21 June 2023 (after closing of the markets – ex-coupon date 22 June 2023) and are expected to be tradable on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam under the ISIN-code BE0970183860 during the Subscription Period. Purchasing or selling Priority Allocation Rights may entail certain costs.

Right to dividends

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the board of directors of the Company estimates the gross dividend for the current 2023 financial year at EUR 3.80 per Share and thus re-confirms the dividend outlook included in its Q1 2023 Interim Report published on 10 May 2023.

As a result, the board of directors of the Company estimates the gross dividend represented by:

  • coupon no. 33 representing the right to the pro rata temporis dividend for the current 2023 financial year for the period starting from 1 January 2023 (including) up to and including 3 July 2023, at EUR 1.9156; and
  • coupon no. 34, or, if applicable, one of the following coupons, which represents the right to the pro rata temporis dividend of the current 2023 financial year as from 4 July 2023, and which will be attached to the New Shares, at EUR 1.8844.

2 See 'Right to dividends' in this press release.

PRESS RELEASE – ADVERTISEMENT Regulated information – Inside information

21 June 2023 – before opening of the markets Under embargo until 7:30 CEST

This estimate is of course subject to the actual results of the current 2023 financial year and the approval by the ordinary general meeting of shareholders to be scheduled for 14 May 2024, which, among other things, shall decide on the dividend that will be paid in respect of the 2023 financial year.

The payment of the dividends (if any) for the current 2023 financial year will, in principle, be made in May 2024.

Private placement of Scrips

The Priority Allocation Rights that (i) were not exercised during the Subscription Period or (ii) are attached to registered Existing Shares (a) for which a duly completed subscription form or request for dematerialisation was not received in time, (b) which (notwithstanding an instruction to such extent was given by the relevant registered Existing Shareholder in a timely completed and submitted form requesting the sale of Priority Allocation Rights) could not be sold in the name of the Company and for the account of the relevant registered shareholder by BNP Paribas Fortis because the market for Priority Allocation Rights did not develop or proved to be illiquid, for which BNP Paribas Fortis cannot give any guarantees and therefore acts on a best efforts basis, or (c) which were exercised but for which the aggregate Issue Price was not timely and/or correctly paid, and are therefore qualified as non-exercised Priority Allocation Rights, will become invalid and will no longer be able to be exercised by the persons holding them. Such non-exercised (or qualified as such) Priority Allocation Rights will automatically be converted into an equal number of Scrips. These Scrips will be offered for sale by the Joint Bookrunners to Belgian and international institutional investors, through an exempt private placement in the form of an "accelerated bookbuilding" (an accelerated private placement with composition of an order book) executed outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S of the US Securities Act, and more precisely in the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations in such jurisdictions (the "Private Placement of Scrips"), which will take place as soon as possible after the closing of the Subscription Period, and in principle on 30 June 2023.

Buyers of Scrips will be required to subscribe for the New Shares that are still available for subscription at the same price and at the same Subscription Ratio as is applicable to the subscription through the exercise of Priority Allocation Rights. The selling price of the Scrips will be determined by the Company in consultation with the Joint Bookrunners, based on the results of the accelerated bookbuild offering in the context of the Private Placement of Scrips. The net proceeds from the sale of these Scrips (i.e., after deduction of the costs, expenses and charges of all kinds incurred by the Company in the context of the Private Placement of Scrips) (the "Excess Amount"), will be divided proportionally among all holders of Priority Allocation Rights (i) that were not exercised during the Subscription Period or (ii) that are attached to registered Existing Shares (a) for which a duly completed subscription form or request for dematerialisation was not received in time, (b) which (notwithstanding an instruction to such extent was given by the relevant registered Existing Shareholder in a timely completed and submitted form requesting the sale of Priority Allocation Rights) could not be sold in the name of the Company and for the account of the relevant registered shareholder by BNP Paribas Fortis because the market for Priority Allocation Rights did not develop or proved to be illiquid, for which BNP Paribas Fortis cannot give any guarantees and therefore acts on a best efforts basis, or (c) which were exercised but for which the aggregate Issue Price was not timely and/or correctly paid, and are therefore qualified as non-exercised Priority Allocation Rights, upon presentation of coupon no. 32, in principle as from 7 July 2023. If the Excess Amount divided by the total number of unexercised (or qualified as such) Priority Allocation Rights is less than EUR 0.01, the holders of coupon no. 32 will not be entitled to receive any payment, and the Excess Amount will be transferred, and accrue, to the Company.
