Notification pursuant to Article 15 of the Act of 2 May 2007
Stefaan Gielens, CEO of Aedifica, commented: "Aedifica continues to expand its healthcare real estate portfolio in Belgium with the acquisition of a care home in Durbuy. We are investing approx. €20 million in a fully operational property that accommodates 121 elderly people. As this acquisition takes the form of a contribution in kind, we are also delighted to strengthen even further the Company's balance sheet."
Stéphanie Lomme, Country Manager of Aedifica Belgium, adding: "This well-located care home in Durbuy is a welcome addition to our Belgian healthcare real estate portfolio, which already includes more than 80 sites. This acquisition also enables us to further diversify our tenant base by starting a collaboration with My-Assist, an experienced Belgian care operator. In addition to the various energy measures in place, we agreed on a programme for further improvements to the building."

Aedifica invests approx. €20 million in a fully operational care home in Durbuy (Belgium) through a contribution in kind. In that context, 184,492 new shares were issued.
Domaine de la Rose Blanche – Durbuy
The Domaine de la Rose Blanche1 care home benefits from an excellent location in a green area near the centre of Durbuy (12,000 inhabitants, Province of Luxembourg). The care home dates from 1992 and was extended in 2000 and 2014. The plot of land allows for further extensions in the future. The care home has a total capacity for 121 residents, accommodating 94 elderly people requiring continuous care and 27 elderly people who want to live independently with care and services on demand. Various systems have been installed in recent years to limit water consumption and improve the building's energy efficiency, such as a heat pump, solar panels and LED lighting. Aedifica and operator My-Assist have the ambition to further improve the building's energy performance. Both parties have agreed on a programme for a partial upgrade of the building as part of the current transaction, and have also expressed their intention to explore further energy efficiency improvements.

Domaine de la Rose Blanche – Durbuy
The care home is operated by My-Assist, an established private player in the Belgian senior care market. My-Assist currently operates 8 care homes, providing high-quality residential care and rehabilitation care to approx. 825 elderly people who are no longer able to live independently at home. In addition, My-Assist also operates two additional residential care facilities for persons with special needs, with a total capacity of approx. 225 people.
Aedifica welcomes this new partnership with a quality player in the Belgian senior care sector.
The care home is let on the basis of a new irrevocable 27-year triple net lease. The initial net rental yield amounts to approx. 4.5%.
The care home was acquired through the contribution in kind of the building and the plot of land in Aedifica NV/SA. The contractual value2 amounts to approx. €20 million. As consideration for the contribution, 184,492 new shares were issued.
The new Aedifica shares were issued this morning, 29 June 2021, following a capital increase decided by the Board of Directors within the framework of the authorised capital. The new shares are fully paidup, with no par value. They will be listed as from 29 June 2021 and are fungible as the shares will be issued cum coupon no. 29 (which entitles the holder to a pro rata temporis dividend for the current financial year; see below).
2 The contractual value complies with the provisions of article 49 § 1 of the Belgian Act of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies.
