Offering

The Company is launching a capital increase through the issuance of up to 2,800,000 New Shares placed via an exempt private placement by way of an accelerated bookbuilding with international institutional investors (the "Offering").

The Offering starts immediately after the publication of this press release.

The Company has requested the suspension of the trading of its shares on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam until the publication of the results of the Offering.

Subject to acceleration or extension, the order book will close tomorrow, 10 June 2021, before opening of the market. The results of the Offering will be published in a press release, which is expected on or about 10 June 2021.

Reasons for the Offering and use of proceeds

The principal objective of the Offering is twofold:

    1. financing execution of the committed investment program1 ;
    1. strengthening the balance sheet in order to pursue the Company's growth strategy through new developments and acquisitions in the European healthcare real estate market.

As a reminder, the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio of the Company amounted to 44.5% on 31 March 2021. Following the execution of the committed investment program, the debt-to-asset ratio is expected to increase towards 50% by the end of the current financial year. Following a successful offering however, the debt-to-asset ratio is anticipated to be around or below 45% by the end of 2021, which enables the Company to pursue its growth strategy.

Characteristics of the Offering

Structure

The Offering will take place in the form of an accelerated bookbuilding through the Joint Bookrunners (i) outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act"), in (a) the EEA with "qualified investors", as defined in Article 2 (e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Regulation"), and in accordance with the prospectus exemption provided for in Article 1.4 (a) of the Prospectus Regulation, (b) the United Kingdom, with (i) "qualified investors" as defined in Article 2 (e) of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of the domestic legislation of the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and underlying legislation, (ii) persons that (x) are "investment professionals" as stipulated in article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended

or (y) "high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc." in the sense of article 49(2) (a) to (d) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended and (iii) all other persons that can be entitled to such investment or investment activities and which can lawfully participate in the Offering, (c) Switzerland, with investors that qualify as "professional clients" in accordance with article 4 iuncto article 36 of the "Swiss Financial Services Act" ("Finanzdienstleistungsgesetz") dated 15 June 2018, as well as (d) other selected jurisdictions, with certain qualified and/or institutional investors subject to the applicable restrictions and (ii) in the United States with qualified institutional buyers as defined in and on reliance upon Rule 144A under the US Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), or another available exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act.

The capital increase in the framework of the Offering will take place within the framework of the authorised capital, with cancellation of the preferential subscription right of, and without allocation of an irreducible allocation right to, existing shareholders in accordance with article 26, § 1(3) of the Belgian Act on regulated real estate companies dated 12 May 2014 (the "GVV/SIR Act") that allows the Board of Directors of a regulated real estate company to carry out capital increases within the authorised capital waiving the legal preferential right of, and without granting an irreducible allocation right to, the existing shareholders, insofar as the cumulative amount of such capital increases carried out over a 12-month period, does not exceed 10% of the capital at the time of the decision to increase the capital.

Final issue price and final number of New Shares

The final issue price and the final number of New Shares to be issued will be determined by the Company in consultation with the Joint Bookrunners, taking into account amongst others the results of the Offering.

Available amount under the authorised capital

The Offering makes use of the authorised capital that was approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting of 11 May 2021, which to date has not yet been used by the Company. Under this approval, the Company's Board of Directors is (amongst other things) authorised to increase the Company's capital by maximum 10% through accelerated bookbuildings. In the 12-month period prior to the date hereof, the Company has not made use of article 26, §1 (3) of the GVV/SIR Act.

New shares

The New Shares will be issued in accordance with Belgian law and are ordinary shares, fully paid-up, with voting rights and without nominal value. Other than in respect of pro rata dividends, they will confer the same rights as the existing shares. Please refer to the section "Dividend" below with respect to the dividend rights of the New Shares.

Standstill

In the context of the Offering, the Company has committed to a standstill for 90 days in relation to the issuance of New Shares, subject to customary exceptions, including waiver by the Joint Global Coordinators.

Dividend

So as to permit the issuance of the New Shares with dividend entitlement pro rata temporis as of their issuance, the Company has in the context of the Offering requested to detach coupon no. 28 from its existing shares, effective as of 11 June 2021. Coupon no. 28 will therefore represent the entitlement to the pro rata temporis dividend for the current financial year from 1 January 2021 up to and including 14 June 2021 with an estimated value (gross) of 1.4918 EUR based on the dividend guidance for the current financial year set forth in the quarterly report published on 12 May 2021. The following dividend coupon (coupon no. 29) will represent the entitlement to the dividend for the current financial year pro rata temporis from 15 June 2021 until the end of the current financial year.

The New Shares will be issued with coupon no. 29 et seq. attached. This means that, while the Offering is for New Shares without coupon no. 28, the existing shares will continue to trade with coupon no. 28 up to and including 10 June 2021. Upon the actual issuance of the New Shares (which is expected on 15 June 2021), the existing shares and the New Shares will all trade with coupon no. 29 et seq. attached and hence have the same dividend rights.

Admission to trading of the New Shares

A request has been filed for the admission to trading of the New Shares on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and of Euronext Amsterdam, in accordance with the prospectus exemption provided for in Article 1.5(a) of the Prospectus Regulation, which is expected to occur on 15 June 2021. The New Shares will have ISIN-code BE0003851681, which is the same code as the existing shares.

Payment and delivery of the New Shares

The subscribers will need to pay the issue price in full, in euro, together with any applicable stock exchange taxes and costs.

INFORMATION TO DISTRIBUTORS

The Joint Bookrunners have informed the Company that the following information is intended for distributors only. The information is provided by the Joint Bookrunners and the Company does not assume responsibility for it.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), the Joint Bookrunners have informed the Company that they have submitted the New Shares subject of the proposed Private Placement to a product approval process, which has determined that such New Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the proposed Private Placement. It is further noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only attract investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the New Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
