DEFENSIVE INVESTMENT PROFILE
LETTER TO THE SHARE-
HOLDERS
In 2023, the Company joined forces to meet the challenging expectations regarding the growth of the healthcare real estate portfolio as well as its financial results. The expansion of our real estate portfolio continued through additional acquisitions and completions in the European countries where the Company operates.
In addition, we also faced the human and economic horrors of ongoing war in Ukraine worldwide in 2023. As a Company, we deeply regret the inhumane situation in which many Ukrainians live today.
The war does not remain without impact on the economy and financial strength of citizens in the rest of Europe. We all continued to feel the galloping inflation of 2022 due to energy prices and its impact on the cost of living and the profitability of our businesses all over Europe in 2023.
Care Property Invest has the ambition to expand its portfolio within Europe. Therefore, given the market conditions, the focus in 2023 was on controlled growth of the existing healthcare real estate portfolios in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, and Ireland. Additional investments amounting to €57 million were made. As a result, the fair value of the real estate portfolio (including finance leases) as at 31 December 2023 amounted to approximately €1.247 billion
(+10.2%).
In 1996, Serviceflats Invest, the predecessor of today's Care Property Invest, was listed on the Brussels Stock Exchange. For 27 years, the Company has managed to achieve significant value creation and a stable but annually increasing dividend paid out to its shareholders. The Company's aim is to continue this trend in the coming years. As proof of this, the proposal to the general meeting to also pay out a (gross) dividend of €1.00 per share for 2023, fully in line with what we had promised.
To get all this under control, interest rates on loans were gradually pushed up further since 2022, until today. Despite Care Property Invest's excellent financial results, we too were not spared the crisis atmosphere that all this inevitably evokes.
Uncertainty about the impact of interest rate rises, inflation, the valuation of real estate portfolios and the debt ratio of regulated real estate companies (RRECs) led to a far-reaching scare among shareholders. As a result, stock market prices of these shares have reached unprecedented lows.
In 2023, Care Property Invest managed to increase its real estate portfolio to approximately €1,247 billion.
Besides focusing on growing the real estate portfolio through additional investments, Care Property Invest also aims to create added value for its shareholders. Therefore, the Company managed to increase its rental income in 2023 to approximately €66 million (+21.2%). Despite the necessary investments made in human capital in 2023 in order to achieve further growth, the Company managed to close the year with adjusted EPRA earnings of €38 million (+10.6%), or €1.03 per share. These results are in line with the announced forecasts for 2023 in the Annual Financial Report 2022. This proves that Care Property Invest is able to realise growth of its real estate portfolio in combination with the associated additional costs. At the Ordinary Annual General Meeting, to be held on 29 May 2024, we will propose to pay out a gross dividend of €1.00 per share. This means the same amount as in 2023, despite an increase in the number of shares as a result of the capital increase in January 2023. After deduction of the reduced withholding tax rate (15%), shareholders will receive a net dividend of €0.85 per share.
Care Property Invest's focus on sustainability of both its existing and future real estate portfolio is constantly increasing. To this end, Care Property Invest published its fourth sustainability report in 2023. In September 2023, the efforts made for this sustainability reporting were awarded the EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the second consecutive time.by GRESB and S&P Global (through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment) in 2023. With the results and feedback from these assessments, we will work in 2024 to improve our score by focusing even more on sustainability within our operations.
The coming years will also be crucial in sustainability reporting with the arrival of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the EU Taxonomy Regulation. Today, Care Property Invest is already taking the necessary steps to prepare to be fully ready to report according to these new reporting requirements by 2025.
Over the past year, Care Property Invest has proven its ability to achieve its targeted growth. Also for 2024, we intend to continue this growth ambition. The Company is always looking for new quality and profitable projects. Given the current market conditions and assuming it will continue for some time, we expect there could be a significant slowdown in the growth rate in 2024.
At the beginning of 2023, the Company proceeded to increase its capital through a rights issue for all existing shareholders. The total capital raised is approximately €110 million. Also for 2024 financial year, the Company expects to realise adjusted EPRA earnings per share between €1.00 and €1.02. The Board of Directors intends to pay out a gross dividend of €1.00 per share again, as was the case for 2023.
Both the return of higher interest rates on loans and the high cost of equity mean that our acquisition policy towards further expansion of the real estate portfolio will be more
selective.
Finally, the Board of Directors would like to thank the shareholders for their confidence, the clients for their belief in the added value that Care Property Invest brings to their projects and, of course, its employees for their commitment and enthusiasm in achieving
the Company's objectives.
Peter Van Heukelom Mark Suykens

Chief Executive Officer Chairman of the Board of Directors

For the 2024 financial year, the Board of Directors proposes to pay a gross dividend of €1,00 per share. This means the same amount as in 2023, despite an increase in the number of shares.

Alsemberg (BE) I Orelia Ter Beuken

I. Risk factors The strategy of Care Property Invest is aimed at creating stability for the investors, in terms of both dividends and income in the long term.
The Executive Committee and the Board of Directors are aware of the specific risks associated with the management of the Care Property Invest property portfolio and aim for optimal management of these and to limit them as far as possible. The list of risks which are described in this section is not exhaustive. Most of these factors relate to uncertain events that could occur.
Based on the ESMA guidelines on risk factors under the Prospectus Regulation, the Company(1) has, on the one hand, limited itself to those risk factors that apply specifically to it and therefore not to the entire real estate sector, RREC sector or all listed companies and, on the other hand, to those that are also material.
General, non-material or other unknown or improbable risks or risks which, on the basis of the information currently available, are not assumed to have an adverse effect on the Company or on its activities or financial situation, may exist.
Care Property Invest is of the opinion that the factors described below reflect the main risks currently associated with the Company and its activities. The order in which the risk factors are listed is an indication of the importance, per category (in relation to the probability that they will occur and the expected scale of the adverse effect) of the risk factors. However, the order of the categories does not provide an assessment of the importance of the categories themselves or the relative importance of the risk factors listed within one category compared to the risk factors
(1) The term 'Company' refers in this annual financial report to: Care Property Invest nv.
It should also be noted that risk management is not an exercise only conducted at certain intervals, but an integral part of the way in which Care Property Invest is managed on a daily basis.
The main risk factors that Care Property Invest faces are the subject of regular and daily monitoring by the Risk Manager, the Effective Leaders and the Board of Directors, who have defined a prudent policy in this respect, which they will update regularly if necessary. This ranges from daily financial and operational management, analysis of new investment projects and formulating the strategy and objectives to laying down strict procedures for decision-making. Understanding and protecting against/eliminating risks arising from both internal and external factors is essential in order to achieve a stable total return in the long term.
Since 2019, the Company has an audit committee whose role is to monitor the efficiency of the Company's risk management systems.
1.1 Risks associated with the concentration risk
This risk can be described as the risk of concentration of tenants or investments in one or more buildings in relation to the overall real estate portfolio.
In accordance with the RREC legislation the Company is required to limit these risks and to spread its risks by respecting a diversification of its real estate on a geographical level, per type of property and per tenant. Article 30 of the RREC legislation provides that 'no transaction performed by the Public RREC may result in (1°) more than 20% of its consolidated assets being invested in real estate forming a single real estate unit; or (2°) this percentage increasing further if it already amounts to more than 20%, regardless of the cause, in the latter case, of the original overrun of this percentage'. This restriction applies at the time of the action concerned. For the application of this article, 'real estate unit' refers to one or more noncurrent assets or assets held within the context of exercising the activities referred to in Article 4 with an investment risk that should be considered as a single risk for the public regulated real estate company. If the Company exceeds the 20% diversification rule, it may not make any investments, divestments or take
other actions that could result in a further overrun of this percentage. In other words, this limits the possibilities of the Company in relation to additional investments or divestments. The reason for this is that excessive exposure to an operating tenant also entails excessive exposure to the risk
of that tenant's insolvency
(see '2.1 Risks associated with the solvency
In view of the dynamism of the large groups of operators active in the accommodation for senior citizens sector and the consolidation that has been underway in the sector for several years, one or more concentrations between two or more groups that are affiliated to legal entities with which the Company has contracted rental or long-term lease contracts cannot be ruled out. This could potentially impact the diversification level
of the lessee.
As at 31 December 2023, the three largest operators within the Company's real estate portfolio, calculated as the fair value of the leased real estate in relation to the Company's consolidated assets (including finance leases at fair value) are as follows:
• Colisée (Armonea): 13.77% • Vulpia Care Group: 11.10%
As at 31 December 2023, the ratio of the fair value of the 3 largest investment properties compared to the Company's consolidated assets (including finance leases at fair value) was as follows:
In terms of rental income, as at 31 December 2023, the Company's three largest private tenants expressed as a percentage of the consolidated rental income are as follows:
The top three largest rental incomes derived from a single real estate unit, expressed as a percentage relative to the consolidated rental income as at 31 December 2023 are as follows:
The potential impact concerns a sharp diminution in income or cash flows in the event of the departure of a tenant, which in turn has an impact on the profitability of the Company and the possibility of paying dividends or at least maintaining the level of these. The impact could be strengthened by a fall in the fair value of the real estate and consequently, a fall in the net active value (NTA) in the event of a concentration of investments in one or more buildings (see also below under risk factor '2.2 Risks associated with negative changes in the fair value of the buildings' on page 34).
The Company assesses the probability of the risk materialising as low. If the risk materialises, the negative impact would be moderate.

Care Property Invest strictly follows the statutory diversification rules in this regard, as provided in the RREC legislation. The Company did obtain permission from the FSMA to take account of the fair value of the finance leases in the denominator in the calculation of the ratio of the concentration risk instead of the book value. The Company has no opportunities to expand its activities to sectors other than healthcare real estate, which means that diversification at the sectoral level is not possible, although this is possible on the geographical level.
Care Property Invest aims for a strongly diversified lessee base. At the close of the financial year, the largest lessee accounted for 13.96% of the total revenue, spread over several sites (see diagram '2.2 Distribution of the number of projects per operator' on page 141 in Chapter 'III. Real estate report'). Furthermore, the Company's real estate portfolio already has a good spread over 150 sites, with the largest site representing less than 5% of the fair value of the portfolio (see diagram '2.2 Distribution of the number of projects per operator' on page 141 in Chapter 'III. Real
estate report').
The Company estimates the residual risk, taking account of the limiting factors of the risk and management of the risk as described above, associated with the concentration risk, as low in terms of probability and as moderate in terms of impact.
Care Property Invest's strategy is to create stability for investors, both in terms of dividend and long-term income.
This risk can be described as the risk of a (partial) default and/or bankruptcy of its tenants, lessees or leaseholders. In other words, the Company is exposed to the risk that its tenants, lessees and leaseholders default as a result of (for example) a deterioration of the debt collection rate, a decrease of the occupancy rate (or even vacancy), increased (energy and food) costs, increased indexation of rent, interest costs and wages due to increased inflation.
The potential impact concerns, on the one hand, a sudden, unexpected diminution in rental income due to a deterioration in the debt collection rate or a fall in the occupancy rate, and, on the other hand, rising commercial costs for re-letting if the insolvency of tenants leads to vacancy. There is a risk that if the relevant tenants, lessees, or long-term leaseholders remain in default, the guarantee will not suffice and the Company will consequently bear the risk of being unable to recuperate sufficient amounts, if any. This all has an impact on the profitability of the Company and the capacity to distribute dividends or at least to maintain the level of these. The impact on the Company's results will of course also depend on the relative size
of the operator within the Company's real estate portfolio. The smaller the share of the operator within the Company's real estate portfolio, the smaller the impact on the Company's results (see also risk factor '1.1 Risks associated with the concentration risk' on page 29). For example, in April 2023 the Company was faced with the default of a lessee of a property in Belgium (finance lease) that represented 0.8% of the total real estate portfolio and 0.7% of the Company's total rental income as at 31 December 2023. The Company is working hard to resolve this issue.
The loss of rental income may also have a negative impact on the valuation of the real estate concerned (see also risk factor '2.2 Risks associated with negative changes in the fair value of the buildings' on page 34). If the tenants, lessees, and leaseholders concerned default for a long period, these agreements will eventually end prematurely, resulting in no rental income during the period in which a new tenant needs to be found. In addition, there is a risk that the new tenant will only be willing to rent the healthcare property at a lower rent and/or on different lease terms, resulting in a change in the future rental income potential. This could have a negative impact on the Company's future revenue and cash flows.
inflation or other factors that could materially affect the cost structure (both general and financial costs) and thus the tenants' ability to pay (including significant indexation following the recent high inflation, which may or may not persist in the future), could also lead to renegotiations with existing tenants on current lease agreements (read: rent reductions, which would also have the effect of changing the future revenue potential). For example, a pandemic (such as COVID-19) could lead to an increase in the number of vacant beds, as well as regulatory changes that could put pressure on the operator's cost structure.
As at 31 December 2023, provisions for bad debts for the 2023 financial year amount to €2,500 (out of a total of €65,905,564 in rental income). As at 31 December 2023, a loss of €1,000,000 in rent for any reason, be it due to default by one major operator or default by multiple operators, would negatively affect earnings per share by approximately €0.0270.
The Company estimates the probability of the risk materialising as moderate. If the risk manifested itself, the negative impact would be high.
of the risk
(1) The initial portfolio relates to the financial leases (with as at 31/12/2023 a balance sheet value (finance lease receivables) of €156,518,610 and a generated rental stream of €17,000,894) that the Company entered into until 2014.

The Company arms itself against these risks on different levels. For the projects in the initial portfolio(1), the costs in the event of a possible insolvency of an operator (in this case a public centre for social welfare (OCMW/ CPAS)) are hedged by the municipal guarantee fund. For the investment property portfolio, the guarantees usually consist of one or several of the following: bank guarantees, corporate guarantees (by solvent group entities) and/or a right to include a pledge on the relevant operator's receivables. As at 31 December 2023, the total amount of bank guarantees amounted to €23,045,411. However, it is not always feasible to enforce certain securities (e.g. a mortgage), and the risk also always remains that, if the relevant tenant, lessee or lease holder defaults for a long period, the guarantees are not sufficient and the Company consequently bears the risk of not being able to recover anything or not enough.
A carefully selected portfolio of operators with a balanced spread further provides for an excellent spread of risks. The solvency of the tenants is thoroughly screened before inclusion in the portfolio.
The Company aims to expand its portfolio via long-term contracts with stable and solvent first-class tenants. Before investing in a particular healthcare property, a thorough analysis is conducted of the business plan of the operator and certain ratios that reflect the economic viability of the project. On a half-yearly or quarterly basis, the Company also monitors the financial position of the operators and reviews a number of operational parameters that the operators are required to provide on the basis of the provisions of the rental agreements or lease contracts.
Nevertheless, it estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors of the risk and management of the risk as described above, as moderate in terms of probability and high in terms of impact.
This risk can be described as the exposure of the Company to a potential fall in the fair value of its real estate portfolio, as a result of a revaluation of the real estate portfolio or otherwise.
The Company is also exposed to the risk of a diminution in the value of the real estate in its portfolio as a result of:
The impact of a fall in the fair value is a fall in the Company's equity, which has a negative impact on the debt ratio. If the fair value of the buildings as at 31 December 2023 were to fall by €337.7 million, or 34.0% of the fair value of the investment properties as at 31 December 2023, this would result in the Company's debt ratio rising to 65% (see also '3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 40).
If the cumulative changes in the fair value exceed the distributable reserves, there is a risk of partial or total inability to pay dividends.
The Company monitors its debt ratio and the evolution of the fair value of its investment properties on a regular basis

Carabanchel, Madrid (ES) I Emera Carabanchel
(see also '3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 40). The Company also runs the risk that, as a result of the application of Article 7:212 BCCA, it would no longer be able to pay the anticipated dividend.
If the Company conducts a transaction, through investment or disinvestment in real estate, it also runs the risk that it will not identify certain risks on the basis of its due diligence inquiries or that, even after performing due diligence inquiries and an independent real estate assessment, it will acquire or sell real estate for too high or too low a price in relation to the underlying value, for example by conducting transactions at an unfavourable moment in an economic cycle.
The Company estimates the probability of the risk materialising as moderate. If the risk materialises, the negative impact would be moderate.
Care Property Invest therefore has an investment strategy aimed at high quality assets that offer a stable income and provides for adequate monitoring of its assets, combined with a prudent debt policy.
The real estate portfolio (more specifically, the part shown as real estate investment) is valued by a real estate expert every quarter. The lease receivables portfolio is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 and the book value is not subject to negative variations due to the value of the property itself, but rather due to an increase in market interest rates. A value fluctuation of 1% of the real estate portfolio would have an impact of about €9.9 million on the net results, of about €0.27 on the net result per share and of about 0.39% on the debt ratio. This value fluctuation concerns a non-cash element that therefore, as such, has no impact on the adjusted EPRA Earnings, except in the case of a realisation that entails a net loss that is not exempt from distribution and therefore the Company's result for the payment of its dividend. In the event of accumulated negative variations, it is possible that the Company's ability to pay its dividend will come under pressure.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk as described above, as moderate in terms of probability and impact.
Development projects entail several risks, including the specific risks (i) that the necessary building permits are not granted or are protested, (ii) that the project is delayed or cannot be executed (resulting in reduced rental income, postponement or loss of expected rental income) or (iii) that the budget is exceeded due to unforeseen costs or high inflation.
In addition to investing in completed projects, which generate rental income in the short term, the Company also invests in development projects in order to expand its real estate portfolio. As at 31 December 2023, the Company has 8 (re)development projects in its portfolio, with a book value of €59.1 million (representing 5.94% of the total book value of investment properties), a cost-to-complete(1) of €22.5 million and an estimated annual rental income of €4.4 million.
The development of a building takes approximately 2 to 3 years on average depending on the country (including permit period). If there is a delay in obtaining the permit or in carrying out the works, this results in a proportionate delay in the budgeted rental income.
The Company estimates the probability of the risk materialising as moderate. If the risk materialises, the negative impact would be moderate.
Although the Company always strives to negotiate contracts that minimise the risks of large construction works (e.g. by always working on a fixed price basis for a development, the so-called turnkey formula, starting the acquisition only after obtaining the necessary permits, and including the necessary penalty clauses for late completion), this is not always feasible. And even if the Company has entered into a fixed-price development agreement, it is possible that, due to changing market conditions or as a result of a (solvency) failure (e.g. due to rising construction or energy costs), the developer may fail to meet its contractual
obligations.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the mitigating factors and controlling the risk, as moderate, both in terms of probability and
impact.
(1) Additional investments to be made to complete ongoing project developments.
This risk can be described as the possibility of existing expiring financial leases not being renewed or being renewed at less favourable terms for the Company.
In addition to a portfolio of investment properties, the Company also has a portfolio of financial leases, with the first financial lease expiring in 2026 and the last financial lease expiring in 2043.
A complete loss of the rental income from the financial leases expiring from 2026 to 2030 (i.e. if no replacement investment is found) would have a negative impact on the EPS of €0.18 as at 31 December 2023 (without taking into account the positive impact of the repayment of the loans with the end-of-lease payment that the Company will receive following the termination of the financial leases).
The Company estimates the possibility that these contracts cannot be renewed without replacement investment as low, and a reduction in rent due to the fact that the funds cannot be invested at the same yields as high.
Notwithstanding the Company's endeavours to renew these financial leases, the potential impact of their termination is that the Company loses rental income, (i) if it is unable to finance new investments
with the end-of-lease payment it will receive as a result of the termination of the financial leases (however, the Company may use the funds received for e.g. the repayment of financings), or (ii) if the terms or modalities of any replacement investment are less favourable compared to the terminated financial lease..
In terms of residual risk, the Company assesses the possibility that these contracts cannot be renewed without replacement investment as low, and a reduction in rent due to the fact that the funds cannot be invested at the same yields as high.

3.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to non-compliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters
This risk can be described as the risk of non-compliance with statutory or contractual requirements to comply with certain financial parameters under the credit agreements, which could lead to their cancellation or renegotiation.
The main covenants cover the following:
As at 31 December 2023, the consolidated debt ratio of the Company was 46.65%, resulting in an available space of €399.3 million. The limitation of the debt ratio to 60% is included in the credit agreements for a total amount of €541,498,273 (of which, as at 31 December 2023, an amount of €395,998,273 was drawn or 73.0% of the total financial debts liabilities drawn). For more information on the debt ratio, reference is made to '3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 40.
• An interest coverage ratio (being the operating result before the result on the portfolio, divided by the interest charges paid) of at least 2.5. As at 31 December 2023 the interest coverage ratio was 3.44 compared to 4.25 as at 31 December 2022. The Company's interest charges must increase by €5,760,377 or from €15,295,746 to €21,056,123 in order to
reach the required minimum of 2.5. However, severe and abrupt pressure on the operating result could jeopardise compliance with the interest coverage ratio parameter. The operating result before result on portfolio must fall by 27.4% from €52,640,307 to €38,239,365 before the limit of 2.5 is reached. • A minimum consolidated portfolio size of €650 million.
In addition, the risk of early termination exists in the event of a change of control of the Company, in the event of a breach of 'negative pledge' or other covenants and obligations of the Company and, more generally, in the event of default as defined in these financing agreements. A default (it should be noted that certain instances of 'default' or breach of covenants, such as a change of control, included in all financing agreements, are outside the control of the Company) under one financing agreement may, pursuant to so-called 'cross acceleration' or 'cross default' provisions, additionally lead to defaults under other financing agreements (irrespective of the grant of any 'waivers' by other credit providers, in the case of a 'cross default' provision) and may thus lead to the mandatory early repayment by the Company of all such lines of credit.
The potential impact concerns any cancellation of loans and damaged trust between investors and bankers on noncompliance with contractual covenants. It is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for the activities of the Company.
The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios, are not met. This could lead to liquidity problems, in view of the similar character in the covenants of the financial institutions of the maximum debt ratio or interest coverage ratio of a cumulative nature and could force the Company to liquidate fixed assets (e.g., sale of real estate) or to implement a capital increase or other measures in order to bring the debt level below the required threshold. There is also a possibility that the regulator will impose sanctions or tighter supervision in the event of failure to comply with certain statutory financial parameters (e.g., compliance with the statutory debt ratio, as laid down in Article 13 of the RREC RD).
The consequences for the shareholders could include (i) a reduction in the equity and, therefore, the net asset value (NAV), because a sale must take place at a price below that book value and (ii) a dilution can take place because a capital increase will have to be organised and this will have an impact on the value of the shares and the future dividend prospects.
The Company intrinsically estimates the probability of this risk factor as average. The impact of the intrinsic risk is also estimated as average to high.
To mitigate these risks, the Company pursues a prudent financial policy with constant monitoring to meet the financial parameters of the covenants.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk and its control as described above, as moderatein terms of probability and moderateto high in terms of impact.
The Company's borrowing capacity is limited by the statutory maximum debt ratio of 65% which is permitted by the RREC Law. At the same time, thresholds have been set in the financing contracts concluded with financial institutions. The maximum debt ratio imposed by the financial institutions is 60% (see also '3.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to noncompliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters' on page 39).

The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios included in covenants, are not met. On exceeding the statutory maximum threshold of 65%, the Company runs the risk of losing its RREC certificate through withdrawal by the FSMA.
In general, it is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for activities of the Company.
As at 31 December 2023, the consolidated debt ratio amounted to 46.65%, compared to 52.37% as at 31 December 2022. As at 31 December 2023, the Company has an additional debt capacity of €627.0 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65% and of €399.3 million before reaching a debt ratio of 60%.
The value of the real estate portfolio also has an impact on the debt ratio.
Taking account of the capital base as at 31 December 2023, the maximum debt ratio of 65% would be exceeded only with a potential fall in the value of the real estate portfolio of about €377.7 million, or 34.0% of the real estate portfolio of €994.5 million as at 31 December 2023. With a fall in the value of about €266.2 million, or 26.8% of the real estate portfolio, the debt ratio of 60% would be exceeded.
The Company does wish to note that it has contracted payment obligations for the unrealised part of the developments that it has already included in its balance sheet, representing €22.5 million. As a result, as at 31 December 2023, the available capacity on the debt ratio amounts to €376.8 million before reaching a debt ratio of 60% and €604.5 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65%.
The potential impact concerns the risk that statutory sanctions may be imposed if certain thresholds are exceeded (including a prohibition of payment of a dividend) or that a breach of certain conditions of the financing contracts is committed.
Like all public RRECS, Care Property Invest is subject to tighter supervision by the supervisory authority of compliance with these maximum debt levels.
The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low and the impact of the intrinsic risk as high.
In this case too, it pursues a prudent financial policy with continual monitoring of all planned investments and earnings forecasts, and the coordination of the possibility of a capital increase under the forms permitted by the RREC legislation in order to avoid any statutory sanctions for exceeding this maximum limit at all times.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk as described above, related to the risk of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low in terms of probability and high in terms of impact.
This risk can be described as the risk of unfavourable fluctuations in interest rates, an increased risk premium in the stock markets and/or an increase in the cost of the debts.
The potential impact concerns a material increase in the weighted average cost of the Company's capital (equity and debts) and an impact on the profitability of the business as a whole and of new investments.
As at 31 December 2023, the fixed-interest and floating rate loans accounted for 25.07% and 74.93% of the total financial liabilities respectively. The percentage of floating-rate debt contracted that was converted into a fixed-rate instrument through a derivative instrument (relative to total financial liabilities) amounted to 69.25% as at 31 December 2023. The total hedge ratio thus amounted to 94.32%. As at 31 December 2022, it amounted to 69.42%.
Based on the outstanding credits as at 31 December 2023, if interest rates were to increase by 1%, the weighted average interest cost, including interest rate swaps, would increase from 3.15% to 3.21%. This would result in an increase in the cost of capital of 0.03%, assuming the cost of debt is included for 50% in the cost of capital and assuming no change in the cost of equity.
A change in the interest curve of 1% (upward) would have an impact on the fair value of the credit portfolio of approximately €5.9 million. The conclusion relating to the impact of the change in the interest curve can be continued on a linear basis.
A 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would have a positive/negative impact on the global result statement via the variations in the fair value of financial assets/liabilities amounting to €0.675/€- 0.743 per share but a negative/positive impact on the distributable result and also on the global result due to the increase/ decrease of a part of the net interest costs exposed to the fluctuations in interest rates.
The increase in the required risk premium on the stock markets could result in a fall in the price of the share and make financing of new acquisitions more costly for the Company.
The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact of this risk as average.
With regard to the initial portfolio, Care Property Invest protects itself against interest rate rises through the use of fixed-interest contracts or swaps. For the initial portfolio(1), only the renewable loans at Belfius, amounting to €6,890,000, are subject to a limited interest risk, as these loans are subject to review every three years. For the new portfolio(2), the outstanding commercial paper of €39.0 million and various roll-over credits with various financial institutions with an outstanding amount of €329.5 million as at 31 December 2023 are subject to changes in interest rates on the financial markets. Care Property Invest aims to hedge itself against fixed interest rates for at least 80% via swaps. In this way the Company wishes to anticipate the risk that the increase in interest rates will be primarily attributable to an increase in real interest rates.
There are also 8 loans with revisable interest for the new portfolio. Care Property Invest monitors movements in interest rates with close attention and will hedge itself against timely any excessively high increase in interest rates.
Further explanation on the credit lines are provided in Chapter VI. Financial Statements in 'Note 5: Notes to the consolidated financial statements' on page 216, 'T 5.9 Net interest expense' on page 220, 'T 5.29 Deferred taxes' on page 237 and 'T 5.16 Financial fixed assets and other non-current financial liabilities' on page 227. If the increase in interest rates results from an increase in the level of inflation, the indexation of the rental income also serves as a tempering factor, albeit only after the indexation of the lease agreements can be implemented, so that there is a delaying effect here.
In general, Care Property Invest aims to build up a relationship of trust with its bank partners and investors and maintains a continual dialogue with them in order to develop a solid long-term relationship.
Nevertheless, the Company continues to regard this risk as material.
(1) The initial portfolio relates to the finance leases (with as at 31/12/2023 a balance sheet value (finance lease receivables) of €156,518,610 and a generated rental flow of €17,000,894) that the Company entered into until 2014.
(2) The new portfolio as referred to here refers to the finance leases (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2023 of €10,186,663 and a generated rental flow of €815,674) and the investment properties, including assets held for sale (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2023 of €1,004,455,648 and a generated rental flow of €48,088,996), that the Company acquired after 2014.
This risk can be described as the risk of the use of derivatives to hedge the interest rate risk. The fair value of the derivative products is influenced by fluctuations in interest rates in the financial markets. The fair value of the derivative financial products amounted to €4,002,391 as at 31 December 2023, compared to €21,780,342 as at 31 December 2022. The variation in their fair value amounted to €17,777,951 as at 31 December 2023.
The potential impact concerns the complexity and volatility of the fair value of the hedging instruments and consequently, also the net asset value (NAV), as published under the IFRS standards and also the counter-party risk in relation to partners with which we contract derivative financial products. The decrease in the fair value of the authorised hedging instruments amounting to €17,777,951 represents a decrease in the net result and in the net asset value (NAV) of €0.48, without having an impact on the adjusted EPRA Earnings and, therefore, the capacity of the Company to pay its proposed dividend. An increase in market interest rates by 1% results in an increase in the fair value of the derivative financial products amounting to €24,972,194 or €0.675 per share and an increase in the net asset value (NAV) also amounting to €0.675 per share. A fall in market interest rates by 1% results in a diminution in the fair value amounting to €-27,472,320 or €-0.743 per share and a fall in the net asset value (NAV) per share amounting to the same amount.
The Company assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact intrinsically as average.
All derivative financial products are held solely for hedging purposes. No speculative instruments are held. All derivative financial products are interest rate swaps. Care Property Invest also works only with reputable financial institutions (Belfius Bank, KBC Bank, BNP Paribas Fortis, ABN AMRO and ING).
The Company conducts frequent talks with these financial institutions on the evolution of the interest rates and the impact on the existing derivative financial products. The Company also monitors the relevant interest rates itself.
However, the current economic situation is causing increased volatility and pressure on interest rates so this monitoring becomes all the more important to counter volatility. In addition, it will not be certain that the Company will find the hedging instruments it wishes to enter into in the future, nor that the terms associated with the hedging instruments will be acceptable.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the mitigating factors and controlling the risk, as low in terms of probability and average in terms of impact.
4.1 Risks associated with changes in the withholding tax rate
In principle, the withholding tax amounts to 30%, with the possibility of a reduction or exemption from this rate.
RRECs of which at least 80% of the real estate consists of real estate located in a member state of the European Economic Area and used or intended exclusively or mainly for residential units adapted to residential care or healthcare, can benefit from a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% in accordance with the Law regulating the recognition and definition of crowdfunding and containing various provisions regarding finances (amended from time to time). Also, in accordance with Articles 116 and 118 §1, 6th of the Royal Decree/Income Tax Code (ITC) 92, the Company is exempt from withholding tax on income allocated to Belgian public regulated real estate companies.
The shareholders of Care Property Invest have enjoyed this reduced rate since 1 January 2017 as 100% of its real estate portfolio is invested in the senior housing sector.
There is a risk that, for budgetary or other reasons, (e.g., the expansion of the application scope of this exemption because other RRECs comply with this requirement) the government will scrap this exception and the general rate of 30% will become applicable or will be raised still further in its entirety.
On the basis of the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Company will pay a gross dividend of €1.00 per share or a total of €36,988,833. An increase in the withholding tax from 15% to 30% would therefore mean an increase of €5,548,325 in the withholding tax to be withheld or a fall in the net dividend of €0.15, from €0.85 to €0.70 per share.
Haacht (BE) I Klapgat

The potential impact concerns a negative influence on the net dividend for the shareholders that cannot recoup the withholding tax, which would make the Company less attractive as an investment and disrupt the contacts with the local authorities and charitable NPOs and would therefore have an impact on the current operating model in relation to these lessees (in connection with possible charging on to lessees - see below), for both existing and potential future investments. The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as low.
(2) The new portfolio as referred to here refers to the finance leases (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2023 of €10,186,663 and a generated rental flow of €815,674) and the investment properties including assets held for sale (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2023 of €1,004,455,648 and a generated rental flow of €48,088,996) that the Company acquired after 2014.
For the lease receivables in the initial portfolio(1), Care Property Invest can absorb fluctuations in withholding tax and charge these on to its lessees, so that this risk does not exist for the shareholders. This part of the portfolio represents 25.8% of the total rental income.
For the new portfolio(2), no such clause is included. This means that the net dividend would amount to €0.74 per share in the event of the increase in the rental charges as a result of this contractual provision.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk associated with this risk factor as low in terms of probability and moderate in terms of impact.
This risk can be described as the risk concerning the changes in the conditions for exemption from inheritance tax.
Subject to compliance with certain conditions, heirs of the shareholders enjoy an exemption from inheritance tax (Article 2.7.6.0.1. of the Flemish Codex (VCF)). The shares must have been in the possession of the holder for at least five years on the date of decease. In addition, the shareholder must have acquired the shares no later than the year 2005, excluding acquisition among spouses and heirs in the first degree, for which no exemption from inheritance tax has yet been granted.
The market value of the shares may be exempted up to a maximum of the issue price of €5.95. Likewise, the sum of the net dividends paid during the period in which the deceased or his or her spouse was the holder of the shares may also be exempted, in as far as the shares form part of the estate. This means an exempted amount of €19.51 per share at the year-end of 2023, assuming that a share was acquired on the IPO of the Company.
The last notice that the Company received from the banks pursuant to the promotor and formation agreement (BNP Paribas Fortis, VDK Bank, Belfius Bank, KBC, CBC and Bank Degroof Petercam) and its own register of shareholders show that 3,000,728 shares or 8.16% of the total number of outstanding shares were entitled to an exemption as at 31 December 2023.
The Company wishes to draw attention to the fact that the number of shares entitled to the exemption is higher as some of its shares are held by other financial institutions. As the exemption from inheritance tax for the future will be lost upon violation of the conditions, a current violation would mean that the total exemption base, based on the net dividend for the 2023 financial year and the last known eligible shares, would be reduced by €2,550,619. The final loss of exemption amount will further increase depending on the holding period of the shares in question.
The potential impact on the Company lies in the fact that its shareholders may claim against it if the permit is withdrawn due to an action of the Company in contravention of the recognition conditions. The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as low.
In this case too, Care Property Invest permanently monitors the statutory requirements and compliance with these within the team, with the support of specialised external advisers. It also maintains an intensive dialogue with the Flemish tax authority (Vlabel).
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk as described above, as low in terms of probability and moderate in terms of the size.
(1) The initial portfolio relates to the finance leases (with as at 31/12/2023 a balance sheet value (finance lease receivables) of €156,518,610 and a generated rental flow of €17,000,894) that the Company entered into until 2014.
As a public RREC, the Company is subject to the RREC legislation, which contains restrictions regarding the activities, the debt ratio, the processing of results, conflicts of interest and corporate governance. The ability to (continually) meet these specific requirements depends inter alia on the Company's ability to successfully manage its asset and liability position and on compliance with strict internal audit procedures.
The Company may not be able to meet these requirements in the event of a significant change in its financial position or other changes. The Company is therefore also exposed to the risk of future amendments of the legislation on regulated real estate companies. There is also the risk that the FSMA, as the supervisory authority, will impose sanctions in the event of a violation of applicable rules, including the loss of the RREC status. If the Company were to lose its certificate as an RREC, it would no longer enjoy the different fiscal system for RRECs and the full taxable base for corporation tax would therefore become applicable. This would mean an additional corporation tax liability for Care Property Invest of about €7.7 million or approximately €0.21 per share.
Furthermore, as a rule the loss of the permit for RREC status is noted in the Company's credit agreements as a circumstance as a result of which the loans that the Company has contracted could become payable on demand. (See risk factor '3.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to non-compliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters' on page 39). Similarly, losing the RREC status would also prevent the Company from applying the reduced withholding tax rate of 15% on its dividends (see risk factor '4.1 Risks associated with changes in the withholding tax rate' on page 45.
In addition, the Company's activities have been internationalised (the Company has to date realised investments in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, and Ireland). This internationalisation implies an increased complexity of the legislative framework, including the foreign legislation of the country of investment and international (tax) law to which the Company is directly or indirectly (through a subsidiary) subject.
Subsidiaries of the Company that do not have the status of a RREC or a specialised real estate investment fund (GVBF) remain subject to corporate tax like any other Company, and to the extent that the Company directly owns real estate abroad, the Company may be subject to local taxes. For its activities in Spain, the Company can apply the SOCIMI status ('sociedades cotizadas de inversión en el mercado inmobiliario') (similar to the RREC status in Belgium). For its activities in The Netherlands (excluding the activities of its subsidiaries Care Property Invest. NL10 B.V.(1) and Care Property Invest. NL11 B.V.(2)), it can apply the FBI status ('fiscale beleggingsinstelling') (also similar to the RREC status in Belgium). For its activities in Ireland, the application of a tax-favourable status appears to be ruled out, making these subject to local regular
corporation tax.
In addition to the risk of a change in the tax framework specific to RRECs (GVV's), there is also a risk that the tax framework in the other countries in which the Company operates may change, for example with regard to the applicable tax regime and/or tax rates, or the interpretation or practical application of the underlying rules. This could lead to a higher tax burden for the relevant activities, or to discussions and proceedings with the competent tax authorities, which could give rise to procedural costs, penalties and default interest in addition to possible taxes due. The ultimate consequence of this could be that fewer dividends flow to the Company and thus fewer dividends could be distributed to the Company's Shareholders. For instance, as part of a budget agreement in the Netherlands, it was decided to abolish the FBI status from 1 January 2025. Based on the figures for the 2023 financial year, this would mean an additional corporate income tax liability for Care Property Invest of about €0.4 million or about €0.01 per share.
of the risk
Care Property Invest therefore permanently monitors the statutory requirements and compliance with these within the team, with the support of specialised external advisers. It also has regular contacts with government authorities and regularly takes part in study days of associations and federations that represent the sector, such as the NPO BE-REIT Association, which it co-founded.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk, as low to moderate in terms of probability and high in terms of impact on the Company.

(1) As at the date of this document, the Company has not yet received official confirmation from the Dutch tax authorities that the FBI status is deemed applicable to Care Property Invest. NL10 B.V.
(2) The Company has not applied for the FBI status for Care Property Invest.NL11 B.V., given the announced abolition as of January 2025.
Care Property Invest may be exposed to potential physical climate risks due to rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and increasing temperatures. Although the current portfolio is located in relatively low-risk areas, climate change could pose long-term challenges, particularly in coastal regions of The Netherlands. Properties in Spain are less vulnerable to rising sea levels due to their altitude. Additionally, the projected rise in global temperatures, ranging from 1.5°C to 5°C by the year 2100, suggests an increased risk of heat waves, which southern European countries are already experiencing. This phenomenon is expected to intensify in central and northern Europe in the medium- and long-term.
Besides physical climate risks, failure to integrate sustainability into business operations can lead to transition climate risks. Given the increasing importance of sustainability for financial institutions and investors, this may result in increased financing costs and difficulties in attracting investors.
The potential impacts of these climate risks for Care Property Invest could be significant. With healthcare housing facilities primarily serving elderly individuals, who are particularly vulnerable to weather fluctuations, the lack of adequate climate control solutions could lead to decreased real estate values and difficulties in renting out units. Moreover, the heightened demand for climate control solutions could increase the energy intensity and carbon footprint of buildings, potentially adding operational costs and environmental concerns. In extreme cases, properties lacking effective climate control could face reduced attractiveness to tenants, impacting the company's revenue streams and overall financial performance.
Additionally, coastal flooding risks, especially in regions like The Netherlands, could exacerbate these challenges, underscoring the importance of proactive measures to enhance the resilience and sustainability of Care Property Invest's portfolio.
To assess the probability and impact of these risks, Care Property Invest appointed an independent third party to conduct a risk analytics study on our portfolio based on Value-at-Risk simulation methodologies. Based on this study, Care Property Invest assesses the probability of these risks as moderate in the very long term. If the risks materialise, the negative impact would be high.
Care Property Invest has implemented various mitigating actions to address physical and transition climate risks. Building locations are carefully selected to minimise flood risk. Risk areas in The Netherlands are also proactively managed. Comprehensive insurance coverage and local government measures protect against potential flood-related losses.
In new developments, Care Property Invest prioritises integrating air-conditioning and climate-control systems to minimise heat entry, utilising features like blinds and solar control glazing. The company aims to transition towards energy-independent buildings by incorporating renewable energy sources to mitigate carbon footprint risks.
Moreover, the Company has drafted a sustainable finance framework to support its sustainability initiatives, and environmental requirements and reporting compliance are permanently monitored.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk, as moderate in terms of probability and high in terms of impact on the Company.

Founded on 30 October 1995, Care Property Invest was the first listed real estate investor in the form of a real estate investment fund (BEVAK - currently RREC) specialised in housing for seniors. Care Property Invest develops and finances affordable, high-quality and attractive care infrastructure and various forms of housing for seniors and people with disabilities such as: residential care centres, short-stay centres, groups of assisted living apartments and residential complexes for people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities.
Within healthcare real estate, Care Property Invest targets following activities, both in the public and private domain in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland:
As a healthcare real estate investor, we achieve sustainable growth for all our stakeholders through following possible investment opportunities:
In a 'Design-Build-Finance' (DBF) formula, Care Property Invest is responsible for relieving the initiator completely by taking on the project development, from architecture, cooperation with contractors, project realisation and follow-up up to and including project financing.
The initiator gives a right of superficies (on a building plot or an existing building in need of renovation) to Care Property Invest for at least 32 years.
The Company fully relieves the initiator and is responsible for obtaining the necessary environmental permit for the construction of the project during the development and construction phase. Care Property Invest also oversees the progress of the works, monitors the budget and provides longterm financing for your project.
Upon provisional completion, Care Property Invest makes the project available to the operator through a right of leasehold for at least 27 years, with the leaseholder paying an annually indexed canon (ground rent) to Care Property Invest. Receiving recurring income from owned property is the core business of any Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and should not be confused with financing activities. After the right of superficies expires (and to the extent that no outstanding canon is subject to payment), the building becomes the property of the landowner by accession.
With the possibility of extending the DBF formula to 'Maintain', Care Property Invest responds to that growing demand for complete takeover of the property-related tasks (management and maintenance).
This component is also closely aligned with Care Property Invest's initial investment portfolio (finance leases). The Company consistently records the income from the historical portfolio, or even all financial leases entered into by the Company after inception, as rental income and not as interest income or any financial income, as would be the case for a mortgage REIT.
Besides the DBF(M) formula, Care Property Invest also acquires land and/or buildings and projects under construction/development by healthcare entrepreneurs. Care Property Invest also takes on the redevelopment of existing buildings.
Care Property Invest will always make these projects available on a longterm basis to operators specialising in operating residential care centres, groups of assisted living apartments, residential places for people with disabilities, etc.
The management of the Company ensures that all the requirements of the Regulated Real Estate Companies Act ('RREC Law') and the Regulated Real Estate Companies Royal Decree ('RREC RD') are always observed.

• Herfinancieren van bestaande gebouwen: bestaande gebouwen die aan een grondige renovatie toe zijn, kunnen via een recht van erfpacht, recht van opstal of gewoon door aankoop doorgeschoven worden naar Care Property Invest. Na renovatie zal de Vennootschap deze tevens ter beschikking stellen van
een ervaren exploitant. • Investeren in zorgvastgoed:
het verwerven van gronden en/of gebouwen, projecten in uitvoering en ontwikkelingen. Care Property Invest stelt deze projecten daarna ter beschikking van de exploitant op basis
van een langetermijnovereenkomst.
When realising healthcare real estate investments, Care Property Invest upholds its mission statement and values.
Together with private and public healthcare entrepreneurs, Care Property Invest realises high-quality and socially responsible real estate tailored to the end users in a sustainable way.
Care Property Invest is confidently constructing the future together with a competent and diverse team from a solid organisation.
Care Property Invest offers a stable longterm return for its shareholders.

Care Property Invest always executes both current and future projects after completing a detailed research process, conducted both internally and by external research agencies. As a result, it can make an accurate assessment of the potential risks associated with every project. The internal processes are also monitored from close by and are adjusted on time where necessary to guarantee the smooth operation of the organisation. Care Property Invest aims for the highest possible form of professionalism in all its activities.
Through integrity, Care Property Invest aims for a lasting relationship of trust with its shareholders, employees, the operators of its healthcare real estate, contractors, the political world, the RREC sector and all stakeholders in general.
In a rapidly changing world, Care Property Invest aims to continuously improve its own working processes and structures. By proactively growing with change, the Company creates strong support for innovation and arms itself for the challenges of the future.
The current strategy for residential healthcare real estate for senior citizens is based on the progressive ageing of the population which, according to the Federal Planning Bureau, will peak by 2070.
Now and in the coming decades, this will lead to an increasing demand for healthcare real estate with social added value. A similar trend also applies to The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland in terms of population ageing figures. For more details, we refer to the graphs presented hereafter, which show the demographic evolution in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Ireland.
This demographic evolution in combination with the Company's growth strategy, fulfilment of the corporate purpose and the fact that as a RREC it invests for 100% in healthcare real estate that is let for a very long period of time, ensures that the share always provides a stable return for its shareholders, and this at a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% (instead of the general rate of 30%).
Care Property Invest spreads its risks by ensuring a good geographic market distribution of its real estate, diversifying between the operators of its real estate and by creating a good balance between public-private and private partnerships. These issues have therefore been some key drivers for the Company to look geographically across national borders. Thus, in September 2018 the Company took the step towards the Dutch healthcare real estate market, in June 2020 towards the Spanish healthcare real estate and finally in 2022 the Company also continued its strategy by investing in the Irish healthcare real estate market.
The careful selection of new projects for the Company always takes place after a detailed risk analysis with a well-founded assessment of the investment file by the Executive Committee, subject to positive advice from the Investment Committee or by the Board of Directors of the Company.
This may involve the Company developing the property itself, or building and funding the construction, but may also involve refinancing or acquiring existing buildings, with an option of renovation or expansion, both in the private and the public market.
The main selection criteria are presented
below:
• Correct price-quality ratio of the project in view of long-term value creation; • Potential returns of the project; • Solvency, reputation and spread of
• Good location of the project: easy access, both by car and by public transport and absence of other healthcare real estate. For this purpose, an extensive market research is always carried out.
• Environment: in the immediate vicinity of a village/city centre with shops, pharmacies and catering facilities; • The property complies with high quality standards in combination with advanced technological equipment and perfectly
meets the needs of the Care Property Invest target public while also evaluating its compliance with certain ESG criteria.
In essence, Care Property Invest's strategy is of the 'buy and hold' type, and as such, is by definition aimed at keeping the property in the long term.

The Company aligns its financial strategy with the growth it achieves. By continuously expanding its scale, the Company strives for a competitive distribution of debt and capital costs and an improvement of its operating margin.
For equity, Care Property Invest relies on the capital market. By means of capital increases in cash and in kind, counterbalanced by immediately profitable assets and/or a concrete pipeline, the Company can achieve and maintain earnings per share growth.
Care Property Invest aims to finance itself in the best possible way, making use of shareholders' equity and borrowed funds.
As a RREC, Care Property Invest is fully aware of the importance of its dividend policy for its shareholders. The Company therefore endeavours to increase its dividend whenever this is sustainably possible. This prevents the Company from having to reduce this again in a later financial year.
Given the Company's growth, management wants to reserve as much of the profit as possible to be able to reinvest within the statutory framework. In doing so, the Company aims for a pay-out ratio (pay-out ratio of dividend per share compared to earnings per share) as close as possible to the statutory minimum of 80%. In addition, the Company aims to sustainably increase the dividend, and annually explores the possibility of an optional dividend.
Despite the already improved liquidity of its share, Care Property Invest is still in the process of increasing this further in order to boost the attractiveness of its share by appointing a liquidity provider.
Care Property Invest aims to raise borrowed funds as diversified as possible. In doing so, it aims to further diversify its credit providers in Belgium but also abroad and has a €300 million MTN programme with the obligation that all outstanding commercial paper is covered by unused capacity on credit lines.
Care Property Invest limits its liquidity risk by keeping sufficient credit lines available for its short-term needs and the financing of additional investments the next 12
months.
In addition, there is also a liquidity risk if the Company would no longer respect the covenants linked to these credit agreements. These covenants contain market-based provisions on, among other things, the debt ratio and compliance with the provisions of the RREC Legislation. Care Property Invest monitors the parameters of these covenants on a regular basis and whenever a new investment is
being considered.
At the end of the financial year, Care Property Invest did not mortgage or pledge any building in its real estate portfolio.

Correct financing is necessary for a profitable and solid business model, in view of the capital-intensive character of the sector in which the Company operates and the Company's buy-and-hold strategy. As a result, the Company has a structural debt position with mainly bullet loans.
The Company's long-term objective is to have a debt ratio below 50%. This debt ratio allows for an optimal ratio of equity to debt. Also, such a debt ratio offers the possibility to respond to investment opportunities that create value for the Company. In the short term, the level of the debt ratio is partly determined by the then prevailing economic and financial conditions.
In addition, the Company also tries to limit the interest rate risk on its debts by striving for a hedging percentage of its debts between 75% and 80%. Care Property Invest closely monitors developments on the financial markets in order to optimise its financial structure and to obtain a good composition of short and long-term financing and the conclusion of derivative contracts in order to achieve the desired hedging percentage. The Company also takes into account the long-term income from its investments in the average duration of its loans.
By contracting long-term leasehold and rental agreements, Care Property Invest creates long-term cash flows. Through the triple net character(1) of these contracts with solid operators and the transfer of the vacancy risk to the operator(2), the Company succeeds in maintaining a low risk profile. In addition, the annual indexation of the rent provides protection against inflation. The fact that on 31 December 2023 about a quarter of the rental income still comes from agreements with local authorities reinforced the low risk profile and made the Company unique compared to other RRECs.
This applies all the more since the healthcare real estate is linked to the demographic factors which, in view of the underlying demographic trend of the ageing of the population, are favourable, rather than to economic trends.

Care Property Invest launched a capital increase by means of contribution in cash within the authorised capital on 11 January 2023 with the removal of the statutory preferential right and the grant of irreducible allocation rights to all existing shareholders.
The main objective of this capital increase was to allow the Company to raise new financial resources while increasing its equity.
Following the public offering to subscribe for new shares and the successful private placement of scrips, the Company announced on 20 January 2023 that existing shareholders and new investors have subscribed to 100% of the offered new shares for a gross amount of €110,966,496 of which €55,016,264 will be allocated to the item capital and €55,950,232 to the item share premium. Following this transaction, the Company's capital will be represented by 36,988,833 fully paid-up shares.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders held on 26 April 2023, it was decided by a large majority of 93.21% to renew the authorisation on authorised capital.
The extraordinary general meeting of shareholders decided to renew and replace the authorisation on the authorised capital as follows:
For a maximum amount of €110,032,531 for capital increases in cash involving planned exercise of the statutory preferential subscription right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders.
For a maximum amount of €44,013,012 for capital increases within the framework of the payment of an optional dividend.
For a maximum amount of €22,006,506 for (i) capital increases in kind, (ii) capital increases in cash without the possibility of exercising the preferential subscription right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders, or (iii) any other form of capital increase.
The authorisation is valid for a period of two years starting from the publication of the resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and was granted under the condition that the capital within the framework of the authorised capital shall never be increased by an amount exceeding €220,065,062. In other words, the sum of the capital increases with application of the above authorisations may not exceed €220,065,062 in total. Given the specific modalities, this will never be the case, as they only allow up to €176,052,049.
For the documentation relating to this extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and for more information, please consult the Company's website (www.carepropertyinvest.be/en/ investments/general-meeting/).
Care Property Invest was awarded the EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the second time in September 2023. The Company is delighted with this recognition for its efforts in sustainability reporting.
The Company also received the EPRA BPR Gold Award in September 2023 for the seventh consecutive time for its continued high transparency in financial reporting.
In August 2023, Care Property Invest achieved a significant milestone in its commitment to sustainability. We are pleased to announce that our near-term and net-zero science-based emissions reduction targets were officially approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Care Property Invest's commitment is reflected in our validated targets, which include a 42% reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, measured against a 2022 base year. Furthermore, we have set a net-zero objective for 2050, with a commitment to reduce scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to our 2022 base year. These targets demonstrate our commitment to addressing the global climate challenge.
As we move forward, Care Property Invest remains dedicated to implementing strategies that will enable us to meet these science-based targets.
We will continue to report our progress transparently and keep our stakeholders updated on our ongoing efforts to achieve
these goals.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is focused on accelerating companies across the world to halve emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050.
The initiative is a collaboration between CDP, United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and one of the We Mean Business Coalition commitments. The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting, offers resources and guidance to reduce barriers to adoption and independently assesses and approves companies' targets.

Both the weighted average number of outstanding shares and the number of shares amounted to 27,741,625 as at 31 December 2022 and increased to 36,988,833 as at 31 December 2023. At neither date did the Company hold any treasury shares.
The number of shares changed following the realisation of a capital increase in cash on 24 January 2023, as a result of which 9,247,208 new shares were issued. As of this date, the Company's share capital amounts to €220,065,062 and is represented by a total of 36,988,833 fully paid-up shares.
The gross return is calculated in table '3.2 Net result per share on a consolidated basis' by dividing the net result per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495) on the one hand and the market value on the closing date on the other hand. In table '3.3 Components of the net result', the gross yield is calculated by dividing the adjusted EPRA earnings per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495), on the one hand, and the market capitalisation on the closing date, on the other. The share price was €14.26 as at 31 December 2023 and €15.76 as at 31 December 2022. There are no instruments that have a potentially dilutive effect on the net result per share.
The Company's operating result decreased by 56.56% compared to 31 December 2022, while the operating result before result on portfolio for the same period increased by 23.96%.
Rental income as at 31 December 2023 increased by 21.20% compared to the same period last year. The increase in rental income is explained by (i) the indexation of the already existing rental agreements (unchanged portfolio) which has been fully passed on and averages 10.42% as at 31 December 2023 representing an amount of €5.0 million, (ii) the acquisition of new investment properties and (iii) the completion of development projects in 2023. Likewise, the acquired and completed investment properties during 2022 contribute to the increased rental income in 2023.
Rental income from investment properties represents 73% of total rental income as at 31 December 2023, while canons the Company receives from its finance leases amount to 27% of total rental income. With respect to the EBITDA, investment properties represent 76% and finance leases 24%. For more information on this distribution, please refer to the table on the result per businessmodel at the bottom of this section.
As at 31 December 2023, the Company had no outstanding rent receivables for which receivables had to be transferred to the doubtful debtors.
As at the date of this report, 99% of the total rent invoiced for the 2023 financial year was effectively collected including indexations charged in full.
The Company's general expenses increased by €1,149,356 compared to 31 December 2022. A significant part of this increase can be attributed to the increase in remuneration and personnelrelated costs as a result of the indexation as of 1 January 2023 and the increase of the average workforce from 24.2 FTEs as at 31 December 2022 to 26.3 FTEs as at 31 December 2023.
In addition, the Company's growth also contributes to the increase in the Company's general expenses, which translates into, among other things, an increase in external advice costs.
Other operating income and expenses
decreased from €-2,110,541 as at 31 December 2022 to €-2,327,627 as at 31 December 2023.
As at 31 December 2023, other operating income consists mainly of the fees for project management of €551,389, which largely concerns the recovery of the pre-financing of existing Dutch and Spanish projects, contributing to the Company's cash result. This item also includes the profit and loss margin on projects of €-2,770,061, mainly consisting of the write-off of the trade receivable for a Belgian property (finance lease) after the Company was notified of the bankruptcy of the operator concerned. The Company stresses that it has only 1 project in portfolio with this operator, representing only 0.7% of the total rental income as at 31 December 2023. The Company is committed to obtaining a structural solution for this property and is in full discussion with various parties to that end. This write-off concerns a non-cash element which is corrected for the calculation of the adjusted EPRA earnings.
Although the Company has been very successful in passing on inflation to its tenants, variations in the fair value of investment properties amount to
€-25,796,855 as at 31 December 2023 due to upward pressure on yields. Also here, these are unrealised variations that are corrected in the adjusted EPRA earnings.
Interest expenses increased mainly due to sharply rising interest rates on the market. This is therefore reflected in the increase of the weighted average interest rate, which amounts to 3.15% based on outstanding loans as at 31 December 2023 compared to 2.14% as at 31 December 2022. In order to minimise the impact of rising market interest rates, the Company uses interest rate swaps. As at 31 December 2023, 94.32% of its outstanding debts were therefore hedged. The increase in the hedge ratio from 69.42% on 31 December 2022 is attributable to (i) the capital increase through which variable rate debt was repaid and (ii) the conclusion of additional interest rate swaps in the course of 2023.
On 10 March 2023, the outstanding Sustainability Bonds amounting to €32.5 million were repaid for reasons of opportunity. This entailed a one-off cost of approximately €1.1 million related to issuance costs and hedging costs that were fully included in the income statement in the first quarter. These costs are part of the other financial costs and were already taken into account in the EPS-DPS guidance given by the Company in its press releases dated 8 March 2023 for the full 2023 financial year.
As compensation, an additional €30.5 million was drawn on the sustainable rollover credit with ABN-AMRO, making full use of this line from then on.
The financial result was affected as at 31 December 2023 for an amount of €17,777,951 due to the inclusion of the fair value of the authorised financial instruments. As at 31 December 2023, the total impact to date is €4,002,391, compared to €21,780,342 as at 31 December 2022.
The variation in fair value of financial assets and liabilities is a non-cash element and is therefore not taken into account for the calculation of the distributable result, i.e., the adjusted EPRA earnings.
The amount of taxes as at 31 December 2023 includes estimated and prepaid corporation taxes as well as deferred taxes (receivable) related to the Irish real estate projects.
The adjusted EPRA earnings on a consolidated basis amounted to €37,981,630 as at 31 December 2023 compared to €34,341,235 as at 31 December 2022. This represents an increase of 10.60%. However, the adjusted EPRA earnings per share decreased from €1.2379 as at 31 December 2022 to €1.0268 as at 31 December 2023. This decrease of -17.05% is mainly due to the issue of 9,247,208 new shares as at 24 January 2023 following the capital increase in cash.

The Company's real estate portfolio increased by €60,196,063 in the 2023 financial year. The variation is explained by (i) the acquisition of investment properties (€35,9 million), (ii) the further completion of development projects as well as improvements to already existing investment properties (€35.3 million), (iii) the acquisition of new development projects (€13.0 million) and (iv) the decrease in fair value of the total portfolio (€23.9 million). In the course of 2023, 4 projects were completed with a conventional value of €35.5 million.
The real estate experts confirm the fair value of the real estate portfolio at a total amount of € 993.2 million (excluding €1.3 million in rights in rem). The fair value is equal to the investment value (or the value deed-in-hand, being the value in which all acquisition costs were included) from which the transaction costs were deducted for an amount of 2.5% for the real estate in Belgium, 10.9% for the real estate in The Netherlands and 9.96% for the real estate in Ireland. For real estate in Spain, these are determined by the region where the property is located.
As at 31 December 2023, this item contains €4,775,348 of 'tangible fixed assets for own use', which are almost unchanged from 31 December 2022 and largely relate to the head office in Schoten.
Finance lease receivables The item 'finance lease receivables' includes all final building rights fees that are due for repayment at the end of the contract for the 76 projects in the initial portfolio and during the term of the contract for the projects 'Hof ter Moere' in Moerbeke (BE), 'Hof Driane' in Herenthout (BE) and 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' in Middelkerke (BE).
Unlike the projects in the initial portfolio, for the aforementioned reason, the ground rent for the projects in Moerbeke, Herenthout and Middelkerke consists not only of a revenue component, but also of a repayment of the investment value, as a result of which the amount of the receivable will gradually decrease over the term of the leasehold agreement.
As a result of the bankruptcy of the operator of one of the Belgian leasing projects in portfolio (this project amounts to only 0.7% of the total rental income), the Company is currently in full discussion with various parties to obtain a structural solution for this property. The book value of this property was therefore included under the item 'assets held
for sale'.
The difference between the nominal value of the building lease payments (included under the item 'finance lease receivables') and the fair value, which at the time of making available is calculated by discounting future cash flows, is included under the item 'trade receivables' and is depreciated on an annual basis. As a result of the bankruptcy of the operator of one of the Belgian leasing projects in portfolio, the recorded trade receivable was
written off in full as a matter of prudence. This write-off is a non-cash adjustment and therefore has no impact on the Company's adjusted EPRA earnings.
The fair value of the finance leases amounted to €242,103,000 as at 31 December 2023 and has been calculated using a modified method since the second quarter of 2023.
The 'old' calculation method, in which the future cash flows were discounted using IRS interest rates prevailing on the closing date, depending on the remaining term of the underlying contract, plus a margin, used the initial cash flows (i.e. the contractual rent at the start of the contract without taking into account the indexations already passed on). Given the current macroeconomic environment of increased inflation, this led to an unjustifiably large decrease in the fair value of the finance leases. Consequently, if this method is retained, this no longer gives a true and fair view of the fair value of the finance leases, resulting in a too conservative representation of the EPRA NTA and EPRA LTV, among others.
For the above reasons, the Company had opted to use a reputable independent party, namely Cushman & Wakefield, to calculate the fair value from the second quarter of 2023 onwards, in order to obtain a marketbased valuation of this portfolio.
The fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows, taking into account historical indexations for the cash flows.
As discount rate they exercise OLO interest rates prevailing on the closing date, depending on the remaining maturity of the underlying contract, increased by a margin. As at 31 December 2023, the weighted average OLO interest rate amounted to 2.68% and the weighted average risk margin was 1.04%. This results in an average value of €115,728 per assisted living apartment, which can still be considered conservative given that future indexations are not taken into account.
The fair value as at 31 December 2023 calculated using the 'old' calculation method would amount to €191,754,926 or €91,661 per assisted housing unit, taking into account a weighted average IRS interest rate of 2.48% and a weighted average risk margin of 1.04%.
assets decreased from €8,646,822 as at 31 December 2022 to €733,082 as at 31 December 2023. As at 31 December 2022, €6.9 million related to recoverable VAT in Spain as a result of the silent mergers of the Spanish subsidiaries with Care Property Invest Spain Socimi S.L.U. This amount was received in August 2023.
Haacht (BE) I Klapgat Debts and liabilities

The decrease in financial debts compared to 31 December 2022 is due to the capital increase that took place in January 2023. In fact, the net proceeds of this capital increase were initially used to repay part of the outstanding financial liabilities.
As at 31 December 2023, the Company has an MTN programme at Belfius (arranger) amounting to €300 million with dealers Belfius and KBC. The Company has set up the necessary backup lines for this purpose. As at 31 December 2023, the amount included is €39.0 million in commercial paper and €26.0 million in bonds.
| Amounts in EUR | 31/12/2023 | 31/12/2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Average remaining term of financial debt | 5.42 | 5.94 |
| Nominal amount of current and non-current financial debts | 542,454,186 | 583,211,873 |
| Weighted average interest rate (1) | 3.15% | 2.14% |
| Nominal amount of derivative instruments | 375,652,542 | 156,106,292 |
| Fair value of hedging instruments | 4,002,391 | 21,780,342 |
(1) The weighted average interest rate refers to interest rates after conversion of variable interest rates to fixed interest rates through swaps.
As at 31 December 2023, the Company has hedged 94.32% of its debts, either by means of an interest rate swap or by means of a fixed interest rate. The Company entered into 7 additional interest rate swaps with a notional value of €220 million during the 2023 financial year. The weighted average remaining maturity of the interest rate swaps amounted to 8.13 years. The graph below shows the evolution of the hedge ratio for the following years, based on the credit portfolio as at 31 December 2023.

The consolidated debt ratio, calculated in accordance with Article 13, §1, 2° of the RREC Decree, was 46.65% as at 31 December 2023. The available margin as at 31 December 2023 for further investments and completion of the development projects already acquired before reaching a debt ratio of 60% (imposed by the covenants) amounts to €399.3 million. The Company stresses that its strategy is to keep the debt ratio below 50%. Before reaching this percentage, it still has a capacity of €80.2 million.
The other non-current financial liabilities relate to the inclusion of the fair value of the financial instruments entered. Financial instruments with a positive fair value are included in the item financial fixed assets.
The other non-current liabilities amount to €2,226,558 and have increased slightly compared to 31 December 2022. They concern the debts relating to the rights in rem for the projects 'La Résidence du Lac' in Genval (BE) and 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (NL), which are included in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.
The other current liabilities have decreased in comparison to 31 December 2022 to an amount of €2,735,556 and relate to short-term liabilities with respect to development projects.

(1) In accordance with the RREC Law, the net value per share is calculated on the basis of the total number of shares less own shares. On neither date did the Company hold any own shares.
Taking into account the minimum distribution obligation pursuant to Article 13 of the RREC Decree, the Board of Directors will propose to the Company's annual general meeting on 29 May 2024 to distribute a total gross dividend for the 2023 financial year of €36,988,833 or €1.00 per share. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this represents a net dividend of €0.85 per share.
This represents, despite the increase in the number of shares entitled to dividend by 9,247,208, an equivalent to the dividend paid for the 2022 financial year. As a result, the payout ratio is 108.08% at statutory level and 97.39% at consolidated level, based on adjusted EPRA earnings.
In accordance with Article 13 of the RREC Decree, no dividend is to be paid as the net decrease in debt exceeds 80% of the statutory adjusted result.
| Number of shares with rights to dividends | 36,988,833 |
|---|---|
| Remuneration of the capital | € 36,988,833 |
| Gross dividend per share | € 1.00 |
| Gross yield in relation to the share price as at 31 December 2023 | 7.01% |
| Net dividend per share (1) | € 0.85 |
| Net yield in relation to the share price as at 31 December 2023 | 5.96% |
| Dividend payment | from 4 June 2024 |
(1) Gross dividend after deduction of the 15% withholding tax.
The debt ratio is calculated in accordance with Section 13, paragraph 1, bullet 2 of the RREC-RD (Royal Decree regarding Regulated Real Estate Companies) and amounts to 46.65% as at 31 December 2023. Given the fact that Care Property Invest does not exceeds the debt ratio of 50%, it is not required to prepare a financial plan in accordance with article 24 of the RREC RD.
On the basis of the balance sheet and the global result statement for the 2023 financial year, a forecast has been made for the following financial years, in accordance with the Company's accounting policy and in a manner comparable to the historical financial information.
The following hypotheses are used as points of view:
the decrease in financing during the 2023 financial year due to the capital increase. They also take into account increased interest rates due to changed market conditions.
• Additional financing costs for acquisitions in the course of 2024 were also taken into account.
Assumptions regarding factors that cannot be influenced by the members of the Company's administrative, management and supervisory bodies directly:
Based on the aforementioned assumptions, the Company still has sufficient margin to make additional investments before the maximum debt ratio of 65% is exceeded on a consolidated basis. The consolidated debt ratio as calculated in accordance with Section 13 of the RREC-RD amounts to 46.65% as at 31 December 2023.
The Company expects the debt ratio to increase in the 2024 financial year based on additional investments and further completion of the projects currently in development.
The Board of Directors evaluates its liquidity needs in due time and may, in order to prevent the maximum debt ratio from being reached, consider a capital increase, which might include a contribution in kind.
Based on the current existing agreements that will still generate income for an average of 14.62 years, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company foresees a stable dividend for the 2024 financial year. The Company's solvency is supported by the stable value of its real estate projects and long-term macro trends, in particular the ageing population in the markets where the Company operates.
Taking into account the current economic uncertainty and its impact on Care Property Invest's results, the Company expects to receive €69.5 million in rental income for the 2024 financial year, representing an increase in rental income of approximately 5% compared to the 2023 financial year (total rental income for the 2023 financial year amounted to approximately €66 million).
The Company therefore expects, partly due to the impact of rising market interest rates, to realise an adjusted EPRA result of between €1.00 and €1.02 for 2024.
Care Property Invest intends to pay out a gross dividend of €1.00 per share for the 2024 financial year. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this results in a net dividend of €0.85 per share.
(1) With the exception of the project 'Les Terrasses du Bois' in Watermaal-Bosvoorde, for which a long-term double net agreement was concluded and the project 'Tilia' in Gullegem for which a long-term single net agreement was concluded.
As a statutory auditor of the Company and applying Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Commission of 14 June 2017 and Regulation (EU) 2019/980 of 14 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, we have prepared, upon request by the Company's board of directors, the present report on the forecasts of the adjusted EPRA earnings per share and the rental income for the 12 months period ending 31 December 2024 (the "Forecasts") of Care Property Invest nv/sa, included in the paragraph II.5 "Outlook" of their yearly financial report as of 31 December 2023 as approved by the board of directors on 23 April 2024 of the Company.
The assumptions included in the paragraph II.5 "Outlook" result in the following consolidated financial forecasts for the accounting year 2024:
It is the Company's directors' responsibility to prepare the EPRA earnings Forecasts, together with the material assumptions upon which it is based, in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Commission of 14 June 2017 and Regulation (EU) 2019/980 of 14 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.
It is our responsibility to provide an opinion on the Forecasts as allowed by Annex I, section 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/980 of 14 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. We are not required nor do we express an opinion on the possibility to achieve that result or on the assumptions underlying these Forecasts.
We performed our work in accordance with the auditing standards applicable in Belgium, as issued by the "Instituut van de Bedrijfsrevisoren" / "Institut des Réviseurs d'Entreprises" including related guidance from its research institute and on the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3400 relating to the examination of prospective financial information. Our work included an evaluation of the procedures undertaken by management and the board of directors of the Company in compiling the Forecasts and procedures aimed at verifying the consistency of the methods used for the Forecasts with the accounting policies normally adopted by the Company. We planned and performed our work so as to obtain all the information and explanations that we considered necessary in order to provide us with reasonable assurance that the Forecasts have been properly compiled on the basis stated. Since the Forecasts and the assumptions on which they are based relate to the future and may therefore be affected by unforeseen events, we can express no opinion as to whether the actual results reported will correspond to those shown in the Forecasts. Any differences may be material.
In our opinion:
(i) the Forecasts have been properly compiled on the basis stated; and
(ii) the basis of accounting used for these Forecasts is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

The Company's activities are situated in an economic climate that involves risks. The main risk factors (included here in implementation of Article 3:32 BCCA but explained in detail in a separate section of the annual financial report) which Care Property Invest faces, are regularly monitored by both Management and the Board of Directors, which have defined a prudent policy in this regard and which, if necessary, regularly adjust this policy.
The following risks are discussed in detail in Chapter 'I. Risk factors' on page 28 et seq. of this report: market risks, operational risks, financial risks, regulatory risks and other risks.
Care Property Invest has not undertaken any activities within the meaning of Articles 3:6, 3:7, 3:8 and 3:32 BCCA.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders held on 26 April 2023, it was decided by a large majority of 93.21% to renew the authorisation regarding the authorised capital.
| Date | Type of operation | Authorised capital |
|---|---|---|
| 26/04/2023 | Renewal of authorisation regarding the authorised capital | 176,052,049 |
| Modalities: | ||
| - Capital increases in cash involving planned exercise of the statutory preferential subscription right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders |
110,032,531 | |
| - Capital increases within the framework of the payment of an optional dividend |
44,013,012 | |
| - Capital increases (i) in kind, (ii) in cash without the possibility of exercising the preferential subscription right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders, or (iii) any other form of capital increases |
22,006,506 | |
| Balance 2023 | 176,052,049 |
The authorisation is valid for a period of two years as of the publication of the decision of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and was granted under the condition that the capital, within the framework of the authorised capital, will never be increased by an amount exceeding €220,065,062. In other words, the sum of the capital increases applying the above-mentioned authorisations may not exceed €220,065,062 in total. Given the specific modalities, this will never be the case as they only give capacity up to €176,052,049.

As at 31 December 2023, Care Property Invest did not hold any own shares. No shares were transferred to executive management during the 2023 financial year either.


Care Property Invest ('The Company') recognises the importance of correct and transparent corporate governance and intends to ensure clear communication about this issue with all persons and parties involved. The Board of Directors therefore dedicates this specific chapter to corporate governance in its Annual Financial Report. This sets out the Company's practices relating to correct corporate governance during the relevant financial year, including the specific information required pursuant to the applicable legislation and the Corporate Governance Code.
This Corporate Government Statement is a chapter in the 2023 Annual Report and is part of the Report of the Board of Directors. It describes the situation as at 31 December 2023.
As from 2020, Care Property Invest applies the new Belgian Corporate Governance Code (the '2020 Code'), in addition to compliance with general and sectorspecific legislation and with its own Articles of Association, in accordance with the Royal Decree of 12 May 2019 specifying the corporate governance code to be complied with by listed companies. The Code 2020 is also available on the website of the Belgian Official Gazette and on www. corporategovernancecommittee.be.
The full Corporate Governance Charter (the 'Charter') sets out the principles, rules and agreements that determine the Company's management, checks and balances, and the company structure that form the framework of the Company's corporate governance. The Board of Directors
of Care Property Invest subscribes to these principles based on transparency and accountability. This enhances the shareholders' and investors' trust in the Company. From the Company's establishment onwards, Care Property Invest has considered fair and correct business conduct as a main priority. In addition, Care Property Invest attaches a great deal of importance to a good balance between the interests of the shareholders and those of the other parties that are directly or indirectly involved with the undertaking. The Board of Directors guarantees frequent updating of the Charter. On 18 March 2020, the Charter was adapted to the Code 2020, followed by a final update of the Charter on 23 January 2024. The latest version can be consulted on the Company's website, www. carepropertyinvest.be.
The Charter also includes the rules and code of conduct to prevent market abuse and insider dealing (the 'Dealing Code').
The Board of Directors makes every effort to comply at all times with the principles of corporate governance, always taking into account the specific character of the Company and applied the 2020 Code in 2023 in accordance with the 'comply or explain' principle. The scope and specific deviations from the 2020 Code are further explained in this Corporate Governance Statement (the 'Statement').
On 13 December 2023, Care Property Invest received congratulatory comments from the 'Corporate Governance Committee', stating that the Company complies with all provisions of the 2020 Code.

Care Property Invest deviated from the 2020 Code only on a limited number of points in 2023. The deviations from these recommendations could mainly be explained in light of the Company's activities and the associated operation and structure of the Board of Directors.
In revising its Charter and drawing up its remuneration policy (also referred to in the Charter), Care Property Invest decided to deviate from the following recommendations of the 2020 Code:
Recommendation 5.5: in line with the 2020 Code, non-executive directors should not hold more than five directorships in listed companies. Indeed, the Company believes that when comparing the amount of duties of the relevant director within the Company and the time commitment required as a result thereof with the amount and time commitment required of this relevant director in connection with other commitments or mandates in listed companies, in certain cases a deviation from this recommendation might be justified. For this reason, the Charter provides that the Board of Directors can grant permission to deviate from this recommendation. To date, however, no such deviation has been approved by the Board of Directors.
Recommendation 7.6: contrary to the 2020 Code, the Company does not pay its non-executive directors remuneration in the form of shares. This deviation is motivated by the fact that remuneration in shares is not well established in Belgian listed companies and more specifically in the RREC sector. The Company believes that the judgement of these directors - in particular as nonexecutive directors - is not affected by the absence of remuneration in shares.
Also, to the Company's knowledge, there is no international consensus yet that share-based remuneration guarantees that the interests of the non-executive directors are aligned with the shareholders' interests. The Company has decided to await the development of the practice of Belgian listed companies in general or more specifically in the RREC sector and to reconsider on a regular basis whether it could be in the interest of the Company and its shareholders to proceed to (partial) payment of non-executive directors in shares.
Recommendation 7.8: Contrary to the Code 2020, two of the executive directors do not receive variable remuneration. The absence of a variable remuneration and a remuneration in shares for these two executive directors and this distinction in remuneration with the other executive directors (CEO, COO and CFO) is justified in the light of the difference in scope of duties of these directors compared to the other executive directors (CEO, COO and CFO). The duties of the executive directors other than the CEO, COO and CFO mainly consist of the global supervision and monitoring of the day-to-day operations of the Company. In addition, they are always available to the CEO, COO and CFO for consultation and discussion concerning the daily management and operation of the Company. For this reason, the Company does not consider it appropriate to remunerate these executive directors in shares or to grant them a performancerelated remuneration. The Company is of the opinion that the absence of such remuneration does not prevent the interest of these executive directors from being in line with the shareholders' interest and does not affect the judgement of these executive directors.
This section describes the key characteristics of the systems that the Company has specified relating to internal auditing and risk management.
The Audit Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating the Company's risks and reports to the Board of directors, which approves the framework of the internal control systems and risk management set up by the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee is responsible for setting up a system of appropriate internal controls in accordance with Article 17 of the RREC Law. In addition, the Executive Committee is responsible for the overall supervision of this internal control system.
The Executive Committee is required to report to the Board of Directors on the internal control system for which it has the final responsibility.
These appropriate internal controls consist of three components, i.e.,
risk management (governance risk management + risk manager); 2. compliance (integrity policy and compliance function)
internal audit (internal audit procedures + internal audit function); whereas internal audit should not be seen solely as a stand-alone third pillar here, but also as playing a 'transversal' role with respect to the two other pillars.
The internal control system shall aim in particular to achieve the following elements:
An internal control system is set up within the Company, which is appropriate to the nature, scale and complexity of the business of the Company and its environment.
Care Property Invest has a relatively limited size in terms of employees, which has an impact on the structure and operation of the system of internal controls within the Company.
The design of the internal controls took account of the COSO-model (Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Threadway Commission), which is built around five components that are discussed below. Account was also taken of the guidelines in the context of the Law of 6 April 2010 to strengthen corporate governance in listed companies and autonomous public enterprises and to amend the regulation on professional prohibitions in the banking and financial sector and the 2020 Code.
The five control components considered were:
At least once a year, the Board of Directors examines the internal control and risk management systems set up by the Executive Committee in order to ensure that the main risks (including the risks related to compliance with existing laws and regulations) are properly identified, managed and be notified to the Board of Directors. Mr Dirk van den Broeck, managing director/member of the Executive Committee, was appointed as risk manager, in compliance with Article 17, §5 of the RREC Law. The mandate of Mr Dirk Van den Broeck as risk manager is of indefinite duration. He has the required professional reliability and the appropriate expertise. More information on risk management can be found in section 11.2.3 'Risk management'.
The Compliance Officer shall ensure that Care Property Invest complies with the applicable laws, regulations and rules of conduct, in particular the rules relating to the integrity of the Company's activities, by monitoring of the various risks which the Company runs on the basis of its Articles of Association and activities.
The Company has appointed Mr Jan Van Beers as Compliance Officer. The Compliance Officer is appointed for an indefinite duration and has the necessary professional reputation and appropriate expertise for the performance of his duties.
The internal audit function within the meaning of Article 17 §3 RREC Law was performed in 2023 by an external consultant. Until 31 January 2023, this was observed by Mazars Advisory Services, after which, since 1 February 2023, the internal audit function has been observed by the external consultant, BDO Advisory
bv/srl.
The Company has also appointed Mr Willy Pintens, managing director/member of the Executive Committee, as internal audit manager within the meaning of Article 17 §3 of the RREC Law. Mr Willy Pintens' mandate as internal audit manager is for an indefinite period of time. He has the required professional reliability and appropriate expertise.
For more information on the internal audit, please refer to title 11.2.4 'Control activities'
hereafter.
Care Property Invest's governing body has defined its own corporate culture and ethical rules, subscribing to the principles set out in its integrity policy.
Throughout the Company's organisation, the Company continuously highlights integrity, the ethical values and expertise of the personnel, the management style and its philosophy, the organisational culture in general, the policy relating to delegation of authorisations and responsibilities and the human resources policy. The integrity policy of Care Property Invest forms an inseparable part of its corporate culture and places particular emphasis on honesty and integrity, adherence to ethical standards and the specific applicable regulations. In that regard, the Company or its directors and its employees must conduct themselves with integrity, i.e., in an honest, reliable and trustworthy manner.
The integrity policy specifically includes, but is not limited to the following fields of work:
(i) rules on conflicts of interest, (ii) rules on incompatibility of mandates, (iii) the Company's code of ethics (iv) insider trading and abuse of power (insider trading and market manipulation), (v) rules on abuse of company property and bribery (Article 492 bis of the Criminal Code).
Care Property Invest has a compliance officer, within the meaning of Article 17 §4 of the RREC Law, who is responsible for ensuring compliance with the rules relating to the integrity of the Company, its directors, its effective leadership, employees and authorised
representative(s) and more specifically for drafting and testing recommendations. The Compliance Officer has always the possibility to directly contact the (chairman of) the Board of Directors. Since 2016, the company has had a compliance function charter, in which the working method and organisation of the compliance function are explained in more detail.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors supervises the integrity of financial information provided by Care Property Invest, in particular by assessing the relevance and consistency of the accounting standards applied by the Company, as provided for in Article 5 of the RREC RD. This supervision involves assessment of the accuracy, completeness and consistency of the financial information. This supervision covers the regular information before it is disclosed. In doing so, the Audit Committee shall inform the Board of Directors of the methods used for recording significant and unusual transactions, the processing of which may be open to different approaches.
The Board of Directors discusses these significant financial reporting issues with the Audit Committee as well as with the Executive Committee and the statutory auditor. In addition, the Board of Directors can always turn to the CFO, Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck. In this way, the financial reporting process to the Board of Directors is further strengthened. The financial statement and the (semi-)annual financial report are reviewed by the statutory auditor, who explains the work performed as part of his assignment to the Audit Committee.
At least once a year the Audit Committee examines the internal control and risk management systems set up by the Executive Committee in order to ensure that the main risks (including the risks related to compliance with existing laws and regulations) are properly identified, managed and be notified to the Board of Directors. As a result of the adoption of the status of RREC, a risk manager was appointed, in compliance with Article 17, §5 of the RREC Law, namely Mr Dirk Van den Broeck. The risk manager's responsibilities include, among other things, drafting, developing, monitoring, updating and implementing the risk policy and risk management procedures (e.g., whistleblowers' scheme, conflict of interest regulations and the procedures described in the Dealing Code).
On the basis of his position, the risk manager fulfils his role by analysing and evaluating each category of risks facing the Company, both at regular intervals and on an ad hoc basis. On this basis, concrete recommendations can be formulated for the Executive Committee or the Board of Directors (which bears final responsibility for the risk management of the Company).
The Board of Directors annually adopts the risk policy, ensuring correct analysis and estimates of the existing risks as prepared by the risk manager prior to inclusion in the annual report. The Company also provides a specific arrangement according to which staff members may express concerns regarding possible irregularities in financial reporting or other matters in confidence. (the 'whistle-blowers' scheme')
If deemed necessary, arrangements will be made for an independent investigation and appropriate follow-up of these matters, in proportion to their alleged seriousness. Regulations are also made with regard to which staff members can inform the Chairman of the Board of Directors directly. The Company also has detailed policies on staff, including with regard to integrity, qualifications, training and assessment, and applies a business continuity policy, including a business continuity plan.
As part of its supervisory task, the Board of Directors evaluates twice a year the main risks that give rise to a mention in the halfyearly and annual financial reports on the basis of the reports of the Audit Committee. In addition to these periodic reviews, the Board of Directors closely monitors the risks in its regular meetings and also takes note of the risk analysis and the findings of both internal and external audit.
The organisation is structured in such a way that all the important decisions concerning strategic, financial and operational matters are taken by several different people or are at least be subject to control by the management.
With regard to the financial reporting process, it can be reported that controls are built in which should ensure the quality and accuracy of the reported information.
The internal audit function, within the meaning of Article 17 §3 of the RREC Law, is fulfilled by an external consultant (also referred to as an 'external internal auditor'). This auditor is appointed based on a contract 'relating to outsourcing the internal audit function'. The internal auditor performs a risk analysis for each risk area, determining a risk profile and a score for each of these domains.
On the basis of this analysis, a plan is prepared and comprehensive annual audits are conducted of each area, with recommendations being formulated. Since the Company has opted for an external consultant to perform the internal audit function, it has also appointed a managing director internally, who ensures the follow-up of the recommendations of this external internal auditor and monitors his work. In addition, the reports will be submitted to the Board of Directors. The financial reporting function is also subject of frequent evaluation by the internal auditor. Please see the description above with regard to the supervision by the Board of Directors of the integrity of financial information provided by the Company.
The Company always takes into account the findings and possible observations of the internal and external auditor. These provide a guide for the Company to optimise its operations in relation to operational, financial and management matters, as well as risk management and compliance. The Board of Directors receives all internal audit reports and/or periodic summaries thereof. The external internal auditor also provides explanation on the work carried out on a regular basis.
The Board of Directors, on the advice of the Audit Committee, assesses the effectiveness of the internal audit and, in particular, makes recommendations on its operation. It also examines to what extent its findings and recommendations are met.
Communication is an important element of internal control and within Care Property Invest and is adjusted to the size of the organisation. General staff communication, internal memos, working meetings, e-mail and electronic calendars are used for communications. For the records, there is a digital central archive, and documents are also kept in physical form where necessary. The Executive Committee ensures appropriate communication and exchange of information to and from all levels within the Company and ensures that internal control objectives and responsibilities, necessary to support the operation of internal control, are propagated transparently.
Providing periodical financial and other occasional external information is streamlined and supported by appropriate allocation of responsibilities, coordination between the various employees involved and a detailed financial calendar.
Managing internal control within an organisation is a continuous process that should be evaluated on an ongoing basis and if necessary, adjusted. Periodical assessments are conducted at the level of the Board of Directors concerning the adequacy of internal control and risk management. Among other things, the findings and recommendations of the internal and external auditor constitute an important source of information in this context.
The follow-up procedure consists of a combination of supervision by the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, and independent objective assessments of these activities based on internal auditor, external auditor or other third parties.
Relevant findings of the internal auditor and/or the statutory auditor relating to guidelines and procedures, segregation of responsibilities and application of IFRS accounting standards are reported to the Audit Committee and, if necessary, the Board of Directors.
In addition, financial information is explained in detail by the CFO in the Executive Committee and subsequently in the Audit Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors.
The Company has no knowledge of any shareholders holding more than 5% of the voting rights, as no notifications have been received to this effect within the context of the transparency legislation.
On 24 January 2023, Pensio b ofp reported no longer exceeding the 3% threshold due to a passive fall below the lowest threshold.
On 15 March 2023, Ameriprise Financial, Inc reported exceeding the 3% threshold as a result of the acquisition or disposal of voting securities or voting rights.
Care Property Invest crefers to its website www.carepropertyinvest.be for the publication of these transparency
statements.
Other than the aforementioned notifications, the Company did not receive any new notifications for exceeding or falling below the 3% threshold during the 2023 and 2024 financial years (up to the date of this report).An overview of the shareholding structure is given in chapter 'IV. Care Property Invest on the stock market' on page 162 of the annual
financial report.
On 31 December 2023, the Board of Directors consisted of eleven members, five of whom were independent directors who met the conditions of the Article 7:87 BCCA). There are five executive (managing) directors and six non-executive directors. The five managing directors are members of the Executive Committee.
The directors do not have to be shareholders. There are no family ties between the members of the Board of Directors.
In order to improve the continuity of the functioning of the Board of Directors and thus prevent several Directors from resigning at the same time, the Board of Directors drew up a schedule according to which the directors are to resign periodically. Their appointment may be revoked at any time by the general meeting. The directors are eligible for reappointment.
The list of directors is shown on the following pages.
The Annual General Meeting on 31 May 2023 approved the proposal to reappoint Mr Paul Van Gorp, as a non-executive director, for a term of one year until after the ordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2024, and this given that his mandate ended after the 2023 Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting of 29 May 2024 that the following persons be reappointed as directors, as their term of office will end after the 2024 annual general meeting:
Ms Valérie Jonkers, as executive director, for a term of four years until after the ordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2028.
Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck, as executive director, for a term of four years until after the ordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2028.
Mr Michel Van Geyte, as non-executive director, for a term of four years until after the end of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2028.
The Board of Directors decided not to renominate Ms Ingrid Ceusters and Mr Paul Van Gorp as candidate directors and would like to thank them for their services and efforts.

As at 31 December 2023, the Board of Director consists of 11 members, 5 of whom are independent directors.

The Board of Directors has the broadest powers to perform all acts that are necessary or useful for the realization of the object of the Company. The Board may perform all other actions that are not expressly reserved for the general meeting by law or by the Articles of Association. The Board of Directors decides upon the long-term operating strategy, investments, disinvestments and financing strategy of the Company, closes the annual financial statements, and draws up the half-yearly and quarterly financial statements of the RREC.
It draws up the 'Report of the Board of Directors' that contains, among others, the 'Corporate Governance Statement', it decides how the authorised capital is used and convenes the ordinary and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders. It ensures the relevance, accuracy and transparency of communication to the shareholders, financial analysts and the general public, such as prospectuses, Annual and Halfyearly Financial Reports, quarterly statements, and press releases. It is also the body that decides on the Company's Executive Committee structure and determines the powers and duties of the Company's effective managers.
The Board of Directors convenes meetings as often as necessary for the performance of its duties. The Board of Directors normally meets every month, and also whenever this is required in the interests of the Company. The Board of Directors is convened by the Chairman or by two directors whenever the interests of the Company so require. The notice states the place, date, time and agenda of the meeting and is sent by letter, e-mail or other written means at least 48 hours before the meeting. Each director who attends a meeting of the Board of Directors or is represented at such meeting is considered to be regularly called up.
The Board of Directors can only validly deliberate and decide if at least a majority of the directors are present or represented. If this quorum is not reached, a new Board of Directors may be convened with the same agenda, which will validly deliberate and decide if at least two directors are present or represented.
With respect to items not on the agenda, it may only deliberate with the consent of the entire Board of Directors and provided that all directors are present or represented. Any director may authorize another member of the Board of Directors by letter, e-mail or in another written form to represent him or her at a meeting of the Board of Directors and validly vote in his place.
The Board of Directors may meet by conference call, video conference or similar communication equipment, by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Any director may also provide his or her advice to the chairman by letter, e-mail or other written form.
The Board of Directors may adopt a decision as provided for in the BCCA by unanimous written consent of all directors. If a director has a direct or indirect financial interest that is contrary to a decision or transaction that falls within the powers of the Board of Directors, he shall comply with the provisions of Article 7:96 BCCA. The members of the Board of Directors shall also comply with Articles 37-38 of the public RREC Law.
The decision-making within the Board of Directors may not be dominated by an individual or by a group of directors.
Resolutions are carried by a simple majority of the votes cast. Blank or invalid votes shall not be counted as votes cast. In the event of a tie in the votes of the Board of Directors, the director chairing the meeting shall have a casting vote.
The decisions of the Board of Directors are recorded in minutes after each meeting. They are sent to each director, together with the invitation to the next meeting, and approved at this meeting.
The minutes of the meeting summarise the discussions, specify the decisions taken and mention the various opinions and possible reservations of certain directors. They are kept at the Company's office. The Board of Directors appointed Ms Nathalie
Byl as secretary.
All directors, executive and non-executive, and the latter regardless of whether or not they are independent, must make decisions on the basis of an independent
view.
The directors should ensure that they receive detailed and accurate information and should study it thoroughly in order to be able to control the main aspects of the Company's business properly, in the present and the future. They should seek clarification whenever they deem it
necessary.
Although they are part of the same collegiate body, both executive and nonexecutive directors each have a specific and complementary role on the Board. The executive directors provide the Board of Directors with all relevant business and financial information to enable it to fulfil its role effectively.
The non-executive directors discuss the strategy and key policies proposed by the Executive Committee in a critical and constructive manner and help to develop these in more detail. Nonexecutive directors should scrutinize the performance of the Executive Committee in light of the agreed goals.
Directors must treat confidential information they have received in their capacity as directors with due care and may use it only in the context of their mandate.
In accordance with Article 26 of the Articles of Association, the Company shall be validly represented in all its acts, including those in which a public official or ministerial officer cooperates, as well as in judicial matters, either by two directors acting jointly or, within the limits of dayto-day management, by two members of the Executive Committee acting jointly.
During the 2023 financial year, the Board of Directors met 13 times.
The main agenda items handled by the Board of Directors during the 2023 financial year can be summarised as follows:
See further in the remuneration report, point '11.11.2.4 Overview of the remuneration for directorships in the 2023 financial year' on page 119 hereafter.
The Board of Directors has set up Committees in its midst to assist and advise the Board of Directors in their specific areas. They have no decisionmaking power but report to the Board of Directors, respectively the Executive Committee which takes the final decisions.
On 14 February 2018, the Board of Directors decided to set up a Nomination and Remuneration Committee that, in terms of composition, meets the conditions imposed by the Article 7:100 BCCA and the Code 2020. The chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr Mark Suykens, is chairman of this Committee. Furthermore, the Committee consists of three nonexecutive directors, namely Ms Caroline Riské, Ms Brigitte Grouwels and Ms Ingrid Ceusters. They are regarded as independent directors within the meaning of the Article7:87 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations (BCCA). The Board of Directors is of the opinion that they have the required expertise in the field of remuneration policy. Mr Willy Pintens, managing director and member of the Executive Committee, attends the meetings of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in an advisory capacity as representative and as member of the Executive Committee.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is an advisory body within the Board of Directors and will assist and advise it. It will make proposals to the Board of Directors with regard to the composition and evaluation of the Board of Directors and its interaction with the Executive Committee, the remuneration policy, the individual remuneration of the directors and the members of the Executive Committee, including variable remuneration and long-term performance premiums, that may or may not be linked to shares, in the form of stock options or other financial instruments, and of severance payments, and where applicable, the resulting proposals to be submitted by the Board of Directors to the shareholders.
In its role as remuneration committee, the committee prepares the remuneration report that is added by the Board of Directors in the corporate governance statement as referred to in Article 3:6, §2 BCCA. The remuneration report is further included in this chapter under item '11.11 Remuneration report 2023' on page 118.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee shall meet at least twice a year and whenever it deems it necessary for the proper performance of its duties. The Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, in consultation with the managing director who participates in the meetings with an advisory vote as representative of the Executive Committee, draws up the agenda for each meeting of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors about the exercise of its tasks. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee evaluates at least every three years its efficiency, its functioning and its synergy with the Board of Directors, revises its internal regulations and recommends subsequently, when applicable, the necessary modifications to the Board of Directors.
A more detailed description of the role, functioning and responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee can be found in the Charter, which is available on the website www. carepropertyinvest.be.
During the 2023 financial year, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee met 3 times to discuss the following matters:
The Board of Directors decided on 13 February 2019 to establish an Audit Committee, the composition of which was last changed on 9 March 2021. The composition of the Audit Committee and the qualifications of its members meet the requirements of section 7:99 BCCA, as well as the Code 2020.
The committee consists of 5 non-executive directors, namely Mr Paul Van Gorp, as chairman, Ms Ingrid Ceusters, Mr Mark Suykens, Ms Brigitte Grouwels and Mr Michel Van Geyte. Mr Dirk Van den Broeck participates as a representative of the Executive Committee and as a member with an advisory vote.
All members of the Audit Committee have the collective expertise required by law with regard to the activities of the audited company. The independent directors who sit on the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of Care Property Invest all meet the criteria set out in Article 7:87 BCCA and the Code 2020.
In summary, the Company's Audit Committee has the task of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of all financial information, both internal and external.
It ensures that the Company's periodic financial reports give a true, fair and clear picture of the situation and of future prospects of the Company and audits in particular the annual and periodic financial statements before they are published. The Audit Committee also verifies the correct and consistent application of the various applied accounting standards and valuation rules. It also monitors the independence of the statutory auditor and has an advisory role during the (re)appointment of the statutory auditor.
The Audit Committee meets at least 4 times a year, i.e., at the end of each quarter, and then reports its findings to the Board of Directors. Its main tasks are the following:
monitoring the Company's quarterly periodic financial reports, consisting of monitoring the integrity and accuracy of the figures and the relevance of the accounting standards applied, and making recommendations or proposals to ensure the integrity of the process;
monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems, including the adaptation of the IT system to cover risks relating to IT security and internal security as much as possible, as well as monitoring the internal audit and its effectiveness;
The Company's internal auditor and statutory auditor report to the Audit Committee on the important issues that they identify during their assignment for the statutory audit of the financial statements. The Audit Committee gives an explanation of this to the Board of Directors.
The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the selection, appointment and reappointment of the external auditor and regarding the conditions of his appointment. The Board of Directors submits the Audit Committee's proposal to the shareholders for approval.
A more detailed description of the role, functioning and responsibilities of the Audit Committee has been included in the Charter, which is available on the website www. carepropertyinvest.be.
The Board of Directors decided on 13 February 2019 to establish an Investment Committee, the composition and functioning of which was amended on 4 November 2020. The members, in diverse fields within both the real estate and economic domains, have the desired professional experience and the necessary educational background. This allows the different skills of its members to be deployed according to the nature and needs of the investment dossier presented.
The Committee consists of four non-executive directors, namely Mr Mark Suykens as chairman, Mr Michel Van Geyte, Ms Caroline Riské and Mr Paul Van Gorp. The independent directors who have a seat on the Investment Committee all meet the criteria set out in section 7:87 BCCA and the 2020 Code.
The Investment Committee is an advisory body charged with the task of advising on investment and possible divestment files in order to speed up the decision-making process. The Board of Directors, respectively the Executive Committee, remains responsible for supervising and taking the final decision on this matter. The Investment Committee carries out its task in accordance with the Company's Integrity Policy.
The Investment Committee meets on an ad hoc basis, i.e., whenever the discussion of a concrete file is deemed necessary. The Investment Committee then formulates its findings and verdict on a file to the Board of Directors. The final decision on a handled file is always taken by the Board of Directors, respectively the Executive Committee of the Company.
In the Charter, which is available on the Company's website, www.carepropertyinvest.be, a more detailed description of the role, functioning and responsibilities of the Investment Committee is included.

11.6 Statements concerning the directors, effective leaders and members of the management team (Annex I to the Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2019/980)
All directors of the Company have declared that they have not been convicted of fraud offences during the aforementioned five years.
In addition, all directors of the Company have declared that, as members of a management, executive or supervisory body, they have not been involved in any bankruptcy, suspension of payments or liquidation or any company under administration during the aforementioned five years. However, Valérie Jonkers, Willy Pintens and Peter Van Heukelom were members and directors of Frontida, a nonprofit association with registered offices at Horstebaan 3, 2900 Schoten, registered in the Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen under number 0505.856.879. This NPO was established within the framework of the subscription to a public tender relating to a project of the Company for the realisation of facilities for elderly care in Balen (Belgium). This NPO was dissolved, with immediate closure of the settlement, on 29 December 2021, as the public tender was not awarded to the Company and the NPO
was never operationally active, leaving the
NPO with no reason to exist. Additionally, all directors have declared that they have not been the subject of any official and publicly expressed
accusations and/or sanctions imposed by any statutory or supervisory authority, nor have they been declared incompetent to act as (i) members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies of an issuer or (ii) as part of the management or pursuit of the activities of an issuer by any
court.
No family relationships exist between the members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies.
The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with the members of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies. Only severance pay is planned in the management agreements with the executive management (the CEO, CFO and COO), which never amounts to more than eighteen months of the annual (fixed) remuneration. There were no departing directors or members of management since 1 January 2023 to the date of this document and therefore no severance payments were paid out during that period.
The following directors hold following shares in the Company as at the date of 31
December 2023:
(1) 8,666 shares are held by Patrimmonia Real Estate NV, which is controlled by Dirk Van den
The Board of Directors takes into account gender diversity, diversity in general and complementarity in terms of skills, experience and knowledge when defining the longterm values, core policies, standards and objectives of the Company. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee also takes this intended diversity within the Board of Directors into account when formulating advice regarding the appointment of directors, members of the Executive Committee and other leaders.
After all, such a diversity policy makes it possible to approach problems from different points of view within the Board of Directors and within the Executive Committee, thus contributing to balanced decision-making.
On the basis of Article 7:86 BCCA, at least one third of the members of the Board of Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) must be of a different gender from the other members. As at 31 December 2023, the Board of Directors consists of 4 women and 7 men, as a result of which this one-third rule has already been complied with.
Care Property Invest will continue to strive to maintain this gender diversity when proposals for appointment are considered.
Each director and effective manager is encouraged to arrange his/her personal and business affairs so as to avoid any direct or indirect conflicts of interest with the Company.
With regard to the regulation of conflicts of interest, the Company is subject to the legal rules, being articles 7:86 BCCA and 36 to 38 of the RREC Law and the rules in its Articles of Association and in the Charter.
Without prejudice to the application of legal procedures, the Company's Charter sets out specific procedures to offer a way of resolving potential conflicts.
The Board of Directors ensures that the Company is managed exclusively in the Company's interests and in accordance with the provisions of the RREC legislation. The integrity policy attached to the Charter also sets out rules relating to conflicts of interest.
If a director has, directly or indirectly, an interest of a proprietary nature that conflicts with a decision or transaction falling within the competence of the Board of Directors, he or she must comply with the provisions of Article7:96 BCCA. This means that all directors must notify the Board of Directors and the statutory auditor of any conflicts of interest when they arise and must abstain from voting on these matters. Any abstention due to a conflict of interest must be disclosed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BCCA and is therefore reported in the annual report.
The members of the Board of Directors must also comply with Articles 36 to 38 of the RREC Law. In addition to the provisions of the BCCA and the rules on conflict of interest arising from the RREC Law, Care Property Invest requires each (managing) director or member of the Executive Committee to avoid conflict of interest as far as possible.
If a conflict of interest (not covered by the statutory regulations on conflicts of interest) nevertheless arises in relation to a matter that falls within the competence of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee, and on which it must take a decision, the director in question must notify his or her fellow directors of this. They then decide whether the member concerned may or may not vote on the matter to which the conflict of interest relates and whether he/she may attend the discussions on this matter. It is explicitly made clear here that non-compliance with the above (additional) rules on conflicts of interest cannot affect the validity of decision-making by the Board of Directors.
Care Property Invest also serves the procedure of the then applicable Article 7:97 BCCA. In the 2023 financial year, the Company had no persons qualifying as affiliated persons within the meaning of Section 7:97 BCCA, being natural persons or legal entities affiliated with the Company and which are not a subsidiary of the Company.
Transactions between the Company or an affiliated company and a member of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee or member of staff must always be conducted at market-based conditions, under the supervision of the Board of
Directors.
Pursuant to Article 37 of the RREC Law, the Company must notify the FSMA in advance if one of the persons referred to below acts as a counterparty in a property transaction with the Company or with a company over which it has control, or if any benefits are gained through such a transaction by persons including those listed below:
• the persons who control the public RREC or hold participating interests in
it;
• the promoters of the public RREC;
In its notification of the FSMA, the RREC must show its interest in the planned transaction and that the transaction in question forms part of the normal activities of the RREC. If the FSMA finds that the information in the aforementioned notice is insufficient, incomplete, inconclusive or irrelevant, it shall notify the RREC accordingly. If no action is taken in response, the FSMA may publish its position.
These transactions must be conducted on an arm's length basis.
When a transaction that takes place in the circumstances described above relates to property as referred to in Article 47 § 1 of the RREC Law, the valuation of the expert is binding for the RREC (for determining the minimum price in the case of a transfer, or the maximum price in the case of an acquisition).
The transactions referred to above, as well as the information contained in the preceding notice to the FSMA, must be disclosed immediately and explained in the annual financial report and the statutory auditor's report.
Pursuant to Article 38 of the RREC Law, these provisions do not apply to:
Pursuant to Article 7:96 BCCA, a director who has a direct or indirect interest of a patrimonial nature that conflicts with the Company's interest in connection with a decision or transaction that falls within the competence of the Board of Directors must notify the other directors thereof before the Board of Directors takes a decision. The conflicted director's statement and explanation of the nature of this conflicting interest shall be minuted. In the minutes, the Board of Directors shall describe the nature of the decision or transaction and its patrimonial consequences for the Company and justify the decision taken. This part of the minutes shall be included in full in the annual report or in a document filed together with the financial statements. The minutes shall be communicated to the statutory auditor without delay.
In the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 20 March 2023, a conflict of interest was noted on behalf of Messrs Peter Van Heukelom, Filip Van Zeebroeck and Ms Valérie Jonkers. The minutes state:
'Peter Van Heukelom, Filip Van Zeebroeck and Valérie Jonkers declare to have, in application of Article 7: 96 of the Code of Companies and Associations to have an interest of a patrimonial nature, contradictory to that of the Company, in relation to the decision on the agenda under sub-paragraphs 4, 5 and 6, since on the one hand they are directors of the Company and on the other hand, as managers of the Company, they are beneficiaries of the bonus amount for the 2022 financial year and of the Company's (variable) remuneration policy for the 2023 / 2023- 2025 financial year and the short- and long-term bonus regulations apply to them (the Variable Remuneration). As such, the decision regarding the Variable Remuneration may have proprietary implications for Peter Van Heukelom, Valérie Jonkers and Filip Van Zeebroeck that are contrary to the interest of the Company, as each would (could) be entitled to remuneration at the Company's expense pursuant to the Variable Remuneration.'
In the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 23 October 2023, a conflict of interest was noted on the part of Ms Valérie Jonkers and Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck. The minutes state:
'Valérie Jonkers and Filip Van Zeebroeck declared, prior to the meeting, in application of Article 7:96 of the Code of Companies and Associations, to have an interest of a patrimonial nature, contradictory to that of the Company, with regard to decision sub 3 on the agenda, since they are candidate successors in the event of a possible retirement of the CEO. Neither director was present during the discussion of this agenda item.'
The Company is further not aware of any potential conflicts of interest between the directors' duties to the Company, on the one hand, and their own interests and/or their other duties, on the other, except in relation to (the remuneration under) the management agreements with the CEO, CFO and COO. However, the Board of Directors does not expect these circumstances to result in the CEO, CFO and COO having a conflict of interest in relation to their duties to the Company.
The Board of Directors has published its policy on the prevention of market abuse and insider trading in the Charter.
The independent compliance function is carried out by Mr Jan Van Beers. The Company has drawn up a charter of the compliance function in which the objective and the functioning of the compliance function are set out in accordance with the FSMA circular. The Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the staff of the Company have taken note of this Charter.
The compliance officer ensures, amongst other things, that the rules of conduct and the declarations relating to transactions on Care Property Invest shares, carried out by directors and other insiders for their own account, are observed, in order to limit the risk of insider trading.
In response to the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2020, the Board of Directors is allowed to acquire and hold in pledge own shares with a maximum of ten per cent (10%) of the total issued shares, to a unit price not lower than ninety per cent (90%) of the average rate of the last thirty (30) days of the listing of the share on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels, nor higher than hundred and ten per cent (110%) of the average rate of the last thirty (30) days of the listing of the share on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels, or a maximum increase or decrease of ten per cent (10%) in comparison with the above mentioned rate.
This approbation is granted for a renewable period of five (5) years, counting from publication in the attachment of the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2020.
The Board of Directors is permitted, in particular, to acquire, hold in pledge and sell the own shares of the Company without prior decision of the general meeting when this acquirement or sale is necessary to avoid serious or threatening damage to the Company for a duration of five (5) years, counting from publication in the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2020.
The Company can sell its own shares, in or out of stock market, with respect to the conditions set by the Board of Directors, without prior permission of the general meeting, provided they respect the applicable market regulations.
Pursuant to this authorisation, the Board of Directors is authorised to alienate its own shares listed within the meaning of Article 1:11 BCCA within the meaning of Article 7:218, §1, paragraph 1, 2° BCCA, on the basis of which the Board of Directors is also authorised to alienate its own shares without the authorisation of the general meeting.
The permissions that are mentioned above are also applicable to the acquisition and sale of shares of the Company by one or multiple direct subsidiaries, in terms of the legal regulations concerning the acquisition of shares of the parent company by its subsidiaries.
In the 2023 financial year, the Company did not acquire any own shares. The Company no longer holds any own shares as at 31 December 2023.
Under the direction of its Chairman, the Board of Directors evaluates, every two to three years, its size, composition, operation and interaction with the Executive Committee. Prior to any reappointment of directors, the individual contribution, commitment and effectiveness of each director shall be assessed in accordance with the evaluation procedure.
The evaluation process has four objectives:
The non-executive directors should regularly (preferably once a year) assess their interaction with the Executive Committee. They must meet for this purpose at least once a year, in the absence of the Executive Committee members.
The contribution of each director is reviewed periodically - taking account of changing circumstances - in order to be able to adjust the composition of the Board of Directors.
The Board should act on the basis of the results of the evaluation by recognising its strengths and addressing its weaknesses. Where appropriate, this will mean that nominations are made for new members, proposals are made not to reappoint existing members or that measures are taken that are deemed to be conducive to the effective functioning of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors ensures that the necessary measures are taken to provide for orderly succession of the members of the Board of Directors. The Board also ensures that all appointments and reappointments of both executive and non-executive directors make it possible to maintain an appropriate balance of skills and experience on the Board.
The Board of Directors is assisted in this evaluation process by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
This remuneration report falls within the framework of the provisions of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code of 12 May 2019 (the '2020 Code') and of Article 3:6, §3 of the BCCA.

(1) In addition, Willy Pintens receives a separate remuneration in his capacity as member of the Executive Committee (see under 11.11.3 'Global overview (gross) remuneration of the Managing (executive) Directors (effective leaders) in the 2023 financial year').
(2) In addition, Dirk Van den Broeck receives a separate remuneration in his capacity as member of the Executive Committee (see under 11.11.3 'Global overview (gross) remuneration of the Managing (executive) Directors (effective leaders) in the 2023 financial year').
The remuneration level of the CEO, CFO and COO (the effective leaders of the Company) is - in their capacity of member of the Executive Committee - determined by the Board of Directors, upon advice of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and is based on their respective management contracts.
In accordance with the remuneration policy as approved by the General Meeting of 25 May 2022, these contracts provide for a fixed remuneration, a variable remuneration in the form of short-term and long-term bonuses and other components (hospitalisation insurance, meal vouchers (CEO only) and benefits in kind such as a company car, mobile phone and laptop).
The net proceeds of the short-term incentive (which is linked to performance conditions) can be used by the beneficiary to purchase shares of the Company with a lock-up discount.
The introduction of a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) linked to performance related conditions as part of the variable remuneration is new compared to the previous remuneration policy, where the long-term incentive consisted of a share purchase plan that did not depend on performance conditions and was part of the fixed remuneration. The LTIP consists of a so-called cash performance plan with a three-year performance period, under which the beneficiaries can use the net cash proceeds to acquire shares of the Company as part of a lock-up discounted share purchase plan.
The fixed remuneration consists of (i) an indexed annual (gross) base remuneration, payable in monthly instalments, including a representation allowance and (ii) an insurance 'individual pension commitment' with certain contributions and additional coverage (amounting to €1,364 for the CFO and €6,062 for the COO).
To better align the short-term incentive with the Company's strategy, in line with the applicable remuneration policy as approved by the General Meeting of 25 May 2022, the performance criteria were changed to (i) EPS according to budget, (ii) operating margin and (iii) a short-term ESG performance target, being over the 2023 financial year the achievement of an 80% portfolio EMS coverage ratio (energy and water consumption monitoring system). The performance criteria are in line with the Company's overall strategy with (i) qualitative criteria, (ii) a benchmark and (iii) the clear thresholds set for both underperformance and overperformance.
The predetermined short-term incentive corresponds to an amount equal to 50% of the beneficiary's annual fixed remuneration. If less than 80% of the performance criteria (as indicated below) are achieved over a performance period, no short-term incentive will be awarded. If the minimum performance threshold is reached, the amount amounts to 40% of the annual fixed remuneration. Additionally, the incentive will be capped at
60% of the annual fixed remuneration (120% of the target bonus of 50%), particularly if the performance criteria are achieved for (more than) 110%. The short-term incentive will therefore vary between 0 and 60% of annual fixed remuneration, depending on the achievement of the performance criteria. The target, threshold and maximum performance levels are set annually at the beginning of a performance period based on a number of internal and external benchmarks. The performance targets are ambitious but achievable, taking into account the specific strategic priorities and the economic climate in a given year.
| Performance (% target) (incentive zone) |
Incentive (% target bonus) (pay-out zone) |
% of fixed remuneration | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performed below target | 80-90% | 80% | 40% |
| Performed in line with target | 90-110% | 100% | 50% |
| Performed above target | > 110% | 120% (capped) | 60% (capped) |
The short-term incentive is calculated and paid over three years: 50% immediately after the performance year (first performance period); 25% one year later (second performance period) and 25% two years later (third performance period), subject to and to the extent of achieving the performance targets in the respective performance periods.
The total net vested part of the short-term incentive can be used (with effect from the 2022 short-term incentive only after the third performance year) by the beneficiary to purchase shares of the Company at a price per share equal to 100/120 of the VWAP of the last 20 trading days subject to compliance with a lock-up commitment of three (3) years.
The annual short-term bonus for the period from 1 January 2023 up to and including 31 December 2023 is subject to the achievement of the following performance criteria:

On 6 March 2024, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee monitored the extent to which the financial and non-financial targets were met. On 6 March 2024, the Board of Directors, following positive advice from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, determined that the targets were met.
For the 2021 financial year, the short-term incentive amounted to a maximum of 50% of the fixed remuneration. The Incentive is spread over three years (2021, 2022 and 2023); for the 2023 financial year, the third instalment of 25% was vested, amounting to €81,204 for the CEO and €42,219 for the CFO and COO each, and paid in early 2024.

As described in the remuneration policy approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders of 2022, the Company started in the 2022 financial year to annually award the beneficiaries a conditional long-term incentive depending on the degree of achievement of performance targets over a period of three (3) years. This long-term annual incentive will be paid each time in the third financial year following the financial year of grant (a first time in 2025 over the performance period 2022 up to and including 2024).
The target amount of the long-term incentive is €200,000 for the CEO and €150,000 each for the CFO and COO. If the minimum performance threshold is reached, the amount equals €160,000 for the CEO and €120,000 each for the CFO and COO. The long-term incentive is capped at €240,000 for the CEO and for the CFO and COO €180,000 each in case of overperformance.
The net cash proceeds from the payment of the long-term incentive can be used by the beneficiaries to purchase shares of the Company at a price per share equal to 100/120 of the VWAP of the last 20 trading days subject to compliance with a lock-up commitment of three (3) years.
The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, sets annual targets for each three-year performance period using the performance criteria included in the remuneration policy. For the non-financial criterion, the sustainability roadmap shown in the Company's Sustainable Finance Framework is used as a guide.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee checks within the first three months of the financial year following the end of the three-year performance period to what extent the financial targets have been met, following the adoption of the annual results by the Board of Directors. The predetermined ESG target is evaluated by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on the basis of the results included in the sustainability report for that financial year.
The performance criteria for the first three-year performance period (2022 financial year up to and including 2024) for the long-term incentive (LTI) were set in 2022 in accordance with the remuneration policy by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The first three-year performance period is ongoing and the achievement of the targets will be assessed and reported in the remuneration report for the 2024 financial year in early 2025.
The second three-year performance period (financial year 2023 up to and including 2025) for the long-term incentive (LTI) is ongoing and the achievement of targets will be assessed and reported in the remuneration report for the 2025 financial year in early 2026.

In accordance with recommendation 7.9 of the 2020 Code, the CEO, CFO and COO must hold a minimum number of shares at all times and for as long as they remain members of the Executive Committee. The Board of Directors, on the advice of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, has decided that this is a minimum of 15,000 shares for the CEO and 6,500 each for the CFO and COO.
To meet this, the CEO, CFO and COO purchased shares of Care Property Invest with part of the net proceeds in cash of their short-term variable remuneration vested over the 2021 financial year and paid out in March 2022, pursuant to the 'Share Purchase Plan 2019bis' applicable in the 2019-2021 financial years which allowed the beneficiaries to purchase shares of the Company with one (part) of the cash vested variable remuneration. Within this framework, they purchased the Company's shares at a price per share equal to the weighted average stock market price during the period of twenty (20) trading days preceding the day before the date of signing the purchase agreement multiplied by 100/120th. The Company considers this to be a market-based price, and justifies the discount with, among other things, a lock-up period. In accordance with the Share Purchase Plan 2019bis, the purchased shares are to be held by the beneficiaries for a lock-up period of two (2) years. During this lock-up period, they do have the right to dividends, voting rights, preferential subscription rights or irreducible allocation rights attached to the purchased shares and the right to participate in an optional dividend or not.
Within the framework of the LTIP that was applicable in accordance with the remuneration policy for the 2019- 2021 financial years (where the long-term incentive consisted of a share purchase plan that was not subject to performance-related conditions and was part of the fixed remuneration), the CEO CFO and COO under the terms of the '2019 Share Purchase Plan' also purchased a package of shares at a price per share equal to the weighted average stock market price during the period of twenty (20) trading days preceding the day before the date of signing the purchase agreement, multiplied by 100/120ths. The Company considers this to be a market-based price, and justifies the discount with, among other things, a lock-up period. In accordance with the 2019 Share Purchase Plan, the purchased shares are to be held by the beneficiaries for a lock-up period of three (3) years. During this lock-up period, they do have the right to dividends, voting rights, preferential subscription rights or irreducible allocation rights attached to the purchased shares and the right to participate in an optional dividend or not.
No additional shares were purchased during the 2023 financial year under the terms of the Share Purchase Plans.

The General Meeting of 25 May 2022 reappointed the limited liability company EY Bedrijfsrevisoren bv, with registered office at Kouterveldstraat 7B 001, 1831 Diegem, registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 0446.334.711 (RPR Brussels) as statutory auditor for a period of three years. This company has appointed Mrs Christel Weymeersch, company auditor, as representative authorised to represent it and charged with the performance of the mandate in the name and on behalf of EY Bedrijfsrevisoren. The mandate expires after the general meeting that must approve the financial statements as at 31 December 2024.
The fees at consolidated level of the current statutory auditor for the 2023 financial year amount to €188,441 excluding VAT and costs, and are broken down as follows:

| Other non-audit assignments | 14,600 | 76,703 |
No separate fee or split is provided for the representative of the statutory auditor. The other tasks outside the auditing tasks have always been approved in advance by the Audit Committee of the Company.
The internal audit function within the meaning of article 17 §3 of the RREC Law is fulfilled by an external consultant (also referred to as an external internal auditor), who is appointed by means of an agreement on outsourcing the 'internal auditing function', which on 6 September 2017 was extended for an indefinite duration with Mazars Advisory Services bv, with registered office at Manhattan Office Tower, Bolwerklaan 21 box 8, 1210 Brussels, Marcel Thirylaan 77, represented by Ms Cindy Van Humbeeck, director-manager. This agreement was terminated by the Company and, after observance of a 3-month notice period, expired on 31 January 2023
To fill the internal audit function during the 2023-2025 financial years, a fixed-term agreement was concluded on 6 December 2022 with BDO Advisory bv, with registered office at rue Stassart 35, 1050 Brussels, represented by Mr Wim Verbelen and effective from 1 February 2023. The remuneration paid in 2023 for this audit assignment amounted to €17,600 excluding VAT.
The Company appoints three real estate experts to value the property portfolio (in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland) based on a fixed-term agreement. The real estate expert, Stadim CVBA, was appointed for a new period of three years with effect from 1 January 2023. The fee is determined according to the nature of the property to be valued (residential care centre or groups of assisted living apartments), the number of units and the valuation method (full report on initial valuation or quarterly valuation). The fee is therefore independent of the fair value of the property. The fee for the valuations of the real estate portfolio in the 2023 financial year amounts to €231,796 (amounts are subject to indexation) and is determined as follows:
| Assisted living apartments | Residential care centres |
|---|---|
| € 50 per unit | € 80 per unit (for the first 40 units) |
| first entry at € 1,250 | € 40 per unit (from the 41st unit) |
| projects in project phase at 75% | first valuation at 30% with a minimum of € 1,500 |
| final valuation at 50% with a minimum of € 1,000 | |
| projects in project phase at 75% |
On 1 April 2023, Cushman & Wakefield was appointed for a new period of three years. The fee is based on the number of residential units and the valuation method (full report at initial valuation or quarterly or annual valuation), but with a maximum fee per property. The fee is thus independent of the fair value of the properties. The fee for the valuation of the properties in portfolio in the 2023 financial year amounts to €106,430 and is determined as follows:
| Quarterly valuation |
Annual valuation | Comprehensive valuation report |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee per property | €750 | €1.000 | €2,250 |
| Fee per bed | €10 | 15 | €20 |
| Maximum fee per property | €1,600 | €2,500 | €4,000 |
Cushman & Wakefield will also perform the valuation for the finance leases as from 1 April 2023. The remuneration per lease amounts to €160 per quarter.
On 30 March 2022, an agreement was entered into with CBRE Unlimited Company as third-party appraiser for a period of 3 years. The fee is determined on the number of residential units (4 price divisions according to the number of residential units), with a maximum remuneration per property. A discount is granted if the portfolio has a minimum number of properties in its portfolio. The fee is thus independent of the fair value of the property. The remuneration for the valuation of portfolio properties in the 2023 financial year amounts to €32,809 and is determined as follows:
| Quarterly valuation |
Annual valuation | Comprehensive valuation report |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum fee per property | €1,100 | €1,350 | €5,100 |

Care Property Invest occupies a clear position within the RREC landscape through its specialisation within the market segment of housing for senior citizens. This is the segment in which it is mainly active today, but certainly not exclusively, because in 2014 it extended the definition of its social purpose to the market for people with disabilities in order to realise projects in this segment as well. Geographical expansion also figured on the agenda through the realisation of an objective expansion to the entire European Economic Area. The Company's preparations in this context paid off in 2018 with a first acquisition on Dutch territory. In June 2020 Care Property Invest entered the Spanish market followed by the Irish market in 2022.
The table below provides an overview of the projects that the Company was able to acquire/complete in Belgium, The Netherlands and Spain during 2023. More information on these projects can be found in chapter 'II. Report of the Board of Directors', point '2.1 Important events during the 2023 financial year' on page 62.

The Company's real estate strategy is largely determined by the growing demand for real estate with a social added value, specifically care infrastructure that is fully tailored to the needs of its residents. This strategy is supported by the demographic evolution of the Belgian, Dutch, Spanish as well as the Irish population. For new investment projects, the Company focuses on qualitative, sustainable and future-proof buildings, located in good locations with reliable operators with whom a long-term
commitment can be made, preferably under a triple net regime. The Company applies this strategy to all the markets in which it is active.
Care Property Invest's approach simultaneously meets the expectations and needs of operators in these markets by entering into long-term contracts and partnerships.
From its experience in building service flats for the Flemish Government, Belgian local authorities and charitable organisations continue to form an important target group. Furthermore, Care Property Invest also focuses on the private market through the realisation of residential care projects with experienced private operators in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and since 2022 in Ireland.
Below, the Company includes the description of the healthcare real estate markets in the countries in which it operates.
Belgian economic growth slowed to 1.5% in 2023 from 3% in 2022. It is expected to moderate to 1.3% in 2024, mainly thanks to domestic demand. Similar growth rates are also expected for 2025 and 2026.In the period 2013 to June 2021, inflation, based on the health index, was at an average historically low level of 1.3%. From summer 2021, however, inflation accelerated to peak at 12.3% in October 2022. During 2023, it eased back to 1.3% in December. For 2024, the Planning Bureau expects inflation to rebound to an average of 3.3% to fluctuate between 2% and 2.5% in the following years. OLOs also experienced very low interest rates until 2021. In the course of 2022, they followed an upward trend, peaking at 4% in the autumn of 2023 before falling back to 3%.

Residential care centres are again experiencing a good inflow of new residents, given the ageing statistics, and increasing care needs of the population. However, operators will have to keep their costs under control. Attracting sufficient trained staff will remain a challenge in the coming years.
Healthcare real estate is valued relatively high because of the underlying long-term triple-net contracts, with professional and solvent operators. These contracts are valued with limited risks. As a result, healthcare real estate has been attracting increasing interest as a long-term investment in recent years. The investor market is rapidly widening to include insurance companies and pension funds for whom (very) long-term and indexed contracts are a decisive element. This also corresponds to the healthcare operator's desire to pursue policies that are also longterm.
Until two years ago, it could be argued that the overall evolution of further professionalisation of the operating sector and widening of prospective investors caused sustained downward pressure on yields. In the last two years, however, interest rates experienced a rapid upward movement, causing required returns to experience the same movement.
In recent years, the importance of quality and versatility, or in general terms the sustainability of the investment, has only increased. These parameters are also becoming more important in new transactions taking place.

The healthcare real estate sector consists of several segments, each with its own character. A distinction is made between healthcare real estate providing care and cure. The 'care' segment is intended for living, providing both light and heavy care. The 'cure' segment provides treatments, with possibly a short stay and is focused on recovery and healing.
Elderly people want and need to live at home for a longer period of time. This creates greater demand for senior housing and care apartments. In January 2022, there were 850,512 people aged 80 and over in The Netherlands. Life expectancy is forecast to rise sharply over the next 30 years to 2.6 million over-80s in 2050. Part of this group will need long-term care, to think of dementia, a condition that is expected to cause the highest mortality and disease burden in 2040. This intensive care need will only increase the demand for this type of healthcare real estate, which is currently unavailable. More than half of people aged 75 and over face loneliness. This creates a demand for a new form of living between home and nursing care, which reduces the pressure on professional care. Elderly people want to move to a place that is smaller but where they can continue to live independently
and easily meet others. Currently, there is insufficient supply of such housing forms. By 2030, more than 200,000 care homes will need to come on the market. In addition, much of the existing stock is outdated. These will have to be made sustainable in the coming decades, in line with climate objectives.
In recent years, the mandatory sustainability of real estate in the Netherlands has gained momentum. The sharply increased energy costs in 2022 mean that the need for sustainability is really felt in the market. Market parties are increasingly critical of energy efficiency when buying and renting real estate. In addition, Dutch banks are obliged to work on CO2 reduction. This legal obligation also applies to the real estate properties they finance. This makes it increasingly difficult to finance non-sustainable real estate. In 2022, a total of €1.3 billion was still invested in healthcare real estate.
The transaction volume of the healthcare real estate market fell sharply in 2023 and even came to a near standstill. The increase in transfer tax in January 2023 from 8.0% to 10.4% only reinforced this.

Spain has a high average life expectancy with an ageing population. Spanish life expectancy is forecast to be the highest in Europe by 2050. Spain experienced a baby boom in the 1960s, during which the Spanish birth rate was more than double the current rate of 0.8%. These baby boomers are currently 50/60 years old and make up 25% of Spain's population today. Spain is expected to have the second highest dependency ratio of all European countries by 2050.
75% of the Spanish population owns their own home (in 2021, coming from 78% in 2013) which is above the European average. This provides an (additional) source of funding to cover the cost of a residential care centre.
The Spanish healthcare real estate market is already currently facing a shortage of beds. Moreover, the existing inventory of beds is outdated. According to the latest available data, Spain has a total of 5,500 residential care centres with a total capacity of about 385,000 beds. Although
there are numerous operators in this highly competitive market. DomusVi, Orpea, Vitalia, Amavir and Ballesol account for almost 32% of private beds offered in Spanish residential care centres. The healthcare market is also characterised by strong fragmentation with a lot of potential for consolidati
on.
The investment volume for residential care centres in Spain has increased significantly in recent years, reaching a record volume of around €1.2 billion in 2021, double that of 2020. This increase was mainly achieved by the arrival of new international investors. Investments of approximately €300 million were made in 2022. Increasing construction and operating costs put a brake on new residential care centre development projects. Moreover, the second half of 2022 was characterised by the war in Ukraine, inflationary pressures, and rising interest rates, resulting in higher financing costs and a more limited investment volume. Only a limited number of transactions were identified in 2023. The total investment volume is around €100 million. A 'wait and see' strategy is already definitely in place until early 2024.
Care Property Invest actively participates as a real estate player and has the goal of making quality projects available to healthcare entrepreneurs as foreseen in the residential care decree.
Recent years have seen a demand for investment in the healthcare sector and, more specifically, elderly care. This trend will only increase in the coming years as Ireland's population ages. In the period between 2011 and 2016, Ireland saw a 19% increase in the number of people aged 65 and over. As a result, there has been a notable increase in investors and investment funds in recent years, in partnership with operators specifically targeting this sector. Most of the new investors, both operators and real estate investors, in this sector have come from France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and the UK. As already seen in other more mature markets such as the US and the UK, the healthcare sector tends to be particularly attractive to long-term capital and investors with experience in this specialised sector, in other jurisdictions.
The government launched the Nursing Home Support Scheme (Fair Deal Scheme) in 2009. According to the Fair Deal Scheme, a resident of a residential care centre must finance part of their care themselves, with the state compensating for the difference. All residents are assessed on their care and social needs and financial position. Meanwhile, 80% of all residents in residential care centres nationwide benefit from the Fair Deal rate scheme.
In the residential care centre sector, investors are largely focused on the Fair Deal rate (the amount the Irish state pays per week for providing care), which ranges from an average of €1,000 for regions like Claire to an average of almost €1,300 per week in for locations like Dublin. Investors will therefore be more attracted to investing in residential care homes with a
(1) Based on and incorporated in this yearly financial report with the agreement of CBRE higher Fair Deal rate because they generate
more income.
The number of private beds (of which there are almost 26,000) is dominated by around 15 operators, however, this number is decreasing due to increasing consolidation. The 22 largest operators control only 50% of all private and 'voluntary' beds.
The introduction of the 'National Quality Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People - 2009' and 'National Quality Standards for Residential Care Settings for Older People in Ireland - 2016' have led to an improvement in the quality of residential care centres. It is possible that a very significant number of these residential care centres in the public sector (some 7,000 beds across some 115 sites) will disappear from the offer with the introduction of HIQA standards. This also applies for the older (non-HIQA compliant) buildings from the private offer. This will result in improved standards but reduced supply. This will mainly have an impact outside of Dublin as it cannot be replaced in the short term.
To meet the demand that will come following the growth of the ageing population, approximately 10,000 new beds need to be created over the next 10 years to maintain a minimum 4.5% population-to-bed ratio. However, there is a shortage of new developments due to a lack of correctly priced development sites, inconsistency in correct Fair Deal rates and rising costs for new developments, with the price per new bed being around
€200,000.
Very few transactions were recorded in the Irish healthcare real estate market last year. This is in line with the rest of the
European market.

The average remaining term of the contracts is 14.62 years(1). This period includes the remaining term of the building right which, for the contracts in the initial real estate portfolio, is equal to the remaining leasehold period and the remaining tenancy period.

(1) As at 31 December 2023, Care Property Invest has 150 effectively acquired projects in its portfolio, of which 143 were completed and 7 projects under development (the care residence 'St. Josephkerk' in Hillegom (NL), the care residence 'Saamborgh Almelo' in Almelo (NL), the care residence 'Wolfsbergen' in 's-Graveland (NL), the residential care centre 'Solimar Tavernes Blanques' in Tavernes Blanques (ES), the residential care centre 'Solimar Elche' in Elche (ES, the residential care centre 'Marina del Port' in Barcelona (ES) and the residential care centre 'Sugarloaf Care Centre' in Kilmacanogue South (IE)).
Most of the contracts entered are 'triple net' contracts, as a result of which the ground rent or rental fee is always payable in full regardless of the actual occupancy rate and as a result of which the economic occupancy rate of these projects is always 100%(1). As a result, vacancy of the residential units has no impact on the income generated by the Company.
The Company can therefore confirm that the overall occupancy rate on the investment properties and finance leases is 100% (EPRA rental vacancy rate 0%) as at 31 December 2023.
Nevertheless, the Company wishes to include reporting on the overall actual occupancy rate in its reporting to meet the information needs of its stakeholders in that regard.
The upward trend in these actual residential care centres' occupancy rates(2), which started as early as 2022 after the COVID-19 pandemic, has persisted in 2023. In all countries where Care Property Invest operates, it is well above 80% for the relevant assets and we see it continuing to rise in its globality.
The table below shows the occupancy rates of investment properties by country as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2023. Only mature assets were included in the sample.
(1) Care Property Invest only runs a vacancy risk for the 'Tilia' project in Gullegem. The rental vacancy rate for the 'Tilia' project is
(2) In further notes, the portfolio of finance leases, among others, is excluded given the very limited counterparty risk.
| Occupancy rate mature portfolio (1) |
31 December 2022 | 31 December 2023 Country weighting (2) | Scope coverage (3) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Belgium | 90.90% | 92.78% | 77.62% | 100.00% |
| The Netherlands | 93.85% | 87.64% | 3.62% | 100.00% |
| Spain | 91.97% | 97.82% | 6.42% | 100.00% |
| Ireland | 94.68% | 94.32% | 12.34% | 100.00% |
| TOTAL | 91.54% | 93.11% | 100.00% | 100.00% |
(1) An asset is considered mature when it has been operational for at least two years and there is no vacancy due to renovation works. The scope is identical for both financial years.
(2) Share of a country's reported mature portfolio in the total reported mature portfolio.
(3) Scope coverage is based on the annualised rental income of the reported mature assets compared to the annualised rental income of the total scope for the 2023 financial year.
Overall, we see an increase in occupancy rates from 91.54% to 93.11%. The slight decrease we notice in 2023 in The Netherlands is due to the rather limited number of rooms in the sample for this country, so in practice it is a reduction in occupancy of only a limited number of rooms. Nevertheless, an occupancy rate of 87.64% is well above the required break-even level for operators.
therefore negligible in the overall portfolio. Over 2023, the occupancy rate was 94% compared to 77% over 2022. For the projects in the initial portfolio, the risk is placed entirely with the counterparty and the Company receives the canon regardless of the occupancy rate. For the new projects too, the Company seeks to shift all or most of this risk to the counterparty.
For the buildings that the Company develops or has developed itself, the Company contracts CAR insurance as well as liability insurance during the construction phase. 10-year liability insurance is contracted from the date that the projects are made available.
The lease-, tenancy and provision contracts include an obligation for all leaseholders, tenants and parties to which the property is made available to contract the necessary fire insurance for the new construction value. The leaseholder usually also needs to take out an income loss policy, which covers the company in the event that the property becomes unusable.
The insurance obligation for real estate that is shown in investment properties is also borne by the leaseholder or tenant (operator), in accordance with the requirements included in the lease contracts or tenancy agreements. Care Property Invest therefore pays no insurance premiums for these buildings. The Company exercises control over the compliance of the operators with their insurance obligations.
In compliance with Article 30 of the RREC Law, no more than 20% of the consolidated assets may be invested in property that constitutes a single property unit. As at 31 December 2023, Care Property Invest did not exceed the legal limit of 20% laid down in Article 30 of the RREC Law. As at 31 December, the concentration risk for Colisée is 13.77%, for Vulpia 11.10%, for Korian 8.28% and for My-Assist 6.62%.
The Company takes this legal provision into consideration with every acquisition it makes and the order in which these investments are made.

(1) For the hypotheses and principles adopted for the estimate of the rental value, reference is made to paragraph '4. Report of the real estate expert' on page 155. For the 'Aan de Kaai' investment property, the real estate expert based the calculation of the rental value on the assumption that the day-care centre will/can be converted into an additional 10 rooms. This estimated rental value is shown segmented by country.
(2) The calculation also takes into account the fair value of the ongoing development projects per operator. The other real estate units do not represent more than 5% of the total assets. The consolidated assets include finance leases at fair value.
(1) For the calculation method of the occupancy rate, we refer to paragraph '1.3 Occupancy rate' on page 302 of Chapter IX. Glossary.
As at 31 December 2023, Care Property Invest has 150 effectively acquired residential care projects in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland. The Company's long-term ambition is to further increase this number and further diversify the operator base.

The total assets of the real estate portfolio amount to €1,236,567,900(1). It consists of investment properties on the one hand and finance leases on the other. In the second quarter of this year, the Company had the finance leases valued for the first time by an independent real estate expert to ensure correctness and objectivity.
(1) Including rights in rem, excluding assets held for sale.
The real estate portfolio has been valued by Stadim, Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE. The total fair value of the portfolio amounts to €994,464,900 (including rights in rem). The fair value of the portfolio valued by Stadim amounts to €738,067,900 (74%). The fair value of the portfolio valued by Cushman & Wakefield amounts to €168,836,800 (17%). The fair value of the portfolio, valued by CBRE, amounted to €87,560,200 (9%).

Dear Madam or Sir,
According to the statutory provisions, we have the honour of expressing our view on the value of the real estate portfolio of the public regulated real estate company (public RREC) Care Property Invest as at 31 December 2023.
Both Stadim cvba and the natural persons that represent Stadim confirm that they have acted as independent experts and hold the necessary relevant and recognised qualifications.
The valuation was performed on the basis of the market value, as defined in the 'International Valuation Standards' published by the 'Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' (the 'Red Book'). As part of a report that complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), our estimates reflect the fair value. The fair value is defined by the IAS 40 standard as the amount for which the assets would be transferred between two well-informed parties, on a voluntary basis, without special interests, mutual or otherwise. IVSC considers that these conditions have been met if the above definition of market value is respected. The market value must also reflect the current rental agreements, the current gross margin for self-financing (or cash flow), the reasonable assumptions concerning the potential rental income and the expected costs.
The costs of deeds must be adjusted in this context to the current situation in the market. Following an analysis of a large number of transactions, the real estate experts acting in a working group at the request of listed real estate companies reached the conclusion that, as real estate can be transferred in different forms, the impact of the transaction costs on large investment properties in the Belgian market with a value in excess of €2.5 million is limited to 2.5%. The value with no additional costs payable by the buyer therefore corresponds to the fair value plus deed costs of
2.5%. The fair value is therefore calculated by dividing the value with no additional costs payable by the buyer by 1.025. The properties below the threshold of €2.5 million and the foreign properties are subject to the customary registration laws and their fair value therefore corresponds to the value with costs payable by the buyer.
Both the current lease contracts and all rights and obligations arising from these contracts were taken into account in the estimates of the property values. Individual estimates were made for each property. The estimates do not take account of any potential added value that could be realised by offering the portfolio as a whole in the market. Our valuation does not take account of selling costs or taxes payable in relation to a transaction or development of real estate. These could include estate agents' fees or publicity costs, for example.
In addition to an annual inspection of the relevant real estate, our estimates are also based on the information provided by Care Property Invest in relation to the rental situation, the floor areas, the drawings or plans, the rental charges and taxes in connection with the properties concerned, conformity with laws and regulations and environmental pollution. The information provided was deemed to be accurate and complete. Our estimates assume that elements that were not reported are not of a nature that would influence the value of the property. This valuation reflects the value in the market on the valuation date.

We are pleased to send you our estimate of the fair value of investment properties held by Care property Invest as of 31 December 2023.
The valuations have been carried out taking into account the comments and definitions included in the reports and this according to the guidelines of the International Valuation Standards issued by the 'IVSC'.
We have acted individually as experts for the valuation where we have the necessary and recognised qualifications as well as the necessary expertise for these locations and types of buildings to be assessed. The determination of the fair value of the assessor has been derived primarily by using recent, comparable transactions that have taken place in the market, at arm's length conditions.
The valuation of the properties is assessed on the basis of the current rental contract and all associated rights and obligations. Each property was evaluated individually. This valuation does not take into account the potential value that can be realised by putting the entire portfolio on the market.
The valuations do not take into account the selling costs of a specific transaction such as brokerage or publicity costs. The valuations are based on property visits and information provided by Care Property Invest (such as current rent, area, plans, changes in rent, property taxes and regulations and pollution).
The information provided is assumed to be accurate and complete. The valuation is carried out on the assumption that the unavailable information does not affect the valuation of the property.
The 3 internationally defined valuation methods, as defined in the RICS Red Book, are the market approach, the cost approach and the income approach. These valuation methods are easily recognised by their basic principles:
The market approach equates to the comparison method of valuation;
The income approach refers to the investment method, either traditional (cap rate) or discounted cash flow (DCF) and is generally used for income generating properties;
The Cost Approach is often taken to refer to the Depreciated Replacement Cost method (DRC) and is generally used for non-income generating properties.
The different valuation methodologies are explained in the valuation reports and are based on the RICS Red
Book.
Based on the valuations, the consolidated fair value of the portfolio amounted to €168,836,800(1) (after deduction of outstanding construction costs) as at 31 December 2023.

Dear Madam, Sir,
We are pleased to send you our estimate of the fair value of investment properties held by Care property Invest as of 31 December 2023.
The valuations have been carried out in accordance with the current version of the RICS Valuation – Global Standards incorporating the International Valuation Standards and the UK national supplement (the 'Red Book'), as set out in our Terms of Engagement.
We act as an External valuer as defined in the current version of the RICS Valuation – Global Standards. We have acted individually as experts for the valuation where we have the necessary and recognised qualifications as well as the necessary expertise relevant to the locations and types of buildings being assessed. The determination of the fair value of the assessor has been derived primarily by using recent, comparable transactions that have taken place in the market, at arm's length conditions.
The valuation of the properties is assessed on the basis of the current rental income and all associated rights and obligations. We have valued the Properties individually and no account has been taken of any discount or premium that may be negotiated in the market if all or part of the portfolio was to be marketed simultaneously, either in lots or as a whole.
The valuations do not take into account the selling costs of a specific transaction such as brokerage or publicity costs. The valuations are based on property visits and information provided by Care Property Invest. The information provided is assumed to be accurate and complete. The valuation is carried out on the assumption that the unavailable information does not affect the valuation of the property.
The 3 internationally defined valuation methods, as defined in the RICS Red Book, are the market approach, the cost approach and the income approach. These valuation methods are easily recognised by their basic principles:
The different valuation methodologies are explained in the valuation report and are based on the RICS Red Book.
Based on the valuations and as outlined in the valuation report, the consolidated fair value of the portfolio amounts to €87,560,200(1) as at 31 December 2023.
Kind regards

The finance leases portfolio was valued by Cushman & Wakefield. The Company had this portfolio valued for the first time in the second quarter of this year to ensure its accuracy and objectivity. The total fair value amounts to €242,103,000.
Dear Madam, Sir,
We are pleased to send you our estimate of the fair value of investment properties held by Care property Invest as at 31 December 2023.
The valuation of the finance leases is based on information supplied by Care Property Invest (e.g. rental status and area, rental charges and property taxes associated with the property, and compliance and pollution issues). The information supplied was assumed to be accurate and complete.
The valuations were performed under the assumption that uncommunicated information, is unlikely to affect the valuation.
Finance leases are considered in the context of ongoing rental agreements and all rights and obligations arising from these commitments.
We have valued each finance lease separately and have not taken into account any potential value that could be generated by offering the entire portfolio on the market.
We have not taken into account selling expenses applicable to a specific transaction, such as brokerage fees or advertising.
The valuation of the finance leases has been carried out under the following assumptions:
In addition, the following insights are provided on the portfolio of finance lease:
• The portfolio is divided into an 'old' and 'new' part where there are some differences in the terms of the end-of-lease payment, while in the 'new' finance leases, the capital repayments are already included in the canons and consequently no end-of-lease payment needs to be paid.
• The discount rates consist of a risk premium added to a risk-free interest rate for the respective terms of the finance leases (OLO 1D).
Based on the valuations, the consolidated fair value of the finance leases amounted to €242,103,000 (after deduction of outstanding construction costs) as at 31 December 2023.

For the 2023 financial year, the Company proposes a gross dividend of €1.00 per share. This represents a


Comparison stock price shares (in %)



In accordance with Article 11 §3 of the RREC Law, Article 7: 211 of the Belgian Code of companies and associations (BCCA) – which requires a statutory reserve to be kept - is not applicable. The minimum pay-out requirement is established in accordance with Article 13 of the RREC RD and amounts to 80% of the distributable profit if it exceeds the net decrease in debts. If necessary, and to the extent that there is sufficient profit, part of the profit is reserved and transferred to the following financial years in order to have more own funds for pre-financing and to provide the shareholders, in accordance with the original prospectus(1), a stable dividend for the subsequent financial years. The Company's strategy is to increase the dividend whenever sustainably possible and at least to keep it stable. In addition, it aims for a payout ratio close to the legal minimum of 80% and is considering using an optional dividend to keep profits within the Company to finance its growth strategy.
Taking into account the minimum distribution obligation in accordance with Article 13 of the RREC RD, the Board of Directors will propose to the Ordinary General Meeting of 29 May 2024, for the 2023 financial year, the payment of a gross dividend of €1.00 per share (or €0.85 net per share), applying the reduced withholding tax rate of 15%. This represents, despite the increase in the number of shares entitled to dividend by 9,247,208, an equalling of the dividend paid for the 2022 financial year.
Care Property Invest intends to pay an unchanged gross dividend of at least €1.00 per share for the 2024 financial year, which equates to a net dividend of €0.85 per share.
The Company's solvency is supported by the stable value of its real estate projects.
The Care Property Invest share is included in the following indices on 31 December 2023:

Since December 2016, the Company is also a member of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA). Though its share is not included in the EPRA index, it uses this index as a benchmark and applies the EPRA standards in its annual and semi-annual financial reporting.
For the financing of its projects, the Company also relies on the capital market by issuing bonds and commercial paper through an MTN programme with Belfius as arranger and Belfius and KBC as dealers (KBC only for the CP part).

Care Property Invest is a member of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) since December 2016.

With a joint real estate portfolio that exceeds the mark of €840 billion(1), more than 290 EPRA members (companies, investors, and their suppliers) represent the core of the European listed real estate. The purpose of this non-profit organisation is to promote the European (listed) real estate and its role in society. Its members are listed companies and join forces to improve accounting guidelines, the supply of information and corporate governance within the European real estate sector. Furthermore, EPRA provides high-quality information to investors and publishes standards for financial reporting which as from the financial year 2016 on were included in the half-yearly and annual financial reports of Care Property Invest.
In February 2022 the Board of directors of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) published an update of the report 'EPRA Reporting: Best Practices Recommendations' ('EPRA Best Practices'). The report is available on the EPRA website (www.epra.com). This report contains recommendations for the most important indicators of the financial performance of listed real estate companies. Care Property Invest supports the current tendency to standardise reporting in view of higher quality and comparability of information

Care Property Invest only runs a vacancy risk for the 'Tilia' project in Gullegem. For the other projects, the risk is placed with the counterparty and the Company receives the canon/rent, regardless of the occurrence of a certain vacancy. On 31 December 2023, there are no vacant flats for the 'Tilia' project.
The like-for-like net rental income compares the net rental income of the portfolio (including capital repayments and rental discounts) coming from the projects that were kept in operation during 2 consecutive years and were therefore not under development. Information regarding the growth of the net rental income, other than through acquisitions or disposals, allows the stakeholders to estimate the organic growth of the portfolio.
The fair value of the like-for-like portfolio used for the comparison below is €913.2 million as at 31 December 2023 compared to €863.3 million as at 31 December 2022. The sharp increase in fair value is due to the new calculation method for valuing financial leases. For additional explanations regarding the different calculation methods, we refer to chapter 'II Report of the Board of Directors' under point '3.4 Consolidated balance sheet' on page 72.

The change in net rental income with an unchanged portfolio as at 31 December 2023 compared to the same period last year can be fully explained by the indexation of the existing leases, which was passed on in full and amounts to an average of 10.46% over the 2023 financial year, which comes down to an amount of €5.0 million.

Care Property Invest (the 'Company') is a public limited liability company that acquired the status of a public regulated real estate company (RREC) under Belgian law on 25 November 2014. The offices of the Company are located at the following address: Horstebaan 3, 2900 Schoten (Telephone: +32 3 222 94 94).
Care Property Invest actively participates as a real estate player and has the objective of making high-quality projects available to care providers as provided for in the Residential Care Decree. These include residential care centres, service centres, groups of assisted-living apartments and all other housing facilities for people with disabilities. Care Property Invest can develop, realise and finance these facilities itself, or can refinance existing buildings, with or without a renovation or expansion.
The Care Property Invest share is listed on Euronext Brussels (regulated market). The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2023 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. For an overview of the subsidiaries, we refer to note 'T 5.35 Information on subsidiaries' on page 240.
The financial statements were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on 23 April 2024. The financial statements will be submitted to the Ordinary Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 29 May 2024.
The financial statements of the company were drawn up in compliance with the 'International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)', as approved and accepted within the European Union (EU) and in accordance with the provisions of the RREC Legislation and the RREC RD. These standards cover all new and revised standards and interpretations published by the 'International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)' and the 'International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)', in as far as applicable to the activities of the group.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, unless stated otherwise, and cover the twelvemonth period ending on 31 December 2023.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for those assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value, i.e., investment properties and financial assets and liabilities.
The following new standards, new amendments and new interpretations are applicable to the Company for the first time in 2023, but have no impact on the current consolidated financial statements:
The new and amended standards and interpretations that were issued but not yet effective at the date of publication of the Company's consolidated financial statements are set out below. The Company intends to apply these standards when applicable, if they have an impact on the Company:
The companies included in the Company's consolidated financial statements are subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. A company exerts control over a subsidiary if, and only if, the parent
company:
• has power over the participating
• is exposed to and has rights to variable proceeds based on its involvement in the participating interest and; • has the possibility of using its power over the participating interest to influence the scale of the investor's
The companies in which the group directly or indirectly holds participating interests of more than 50% or in which it has the power to determine the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group in full. This means that the assets, liabilities and results of the entire group are fully reflected. Inter-company transactions and profits are entirely eliminated. All transactions between the group companies, balances and unrealised profits and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The minority interests are the interests in the subsidiaries that are not held directly or indirectly by the group. See also the Notes 'T 5.35 Information on subsidiaries' on page 240.
The intangible fixed assets are capitalised at their acquisition value and depreciated according to the linear method at an annual percentage of 20%.
Real estate (land and buildings) acquired for valuable consideration or through a contribution in kind for the issue of new shares or via a merger through the acquisition of a real estate company or via a partial split, which is held in order to generate rental income in the long term, and which does not serve for personal use, is shown as investment property.
On initial recognition, investment properties are shown at acquisition cost, including transaction costs and directly attributable expenditure.
For differences in value between the purchase price and the initial valuation at fair value at the time of recognition (acquisition), the value difference relating to transfer taxes and transfer costs is included through the global result statement.
After initial recognition, investment properties are shown at fair value, in accordance with IAS 40. The fair value is equal to the amount for which the building could be exchanged between wellinformed parties, consenting and acting in circumstances of normal competition. From the seller's point of view, the valuation must be understood as subject to the deduction of registration fees.
The independent real estate experts who carry out the periodic valuation of the assets of regulated real estate companies believe that, for transactions involving buildings in Belgium with an overall value of less than €2.5 million, account must be taken of registration fees of 12% (Flemish Region) to 12.5% (Brussels Capital Region and Walloon Region), depending on the regions where these assets are located. For transactions concerning properties with an overall value of more than €2.5 million, real estate experts have valued the weighted average of the fees at 2.5%. This is because a range of different property transfer methods is used in Belgium. This percentage will, if necessary, be revised annually and adjusted per bracket of 0.5%. The experts will confirm the agreed percentage to be deducted in their periodic reports to the shareholders. For real estate in The Netherlands this percentage is 10.9%, in Ireland it is 9.96%, while for Spain it is determined regionally.
Profits or losses arising from the change in the fair value of investment properties are included in the global result statement in section 'XVIII. Changes in the fair value of investment properties' in the period in which they arise, and in the profit appropriation in the following year they are allocated to the reserve 'b) Reserve for the balance of changes in the fair value of real estate' and 'c) reserve for the impact on the fair value of estimated mutation rights and costs on hypothetical disposal of investment properties', where the latter item always corresponds to the difference between the investment value and the fair value of the property.
On the sale of an investment property, the profits or losses realised on the sale are shown in section 'XVI. Result sale of investment properties' in the global result statement for the period under review. Commission paid to brokers on the sale of buildings and liabilities contracted as a result of transactions are deducted from the sale price obtained in order to determine the realised profit or loss.
The realised gain or loss on disposal consists of the difference between the net sale value and the latest book value (fair value on the latest valuation), as well as the counter-entry of the estimated transfer taxes that are taken directly to the equity on the balance sheet on the initial assessment of the fair value.
As the real estate is sold, both reserve 'b) Reserve for the balance of changes in the fair value of real estate' and reserve 'c) Reserve for the impact on the fair value of estimated transfer taxes and costs resulting from hypothetical disposal of investment properties' relating to the sold property are transferred to the disposable reserves.
Real estate under construction or in development for future use as investment property must also be treated as investment property and is shown in the 'Project development' sub-section.
There is a clear picture of the project costs to be incurred.
signature of rental contract).
After the initial recognition, projects are shown at their fair value. This fair value takes account of the substantial development risks. The following criteria must be met in this regard:
All costs relating directly to the acquisition or development and all further investment expenditure are included in the cost price of the development project. In accordance with IAS 23, the financing costs directly attributable to the construction or acquisition of an investment property are capitalised for the period for making the investment property ready for letting.
The capitalisation of financing costs as part of the cost price of an asset qualifying for this takes place only if:
The capitalisation of financing costs is suspended during long periods in which the active development is interrupted. The capitalisation is not suspended during a period in which extensive technical and administrative work is performed.
Lease agreements with a term longer than 12 months and for which the underlying asset has a high value must be classified by means of a right of use on the asset in accordance with IFRS 16. On the starting date, the asset corresponding to a right of use is valued at cost price. After the starting date, the asset is valued on the basis of the fair value model in accordance with IAS 40.
Assets that are held for the Company's own use in the production or delivery of goods or services, for rental to third parties or for administrative purposes and which are expected to be used for longer than a single period, are shown as tangible fixed assets, in accordance with IAS 16.
Property, plant and equipment must be shown at cost if it is probable that the future economic benefits from the asset will accrue to the Company and if the cost of the asset can be determined reliably.
The cost price of an asset is the equivalent of the discounted price on the recognition date (the cost price) and all directly attributable costs for making the asset ready for use. Later costs for day-to-day maintenance of tangible fixed assets are not included in the book value of the asset. This expenditure is shown in the income statement at the time at which it is incurred. Future expenditure for maintenance and repairs is capitalised only if this can be clearly shown to result in an increase in the future economic benefits from the use of the asset.
All tangible fixed assets are shown at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
The different categories of tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straightline method of depreciation over the estimated service life of the asset. The residual value and the service life must be reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. An asset is depreciated from the date on which it is ready for the envisaged use. Depreciation of an asset is discontinued on the date on which the asset is held for sale or is no longer used.
Depreciation takes place even if the fair value of the asset exceeds its book value, until the residual value is reached. From the date on which the residual value is equal to or higher than the book value, the depreciation cost is zero, until such time as the residual value is again less than the book value of the asset.
Tangible fixed assets for the Company's own use are depreciated in accordance with the following depreciation rates according to the straight-line method:
| Building | 3,33% |
|---|---|
| (for the Company's own use) | |
| Equipment of building | 10% |
| Furniture | 10% |
| Computers | 33,33% |
| Office machinery | 25% |
| Rolling stock | 20% |
| Office fittings and | 10% |
| furnishings |
At the time when an asset is disposed of or at the time when no future economic benefits are expected any longer from the use or disposal of an asset, the property, plant or equipment can no longer be shown in the balance sheet of the Company.
The gain or loss arising through the disposal or retirement of an asset is the difference between any net proceeds on disposal and the book value of the asset. This capital gain or loss is shown in the global result statement.
The construction costs for projects in preparation and projects under construction are shown at the cost price (nominal value) in the other operating expenses and are capitalised via the other operating revenues in other tangible fixed assets. On provisional acceptance of the building, the leasing activities commence, and the amount of the net investment is classified in the balance sheet item 'I.F. Finance lease receivables'.
IFRS 16 requires that a lease receivable is valued on commencement at the discounted value of the future income flows. The difference between the construction costs and this discounted value is then the result of the development of the leased object. This must be recognised in the result in proportion to the construction period as the result of the construction activities in 'Other operational revenues/costs'.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are indications that a non-financial asset may be subject to impairment. If any such indication exists, an estimate is made of the realisable value of the asset.
If an asset's book value exceeds its realisable value, an impairment is recognised in order to reduce the book value of the asset to the realisable amount. The realisable value of an asset is defined as the higher of the fair value less selling costs (assuming a non-forced sale) or the value in use (based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows). The resulting impairments are charged to the global result statement.
Previously recognised impairments are reversed via the global result statement if a change has occurred in the estimate used to determine the realisable value of the asset since the recognition of the last impairment loss.
The financial assets are classified in one of the categories provided for according to IFRS 9 'Financial instruments: recognition and valuation', depending on the purpose for which the financial asset is acquired, which are determined on their initial recognition of the assets. This classification determines the valuation of the financial asset on future balance sheet dates: at the amortised cost price or based on the equity method (in accordance with IAS 28).
Derivative products or financial interest rate derivatives (including Interest Rate Swaps) can be used for hedging interest rate risks arising from operational, financial and investment activities. The derivative financial instruments which the Company uses do not meet the criteria of IFRS 9 for the application of hedge accounting (are not held for trading purposes and are not acquired for sale in the near future) and are recognised in the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in their fair value are taken directly to the global result statement.
The fair value of financial instruments is based on the market value calculations of the counterparty and the respective fair values are regarded as 'Level 2', as defined under IFRS 13 (see also note 'T 5.11 Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities' on page 221).
The fair value of the hedging instruments is the estimated amount of the fees that the Company must pay or should receive in order to settle its positions on the balance sheet date, taking account of the interest curve, the creditworthiness of the counterparties and any option value applying at that time. The fair value of hedging instruments is estimated monthly by the issuing financial institution. In accordance with IFRS 13, an adjustment is made to the fair value to reflect the counterparty's own credit risk ('Debt Valuation Adjustment' or 'DVA') and the counterparty's credit rating ('Credit Valuation Adjustment' or 'CVA').
The acquisitions of the shares of subsidiaries of Care Property Invest take place in the context of an 'asset deal' to which IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' does not apply. The participating interests are valued based on the equity method (in accordance with IAS 28).
Loans and receivables (including guarantees) are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not listed in an active market and are valued at the amortised cost price.
Care Property Invest as lessor
A lease contract is classified as a financial lease if it transfers virtually all the risks and benefits associated with ownership to the lessee. All other forms of lease are treated as operational leases. If a lease contract complies with the terms of a financial lease (according to International Accounting Standards IFRS 16), Care Property Invest, as the lessorowner, recognises the lease agreement at its inception in the balance sheet as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease agreement. The difference between the latter amount and the book value of the leased property will be recognised in the global result statement for the period.
Any periodic payment made by the lessee will be recognised as income under rental income in the global result statement (see 'T 5.3 Rental income' on page 217) and/ or as a repayment of the investments in the balance sheet (see 'T 5.17 Finance lease receivables and trade receivables and other non-current assets' on page 229), based on a constant periodic return for Care
Property Invest.
The item 'I.F. Finance lease receivables 'shows the investment cost of the transferred projects and therefore assigned in leasehold, less the contractual prepayments received, and reimbursements already made.
At the start of the lease period, lease agreements (with the exception of lease agreements with a maximum term of 12 months and lease agreements in which the underlying asset has a low value) are included in the balance sheet as asset (right of use) and lease obligation at the present value of the future lease payments. Subsequently, all rights of use, which classify as investment properties, are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. We refer to 'T 2.4 Investment properties' on page 192 for the accounting policies relating to investment properties. Minimum lease payments are included partly as financing costs and partly as repayments of the outstanding liability in such a way that this results in a constant periodic interest rate for the remaining balance of the liability.
Financial charges are included directly in the global result statement.
The item 'I.G. Trade receivable and other fixed assets' regarding the projects included in the finance leases contains the profit or loss margin allocated to the construction phase of a project. The profit or loss margin is the difference between the nominal value of the fee due at the end of the right of superficie (included in the item 'I.F. Finance lease receivables') and the fair value at the time of provision, determined by discounting the future cash flows (being the leasehold and rental fees and the fee due at the end of the right of superficie) at a rate equal to the IRS rate plus a margin that would apply on the date on which the lease contract was contracted. The increase by a margin depends on the margin that the Company pays the bank as a cost of funding. For the bank, the margin depends on the underlying surety and is therefore different for a PCSW or a non-profit association. This item also contains a provision for discounted costs of service provision, as the Company remains involved in the maintenance of the property following delivery of the building, in connection with advice or intervention in the event of any construction damage or adjustments imposed, following up lease payments, etc.
During the term of the contract, the receivable is phased out, as the added value and provision for costs of services is written down each year and is charged to the global result statement in 'Other operating income and expenses'.
If the discount rate (i.e., the IRS interest rate plus a margin) on the date of the contracting of the lease agreement is higher or virtually equal to the interest rate implicit in the leasehold payments stipulated on commencement of the leasehold, this calculation leads to the recognition of a mathematical loss during the construction phase (e.g., in the event of falling interest rates). Over the entire duration of the contract, however, the projects are profitable, since the leasehold payment is always higher than the actual cost of financing.
There is an estimation uncertainty as regards the profit margin on the projects; this is partly due to altered operating expenses, the impact of which is reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary, but the profit or loss margin also depends on rising or falling interest rates.
Receivables at a maximum of one year are shown at their nominal value less impairments due to dubious or irrecoverable receivables, which are recognised as impairment losses in the global result statement.
Tax receivables are shown at the tax rate applying in the period to which they relate.
Cash and cash equivalents (bank accounts, cash and short-term investments) are shown at the amortised cost price. The additional costs are processed directly in the global result statement.
The costs incurred during the financial year that are wholly or partially attributable to the following financial year are shown in accruals and deferrals on the basis of a proportionality rule. The income and fractions of income received in the course of one or more subsequent financial years, but relating to the financial year concerned, are entered for the amount relating to the financial year in question.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are shown at the amount of the sums received (after deduction of directly attributable issuing costs).
The treasury shares in the Company's possession, if any, are deducted from equity at the initial acquisition cost. The increase and/or decrease in value realised on the sale of treasury shares is recognised directly as equity and has no impact on the adjusted EPRA earnings.
Dividends form part of the transferred result and are recognised as a liability only in the period in which they are formally awarded, i.e., approved by the general meeting of shareholders.
A provision is formed when:
The amount of the provision is based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the existing obligation as at the balance sheet date, taking account of the risks and uncertainties associated with the liability. If the effect of the time value of money is significant, provisions are discounted using a discount rate that takes account of the current market assessments of the time value of money and the inherent risks of the liability.
Financial payables at the amortised cost price, including debts, are initially valued at fair value, net of transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are valued at the amortised cost price. The group's financial payables are shown in 'Other current liabilities' at the amortised cost price, comprising non-current financial liabilities, other non-current liabilities, current financial liabilities, trade debts and dividends payable.
Derivative products or financial interest rate derivatives (including Interest Rate Swaps) can be used for hedging interest rate risks arising from operational, financial and investment activities. The derivative financial instruments which the Company uses do not meet the criteria of IFRS 9 for the application of hedge accounting (are not held for trading purposes and are not acquired for sale in the near future) and are recognised in the balance sheet at their fair value; changes in their fair value are taken directly to the global result statement.
The fair value of financial instruments is based on the market value calculations of the counterparty and the respective fair values are regarded as 'Level 2', as defined under IFRS 13 (see also the notes to 'T 5.11 Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities' on page 221)
The fair value of the hedging instruments is the estimated amount of the fees that the Company must pay or shall receive in order to settle its positions on the balance sheet date, taking account of the interest curve, the creditworthiness of the counterparties and any option value applying at that time. The fair value of hedging instruments is estimated on a monthly basis by the issuing financial institutions. In accordance with IFRS 13, an adjustment is made to the fair value to reflect the counterparty's own credit risk ('Debt Valuation Adjustment' or 'DVA') and the counterparty's credit rating ('Credit Valuation Adjustment' or 'CVA').
Lease agreements with a term longer than 12 months and for which the underlying asset has a high value must be recognised by way of a lease payment on the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16. The lease payment is equal to the current value of the lease payments outstanding on the reporting date.
Tax liabilities are shown at the tax rate applying in the period to which they relate.
The costs incurred during the following financial year that relate wholly or partially to the financial year concerned are shown in the current financial year as attributable costs for the amount relating to the financial year concerned. Income received during the financial year that is wholly or partially attributable to the following financial year is shown in accruals and deferrals on the basis of a proportionality rule.
The contracts Care Property Invest has concluded in relation to group insurance are of the 'defined contribution' type. This defined contribution pension plan has been entrusted to Belfius Bank. These pension plans are regarded as 'defined contribution' plans with fixed costs for the employer and are shown under 'group insurance contributions'. Employees make no personal contribution. Premiums are recognised in the financial year in which they were paid or scheduled. However, under the 'Vandenbroucke Law' these group insurance policies would be regarded as 'defined benefit' plans within the meaning of IAS 19, and the Company would be required to guarantee an average minimum rate of return of 1.75% (currently) on the employer's contributions. In principle, the Company would have additional obligations if the statutory minimum return could not be achieved. Moreover, the impact on the Company's results would be limited, since it has only a small number of employees.

The net rental result comprises the rents, operational lease instalments and other related income, less the costs associated with leases, such as the costs of voids, rent benefits and impairments of trade receivables.
The rent benefits consist of temporary rental discounts or rent-free periods for the operator of the property.
Revenues are shown at the fair value of the fee received or to which rights were acquired and are shown on a proportional basis in the global result statement in the period to which they relate.
In view of the triple net nature(1) of the contracts, the Company is not liable for the costs of maintenance and repair, utilities, insurance and taxes for the building. With double net contracts, the Company does bear the risk of the maintenance and repair costs. With single net contracts, in addition to maintenance and repair costs, the lessor also bears the vacancy risk.
The Company's general expenses cover the fixed operating costs of Care Property Invest, which is active as a listed company and enjoys RREC status.
Revenues and costs are shown on a proportional basis in the global result statement in the period to which they relate.
All information of a fiscal nature is provided on the basis of laws, decrees and administrative guidelines in effect at the time of the preparation of the financial statements.
The status of a RREC provides for a fiscally transparent status, as RRECs are only still liable to corporate tax for specific elements of the result, such as rejected expenditure, abnormal and benevolent benefits and secret commissions. Generally, rental income, financial income and the gain realised on the disposal of assets are exempt from tax.
The corporate tax is recorded directly to the income statement unless the tax relates to elements that are included directly in equity. In that case, the tax is also shown directly in equity. The current tax burden consists of the expected tax on the taxable income for the year and corrections to previous financial years.
Deferred tax receivables and liabilities are included for all temporary deductible and taxable differences between the taxable base and the book value. Such receivables and liabilities are not shown if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets or liabilities.
(1) With the exception of the 'Les Terrasses du Bois' project in Watermaal-Bosvoorde, for which a long-term double net agreement has been concluded, and the 'Tilia' project in Gullegem for which a long-term single net agreement has been concluded.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally included for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax receivables are recognised as far as it is probable that sufficient fiscal profit will be available, against which the temporary differences can be offset.
Deferred tax receivables are reduced if it is no longer probable that the realised tax benefit will be realised.
Pursuant to Article 161(1°) of the Inheritance Tax Code, the Company must pay tax each year as a RREC, based on the total net amounts outstanding in Belgium as at 31 December of the preceding year.
Pursuant to the Law regulating the recognition and definition of crowd funding and containing various provisions concerning financing, public RRECs of which at least 80% of the real estate consists of real estate located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and which is used or intended solely or primarily for residential care or residential units adapted for residential care or health care can enjoy a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% (as amended from time to time).
In addition, pursuant to Articles 116 and 118, §1(6th) of the RD /Income Tax Code 92, the Company is exempt from withholding tax on income allocated to Belgian public regulated real estate companies.
Subject to compliance with certain conditions, the heirs of shareholders enjoy an exemption from inheritance tax (formerly 'succession tax' in the Inheritance Tax Code, Article 55bis Order of the Flemish Government of 3 May 1995, replaced by Article 11 of the 'Decree containing various provisions on finances and budgets' of 9 November 2012 (Official Gazette of 26 November 2012) - Circular No. 2 of 27 March 1997 and now Article 2.7.6.0.1. of the Flemish Codex Taxation (VCF)).
The maximum exemption for the stock market value of the share amounts to its issue price of €5.95 (= value of the issue price/1,000 due to the share split of 24 March 2014). Likewise, the sum of the net dividends paid during the period in which the deceased or his or her spouse was the holder of the shares may also be exempt, in as far as the shares form part of the estate. The conditions for exemption from inheritance tax can also be viewed on the website at www.carepropertyinvest.be.
The exit tax is a tax on the added value determined on a taxed merger, split or equated transaction of a RREC with a Belgian company that is not a RREC.
If this company is included in the consolidated group statements for the first time, the exit tax is charged to the equity of that company. If the company is not immediately merged with the RREC, adjustments to the exit tax liabilities that would prove to be necessary at the time of the merger in relation to the amount provided for are recognised in the global result statement.
The exit tax rate as at 31 December 2023 was
15%.
The exit tax is calculated on the basis of the deferred added value and the exempted reserves of the real estate company that makes the contribution through a merger, split or equated action. The deferred added value is the positive difference between the actual fiscal value of the equity of the relevant real estate company (that has been split off) less the previously assumed fiscal depreciation, amortisation and impairments. Existing tax deferrals (deductible losses, transferred notional interest deductions, etc.) can be deducted from the taxable base. The actual fiscal value is the value with costs paid by the buyer, i.e., after deduction of registration rights or VAT, and may differ from the fair value of the real estate shown in the RREC's balance sheet in accordance
with IAS 40.
In accordance with IFRS 8, the Company makes a distinction between the 4 geographical segments in which it operates: Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland.
In addition, the Company also makes a distinction between the investment properties on the one hand and the finance leases on the other, as a result of which it now prepares segment reporting per business model.
The segmented information has been prepared taking into account the operating segments and the information used internally to take decisions. The operating results are regularly assessed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (senior officers of the Company) or CODM in order to take decisions regarding the distribution of available resources and to determine the performance of the segment. Within Care Property Invest nv the Executive Committee acts as CODM.
For the accounting policies we refer to Notes 2 — Accounting policies. Every group of companies under a joint control is considered to be the same customer. The revenue from transactions with these customers must be stated if it exceeds 10% of the turnover. For Care Property Invest nv, for the 2023 financial year, this concerns the following customers:
The segmented information includes the results, assets and liabilities that can be attributed to a specific segment either directly or on a reasonable basis.

For the allocation of 'General expenses of the Company' and 'Other operating income and expenses', for those expenses and income that cannot be allocated exclusively, an allocation key based on the number of projects within each business model was used. For the 2023 financial year, the portfolio of 150 projects consists of 79 finance leases and 71 investment properties compared to 145 projects in 2022 of which 80 finance leases and 65 investment properties.
The profit or loss margin attributed to the period which is adjusted to reach the EBITDA concerns the amortisation of capital gains and provision for service costs. For further explanation, please refer to 'T 2.8 Finance lease receivables & trade receivables' on page 197. These items are non-cash items that are adjusted as part of the calculation of adjusted EPRA earnings and the EBITDA.

The list of risks described in this chapter is not exhaustive. Within the framework of the Prospectus Regulation, the Company has limited itself to the financial risks that apply specifically to it and therefore not to the overall real estate sector, RREC sector or all listed companies and those that are also material. The market risks, operational risks, regulatory risks and other risks were described in chapter 'I. Risk factors' on page 28 et seq. of the annual financial report.
This risk can be described as the risk of non-compliance with statutory or contractual requirements to comply with certain financial parameters under the credit agreements, which could lead to their cancellation or renegotiation.
The main covenants cover the following:
• A maximum debt ratio of 60%. As at 31 December 2023, the consolidated debt ratio of the Company was 46.65%, resulting in an available space of €399.3 million. The limitation of the debt ratio to 60% is included in the credit agreements for a total amount of €541,498,273 (of which, as at 31 December 2023, an amount of €395,998,273 was drawn or 73.0% of the total financial debts liabilities drawn). For more information on the debt ratio, reference is made to 'T 4.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 212.
As at 31 December 2023 the interest coverage ratio was 3.44 compared to 4.25 as at 31 December 2022. The Company's interest charges must increase by €5,760,377 or from €15,295,746 to €21,056,123 in order to reach the required minimum of 2.5. However, severe and abrupt pressure on the operating result could jeopardise compliance with the interest coverage ratio parameter. The operating result before result on portfolio must fall by 27.4% from €52,640,307 to €38,239,365 before the limit of 2.5 is reached. • A minimum consolidated portfolio size of €650 million.
In addition, the risk of early termination exists in the event of a change of control of the Company, in the event of a breach of 'negative pledge' or other covenants and obligations of the Company and, more generally, in the event of default as defined in these financing agreements. A default (it should be noted that certain instances of 'default' or breach of covenants, such as a change of control, included in all financing agreements, are outside the control of the Company) under one financing agreement may, pursuant to so-called 'cross acceleration' or 'cross default' provisions, additionally lead to defaults under other financing agreements (irrespective of the grant of any 'waivers' by other credit providers, in the case of a 'cross default' provision) and may thus lead to the mandatory early repayment by the Company of all such lines of credit.
The potential impact concerns any cancellation of loans and damaged trust between investors and bankers on noncompliance with contractual covenants. It is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for the activities of the Company.
The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios, are not met. This could lead to liquidity problems, in view of the similar character in the covenants of the financial institutions of the maximum debt ratio or interest coverage ratio of a cumulative nature and could force the Company to liquidate fixed assets (e.g., sale of real estate) or to implement a capital increase or other measures in order to bring the debt level below the required threshold. There is also a possibility that the regulator will impose sanctions or tighter supervision in the event of failure to comply with certain statutory financial parameters (e.g., compliance with the statutory debt ratio, as laid down in Article 13 of the RREC RD).
The consequences for the shareholders could include (i) a reduction in the equity and, therefore, the net asset value (NAV), because a sale must take place at a price below that book value and (ii) a dilution can take place because a capital increase will have to be organised and this will have an impact on the value of the shares and the future dividend prospects.
The Company intrinsically estimates the probability of this risk factor as average. The impact of the intrinsic risk is also estimated as average to high.
To mitigate these risks, the Company pursues a prudent financial policy with constant monitoring to meet the financial parameters of the covenants.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk and its control as described above, as average in terms of probability and average to high in terms of impact.
The Company's borrowing capacity is limited by the statutory maximum debt ratio of 65% which is permitted by the RREC Law. At the same time, thresholds have been set in the financing contracts concluded with financial institutions. The maximum debt ratio imposed by the financial institutions is 60% (see also 'T 4.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to noncompliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters' on page 210).
The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios included in covenants, are not met. On exceeding the statutory maximum threshold of 65%, the Company runs the risk of losing its RREC certificate through withdrawal by the FSMA.
In general, it is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for activities of the Company.
As at 31 December 2023, the consolidated debt ratio amounted to 46.65%, compared to 52.37% as at 31 December 2022. As at 31 December 2023, the Company has an additional debt capacity of €627.0 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65% and of €399.3 million before reaching a debt ratio of 60%.
The value of the real estate portfolio also has an impact on the debt ratio.
Taking account of the capital base as at 31 December 2023, the maximum debt ratio of 65% would be exceeded only with a potential fall in the value of the real estate portfolio of about €377.7 million, or 34.0% of the real estate portfolio of €994.5 million as at 31 December 2023. With a fall in the value of about €266.2 million, or 26.8% of the real estate portfolio, the debt ratio of 60% would be exceeded.
The Company does wish to note that it has contracted payment obligations for the unrealised part of the developments that it has already included in its balance sheet, representing €22.5 million. As a result, as at 31 December 2023, the available capacity on the debt ratio amounts to €376.8 million before reaching a debt ratio of 60% and €604.5 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65%.
The potential impact concerns the risk that statutory sanctions may be imposed if certain thresholds are exceeded (including a prohibition of payment of a dividend) or that a breach of certain conditions of the financing contracts is committed.
Like all public RRECS, Care Property Invest is subject to tighter supervision by the supervisory authority of compliance with these maximum debt levels.
The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low and the impact of the intrinsic risk as high.
In this case too, it pursues a prudent financial policy with continual monitoring of all planned investments and earnings forecasts, and the coordination of the possibility of a capital increase under the forms permitted by the RREC legislation in order to avoid any statutory sanctions for exceeding this maximum limit at all times.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk as described above, related to the risk of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low in terms of probability and high in terms of impact.
This risk can be described as the risk of unfavourable fluctuations in interest rates, an increased risk premium in the stock markets and/or an increase in the cost of the debts.
The potential impact concerns a material increase in the weighted average cost of the Company's capital (equity and debts) and an impact on the profitability of the business as a whole and of new
investments.
As at 31 December 2023, the fixed-interest and floating rate loans accounted for 25.07% and 74.93% of the total financial liabilities respectively. The percentage of floating-rate debt contracted that was converted into a fixed-rate instrument through a derivative instrument (relative to total financial liabilities) amounted to 69.25% as at 31 December 2023. The total hedge ratio thus amounted to 94.32%. As at 31 December 2022, it amounted to 69.42%.
Based on the outstanding credits as at 31 December 2023, if interest rates were to increase by 1%, the weighted average interest cost, including interest rate swaps, would increase from 3.15% to 3.21%. This would result in an increase in the cost of capital of 0.03%, assuming the cost of debt is included for 50% in the cost of capital and assuming no change in the cost of
equity.
A change in the interest curve of 1% (upward) would have an impact on the fair value of the credit portfolio of approximately €5.9 million. The conclusion relating to the impact of the change in the interest curve can be continued on a linear basis.

A 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would have a positive/negative impact on the global result statement via the variations in the fair value of financial assets/liabilities amounting to €0.675/ €-0.743 per share but a negative/positive impact on the distributable result and also on the global result due to the increase/ decrease of a part of the net interest costs exposed to the fluctuations in interest rates.
The increase in the required risk premium on the stock markets could result in a fall in the price of the share and make financing of new acquisitions more costly for the Company.
The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact of this risk as average.
With regard to the initial portfolio, Care Property Invest protects itself against interest rate rises through the use of fixed-interest contracts or swaps. For the initial portfolio (1), only the renewable loans at Belfius, amounting to €6,890,000, are subject to a limited interest risk, as these loans are subject to review every three years. For the new portfolio (2), the outstanding commercial paper of €39.0 million and various roll-over credits with various financial institutions with an outstanding amount of €329.5 million as at 31 December 2023 are subject to changes
in interest rates on the financial markets. Care Property Invest aims to hedge itself against fixed interest rates for at least 80% via swaps. In this way the Company wishes to anticipate the risk that the increase in interest rates will be primarily attributable to an increase in real interest rates.
There are also 8 loans with revisable interest for the new portfolio. Care Property Invest monitors movements in interest rates with close attention and will hedge itself against timely any excessively high increase in interest rates.
Further explanation on the credit lines are
provided in this chapter, with 'Note 5: Notes to the consolidated financial statements' on page 216, 'T 5.9 Net interest expense' on page 220, 'T 5.27 Financial liabilities' on page 235 and 'T 5.16 Financial fixed assets and other non-current financial liabilities' on page 227. If the increase in interest rates results from an increase in the level of inflation, the indexation of the rental income also serves as a tempering factor, albeit only after the indexation of the lease agreements can be implemented, so that there is a delaying effect here.
In general, Care Property Invest aims to build up a relationship of trust with its bank partners and investors and maintains a continual dialogue with them in order to develop a solid long-term relationship.
Nevertheless, the Company continues to
regard this risk as material.
This risk can be described as the risk of the use of derivatives to hedge the interest rate risk. The fair value of the derivative products is influenced by fluctuations in interest rates in the financial markets. The fair value of the derivative financial products amounted to €4,002,391 as at 31 December 2023, compared to €21,780,342 as at 31 December 2022. The variation in their fair value amounted to €17,777,951 as at 31 December 2023.
The potential impact concerns the complexity and volatility of the fair value of the hedging instruments and consequently, also the net asset value (NAV), as published under the IFRS standards and also the counter-party risk in relation to partners with which we contract derivative financial products. The decrease in the fair value of the authorised hedging instruments amounting to €17,777,951 represents a decrease in the net result and in the net asset value (NAV) of €0.48, without having an impact on the adjusted EPRA Earnings and, therefore, the capacity of the Company to pay its proposed dividend. An increase in market interest rates by 1% results in an increase in the fair value of the derivative financial products amounting to €24,972,194 or €0.675 per share and an increase in the net asset value (NAV) also amounting to €0.675 per share. A fall in market interest rates by 1% results in a diminution in the fair value amounting to €-27,472,320 or €-0.743 per share and a fall in the net asset value (NAV) per share amounting to the same amount.
The Company assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact intrinsically as average.
All derivative financial products are held solely for hedging purposes. No speculative instruments are held. All derivative financial products are interest rate swaps. Care Property Invest also works only with reputable financial institutions (Belfius Bank, KBC Bank, BNP Paribas Fortis, ABN AMRO and ING).
The Company conducts frequent talks with these financial institutions on the evolution of the interest rates and the impact on the existing derivative financial products. The Company also monitors the relevant interest
rates itself.
However, the current economic situation is causing increased volatility and pressure on interest rates so this monitoring becomes all the more important to counter volatility. In addition, it will not be certain that the Company will find the hedging instruments it wishes to enter into in the future, nor that the terms associated with the hedging instruments will be acceptable.
The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the mitigating factors and controlling the risk, as low in terms of probability and average in terms of impact.
(1) The initial portfolio relates to the finance leases (with as at 31/12/2023 a balance sheet value (finance lease receivables) of €156,518,610 and a generated rental flow of €17,000,894) that the Company entered into until 2014.
(2) The new portfolio as referred to here refers to the finance leases (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2023 of €10,186,663 and a generated rental flow of €815,674) and the investment properties, including assets held for sale (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2023 of €1,004,455,648 and a generated rental flow of €48,088,996), that the Company acquired after 2014.

Both the weighted average number of outstanding shares and the number of shares amounted to 27,741,625 as at 31 December 2022 and increased to 36,988,833 as at 31 December 2023. At neither date did the Company hold any treasury shares.
The number of shares changed following the realisation of a capital increase in cash on 24 January 2023, as a result of which 9,247,208 new shares were issued. As of this date, the Company's share capital amounts to €220,065,062 and is represented by a total of 36,988,833 fully paid-up shares.
The gross return is calculated in table 'T.5.1 Net result per share on a consolidated basis' by dividing the net result per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495) on the one hand and the market value on the closing date on the other hand. In table 'T.5.2 Components of the net result', the gross yield is calculated by dividing the adjusted EPRA earnings per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495), on the one hand, and the market capitalisation on the closing date, on the other. The share price was €14.26 as at 31 December 2023 and €15.76 as at 31 December 2022. There are no instruments that have a potentially dilutive effect on the net result per share.

| TOTAL | 65,905,564 | 54,378,866 |
The item 'Rental income and rental discounts for investment properties' concerns the income from I.C. Investment properties, accounted for in accordance with IAS 40. As at 31 December 2023, these accounted for 72.97% of the Company's total rental income.
The item ''Rental income from finance leases and similar' concerns the rental income from buildings, which the Company owns and which it receives as lessor and were recorded as rental income in the global result statement, as they relate to recurring income that the Company receives from its buildings(1).. This rental income relates on the one hand to the portfolio built up until 2014 with local PCSWs (public centre for social welfare -local governments) and non-profit organisations (initial portfolio(2)) and on the other hand to new leases entered into after 2014 (new portfolio(3)), all of which are generated by I.F. Finance lease receivables in the consolidated balance sheet. For the finance leases from the new portfolio, the ground rent payments are split between 'investment value' and 'income': the investment part is booked under I.F. Finance lease receivables in the balance sheet, the income part is booked under I. Rental income in the global result statement. As at 31 December 2023, the ground rent received by the Company from its finance leases represents 27.03% of the total rental income of the Company.
The 21.20% increase in rental income stems from (i) the indexation of the already existing leases (unchanged portfolio), which has been fully passed on and amounts to an average of 10.42% as at 31 December 2023, representing an amount of €5.0 million, (ii) the acquisition of new investment properties and (iii) the completion of development projects in 2023. Similarly, the acquired and completed investment properties during 2022 contribute to the increased rental income in 2023.

Future ground rents are at least equal to the contractually agreed ground rents for the entire duration of the project and do not take into account annual index adjustments. For the finance leases from the new portfolio, these also include the repayment of the investment, which at the time of receipt will be written off from I.F. Finance lease receivables in the balance sheet.

For additional explanations on the remuneration of the Directors and the Executive Committee, we refer to chapter 'II. Report of the Board of Directors' under point '11.11 Remuneration report 2023' on page 118.
The increase in the Company's general expenses can be largely attributed to the increase in remuneration and personnel-related costs due to the indexation as at 1 January 2023 and the increase in average workforce from 24.2 FTEs as at 31 December 2022 to 26.3 FTEs as at 31 December 2023. The remuneration of the CEO, CFO and COO under the item 'remuneration to directors, CEO and Executive Committee' was also subject to the indexation.
Furthermore, the increase is also explained by a higher amount of prospecting costs related to investment projects that definitively will not go ahead and were recorded in the result. In addition, the Company's growth also contributed to the increase in the Company's general expenses.
Care Property Invest has taken out a defined contribution type group insurance policy ('Defined Contribution Plan') for its permanent staff with Belfius Bank & Insurance. The contributions to this plan are entirely at the expense of Care Property Invest. In particular, no own contributions are paid by the employee. Belfius Bank has confirmed that as at 31 December 2023 the minimum return, including profit participation, has been achieved. In other words, no provision needs to be made.

Other operating costs consist mainly of the loss margin for projects allocated to the period. Of this, €2,266,632 can be attributed to the write-off of the outstanding trade receivable (unrealised capital gain) of a Belgian project (finance lease), after the Company was notified of the bankruptcy of the operator concerned. This is a non-cash item adjusted for the calculation of the adjusted EPRA earnings.
Other operating income consists of: (i) the project management fees, which relates to the recovery of the prefinancing costs of ongoing Dutch projects, (ii) the profit margin for the projects allocated to the period, of which €312,351 relates to the write-off of the outstanding trade receivable (reversal of commission cost) of a Belgian project ('finance lease'), after the Company was notified of the bankruptcy of the operator concerned and (iii) the other operating income which mainly relates to various project-related revenues.

The real estate experts value the Company's investment properties on its balance sheet on a quarterly basis in accordance with IAS 40. An administrative correction was made for rent-free periods awarded to operators of the real estate, as the real estate expert already takes account of the future cash flows (including rent discounts) and double counting would otherwise occur.
Although the Company has been very successful in passing on inflation to its tenants, variations in the fair value of investment properties amount to €-25,796,855 as at 31 December 2023 due to upward pressure on yields. Again, these are unrealised variations that are corrected in the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Interest costs have mainly increased as a result of sharply rising interest rates on the market. This is therefore reflected in the increase of the weighted average interest rate (including IRSs), which amounts to 3.15% as at 31 December 2023 compared to 2.14% as at 31 December 2022.
The average remaining duration of the loans is 5.42 years as at 31 December 2023.
The costs and revenues of financial instruments used for hedging purposes are interest flows paid or received by the Company in relation to derivatives that are presented and analysed in the notes to the liabilities in item 'T 5.16 Financial fixed assets and other non-current financial liabilities' on page 227.

Corporate income tax consists of the taxes payable on Care Property Invest's rejected expenses (as a RREC, it is taxed only on its rejected expenses, abnormally gratuitous benefits and secret commissions) and the tax on the profits of its consolidated subsidiaries in Belgium and abroad. Also in The Netherlands (FBI, except for Care Property Invest.NL10 BV (application filed but not yet formally confirmed and Care Property Invest.NL11 BV (no application filed)) and Spain (Socimi), the subsidiaries are subject to a favourable tax status (similar to the Belgian GVV/RREC status) which result in a tax rate of 0%.
The applicable Belgian corporate income tax rate is 25% for the 2022 and 2023 financial years.
The exit tax in 2022 mainly related to the exit tax payable following the silent merger of Apollo Lier nv with Care Property Invest, which took place on 29 November 2022.

Investment properties are recorded at fair value, using the fair value model, in accordance with the IAS 40 Standard. The fair value is supported by market data and is based on the valuation performed by an independent real estate expert with a relevant and recognised professional qualification who has recent experience in the location and nature of similar investment properties.
The portfolio was valued by Stadim, Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE as at 31 December 2023 for a fair value of €994.5 million (including the rights in rem which are also classified as investment properties in accordance with IFRS 16). The capitalisation rate applied to the contractual rents is on average 5.26% for 2023 compared to 5.03% for 2022.
The negative variation in the valuation of investment properties, is mainly due to the upward pressure on yields, notwithstanding the Company has been very successful in passing on inflation to its tenants.
The acquisitions and investments of the financial year are discussed in chapter 'II. Report of the Board of Directors' under '2. Important events' on page 62. For further explanation of the project developments, we also refer to chapter 'III. Real estate report' at point '3.2 Table summarising the projects under development' on page 151.
The investment property rights in rem concern leasehold agreements of the Company that are capitalised under the investment properties in accordance with IFRS 16. A leasehold obligation is also linked to this on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.
The fair value is determined using unobservable inputs, as a result of which the assets within the investment properties are considered to be 'level 3' on the fair value scale defined by IFRS 13. During the 2023 financial year there were no shifts between levels 1, 2 and 3. The evaluation methods are mentioned in chapter 'VII. Permanent document' under the point 'Valuation method' on page 265 of this annual financial report.
The main quantitative information on the valuation of the fair value of the investment properties based on unobservable data (level 3) and of those presented below are data from the reports of the independent real estate experts.

(1) Discounting of estimated cash flows
An occupancy rate of 100% is taken into account for the valuation of the buildings.
The differences between the minimum and maximum values are explained by the fact that the different parameters applied in the discounted cash flow method depend on the location of the assets, the quality of the building and the operator, the duration of the lease agreement, etc. Moreover, these unobservable data may be linked because they are partly determined by market conditions.
In accordance with the legal provisions, the buildings are valued at fair value on a quarterly basis by independent real estate experts appointed by the Company. These reports are based on information provided by the Company, such as contractual rents, tenancy contracts, investment budgets, etc. These data are derived from the Company's information system and are therefore subject to its internal control environment. Furthermore, the reports were based on assumptions and evaluation models developed by the independent experts based on their professional judgment and market knowledge.
The reports of the independent experts are checked by the Company's Executive Committee. If the Committee takes the view that the reports of the independent expert are coherent, they are submitted to the Board of Directors.
The sensitivity of the fair value to a variation in the principal unobservable data disclosed is generally presented (if all parameters remain the same) as the effect on decrease or increase, as shown below.
| Unobservable data | Fair value impact on decrease |
Fair value impact on increase |
|---|---|---|
| ERV (Estimated Rental Value) m2 | Negative | Positive |
| Inflation | Negative | Positive |
| Discount rate | Positive | Negative |
| Remaining duration (year) | Negative | Positive |
A 1% fluctuation in the value of the real estate portfolio (positive or negative) would have an impact of approximately 0.38% on the debt ratio. A 1% increase in the financial return would have a negative impact of 14.85% on the value of the investment properties.

The assets and liabilities at fair value through the result consist of hedging instruments that are not accounted for in accordance with hedging accounting in application of IFRS 9. The purpose of these instruments is to hedge the Company against interest rate risks. In order to hedge the risk of rising interest rates, the Company has opted for hedging instruments in which the debt at a variable interest rate is converted into a debt at a fixed interest rate ('cash flow hedge').
In accordance with IFRS 9, the fair value of financial instruments is included under the item financial assets (in case of a positive valuation) or under the item long-term financial liabilities (in case of a negative valuation). Changes in these fair values are accounted for via the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities in the global result statement (see note 'T 5.11 Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities' on page 221).
The financial instruments are considered to be 'level 2' on the fair value scale as defined by IFRS 13. All hedges are entered into within the framework of financial risk management as described under 'Note 4: Financial risk management' on page 210. The fair value of the instruments is calculated by the banks on the basis of the present value of the estimated future cash flows. In accordance with IFRS 13, an adjustment is made to the fair value to reflect the bank's own credit risk ('debit valuation adjustment' or 'DVA') and the counterparty's credit rating ('credit valuation adjustment' or 'CVA').
The following is an overview of the hedging instruments held by the Company as at 31 December 2023.

(1) Write-down reference amount over the life of the swap.
The fair value of the hedging instruments is subject to the evolution of interest rates on the financial markets. A change in the yield curve of 0.25% (more positive or negative) would have an impact on the fair value of the IRS's of approximately €6.5 million.

| TOTAL | 175,673,276 | 188,756,149 |
The balance of finance lease receivables and trade receivables consists of the investment cost of the building, included under the item 'Finance lease receivables', the profit or loss margin generated during the construction phase and its write-off in relation to the ground rent payments already received, included under the item 'Trade receivables and other non-current assets'.
These buildings, which are owned by the Company, generate rental income, as discussed under 'T 5.3 Rental income' on page 217(1).
Due to the bankruptcy of the operator of one of the lease projects, the Company is currently in full discussion with various parties to obtain a structural solution for this building. The book value of this building was therefore transferred to the item 'assets held for sale'.

| New portfolio | 10,186,663 | 20,499,475 |
| TOTAL | 166,705,273 | 177,018,085 |
In the total amount 'Finance lease receivables' at 31 December 2023, the amount of contractual prepayments of €36,090,772 relating to the initial portfolio has already been deducted.
The amounts mentioned correspond to the repayable nominal final building rights (i.e., the total investment cost less the contractual prepayments received).
Contrary to the projects in the initial portfolio(2), for the projects in the new portfolio(3) the ground rent, in addition to a return, also consists of a repayment of the investment value, as a result of which the amount of the receivable will gradually decrease over the duration of the leasehold agreement. For the initial portfolio, the final building right fees must be repaid after the 30-year building period. The average remaining term of the building rights of the projects was 10.74 years as at 31 December 2023.
(1) For a comprehensive legal analysis, see chapter 'II. Report of the Board of Directors' under '1. Strategy: Care building in complete confidence' on page 54.
(2) The initial portfolio concerns the finance leases (with as at 31/12/2023 a balance sheet value of €156,518,610 and a generated rental flow of €17,000,894) that the Company entered into until 2014.
(3) The new portfolio concerns the finance leases (with as at 31/12/2023 a balance sheet value of €10,186,663 and a generated rental flow of €815,674) that the Company entered into after 2014).

| Expiring > 5 years | 221,466,907 | 243,025,251 |
The gross investment in the lease is the aggregate of the minimum lease payments to be received, in this case the nominal value of the final building rights fee, the ground rent and the rent (excluding indexations).

| Fair value of finance lease receivables | 242,103,000 | 197,017,859 |
The fair value of finance leases has been calculated using an adjusted method since the second quarter of 2023.
The 'old' calculation method, in which the future cash flows were discounted using IRS interest rates prevailing on the closing date, depending on the remaining term of the underlying contract, plus a margin, used the initial cash flows (i.e. the contractual rent at the start of the contract without taking into account the indexations already passed on). Given the current macroeconomic environment of increased inflation, this led to an unjustifiably large decrease in the fair value of the finance leases. Consequently, if this method is retained, this no longer gives a true and fair view of the fair value of the finance leases, resulting in a too conservative representation of the EPRA NTA and EPRA LTV, among others.
For the above reasons, the Company had opted to use a reputable independent party, namely Cushman & Wakefield, to calculate the fair value from the second quarter of 2023 onwards, in order to obtain a market- based valuation of this portfolio. The fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows, taking into account historical indexations for the cash flows. As discount rate they exercise OLO interest rates prevailing on the closing date, depending on the remaining maturity of the underlying contract, increased by a margin. As at 31 December 2023, the weighted average OLO interest rate amounted to 2.68% and the weighted average risk margin was 1.04%. This results in an average value of €115,728 per assisted living apartment, which can still be considered conservative given that future indexations are not taken into account.
The fair value at 31 December 2023 calculated using the 'old' calculation method would amount to €191,754,926 or €91,661 per assisted living apartment taking into account a weighted average IRS interest rate of 2.48% and a weighted average risk margin of 1.04%.
A 1% increase in the OLO interest rate would have a negative impact of 7.19% on the fair value of finance leases.

The provision for doubtful debtors relates to a provision made in accordance with IFRS 9 in the context of future credit losses. This provision is based on a thorough analysis carried out on Care Property Invest's client portfolio, splitting it into three categories: the initial portfolio(1) made up of contracts with local authorities and the new portfolio(2) which can be split between SMEs and large companies. The entire portfolio of Care Property Invest falls under stage 1 whereby a provision has to be made for the expected loss in the next 12 months. Given the quality of the tenants on the one hand, and the low credit risk associated with finance lease receivables (due to the guarantees provided by the local authorities) on the other hand, the model of expected credit losses under IFRS 9 has no material impact on the Company. The very limited provision that has been made stems from the limited risk that can be attributed to the 3 categories of the portfolio.
The Board of Directors therefore assumes that the book value of the trade receivables approximates the fair value.

As at 31 December 2023, Care Property Invest has €477.5 million in loans taken out divided between non-current and current financial liabilities and which belong to the category 'financial liabilities measured at amortised cost' in accordance with the IFRS 9 standard. The loans were granted by 8 banks, being Belfius Bank, ING Bank, KBC Bank, BNP Paribas Fortis, Argenta, VDK Bank, CBC Banque and ABN-AMRO. These financial liabilities were fixed with a fixed interest rate or converted to a fixed interest rate by means of a swap transaction or with a revisable interest rate (every three or five years).
Current financial liabilities with credit institutions amounting to €352.8 million relate for €329.5 million to rollover credits, which can be rolled over upon the Company's unilateral request. The expiry dates of the relevant available lines are between 2025 and 2029. As at 31 December 2023, the Company had €145.5 million of undrawn credit lines. Taking into account 100% coverage of the outstanding amount of commercial paper (see below), the available amount of this amounted to € 106.5 million.

In addition to these credits, the Company also has an MTN programme (classified under 'Other') of €300 million as at 31 December 2023 with Belfius Bank and KBC Bank as dealers. This programme allows the Company to raise money in both the long (through the issuance of bonds) and short (through commercial paper) term. As required by the covenants, 100% of the outstanding commercial paper is covered by back-up lines and unused credit lines (see above). As at 31 December 2023, the amount already drawn consists of €39.0 million in commercial paper and €26.0 million in bonds. For an overview of the bonds under this MTN programme we refer to chapter 'IV. Care Property Invest on the Stock Market' point '3. Bonds and short-term debt securities' on page 165.
In 2021, €32.5 million of sustainability bonds were issued by the Company and this through a private placement with an institutional investor that is part of an international insurance group. The bonds, which were issued on 8 July 2021, have a term of 10 years and a coupon of 2.05%. On 10 March 2023, these bonds were repaid early. As compensation, an additional €30.5 million was drawn on the sustainable rollover credit with ABN-AMRO of €75 million, making full use of this line from then on. Withdrawals from this credit are only used to (re)finance eligible sustainable assets as included in the Care Property Invest Sustainable Finance Framework.
Both the Sustainable Finance Framework and the allocation of funds of the sustainable rollover credit to eligible sustainable assets can be consulted on the website of the Company www.carepropertyinvest.be. This allocation will also be included in the Company's 2023 Sustainability Report, which will also be published on the above website in the course of May 2024

The weighted average interest rate (incl. IRS) for the entire portfolio of financial debts amounts to 3.15% as at 31 December 2023. This is an increase compared to the weighted average interest rate of 2.14% as at 31 December 2022, which is due to a higher marginal interest rate that the Company has to pay on new debts it enters into given the current state of the financial markets.

For a number of investments, Care Property Invest does not maintain bare ownership of the land, but only usufruct through a long-term leasehold agreement. In practice, a liability has been created for this in accordance with IFRS 16. This obligation is included in the other non-current liabilities. The liability concerns the present value of all future lease payments. The discount rate used to determine this liability was based on a combination of the interest curve plus a spread based on the credit risk of Care Property Invest, both in line with the remaining term of the underlying right of use.
Lease commitments entered into with respect to company vehicles and bicycles are also reported under this heading.

For the Spanish subsidiaries, the Socimi statute (equivalent to the Belgian RREC statute) has been applied since the 2022 financial year. However, if real estate is sold, the portfolio result realised before 2022 can still be taxed according to the generally applicable tax system, as a result of which a deferred tax liability of €1,261,051 was provided for as a precaution. This will therefore only change in the future as a result of the sale of real estate and the realisation of a capital gain.
The provision for exit tax was created within the subsidiary Het Gehucht nv, following its acquisition by the group on 26 April 2023. It will become payable at the time of the merger with Care Property Invest.

An Alternative Performance Measures (APM) is a financial indicator, historical or forward-looking, of the performance, financial situation or cash flows of a company other than financial indicators defined or described by the applicable accounting standards in its financial reporting
Care Property Invest uses APMs in its financial communication within the meaning of the guidelines issued by the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) on 5 October 2015. A number of these APMs have been recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) and are discussed in the chapter 'V. EPRA' starting on 'V. EPRA' on page 170 of this Annual Financial Report. The APMs below have been determined by the Company itself in order to provide the reader with a better understanding of its results and performance.
Performance measures established by IFRS standards or by law are not considered as APMs, nor are they measures based on items in the global result statement or the balance sheet.
Definition: This is the operating result before the result on portfolio divided by the net rental result, whereby the operating result before the result on portfolio and the net rental result can be reconciled with global result statement.
Use: This indicator measures the profitability of the Company's leasing activities.

Definition: This is the financial result excluding changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities, being the sum of the items 'XX. Financial income', 'XXI. Net interest cost' and 'XXII. Other financial costs' of the global result statement.
Use: This indicator does not take into account the impact of financial assets and liabilities in the global result statement, thus reflecting the result from strategic operating activities.

| Financial result before changes in fair value of financial assets/ liabilities |
= A-B | -17,229,203 | -10,916,609 |
Definition: This is equity excluding the accumulated reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments (not subject to hedge accounting as defined under IFRS) and the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities, where the reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments is included in item 'C'. Reserves' of the consolidated balance sheet and changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities can be reconciled with item 'XXIII. Changes in fair value of financial assets/ liabilities in the global result statement.

In the context of the statutory audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements) of Care Property Invest nv (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group"), we report to you as statutory auditor. This report includes our opinion on the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of overall result, the statement of changes in consolidated equity and the cash flow table for the year ended 31 December 2023 and the disclosures including material accounting policy information (all elements together the "Consolidated Financial Statements") as well as our report on other legal and regulatory requirements. These two reports are considered one report and are inseparable.
We have been appointed as statutory auditor by the shareholders' meeting of 25 May 2022, in accordance with the proposition by the Board of Directors following recommendation of the Audit Committee. Our mandate expires at the shareholders' meeting that will deliberate on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024. We
performed the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group during 5 consecutive years.
We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Care Property Invest nv, that comprise of the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of overall result, the statement of changes in consolidated equity and the cash flow table for the year ended 31 December 2023 and the disclosures, including material accounting policy information, which show a consolidated balance sheet total of € 1.219.909.858 and of which the consolidated income statement shows a loss for the year of € 5.757.814.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated net equity and financial position as at 31 December 2023, and of its consolidated results for the year then ended, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS') and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ('ISA's') applicable in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the ISA's approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ('IAASB') that apply at the current year-end date and have not yet been approved at national level. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report.
We have complied with all ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium, including those with respect to independence.
We have obtained from the Board of Directors and the officials of the Company the explanations and information necessary for the performance of our audit and we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current reporting period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and consequently we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Investment property represents 80% of the assets of the Group. As at 31 December 2023, the investment properties on the assets of the balance sheet amount to € 994.464.892.
In accordance with the accounting policies and IAS 40 standard "Investment property", investment property is valued at fair value, and the changes in the fair value of investment property are recognized in the income statement.
The fair value of investment properties belongs to the level 3 of the fair value hierarchy defined within the IFRS 13 standard "Fair Value Measurement" since some parameters used for valuation purposes are based on only limited observable data (discount rate, future occupancy rate, …).
The audit risk appears in the valuation of these investment
properties.
The Group uses external experts to make an estimate of the fair value of its buildings. We have assessed the valuation reports of the external experts (with the support of our internal valuation
experts).
Finally, we have assessed the appropriateness of the information on the fair value of the investment properties disclosed in note 5.14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium and for such internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
As part of the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and provide, if applicable, information on matters impacting going concern. The Board of Directors should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease business operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA's will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
In performing our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework that applies to the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium. However, a statutory audit does not provide assurance about the future viability of the Company and the Group, nor about the efficiency or effectiveness with which the board of directors has taken or will undertake the Company's and the Group's business operations. Our responsibilities with regards to the going concern assumption used by the board of directors are described below.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA's, we exercise professional judgment and we maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:
• conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the goingconcern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether or not a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's or Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going-concern;
• evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and evaluating whether the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events.
We communicate with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the audits of the subsidiaries. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for
group entities.
We provide the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report, unless the law or regulations prohibit this.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report.
In the context of our mandate and in accordance with the additional standard to the ISA's applicable in Belgium, it is our responsibility to verify, in all material respects, the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report, as well as to report on these matters.
In our opinion, after carrying out specific procedures on the Board of Directors' report, the Board of Directors' report is consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with article 3:32 of the Code of companies and associations.
In the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are also responsible to consider whether, based on the information that we became aware of during the performance of our audit, the Board of Directors' report and other information included in the annual report, being:
• EPRA (chapter 5)
contain any material inconsistencies or contains information that is inaccurate or otherwise misleading. In light of the work performed, there are no material inconsistencies to be reported.
Our audit firm and our network have not performed any services that are not compatible with the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and have remained independent of the Company during the course of our mandate.
The fees related to additional services which are compatible with the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as referred to in article 3:65 of the Code of companies and associations were duly itemized and valued in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In accordance with the standard on the audit of the conformity of the financial statements with the European single electronic format (hereinafter 'ESEF'), we have carried out the audit of the compliance of the ESEF format with the regulatory technical standards set by the European Delegated Regulation No 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereinafter: "Delegated Regulation").
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation, in accordance with the ESEF requirements, of the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format (hereinafter 'the digital consolidated financial statements') included in the annual financial report available on the portal of the FSMA (https:// www.fsma.be/en/data-portal).
It is our responsibility to obtain sufficient and appropriate supporting evidence to conclude that the format and markup language of the digital consolidated financial statements comply in all material respects with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
Based on the work performed by us, we conclude that the format and tagging of information in the digital consolidated financial statements of Care Property Invest nv per 31 December 2023 included in the annual financial report available on the portal of the FSMA (https://www.fsma.be/en/data-portal) are, in all material respects, in accordance with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.
Due to the technical limitations inherent in the tagging of consolidated financial statements using the ESEF format, it is possible that the content of certain tags in the accompanying notes is not reproduced in an identical manner as in the consolidated financial statements attached to this report.
This report is consistent with our supplementary declaration to the Audit Committee as specified in article 11 of the regulation (EU) nr. 537/2014.

At the end of each financial year, the Board of Directors prepares an inventory and the financial statements.

This report contains a commentary on the financial statements, which includes a fair overview of the state of affairs and the position of the Company. This report also contains the information required by the BCCA, including a Corporate Governance Declaration, which forms a specific part thereof. This Corporate Governance Declaration also contains the Remuneration Report, which forms a specific part thereof.
In view of the Annual General Meeting, the statutory auditor prepares a written and detailed report, i.e., the Audit Report.
As soon as the notice of the Meeting has been published, the shareholders may take note of the financial statements and other documents referred to in the BCCA.
In accordance with Article 32 of the coordinated Articles of Association, the ordinary general meeting is convened on the last Wednesday of May.
In accordance with Article 29 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of 25 May 2022 appointed the limited liability company EY Bedrijfsrevisoren, with registered office at 1831 Diegem, Kouterveldstraat 7 b 001, company number 0446.334.711, RPR Brussels and membership no. B160, as statutory auditor for a period of three years. This company has appointed Mrs Christel Weymeersch, company auditor, as representative authorised to represent the Company and charged with the execution of the mandate in the name and on behalf of EY Bedrijfsrevisoren. The mandate expires after the general meeting of shareholders that must approve the financial statements as at 31 December 2024.
The Board of Directors uses an external consultant for the internal audit function within the meaning of Article 17§3 of the RREC Law. Until 31 January 2023, this mandate was observed by Mazars Advisory. Since 1 February 2023, BDO Advisory bv/srl has assumed this mandate.
Pursuant to the RREC Law and RREC Decree, the Company's real estate must be valued by a recognised, independent real estate expert. This expert must determine the 'fair value' of the buildings, which is included in the financial statements of the Company.
For this purpose, the Company calls upon (i) Stadim bv, with registered office at 2018 Antwerp, Mechelsesteenweg 180, (ii) Cushman & Wakefield nv, with registered office at 1000 Brussels, Kunstlaan 56 and (iii) CBRE Unlimited Company with registered office at Connaught House, Number One Burlington Road, Dublin 4, Ireland. The respective agreements were concluded for a renewable term of 3 years. The current term for Stadim bv expires on 31 December 2025, that for Cushman & Wakefield on 31 March 2026 and that for CBRE on 31 March 2025. The fee of both real estate experts is independent of the fair value of the real estate to be valued.
The following approach is used for the purpose of the appraisal:
• A detailed update of the financial flows based on explicit assumptions of future developments of this revenue and the final value. In this case, the discount rate takes into account the financial interest rates in the capital markets, plus a specific risk premium for real estate investments. Interest rate fluctuations and inflation prospects will be taken into account in the evaluation, in a conservative manner.
• These evaluations are also assessed in terms of the unit prices quoted on the sale of similar buildings, after which a correction will be applied to take account of any differences between these reference properties and the properties in question.
• The development projects (construction, renovation or extension work) are valued by deducting the costs of the project on completion from its estimated value, as determined by applying the above estimates. The costs of the study phase of the construction, renovation or extension works are stated at the acquisition cost.
Care Property Invest has entered into financial service agreements with the following banks:

The capital amounts to two hundred and twenty million sixty-five thousand sixty-two euros five eurocents (€220,065,062.05).
The capital is represented by thirty-six million nine hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and thirty-three (36,988,833) shares without par value. All shares must be fully paid up from the subscription date.
The Board of Directors is authorised, on dates and at conditions at its discretion, in one or more tranches, to increase the share capital by a maximum amount
of:
1) 50% of the amount of the capital on date of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023, or, if the required attendance quorum would not be reached at the first extraordinary general meeting, 26 April 2023], as the case may be, rounded down to the euro cent, for capital increases by way of cash contributions where provision is made for the possibility of exercising the legal preferential subscription right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders,
2) 20% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023 or, if the required attendance quorum would not be achieved at the first extraordinary general meeting,
26 April 2023], rounded down to the euro cent, if applicable, for capital increases in the context of the distribution of an optional dividend, and 3) 10% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023 or, if the required attendance quorum would not have been reached at the first extraordinary general meeting, 26 April 2023], rounded down to the euro cent, if applicable, for a. capital increases by way of contribution in kind, b. capital increases by way of contribution in cash without the possibility of exercising the preferential right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders, or c. any other form of capital increase, it being understood that, within the framework of the authorised capital, the capital can never be increased by an amount higher than the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting that approved the authorisation (in other words, the sum total of the capital increases with application of proposed authorisations cannot exceed the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary
general meeting that approved the authorisation). This authorisation is valid for a period of two years from the publication of the resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023 or, if the required attendance quorum would not be reached at the first extraordinary general meeting, 26 April 2023] in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette.
It is renewable.
This/these capital increase(s) may be carried out in any manner permitted under the applicable regulations, including by contributions in cash, by contributions in kind or as a mixed contribution, or
by the conversion of reserves, including retained earnings and share premiums as well as all private assets under the statutory IFRS financial statements of the company (prepared under the regulations applicable to regulated real estate companies) that are amenable to conversion into capital, and with or without the creation of new securities, in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, the regulations applicable to regulated real estate companies and to these articles of association. The Board of Directors may issue new shares with the same rights as the existing shares for that purpose. The share premiums, less any deduction of an amount no more than that equal to the costs of the capital increase within the meaning of the applicable IFRS rules, in the event of a capital increase decided by the Board of Directors, must be placed by the Board of Directors in one or more separate accounts under equity on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. The board of directors may freely decide to place any issue premiums, possibly after deduction of an amount maximum equal to the cost of the capital increase within the meaning of the applicable IFRS rules, in an non-available account that shall constitute the surety for third parties on the same basis as the capital and which in no case may be reduced or eliminated other than by a decision of the General Meeting deciding as for an amendment of the articles of association, except for the conversion into capital as provided above. If the capital increase is accompanied by an issue premium, only the amount of the capital increase is deducted from the remaining usable amount of the authorised capital.
Under the conditions and within the limits provided in this article, the Board of Directors may also issue subscription rights (whether or not attached to another security) and convertible bonds or bonds redeemable in shares, which may give rise to the creation of the same securities as referred to in the fourth paragraph, and always in compliance with the applicable regulations and these articles of association.
Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the Board of Directors may restrict or cancel the preferential right in the cases and subject to compliance with the conditions stipulated in the applicable regulations, even if this is done in favour of one or more specific persons other than employees of the company or its subsidiaries.
If applicable, the irrevocable allocation right must at least comply with the modalities shown in the applicable regulations on regulated real estate companies and article 8.1 of these articles of association. Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the aforementioned restrictions in connection with the cancellation or restriction of the preferential right are not applicable in the case of a cash contribution with restriction or cancellation of the preferential right, which is made to supplement a contribution in kind for the purpose of distributing an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders. Upon the issue of securities for contributions
in kind, the conditions set out in the applicable
regulations on regulated real estate companies and article 8.2 of the articles of association must be complied with (including the ability to deduct an amount equal to the portion of the undistributed gross dividend). However, the special rules set out under article 8.2 regarding the capital increase in kind shall not apply to the contribution of the right to dividend for the purposes of the payment of an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders.
Notwithstanding the option of using the authorised capital by means of a resolution of the Board of Directors, and with due regard to the legislation applicable to regulated real estate companies, a capital increase or capital reduction may only be decided by an extraordinary General Meeting in the presence of a notary public and in accordance with the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations and the RREC legislation.
The company is prohibited from directly or indirectly subscribing to its own capital increase. On the occasion of each capital increase, the Board of Directors shall determine the price, the issue premium, if any, and the terms and conditions of the issue of new shares, unless the General Meeting decides otherwise itself.
If the General Meeting decides to request an issue premium, this must be placed in one or more separate accounts under equity on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. The board of directors may freely decide to place any issue premiums, possibly after deduction of an amount maximum equal to the cost of the capital increase within the meaning of the applicable IFRS rules, in an non-available account that shall constitute the guarantee of third parties in the same way as the capital and which may not be reduced or eliminated in any case other than by a decision of the General Meeting deciding as for an amendment of the articles of association, except for the conversion into capital as provided above.
In the event of a reduction in the issued capital, shareholders must be treated equally in equivalent circumstances, and the other rules contained in the mandatory provisions of the applicable regulations must be complied with.
In the case of a capital increase by contribution in cash and without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the preferential right may be restricted or cancelled in the cases and subject to compliance with the conditions stipulated in the applicable regulations.
If applicable, the irrevocable allocation right must at least meet the following conditions:
it must relate to all newly issued securities;
it must be granted to the shareholders pro rata to the portion of the capital that is represented by their shares at the time of the transaction;
a maximum price for each share must be announced no later than the eve of the opening of the public subscription period; and
the public subscription period must in such case
be at least three trading days. However, according to the RREC legislation, this should in any event not be granted in the case of a capital increase by contribution in cash carried out under the following conditions:
the capital increase shall take place using the authorised capital;
the cumulative amount of capital increases carried out in accordance with this paragraph over a period of twelve (12) months shall not exceed 10% of the amount of the capital at the time of the decision to increase the capital.
Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the aforementioned restrictions in connection with the capital increase in cash shall also not apply in the case of a cash contribution with restriction or cancellation of the preferential right, which is made to supplement a contribution in kind for the purpose of distributing an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders.
The following conditions must be fulfilled upon the issue of securities against contribution in kind, without prejudice to articles 7:196 and 7:197 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations:
the identity of the contributor must be stated in the report of the Board of Directors referred to in article 7:197 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations and, where appropriate, in the notice convening the General Meeting for the purpose of the capital increase;
the issue price shall not be less than the lower of (a) a net value per share, which dates back more than four months before the date of the contribution agreement or, at the option of the company, prior to the date of the deed of capital increase, and (b) the average closing price of the thirty calendar days prior to that date;
unless the issue price or, in the case referred to in article 8.3, the exchange ratio, and the relevant conditions are determined no later than the working day following the conclusion of the contribution agreement and communicated to the public, specifying the period within which the capital increase will be effectively implemented, the deed of capital increase will be executed within a maximum period of four months; and
the report envisaged in point 1 above must also explain the impact of the proposed contribution on the situation of former shareholders, in particular
as regards their share in the profits, the net value per share and in the capital, as well as the impact in terms of voting rights.
For the purposes of point 2 above, it is permitted to deduct from the amount referred to in paragraph (b) of point 2, an amount equal to the portion of the undistributed gross dividend to which the new shares would eventually not give any rights. In such case, the Board of Directors shall specifically account for the deducted dividend amount in its special report and explain the financial conditions of the transaction in its annual financial report. The special rules set out under this article 8.2 regarding the capital increase in kind shall not apply to the contribution of the right to dividend for the purposes of the payment of an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders.
The special rules concerning the capital increase in kind as set out under article 8.2, shall apply mutatis mutandis to mergers, demergers and similar transactions as referred to in the Belgian Code for

The number of dematerialised shares in circulation at any time will be registered in the register of registered shares in the name of the settlement institution.
A register is maintained for registered shares at the registered office of the company. This register of the registered shares may be kept in electronic form. Each holder of securities may inspect the register with respect to his or her securities.
The company may, with the exception of profitsharing certificates and similar securities and provided it is in compliance with the regulations applicable to regulated real estate companies, issue any securities that are not prohibited by or by virtue of the law, in accordance with the rules as prescribed therein and the legislation applicable to regulated real estate companies and the articles of association. These securities are registered or dematerialised.
The shares are indivisible with respect to the company. If a share belongs to several people or the rights attached to a share are divided among several people, the Board of Directors may suspend the exercise of the rights attached thereto until one person has been designated as a shareholder vis-àvis the company.
If a share is encumbered with usufruct, then the voting rights connected to that share shall be exercised by the usufructuary, unless otherwise agreed with the bare owner.
The company may buy back its own shares or accept them in pledge, in compliance with the conditions provided for in the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations.
Pursuant to the decision of the extraordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2020, the Board of Directors is authorised to acquire its own shares, or to take them into pledge, with a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares issued, for a unit price that may not be less than ninety per cent (90%) of the average price of shares listed on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels in the past thirty (30) days, nor higher than one hundred and ten per cent (110%) of the average price of shares listed on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels in the past thirty (30) days, or a maximum increase or fall of ten per cent (10%) in relation to the

A shareholder may only participate in the General Meeting and exercise voting rights on the basis of the administrative registration of the shares of the shareholder on the registration date, either by registration in the register of registered shares of the company, or by their registration in the accounts of a recognised account holder or a clearing institution, irrespective of the number of shares held by the shareholder at the General Meeting. The fourteenth day before the General Meeting, at midnight (Belgian time), counts as the registration date.
Holders of dematerialised shares who wish to attend the meeting must submit a certificate issued by a recognised account holder or the clearing institution and confirming, as appropriate, how many dematerialised shares are registered in the name of the shareholder on the record date and for which the shareholder has indicated that he or she intends to participate in the General Meeting. Such submission shall be made no later than the sixth day preceding the date of the General Meeting, via the e-mail address of the company or via the e-mail address specifically mentioned in the convocation notice, at the registered office or by post.
The owners of registered shares who wish to participate in the meeting, must inform the company no later than six days before the date of the meeting of their intention to participate in the meeting, via the e-mail address of the company or via the e-mail address specifically mentioned in the convocation notice, by post or, as the case may be, by sending a proxy.
The Board of Directors shall keep a register of each shareholder who has indicated he or she wishes to participate in the General Meeting, which will list
his or her name and address or registered office, the number of shares in his or her possession on the registration date and with which he or she indicated they will participate in the General Meeting, and a description of the documents showing that he or she held the relevant shares on the registration date. In cases where the invitation of meeting expressly so provides, shareholders may be granted the right to participate remotely in a general meeting by means of an electronic device of communication provided by the company. This electronic device of communication must enable the shareholder to take note directly, simultaneously and continuously of the discussions at the meeting and to exercise the voting right in respect of all items on which the meeting is required to decide. If the notice expressly so provides, this electronic device of communication will also enable the shareholder to participate in the deliberations and to exercise his right to ask questions. If the right to participate remotely in a general meeting is granted, either the convocation or a document consultable by the shareholder to which the convocation refers (such as, for example, the company's website) shall also determine the manner(s) in which the company will verify and guarantee the status of shareholder and the identity of the person who wishes to participate in the meeting, as well as the manner(s) in which it will establish that a shareholder participates in the general meeting and will be considered present. In order to ensure the security of the electronic device of communication, the notice (or the document to which the notice refers) may also impose additional
conditions.
Each shareholder may appoint a proxy to represent him or her at the General Meeting in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations. The proxy does not
have to be a shareholder.
A shareholder of the company may appoint only one person as a proxy at each General Meeting. Any deviation from this rule is only possible in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations.
A person who acts as a proxy holder may hold a proxy of more than one shareholder. Where a proxy holder holds proxies of several shareholders, he or she may vote differently for one shareholder than
for another shareholder.
The appointment of a proxy holder by a shareholder takes place in writing or through an electronic form and must be signed by the shareholder, in such case by an advanced electronic signature within the meaning of article 4, §4 of the Act of 9 July 2001 concerning the establishment of rules relating to the legal framework for electronic signatures and certification services, or by an electronic signature which meets the requirements of article 1322 of the Belgian Civil Code.
The notification of the proxy to the company must be made via the company's e-mail address or via the e-mail address specifically mentioned in the convocation notice, at the registered office or by post.
The company must receive the proxies by the sixth day before the date of the General Meeting at the latest.
Notwithstanding the possibility to deviate from the instructions in certain circumstances in accordance with article 7:145, second paragraph of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, the proxy holder shall cast votes in accordance with any instructions of the shareholder who appointed him or her. The proxy holder shall keep a record of the voting instructions for at least one year and confirm that he or she has complied with the voting instructions at the request of the shareholder. In the case of a potential conflict of interest, as defined in article 7:143, §4 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, between the shareholder and the proxy holder he or she has designated, the proxy holder must disclose the specific facts that are relevant for the shareholders in order to assess whether there is any risk that the proxy holder might pursue another interest than the interest of the shareholder. In addition, the proxy holder may only vote on behalf of the shareholder, provided that he or she has received specific voting instructions for each item on the agenda.
If several persons hold rights in rem in respect of the same share, the company may suspend the exercise of the voting rights attached to that share until one person has been designated as the holder of the voting rights.
Every General Meeting is chaired by the chairman of the Board of Directors or, in his or her absence, by the oldest director present.
The chairman appoints a secretary and two scrutineers, who need not be shareholders. One person may be both secretary and scrutineer. The chairman, the secretary and the scrutineers together form the bureau, which is completed by the other members of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors may, at any General Meeting, during the session, postpone the decision regarding the approval of the financial statements for five weeks.
This postponement does not affect the other decisions taken, unless otherwise decided by the General Meeting in this regard. The next meeting has the right to determine the final financial statements.
The Board of Directors also has the right to postpone any other General Meeting or any other item on the agenda of the annual meeting during the session by five weeks, unless the meeting was convened at the request of one or more shareholders representing at least one fifth of the capital or by the statutory auditor(s).
Every share confers the right to one vote, subject to the cases of suspension of voting rights provided for in the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations or any other applicable law.
An attendance list which displays the name of the shareholders and the number of shares they represent at the meeting, shall be signed by each of the shareholders or by their proxy before the meeting is opened.
The General Meeting may not deliberate or decide on items not listed on the agenda unless all shareholders are present or represented at the meeting and they unanimously decide to extend the agenda.
The required approval is certain if no opposition is noted in the minutes of the meeting.
The aforementioned shall not affect the possibility of one or more shareholders jointly holding at least 3% of the share capital, and provided that the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations are met, to have items placed on the agenda to be discussed at the General Meeting and to submit proposals for resolutions relevant to the agenda or to include items to be discussed, until at the latest the twenty-second day before the date of the General Meeting. This does not apply if a General Meeting is convened by a new convocation notice because the required quorum was not reached with the first convocation, provided that the first convocation was in compliance with the legal requirements, the date of the second meeting was mentioned in the first convocation notice and no new items are put on the agenda.

The Board of Directors shall answer the questions raised, during the meeting or in writing, regarding their report or regarding the agenda items, to the extent that sharing the details or facts is not of a nature to be potentially detrimental to the company's business interests or to the confidentiality to which the company or its directors have committed to.
The statutory auditors shall answer the questions raised, during the meeting or in writing, regarding their report, to the extent sharing the details or facts is not of a nature to be potentially detrimental to the company's business interests or to the confidentiality to which the company, its directors or the statutory auditors have committed to. They are entitled to address the General Meeting regarding fulfilment of their task.

Moreover, an amendment of the articles of association is only adopted if it was previously approved by the FSMA and if three quarters of the votes attached to the present or represented shares are acquired (or any other special majority stipulated in the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations), with abstentions not being taken into account either in the numerator or in the
denominator.

In the event of the dissolution of the company, for any reason or at any time, the liquidation will be performed by liquidators appointed by the General Meeting. If the statement of assets and liabilities drawn up in accordance with the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations shows that not all creditors can be repaid in full, the appointment of the liquidators in the articles of association or by the General Meeting must be submitted to the President of the Court for confirmation. However, this confirmation is not required if that statement of assets and liabilities shows that the company only has debts towards its shareholders and all shareholders who are creditors of the company confirm in writing that they agree to the appointment.
The liquidators shall take up their mandate only after the competent commercial court has confirmed their appointment following the decision of the General Meeting.
Unless decided otherwise, the liquidators shall act jointly. To this end, the liquidators shall have the broadest powers in accordance with articles 2:87 et seq. of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, subject to limitations imposed by the General Meeting.

The nullity of one article or part of an article of these articles of association will not affect the validity of the other (parts of) clauses in these articles of
association.
The public regulated real estate company (RREC) was established by the RREC Law of 12 May 2014 as last amended by the Law of 28 April 2020. The RREC Law defines the RREC as a company that (i) is established for an indefinite period, (ii) performs the activity referred to in Article 4 or Article 76/5 of the RREC Law (see below) and (iii) is licensed as such by the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA). The public RREC is an RREC, the shares of which are admitted for trading on a regulated market and which raises its financial resources in Belgium or elsewhere through a public offering of shares. A public RREC is therefore a listed company, subject to the requirement that at least 30% of its marketable shares should be issued to the public (free float).
According to the RREC Law, a public RREC carries on a business consisting of:
(a) making real estate available to users directly or via a company in which it holds a participation, in compliance with the provisions of the Law and decrees and regulations issued for the implementation of the Law; and
(b) property ownership, within the limits of Article 7, 1, b of the RREC Law, as referred to in Article 2(5°) (vi) to (xi) of the RREC Law;
(c) concluding or joining one or more of the following long-term contracts with a public client, directly or via a company in which it has a shareholding in compliance with the provisions of the legislation on the public regulated real estate company (public RREC) (SIR/GVV), possibly in collaboration with third parties: (i) Design, Build, Finance (DBF) contracts; (ii) Design, Build, (Finance) and Maintain (DB(F)M) contracts; (iii) Design, Build, Finance, (Maintain) and Operate (DBF(M)O) contracts; and/or (iv) contracts for concessions for public work relating to buildings and/or other infrastructure of an immovable nature and services relating to this, on the basis of which: (i) it guarantees the provision, maintenance and/or operation for a public entity and/or citizens as end-users, in order to meet a social need and/or to facilitate the provision of a public service; and (ii) for which it is able to bear the associated financing, availability, demand and/or operating risk, partially or in full, in addition to any construction risk, without necessarily holding rights in rem in that regard.
(d) developing, providing for the development, establishing, providing for the establishment, managing, providing for the management, operating, providing for the operation of or making available one or more of the following in the long term, directly or via a company in which it has a shareholding in compliance with the provisions of the legislation on the public RREC (SIR/GVV), possibly in collaboration with third parties: (i) utilities and storage locations for transportation, distribution
or storage of electricity, gas, fossil or nonfossil fuels and green energy in general and the related goods; (ii) utilities for transportation, distribution, storage or treatment of water and the related goods; (iii) installations for the generation storage and transportation of energy, renewable and/or green or otherwise, and the related goods; or (iv) waste and incineration installations and the related goods.
Real estate refers to 'real estate' within the meaning of the RREC legislation.
In the context of the provision of real estate, the Company may perform all activities relating to the construction, refurbishment, renovation, development (for its own portfolio), acquisition, disposal, management and operation of real estate.
RRECs are subject to the supervision of the FSMA and must comply with extremely strict rules regarding conflicts of interest.
From its formation until 25 November 2014, Care Property Invest held the status of a property investment fund with fixed capital (BEVAK/sicafi). On 25 November 2014, the Company acquired the status of a public RREC.
The public RREC must carry on the activities mentioned above.
In the context of the provision of real estate, a public RREC may perform all activities relating to the construction, refurbishment, renovation, development (for its own portfolio), acquisition, disposal, management and operation of real estate (Article 4, §1 of the RREC Law). A public RREC pursues a strategy that serves to maintain long-term ownership of its real estate and, in the performance of its activities, focuses on active management, which implies in particular that it takes responsibility itself for the development and day-to-day management of the real estate, and that all other activities that it performs have added value for that real estate or its users, such as the provision of services that are complementary to the provision of the relevant properties. To this end: (i) the public RREC performs
its activities itself, without delegating such performance to a third party, other than to an affiliated company, (ii) it maintains direct relationships with its clients and suppliers, and (iii) it has operational teams at its disposal which constitute a significant part of its workforce. In other words, a public RREC is an operational and commercial real estate company.
It may own the following types of real estate (as defined by the RREC Law):
The real estate referred to in (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (xi) that concerns participation rights in an alternative investment institution as referred to in Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No. 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies and (EU) No. 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority), amending Decision No. 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/77/EC, cannot
qualify as shares with voting rights issued by real estate companies, regardless of the amount of the shareholding held directly or indirectly by the public RREC (SIR/GVV).
A public RREC may not invest more than 20% of its consolidated assets in real estate which constitutes a single property (same rule as that applying to property investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi) and may not hold 'other property' (as referred to in paragraphs vi to xi) or option rights for such assets, other than in as far as the fair value of these does not exceed 20% of its consolidated assets.
The Company's business consists of the provision of real estate to users (in particular all forms of housing covered by the Residential Care Decree plus accommodation for the disabled) and the active development and management of its real estate. The added value that Care Property Invest provides here consists in offering customised real estate solutions, in which the properties are adapted to the specific needs of users. Care Property Invest develops, renovates or extends real estate for this purpose. Care Property Invest wishes to continue deploying its expertise and know-how accumulated in the realisation of 2,000 (subsidised) service flats in order to realise projects provided for in the Residential Care Decree in the future. This includes nursing homes, short-stay centres, day care centres, service centres, groups of assisted living residences, as well as all residential facilities for people with disabilities.
In order to acquire and maintain the status of a public RREC and the fiscal transparency regime provided for this Company (see below), the Company is subject to, inter alia, the following obligations;
Distribution obligation (the 'pay-out ratio'): the public RREC must (if it makes a profit) pay out at least the positive difference between the following amounts as return on capital: 1°) 80% of the amount equal to the sum of the adjusted result and the net gain on disposal of property that is not exempt from mandatory payouts 2°) the net reduction of the debt during the financial year.
Limit on the debt ratio: the consolidated debt ratio of the public RREC and its subsidiaries and the corporate debt ratio of the public RREC must not exceed 65% of the consolidated or corporate assets, as the case may be, less the permitted hedging instruments unless this is because of a change in the fair value of the assets; if the consolidated debt ratio of the public RREC and its subsidiaries exceeds 50% of the consolidated assets less the permitted hedging instruments, the public RREC should draw up a financial plan together with an implementation timetable, with a description of the measures that will be taken to prevent the consolidated debt ratio from exceeding 65% of the consolidated assets.
Diversification of real estate: the assets of the public RREC must be diversified in such a way as to ensure an appropriate spread of the risks in terms of real estate, by geographical region and by category of user or lessee; no operation performed by the public RREC may result in more than 20% of its consolidated assets being invested in real estate that constitutes a 'single real estate entity' (subject to the exceptions permitted by the FSMA and to the extent that the consolidated debt ratio of the public RREC and its subsidiaries does not exceed 33% of the consolidated assets less the permitted hedging instruments).
Risk management: the Company must, as a public RREC, have an appropriate risk management function and appropriate risk management policy. It may only subscribe to hedging instruments (excepting any transactions of a speculative nature) if the Articles of Association allow for this and if these form part of a policy intended to cover financial risks. This policy must be published in the annual and half-yearly reports.
Management structure and organisation: the Company must, as a public RREC, have its own management structure and suitable administrative, accounting, financial and technical organisation, enabling it to carry out its activities in accordance with the RREC regulations, an appropriate internal control system, an appropriate independent internal audit function, an appropriate independent compliance function and an appropriate integrity policy.
The taxable basis of the RREC is limited to non-deductible professional expenses, unusual or gratuitous advantages and a special assessment on 'secret commissions' on expenses that are not properly accounted for. The RREC may not apply the venture capital deduction or the reduced corporation tax rates.
If an RREC participates in a merger, demerger or a similar transaction, that transaction will not qualify for the fiscal neutrality regime but will give rise to the application of the exit tax, as was the case for real estate investment trusts. The rate of the exit tax is currently 15%.
The RREC is subject to the 'subscription fee' in Articles 161 and 162 of the Inheritance Tax Code.
The following paragraphs summarise certain effects of the ownership and transfer of shares in an RREC under Belgian tax law. This summary is based on the tax laws, regulations and administrative commentaries applicable in Belgium on the date of preparation of
this document, and is included subject to changes in Belgian law, including changes with retroactive effect. This summary does not consider or treat the tax laws of countries other than Belgium and does not take into account special circumstances peculiar to each shareholder. The shareholders are invited to consult their own advisers.
The dividends paid out by a RREC to a natural person domiciled in Belgium are subjected to a withholding tax at a reduced rate of 15%.
The dividends paid out by a RREC to a natural person domiciled in Belgium were formerly subject to withholding tax at a reduced rate of 15%. The Company satisfies the requirement of investing at least 80% of its property being located in the EEA and which is used or intended solely or primarily for residential care or residential units adapted for residential care or healthcare. After all, the portfolio of Care Property Invest consists solely of such real estate and, in accordance with its statutory purpose can only consist of such real estate.
The tax that is withheld by the RREC discharges Belgian shareholders-natural persons from their obligations.
Capital gains realised by Belgian natural persons who have not acquired the shares in the RREC in the context of the exercise of a professional activity are not taxable if they are part of the normal management of private assets. Capital losses are not deductible.
Pursuant to the Law of 18 December 2016 regulating the recognition and definition of crowd funding and containing various provisions concerning financing, published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 20 December 2016, shareholders of Care Property Invest can again enjoy a reduced rate of withholding tax, of 15% as from 1 January 2017.
These dividends in principle do not entitle the holder to a deduction by way of definitively taxed income for the Belgian shareholder company, as is the case for dividends from property investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi).
As is the case for capital gains on the shares of property investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi), the capital gains on the shares of RRECs are not exempt from corporation tax.
As a rule, the withholding tax on dividends paid by the RREC can be offset against corporation tax, and any overpayment is refundable, in as far as the shareholder corporation had full ownership of the shares at the time when the dividend was awarded or became payable and in as far as this award or provision for payment does not entail any impairment of or capital loss on these shares.
Dividends paid out by the RREC to a non-resident shareholder give rise, in regulation, to the collection of the withholding tax at the rate of 15% if the RREC invests at least 80%, in real estate consisting of properties located in a Member State of the European Economic Area and exclusively or mainly for residential care or housing units adapted to healthcare.

Certain non-citizens domiciled in countries with which Belgium has concluded tax treaties may, under certain conditions and subject to certain formalities, enjoy a reduction or an exemption from withholding tax.
The purchase and sale and any other acquisition and transfer for consideration in Belgium of existing RREC shares (secondary market) through the intervention of a 'professional intermediary', as is the case for real estate investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi), are, as a rule, subject to the tax on stock
Meise (BE) I Oase
exchange transactions, currently at a rate of 0.12%/0.35%/1.32% depending on the nature of the securities with a maximum of €1,300/€1,600/€4,000 per transaction and
per party.
Subject to the conditions referred to in Article 2.7.6.0.1 of the Flemish Tax Code (VCF), the shares of Care Property Invest can be exempted from inheritance tax, as the Company has accreditation within the meaning of this Article. The change of status from BEVAK to RREC does not, therefore, affect this exemption in any way.

Contract with a duration of at least 15 years and a maximum of 99 years, granting a temporary right of use in rem to the leaseholder, consisting of the full enjoyment and use of the property during that period. In return, the leaseholder pays - unless otherwise stipulated - an annual remuneration called 'canon or ground rent' (Title 7 'Leasehold' Book 3 'Property' of the Civil Code).
Leasehold contracts entered into before the entry into force of the new property law on 1 September 2021 are subject to the old rules of the Civil Code, and therefore have a minimum duration of 27 years.
Companies that apply for recognition as a regulated real estate company or specialised real estate investment fund, or that merge with a regulated real estate company, are subject to a specific tax or exit tax. This tax is comparable to a liquidation tax on deferred net capital gains and tax-exempt reserves.
The current exit tax rate is 15%.

The Law of 12 May 2014 concerning regulated real estate companies (SIR/GVV), as published in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of 30 June 2014 and last altered by the Law of 22 October 2017, as published in the Belgian Official Gazette of 9 November 2017.
The IAS/IFRS were issued by the IASB, which develops the international standards for the preparation of financial statements. European listed companies must apply these rules in their consolidated accounts for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2005. In accordance with the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014, Care Property Invest has applied these rules to its statutory financial statements since the financial year commencing on 1 January 2007.
Financial instrument with which parties contractually agree to swap interest payments over a certain period. This allows parties to swap fixed interest rates for floating interest rates and vice versa.

Weighted average duration of the lease contracts, where the weight is equal to the ratio of the rental income to the total rental income of the portfolio.
A liquidity provider is a financial institution (in the case of Care Property Invest: KBC Securities) which, under the supervision of Euronext and the FSMA, carries out a market animation assignment with respect to the Company's shares. The purpose of the market animation mandate is to promote the liquidity of transactions in the Company's shares and, more specifically, to facilitate an appropriate interaction between supply and demand, thereby facilitating the free market and thus reducing price fluctuations in the share.
Share price multiplied by the total number of listed shares.
The transfer of ownership of real estate is in principle subject to collection by the State of transfer tax, which constitutes most of the transaction costs. The amount of this tax depends on the transfer method, the capacity of the buyer and the geographical location of the property. The first two conditions, and thus the amount payable for the rights, are only known after the conclusion of the transfer of ownership.
In Belgium, the main possible methods of transfer of real estate and the associated registration fees are as follows:
contracts of sale relating to real estate: 12.5% for real estate in the Brussels-Capital Region and the Walloon Region, and 12% for real estate in the Flemish Region;
The effective rate of the transfer tax therefore varies between 0 and 12.5% without it being possible to give the percentage applying to a specific property before the transfer is executed.
N.B.: It should be noted that, as a result of the interpretation of the IAS/IFRS standards calculated by the Belgian Association of Asset Managers (BEAMA), the book value of buildings for the IAS/IFRS balance sheet is determined by deducting a fixed sum for transfer tax from the investment value, which is currently set by the real estate experts at 2.5%. However, for properties with a value of less than €2.5 million, the registration fees that apply according to the location of the property are deducted. For the Dutch and Spanish real estate investments there is no special agreement and the statutory transfer tax rates apply.
The value obtained by dividing the consolidated net assets of the RREC, net of minority interests, or, if no consolidation takes place, the net assets at statutory level, by the number of shares issued by the RREC, not including any treasury shares that may be held at the consolidated level.
'Inventory value of the shares' is a synonym for net value of share.

A building right is a right in rem to have buildings, works or plantations partially or fully on, above or below another party's land (see Article 1 of the Law of 10 January 1824 concerning building rights).
Gross dividend per share divided by the appropriated earnings per share, with the gross dividend being calculated on the basis of the adjusted EPRA Earnings.
The fair value of the investment properties in Belgium is calculated as follows:
The fair value = investment value/(1 + average determined as the lower of the investment unit value/(1 + percentage of the transfer costs, depending on the region in which the building is located) and the investment value as a whole/(1 + average percentage of the transaction costs as determined by BEAMA);
The average percentage of the transaction costs, as determined by BEAMA, is reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary, per threshold of 0.5%. The real estate experts confirm this deduction percentage in their regular reports to shareholders. The rate now stands at 2.5%.
