1. Summary of activities during the 2021 financial year

Strategy

Care Property Invest was founded on 30 October 1995. As the first listed property investor in Belgium in 1996, it continued to focus on the growth of the Company and its property portfolio in 2021.

Real estate

The Company acquired approximately €135 million in new investments and signed approximately €35 million in new projects under suspensory conditions. This, combined with the completion of the current developments and the occurrence of an overall increase in the fair value of its portfolio, resulted in a total fair value of the property portfolio as at 31 December 2021 of approximately €986 million(1).

With its entry onto the Spanish market in 2020, Care Property Invest has continued to work on its geographical distribution. Within Europe, Spain is one of the countries where ageing has the greatest impact. Also in The Netherlands and Belgium, investments were made in new projects during the course of 2021.

Financial

In 2021, Care Property Invest reached the threshold of approximately €43.2 million in rental income, an increase of approximately 19.42% compared to the previous financial year. As a result of this increase in rental income, the adjusted EPRA earnings increased from €23.0 million for FY 2020 to €27.5 million for FY 2021, an increase of almost 19.6%. Care Property Invest was therefore able to more than meet its targets and realised adjusted EPRA earnings of €1.0576 per share , which, partly due to the distribution obligation of at least 80% of the statutory adjusted EPRA earnings, will lead to the proposal to increase the dividend by 8.75% (from €0.80 per share for the 2020 financial year to €0.87 per share of the 2021 financial year), and this despite the increase in the number of shares entitled to dividend as a result of the 2 capital increases that took place in 2021.

Improved transparency of financial reporting

In September 2021, Care Property Invest's reporting efforts have been rewarded for the fifth time in a row with an EPRA BPR Gold Award.

Outlook

The Company aims to continue this growth process in 2022, and aims for a further increase of its results, looking at existing and new markets. For instance, in February 2022 it announced its entry onto the Irish healthcare property market.

The Company expects rental income to increase to at least €53 million by the end of 2022.

An increase in adjusted EPRA earnings to €1.15 per share and an increase in the dividend to be paid from €0.87 per share to a minimum of €0.94 for financial year 2022 are also expected.

Care Property Invest's ambitions for 2022 and beyond are therefore high.

(iii) The value of the finance lease receivables included in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021 amounts to €201,585,466. The fair value of the finance lease receivables amounts to €267,844,539 as at 31 December 2021.

(1) (i) The investment properties are included at fair value in the balance sheet in accordance with IAS 40, the finance lease receivables are included at cost in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.

(ii) The share in % compared to the total property portfolio of the finance lease receivables (IFRS 16) according to the balance sheet values is 22% as at 31 December 2021, the share in % compared to the total property portfolio (IAS 40) according to the balance sheet values is 78% as at 31 December 2021.

2. Strategy: Care building in complete confidence

REAL ESTATE STRATEGY A growing market

Its 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.

The guaranteed demographic evolution in combination with its growth strategy, the implementation of its corporate purpose and the fact that as a RREC it invests for 100% in healthcare real estate, ensures that its 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. This was, among other things, also a major motivator for the Company to make its move onto the Dutch healthcare property market in 2018 and also onto the Spanish healthcare property market in 2020. In 2022 the Company will also continue its strategy by investing in the Irish care real estate market.

CUSTOMISED QUALITY REAL ESTATE

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.

(2) Based on the following data source: 'Projections of population intervals; age group, 2018-2060', CBS - 19 December 2017.

(4) Based on data from the Irish Central Statistics Office: 'Projected population, 2016 - 2051', https://www.cso.ie.

The main selection criteria are presented below:

  • Correct price-quality ratio of the project;
  • Potential returns of the project;
  • Solvency, reputation and spread of operators;
  • 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.

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.

FINANCIAL STRATEGY Management of investor and stakeholder relations

Care Property Invest aims to develop a continual dialogue with the healthcare sector, the government, potential and current investors, credit providers and more in general all stakeholders.

The Company attempts to align its financial strategy with the overall strategy and growth achieved by the Company. By continuously expanding its scale, the Company strives for a competitive distribution of debt and capital costs and an improvement of its operating margin.

Origin of financial sources

Care Property Invest aims to finance itself in the best possible way, making use of shareholders' equity and borrowed funds.

Equity

Equity is raised by using the capital market. By means of capital increases in cash and in kind, counterbalanced by immediately profitable assets and/ or a concrete pipeline, growth in earnings per share can be ensured and maintained.

Care Property Invest strives for a permanent dialogue with investors, directly and indirectly. By organising or participating in roadshows and trade fairs at home and abroad, it builds a permanent dialogue with both institutional and private investors.

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 strong growth, it attempts to allocate as much of its profits as possible so it can be reinvested within the legal framework. In doing so, the Company strives for a pay-out ratio (distribution rate of the dividend per share compared to the earnings per share) that comes as close as possible to the legal minimum of 80%, while at the same time striving for a sustainable increase in the dividend. It also examines 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. To this end, it appointed KBC Securities as second liquidity provider in November 2018, following the appointment of Bank Degroof Petercam as liquidity provider in February 2018.

The appointment of these liquidity providers results in smaller price fluctuations and thus a steadier share price and a smaller bid-ask spread.

Foreign funds

The foreign funds were raised as diversified as possible. This allows the risk on the banking counterparty to be limited. Care Property Invest aims for a further spread of its lenders both domestically and internationally.

In order to further diversify the origins of its sources of borrowed funds, the Company also has an MTN programme in place with Belfius that offers the possibility of issuing bonds and commercial papers. In 2018, the ceiling of this programme was raised for the first time from €50 million to €100 million and KBC was appointed as an additional dealer to limit the placement risk. Then in 2019, the ceiling was further increased to €140 million, in 2020 to €200 million and in 2021 to €300 million. The Company disposes of the necessary lines for the portion of the commercial paper offering the necessary coverage, in order not to increase the liquidity risk.

Care Property Invest tries to further limit its liquidity risk by keeping sufficient credit lines available for its short-term needs and the financing of additional investments over the current financial

year.

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-andhold strategy. As a result, the Company has a structural debt position with mainly bullet loans. The investment loans that the Company pays off are mainly loans that had already been contracted by subsidiaries prior to acquisition and that the Company acquired with the acquisition of the shares of the subsidiary. The cash position held permanently by the

Company is limited.

The Company's long-term objective is to have a debt ratio between 50% and 55%. This debt ratio allows for an optimal balance between own and foreign resources and also offers the possibility of taking advantage of investment opportunities.

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%. The Company closely monitors developments on the financial markets in order to optimise its financial structure and to obtain a good composition of short and longterm financing and the conclusion of derivative contracts in order to achieve the desired hedging percentage. The Company also aims to take into account the long-term income from its investments in the average duration of its loans.

Low risk and resilient sources of income through long-term leasehold and rental contracts

By contracting long-term leasehold and rental agreements, the Company 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 (apart from the investment in Gullegem), the Company succeeds in maintaining a low risk profile. The fact that on 31 December 2021 about one third of the rental income comes from agreements with local authorities, reinforces the low risk profile and makes 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.

3.1.4.3 CAPITAL INCREASE IN KIND

On 20 January 2021, Care Property Invest acquired the project 'Résidence des Ardennes' in Attert by means of a contribution in kind of the land and the real estate into the capital of Care Property Invest within the framework of the authorised capital. A separate agreement was also concluded regarding the completion of the construction works in progress.

As a result of this contribution, which led to a capital increase of €42,087,805 (including issue premium), 1,696,114 Care Property Invest shares were issued. The issue price was €24.81 per share.

On 17 November 2021, Care Property Invest acquired the project 'Dungelhoeff' in Lier by means of a contribution in kind of 100% of the shares in Apollo Lier nv, which owns the property, into the capital of Care Property Invest within the framework of the authorised capital.

As a result of this contribution, which led to a capital increase of €26,532,633 (including issue premium), 1,124,968 new Care Property Invest shares were issued. The issue price was €23.59 per share.

3.1.4.4 MTN PROGRAMME EXTENSION

In early 2021, Care Property Invest increased the ceiling of its MTN programme to €300 million, including an increase in the amount of back-up lines specifically established for this purpose.

3.1.4.5 SUCCESSFUL INAUGURAL ISSUE OF SUSTAINABILITY BONDS FOR €32.5 MILLION

Care Property Invest has successfully completed its first debt capital markets transaction by means of a €32.5 million Sustainability Bonds private placement. The bonds have a maturity of 10 years, with coupons of 2.05%, which means that Care Property Invest is able to further extend its average debt maturity at financing costs comparable to its weighted average interest rate at the time of issuance. The bonds were placed with an institutional investor, belonging to an international insurance group. With this transaction Care Property Invest secured financing to cover its existing commitments and planned capex for the next 12 months and demonstrates the diversification opportunities in funding that the Company has, as well as the confidence that the Company also enjoys among bond investors. The issue took place on 8 July 2021.

This issuance confirms Care Property Invest's commitment to sustainable development and further strengthening of its ESG strategy (Environmental, Social, and Governance).

The Sustainability Bonds are issued under the newly established Sustainable Finance Framework of Care Property Invest, on which Care Property Invest obtained a positive Second Party Opinion provided by Sustainalytics. It is also confirmed that the principles of this financing programme are in line with the ICMA Green Bond Principles.

The net proceeds from these bonds are used exclusively to finance or refinance eligible sustainable assets as included in the Care Property Invest Sustainable Finance Framework. The assets provide direct environmental and social profit benefits and are required to meet the eligible criteria reported in the Sustainable Finance Framework, mapped on the project categories of the ICMA Green – and Social Bond Principles, the EU Environmental Objectives as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The allocation will be reported on in the 2021 Sustainability report which will contain the amount allocated, a breakdown on categories of eligible assets and a breakdown by country and a breakdown between financing and refinancing of eligible assets.

The bonds are listed on Euronext Growth Brussels and added to the Euronext ESG Bond Initiative.

Care Property Invest's Sustainable Finance Framework is consistent with amongst others the guidelines of the Green Bond Principles (ICMA, 2018), Social Bond Principles (ICMA, 2020) and the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (2018).

3.1.4.6 AWARD FOR SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING BY RECEIVING THE EPRA SBPR SILVER AWARD AND THE EPRA SBPR MOST IMPROVED AWARD AND FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING BY RECEIVING THE EPRA BPR GOLD AWARD

On 22 September 2021, Care Property Invest received both the EPRA sBPR Silver Award and the EPRA sBPR Most Improved Award. The Company is pleased with this recognition of the efforts made in the field of sustainability reporting.

Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wider community was still being felt at the beginning of 2021, it can be said that the roll-out of vaccination programmes across Europe, prioritising residents and staff of residential care centres, has contributed to a more positive perception of the risk in residential care centres, where occupancy rates are rising again. Therefore, the pandemic has not had a significant impact on the financial performance of Care Property Invest to date, as the local governments of several countries have approved aid programmes that allow healthcare operators to (partially) cover the additional costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the fundamentals of healthcare real estate remain unaffected, with the pandemic only underlining the importance of quality care for the elderly.

Adjusted EPRA earnings per share based on weighted average number of outstanding shares

The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 23,105,198 as at 31 December 2020 and increased to 25,963,657 shares as at 31 December 2021. The number of shares amounted to 24,110,034 as at 31 December 2020 (including 6,878 treasury shares) and increased to 26,931,116 shares as at 31 December 2021 (including 9,192 treasury shares).

The number of shares changed as a result of (i) the contribution in kind of the residential care centre with assisted living apartments 'Résidence des Ardennes', located in Attert, on 20 January 2021 for which 1,696,114 new shares were issued and (ii) a capital increase in kind on 17 November 2021 for the purchase of 100% of the shares in Apollo Lier nv, which owns the residential care centre with assisted living apartments, 'Dungelhoeff', located in Lier, for which 1,124,968 new shares were issued. The shares issued under (i) are entitled to dividends for the full 2021 financial year, those issued under (ii) share in the result as from 10 November 2021 (coupon 15 et seq.).

The gross return is calculated in table '6.2 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 '6.3 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 €25.75 on 31 December 2021 and €26.90 on 31 December 2020. There are no instruments that have a potentially dilutive effect on the net result per share.

Notes to the global result statement

Operating result

The Company's operating result increased by 74.38% compared to 31 December 2020.

Rental income as at 31 December 2021 increased by 19.42% compared to the same period last year. The increase in rental income can be explained, besides indexation, by the additional rental income following (i) the acquisition of new investment properties and (ii) the completion of development projects in 2021. The acquired investment properties during 2020 also contribute to the increased rental income in 2021.

As at 31 December 2021, the Company had no outstanding rent receivables for which receivables had to be transferred to the doubtful debtors.

The Company's general expenses increased by €679,084 compared to 31 December 2020. This increase can be largely attributed to the increase in remuneration as the average workforce increased from 15.30 FTEs as at 31 December 2020 to 20.90 FTEs as at 31 December 2021. In addition, the Company's growth also contributes to the increase in the Company's general expenses.

Other operating income and expenses

decreased from €1,362,430 as at 31 December 2020 to €-29,439 as at 31 December 2021. The decrease is mainly due to the completion of the 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' project in Middelkerke, which generated significant revenue in 2020. In addition, the amount of pre-financing to be recovered was lower in financial year 2021 than in 2020.

As at 31 December 2021, this item consists mainly of the fee for project management of €720,080, which largely concerns the recovery of the pre-financing of existing Dutch projects, contributing to the Company's cash result and the profit and loss margin for these projects of €-856,887. The latter concerns a non-cash element which is corrected for the calculation of the adjusted EPRA earnings.

The variations in the fair value of investment properties amount to

€22,143,057 as at 31 December 2021. The increase reflects an overall positive variation in the fair value of the investment properties in portfolio as a result of inflation expectations on the real estate market and, in addition to this general trend, can be attributed to the variations in fair value of the acquisitions in 2021 and the completion of the 'Nuance' project in Vorst (Belgium). Also here it concerns unrealised variations that are corrected in the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Financial result

Interest charges rose as a result of the additional raising of external funds to finance the acquisitions that took place in the course of 2020 and 2021 on the one hand, and to finance ongoing project developments on the other. The weighted average interest rate amounts to 1.92% as at 31 December 2021. This is a significant decrease compared to the weighted average interest rate of 2.22% as at 31 December 2020. This is due to a lower marginal interest rate that the Company has to pay on new debts that it enters into. The financial result was positively influenced by the inclusion of the fair value of the financial instruments concluded. Due to an increase in market interest rates, a positive value of €11,165,200 was obtained as at 31 December 2021. As a result, the total impact to date is €-16,810,790 compared to €-27,975,990 as at 31 December 2020.

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.

Taxes

The amount of taxes as at 31 December 2021 includes the estimated and prepaid corporate income taxes as well as the modification of the calculated exit tax of the subsidiaries.

Adjusted EPRA earnings

The adjusted EPRA earnings on a consolidated basis amounted to €27,457,962 as at 31 December 2021 compared to €22,959,461 as at 31 December 2020. This represents an increase of 19.59%. The adjusted EPRA earnings per share rose from €0.9937 as at 31 December 2020 to € 1.0576 as at 31 December 2021. This represents an increase of 6.43% and is lower than the increase in total adjusted EPRA earnings due to the increase in the number of issued shares.

Notes to the consolidated balance sheet

Investment Properties

The Company's property portfolio increased by €184,177,279 in 2021 due to the acquisition of investment properties, namely the projects 'Résidence des Ardennes' in Attert (BE), 'Dungelhoeff' in Lier (BE), 'Emera Almeria' in Almeria (ES) and 'Forum Mare Nostrum I' in Alfaz del Pi (ES) and the development projects, namely the projects 'Amstel' in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel (NL) and 'Emera Mostoles' in Madrid (ES). The increase can also be explained by the further development of the projects 'De Orangerie' in Nijmegen (NL), 'Margaritha Maria Kerk' in Tilburg (NL), 'Sterrenwacht' in Middelburg (NL), 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (NL), 'St. Josephkerk' in Hillegom (NL), 'De Gouden Leeuw' in Zutphen (NL), 'Aldenborgh' in Roermond (NL), 'Villa Vught' in Vught (NL), 'Mariënhaven' in Warmond (NL), 'Huize Elsrijk' in Amstelveen (NL) and 'Emera Carabanchel' in Madrid (ES).

The projects 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (NL), 'De Gouden Leeuw' in Zutphen (NL), ' De Orangerie' in Nijmegen (NL) and the church building of the 'Margaritha Maria Kerk' project in Tilburg (NL) were

completed during the 2021 financial year.

The real estate experts confirm the fair value of the property portfolio at a total amount of €716.6 million (excluding €1.4 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 and 8.5% for the real estate in The Netherlands. For real estate in Spain, these are determined by the region where the property is located.

Other tangible fixed assets

As at 31 December 2021, this item contains €4,715,961 of 'tangible fixed assets for own use'.

The increase compared to 31 December 2020 is explained by the further development of the head office in Schoten.

Finance lease receivables

The item 'finance lease receivables' includes all final building rights fees that were 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), 'Residentie De Anjers' in Balen (BE), 'De Nieuwe Ceder' in Deinze (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, Balen, Deinze 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. The fair value of the financial leases amounted to €267,844,539 as at 31 December

2021.

Trade receivables regarding the projects included in the item 'Finance lease receivables'

The difference between the nominal value of the building lease payments (included under the heading 'finance lease receivables') and the fair value, which at the time of making available is calculated by discounting future cash flows, is included under 'trade receivables' and is depreciated on an annual basis.

Tax receivables and other current assets amount to €10,167,850 as at 31 December 2021, which is considerably higher than usual. Of this, €8.5 million related to an amount registered in a third-party account with the notary in connection with the purchase of a real estate project, which was completed after year-end.

Debts and liabilities

As at 31 December 2021, 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 2021, the amount already drawn amounts to €96.5 million in commercial paper and €21.0 million in bonds.

Amounts in EUR 31/12/2021 31/12/2020
Average remaining term of financial debt 6.55 6.33
Nominal amount of current and non-current financial debts 425,932,431 330,582,772
Weighted average interest rate (1) 1.92% 2.22%
Nominal amount of derivative instruments 156,527,042 156,914,042
Fair value of hedging instruments -16,810,790 -27,975,990

(1) The weighted average interest rate refers to interest rates after conversion of variable interest rates to fixed interest rates through swaps.

On 26 June 2021, the Company successfully announced its first transaction on the debt capital market through a private placement of €32.5 million in Sustainability Bonds. The bonds, which were issued on 8 July 2021, have a maturity of 10 years, with coupons of 2.05%, meaning that Care Property Invest has further extended its average debt maturity at financing costs comparable to its weighted average interest rate at the time of issue. The bonds were placed with an institutional investor, which is part of an international insurance group. The net proceeds of these bonds are used exclusively for the (re)financing of eligible sustainable assets as included in the Care Property Invest Sustainable Finance Framework. This transaction offers the Company further diversification in terms of credit providers and provides hedging in the medium term.

To hedge its debts with a floating interest rate, the Company also uses interest rate swaps. As at 31 December 2021, the Company has hedged 93,08% of its debts, either by means of an interest rate swap or by means of a fixed interest rate.

The consolidated debt ratio, calculated in accordance with Article 13, §1, 2° of the RREC Decree, was 47.06% as at 31 December 2021. The available margin for further investments and completion of the developments already acquired before reaching a debt ratio of 60% amounts to €305.0 million as at 31 December 2021.

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 highquality information to investors and publishes standards for financial reporting which from the annual financial report of the financial year 2016 on were included in the half-yearly and annual financial reports of Care Property Invest.

In October 2019 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

9. Outlook

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 47.06% as at 31 December 2021. In view of the fact that Care Property Invest's debt ratio does not exceed 50%, it is not subject to mandatory submission of a financial plan as referred to in Section 24 of the RREC Royal Decree.

9.1 Assumptions

On the basis of the balance sheet and the global result statement for the 2021 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:

Assumptions regarding factors that can be influenced by the members of the Company's administrative, management and supervisory bodies directly:

  • Increase in the Company's operating expenses;
  • For the time being, new projects are financed using own resources from operating activities and additional new credit lines, or the revenue from issuing commercial paper;
  • The financial costs are in line with the increase in financing during the 2021 financial year.
  • Additional financing costs for acquisitions in the first quarter of 2022 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:

• Rental income was increased by the annual indexation and the impact of new investments;

• Further fluctuations in the fair value of both the investment properties and the financial instruments have not been included as they are difficult to predict and, moreover, have no impact on the result to be distributed. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continued into 2021, the Company does not see any impact on the fair value of investment properties to date. However, the increased volatility of interest rates may have an impact on the fair value of financial instruments;

• Care Property Invest expects no impact from any doubtful debt;

• Due to the 'triple net' nature(1) of the agreement, no maintenance costs were taken into account for the investment properties. In spite of the fact that the finance lease agreements also concern 'triple net' agreements, a limited provision was created for these

-

  • agreements.
  • was concluded.

8. Appropriation of the result

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 25 May 2022 to distribute a total gross dividend for the 2021 financial year of €22,588,331 or €0.87 per share (€0.7461 for coupon 14 and €0.1239 for coupon 15). After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this represents a net dividend of €0.7395 per share (€0.6342 for coupon 14 and €0.1053 for coupon 15).

This represents an increase of 8.75% compared with the dividend paid for the 2020 financial year. The payout ratio will then be 80.03% at statutory level and 82.27% at consolidated level, based on the adjusted EPRA earnings.

The shares with coupon No. 14 will be entitled to a pro rata dividend from 1 January 2021 to 9 November 2021. The shares with coupon no.15 will be entitled to a pro rata dividend from 10 November 2021 to 31 December 2021.

In accordance with Article 13 of the RREC Decree, the minimum dividend payment amounts to €22,579,171 for the 2021 financial year. In the event of a positive net result for the financial year, this is the minimum amount that must be paid out as a remuneration for the capital, i.e. 80% of the corrected result less the decrease in debt during the financial year.

Summary table:

Number of shares with rights to dividends - coupon No. 14 25,804,456
Number of shares with rights to dividends - coupon No. 15 26,921,924
Remuneration of the capital - coupon No. 14 € 19,252,705
Remuneration of the capital - coupon No. 15 € 3,335,626
Total remuneration of the capital € 22,588,331
Gross dividend per share for shares with coupon No.14 € 0.7461
Gross dividend per share for shares with coupon No.15 € 0.1239
Total gross dividend per share for shares with coupon Nos. 14 and 15 € 0.87

9.2 Conclusion on debt ratio outlook

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 47.06% as at 31 December 2021.

The Company forecasts an increase in the debt ratio during the financial year 2022 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.

9.3 Conclusion on outlook for dividends and distributable results

Taking into account the uncertainty of the current economic situation and its impact on Care Property Invest's results, the Company would have no obligation to distribute a compensation for the capital in the event of a negative result. Based on the current contracts, which will still generate income for an average of 15.94 years, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company assumes an increase in the distributable result and the dividend payment for the 2022 financial year. The Company's solvency is supported by the stable value of its real estate projects.

For the 2021 financial year the Company received total rental income of approximately €43 million. This represented an increase in rental income of about 19% compared with the 2020 financial year (total rental income for the 2020 financial year was about €36 million).

The Company expects to receive a total rental income of at least €53 million for the 2022 financial year. This results in an adjusted EPRA result per share of at least €1.15.

Care Property Invest intends to pay at least a gross dividend of €094 per share for the 2022 financial year. After deduction of withholding tax rate of 15%, this results in a net dividend of €0.80 per share.

The Company provides an EPS guidance of €1.15 and a DPS guidance of €0.94 for the 2022 financial year.

10. Main risks
