4.2.ACQUISITIONS

Anderlecht (Brussels) – City Dox (Lot 4)

On 22 January 2021 Home invest Belgium reached an agreement with Atenor to acquire LOT 4 from the City Dox project in Anderlecht, under the usual condition precedent that the permit becomes definitively enforceable.

On 9 November 2021 Home Invest Belgium finalised the transaction.

The site, ideally located right next to the Digue du Canal in Anderlecht, is part of a large-scale project along the Brussels-Charleroi canal, which is currently being redeveloped. LOT4 offers 163 residential units and 2,200m² destined to production activities.

The total investment amounts to some € 50 million. The gross initial yield is estimated at approximately 4.5% at full occupancy of the building. Completion is expected in 2023.

Anderlecht (Brussels) – Key West (Building A)

At 24 June 2021 Home Invest Belgium has reached an agreement with Immobel and BPI Real Estate to acquire building A from the Key West project in Anderlecht, subject to the usual condition of obtaining a definitively enforceable permit. The site, which borders the Biestebroek basin, is part of a mixed project ideally located at the entrance to the heart of the city. Building A offers 101 housing units and 840m² of retail space.

The total investment for the project will be close to € 30 million and the estimated gross initial yield will be around 4.5% once the building is fully occupied. Delivery of the project is scheduled for 2025.

14The average occupancy rate calculated as the average percentage over a certain period of time of the contractual rents of the rented spaces, in relation to the sum of the contractual rents of the rented spaces and the estimated rental value of the vacant spaces. The occupancy rate is calculated excluding (i) buildings being renovated (ii) buildings being commercialised for the first time and (iii) buildings being sold.

Antwerp – Ankerrui 9

On 21 May 2021 Home Invest Belgium has reached an agreement, subject to certain conditions precedent, to acquire 100% of the shares in The Ostrov NV, the company that owns the building located at 9 Ankerrui in Antwerp. The share price of the company is based on an investment value of the existing office building of approximately € 10 million.

On 21 October 2021 Home Invest Belgium finalised the transaction.

The building is currently let as office space under a fixed-term lease of 6 years, with a contractually stipulated annual rent of €648,000. After expiration of the lease, Home Invest Belgium plans to convert the building into a mixed project with about 30 residential units and a retail space on the ground floor. With its convenient location by the entrance to the Waasland tunnel and a nearby tram connection that runs right through the city, the project is also easily accessible.

With this acquisition in Antwerp, Home Invest Belgium is accelerating its growth strategy in Belgium's larger cities. The project is located near the Eilandje, an Antwerp hotspot that includes the Museum Aan de Stroom (MAS) on the Napoleondok. The district, a

popular home for many Antwerp residents, lies at the crossroads between the Port of Antwerp and the historic city centre.

4.3.RENOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

General progress of the renovation and development projects

In the first 9 months of 2021 the progress of the projects had a normal pace.

Delivery of The Felicity – Laken (Brussels)

The project The Felicity (Meyers-Hennaustraat 5-17 in 1020 Brussels) has been delivered in June 2021. This project consists of the reconversion of an obsolete storage facility in Laken into 37 new apartments, 11 houses and 51 parking places. At the date of this press release, the building is fully occupied.

4.4.SALES

During the first 9 months of 2021, Home Invest Belgium has sold properties for a total net sales amount of € 9.88 million (compared to € 15.23 million during the first 9 months of 2019).

A net capital gain of € 0.43 million was realised on these sales compared to the latest fair value, i.e. 4.6% above the latest fair value, and a capital gain of € 5.24 million compared to the acquisition value (increased by capitalised investments).

The realised capital gain in relation to the acquisition value (increased by the capitalised investments) contributes to the distributable result of the company, which forms the basis for the distribution of the dividend.

DIVIDEND

Given the solid operational results of the company, the board of directors has decided to distribute an interim dividend of € 4,25 per share. More specifically, coupon nr. 31 will give entitlement to an interim dividend € 4.25 gross € 2.975 net per share (after deduction of the current withholding tax of 30%). The interim dividend will be paid on 10 December 2021.

For the years to come, the Board of Directors anticipates a dividend policy based on an annual increase in dividends equal to or higher than inflation. This is based on:

  • the constant indexed rent flow from existing investment properties;
  • the control of the operational costs of the company;
  • the company's hedging policy, which provides good visibility on interest charges and makes them assessable in the medium term;
  • the existing pipeline of project developments;
  • The reserves that the company has built up over the years.

OUTLOOK

During the first 9 months of 2021, the operational results of Home Invest Belgium have developed positively.

The residential rental market continues to grow steadily in those cities where Home Invest Belgium is active, mostly thanks to:

  • a long-term urbanisation trend, marked by demographic growth in big cities, including both young and older people, leading to increased demand for housing;
  • an increasing number of tenants in big cities, due to factors including an increasing need for flexibility and a change in attitudes to private property and concepts of urban sharing.

Home Invest Belgium owns a sustainable portfolio given its young age. More than 50% of the investment properties available for rent are younger than 10 years. Given the quality and the location of the properties in predominantly large urban areas, Home Invest Belgium is well positioned to take on a leading role in the favourable trends of the residential market.

Home Invest Belgium is considering international expansion of its activities as a specialist in the residential rental market.

Against this background, the board of directors confirms its confidence in the long-term prospects of the company.

14 RESULTS OF THE 3RD QUARTER 2021

Home Invest Belgium has used Alternative Performance Measures (APM) within the meaning of the Guidelines issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015 in its financial communication for many years. A number of these APMs are recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association, EPRA, while others were established by the sector or by Home Invest Belgium to provide the reader with a better understanding of the company's results and performances.

Performance indicators that are defined by the IFRS or by law, and indicators that are not based on items in the income statement or the balance sheet, are not considered to be APMs.

EPRA NAV

Definition:

EPRA published the new Best Practice Recommendations for financial disclosures of listed real estate companies in October 2019. EPRA NAV is being replaced by three new Net Asset Value indicators: EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV). The EPRA NAV indicators are obtained by adjusting the IFRS NAV in such a way that any shareholders receive the most relevant information about the value of the company's assets and liabilities.

Purpose:

  • EPRA NRV: displaying the resources required to reconstitute the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including transfer taxes;
  • EPRA NTA: displaying a NAV in which the real property and other investments have been revalued to their respective fair values, excluding certain items that are not expected to materialise into a longterm investment property business model;
  • EPRA NDV: represents the NAV of the company in a scenario when all assets are being old, and this scenario results in the value of any deferred taxes, debts and financial instruments being realised.
