Creative Value Investment Group Limited is the holding company of the interests in the issuer of The Sten and Karin Mortstedt Family & Charity Trust.  Creative Value Investment Group Limited holds the relevant interests in the issuer through various subsidiary entities. The transaction which is the subject of these disclosures is an internal re-structuring in connection with the issuer's conversion to REIT status. As a result of such transaction, the indirect interests of both Creative Value Investment Group Limited and The Trustees of the Sten and Karin Mortstedt Family & Charity Trust remain unchanged, such that no thresholds have been crossed on an aggregated basis. The shareholdings of Creative Value Investment Group Limited's subsidiary entities in the issuer have been reorganised such that eight subsidiary entities now hold the relevant interests in the issuer, rather than three (as previously). As a result, Creative Value Investment I Limited, Creative Value Investment II Limited and Creative Value Investment III Limited have decreased their holdings in relevant interests in the issuer and Creative Value Investment IV Limited, Creative Value Investment V Limited, Creative Value Investment VI Limited, Creative Value Investment VII Limited and Creative Value Investment VIII Limited have increased their holdings in relevant interests in the issuer.
