Fundamentals of the Group

Business model

Adler Group S.A. is a residential real estate company which – through its more than 500 subsidiaries – holds and manages 25,005 rental units, primarily based in Berlin and North-Rhine-Westphalia. This rental portfolio is valued at EUR 4.1 billion. Besides the rental portfolio, Adler Group owns a portfolio of development projects in some of the larger cities in Germany valued at EUR 1.4 billion. According to the Company's strategy, these development projects shall be sold – some sales processes have already begun, others are to be initiated.

Hence, Adler Group's business model focuses on asset and portfolio management, property and facility management, aiming at improving operating results by increasing rents and decreasing vacancies in its existing portfolio. The portfolio shall be further optimised depending on opportunities or necessities.

532 operational employees are based in Luxembourg and in several locations across Germany in order to bring Adler Group as close as possible to assets and tenants.

Objectives and strategy

Focus on active management of the portfolio to grow earnings and improve EBITDA margins.

Adler Group focuses on increasing rents through active asset management and targeted investments to modernise, refurbish and re-position properties, while constantly screening and anticipating developments in different sub-markets. In order to realise upside potential, Adler Group pursues regular rent increases up to the market levels within the regulatory and legal limits without CapEx investment. In addition, Adler Group continuously reviews rent potentials and pursues growth beyond the rent tables through targeted CapEx investments to modernise, refurbish and/or re-position properties. Vacancies are kept low through active marketing tailored to the respective micro-location.

As apartments are typically renovated to market standard after a tenant has moved out, Adler Group is in the position to rent vacant apartments to higher quality tenants and thus to continuously improve the tenant structure and average rent.

Optimise the portfolio and recycle capital through selective investments and disposals.

By disposing of non-core assets, Adler Group aims to streamline the rental portfolio and to focus on its assets located in Berlin where a critical mass of assets can be managed, thereby improving profitability and portfolio KPIs. When selling selected assets, Adler Group aims to sell at or around book value and has supporting documents proving it has been able to do so in the past, thus demonstrating the resilience of the German residential real estate market. Active capital recycling enables Adler Group to reduce leverage and ultimately to improve its capital structure.

Committed to adding value through refurbishment and modernisation.

Investing selected CapEx in refurbishment and modernisation measures in the existing portfolio will elevate the quality of the rental portfolio, improve energy efficiency in line with sustainability targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus add value overall.

Corporate Governance

The Company's corporate governance practices are governed by Luxembourg Law (particularly the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended) and the Company's articles of association. As a Luxembourg company with its shares admitted to trading on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the Company is not subject to any specific mandatory corporate governance rules. The corporate governance practices applied by the Company are those applied under general Luxembourg law.

Composition of the Board

As at 30 June 2024, the Board comprises the following members:

Mr Stefan Brendgen, Chairman Independent Director

Mr Matthias Moser

Independent Director

Mr Thilo Schmid Independent Director

Mr Thierry Beaudemoulin Director

Mr Thomas Echelmeyer Director

Changes in the Board of Directors

The Board develops the strategic direction of the Company together with the Senior Management and ensures its implementation. The Board is vested with the broadest powers to take any necessary or useful actions to fulfil the corporate objectives of the Company, save for actions reserved by law to the General Meeting.

The Company further improved its Corporate Governance by streamlining its Board of Directors as the main governing body with the addition of one independent Board member. This proposed appointment followed the resignation of Prof. Stefan A. Kirsten in February 2024 and the tendered resignations of Dr. Heiner Arnoldi and Thomas Zinnöcker with effect as of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 25 June 2024. The AGM approved with an overwhelming majority the appointment of Matthias Moser as an independent member of the Board of Directors.

Together with Stefan Brendgen, Thierry Beaudemoulin (also CEO of the Company), Thilo Schmid and Thomas Echelmeyer (also CFO of the Company), the Company's Board of Directors now consists of five members, three of whom are independent; all five have extensive expertise in corporate governance, real estate, finance, restructuring and capital markets.

Committees established by the Board

The Board members meet regularly in the meetings of the Board and committees established by the Board. Currently, the Company has three committees:

  • The Audit Committee,
  • the Nomination and Compensation Committee,
  • the Ad hoc Committee.

The purpose, responsibilities and duties of each committee are described in the Annual Report for the financial year 2023. The former Investment and Financing Committee no longer exists. The chairmanships and memberships of each Board member are reflected in the table below.

Portfolio overview(*)

(*) All values include ground floor commercial units and exclude units under renovation and development projects. (**)Annualised net rental income.

In addition to the financial performance indicators, Adler Group also uses the following non-financial operating performance indicators.

The vacancy rate shows the ratio of m² of vacant units in the portfolio to total m² of the portfolio. Vacancy rate is used as an indicator of the current letting performance.

The in-place rent per m² provides an insight into the average rental income from the rented properties. It serves as an indicator of the current letting performance.

The like-for-like rental growth is the change rate of the net rents generated by the like-for-like residential portfolio over the last 12 months.

All of the above-described non-financial performance indicators are key drivers for the development of rental income.

The total amounts spent on maintenance and CapEx in relation to the total lettable area of the portfolio are further operational figures to ensure an appropriate level of investment in the real estate portfolio.

Like-for-like rental growth of the portfolio amounted to 4.6% over the last twelve months. Like-for-like rental growth of our Berlin portfolio amounted to 5.2% while like-for-like rental growth of the remaining portfolio stood at 2.7%.

Adler Group's fully integrated active asset management is focused on rental growth and employs dedicated strategies to drive all relevant components. In units that require modernisation, Adler Group invests CapEx to improve quality to meet today's standards and regulations. Applying the relevant regulatory framework accurately and efficiently is key to successfully maximising rental growth for let units.

Financial Overview

Financial performance indicators

As outlined at various places in this report (e.g., refer to the section "Material Events"), Adler Group has been exposed to a challenging situation that was partly self-inflicted and largely caused by external factors throughout the financial year 2022. The situation itself manifested in liquidity constraints, lack of financing capacities and dried real estate markets that made portfolio sales almost impossible. In order to cope with this situation, management decided to focus on always preserving enough liquidity as well as on net rental income as the main key performance indicators. The other financial performance indicators outlined below were not suspended but were followed with a much lower focus than usual. Consequently, we waive the explicit description of the financial performance indicators listed below.

The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) changed its definition of Net Asset Value (NAV) in October 2019 and it was applied for the first time in the 2020 financial year. The key figures NAV and NNNAV have been replaced by three new figures: Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and Net Disposal Value (NDV).

In addition to the new EPRA NAV metrics, we continue to show EPRA NAV based on the previous EPRA Best Practice Recommendations (BPRs).

EPRA NAV represents the fair value of net assets on an ongoing, long-term basis. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances, such as the fair value of financial hedging derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses, are therefore excluded. Similarly, trading properties are adjusted to their fair value under the EPRA NAV measure.

EPRA NAV makes adjustments to IFRS NAV to provide stakeholders with the most relevant information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities within a true real estate investment company with a long-term investment strategy.

Calculation of EPRA NAV

Total equity attributable to owners of the Company

  • (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
  • (–) Fair value of financial instruments2)
  • (–) Deferred taxes3)

= EPRA NAV

1) Difference between inventories carried in the balance sheet at cost (IAS 2) and the fair value of inventories.

2) Fair value of financial instruments that are used for hedging purposes where the Company has the intention of keeping the hedge position until the end of the contractual duration.

3) For EPRA NAV and EPRA NRV: Deferred tax as per the IFRS balance sheet in respect of the difference between the fair value and the tax book value of investment property, development property held for investment, intangible assets, or other non-current investments. For EPRA NTA: Only deferred taxes relating to the proportion of the portfolio that is intended to be held in the long run and not sold are excluded.

The objective of the EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances, such as the fair value movements on financial hedging derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses, are therefore excluded. Since the indicator also aims at reflecting what would be needed to recreate the Company through the investment markets based on its current capital and financing structure, related costs (such as real estate transfer taxes) are included.

Calculation of EPRA NRV

Total equity attributable to owners of the Company

  • (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
  • (–) Fair value of financial instruments2)
  • (–) Deferred taxes3)
  • (+) Real estate transfer tax4)

= EPRA NRV

4) For EPRA NRV: Real Estate Transfer Tax on investment properties is the gross value as provided in the valuation certificate (i.e., the value prior to any deduction of purchasers' costs). For EPRA NTA: The Company has a history of successfully completing share deals; and there is a reasonable expectation that the Company can also do so in the future. Therefore, transfer tax optimisation adjustment has been used by applying the implied average transfer tax consistently achieved in the past.

The underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability.

Calculation of EPRA NTA

Total equity attributable to owners of the Company

  • (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
  • (–) Fair value of financial instruments2)
  • (–) Deferred taxes3)
  • (–) Goodwill
  • (+) Real estate transfer tax4)

= EPRA NTA

EPRA Net Disposal Value presents a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability, including tax exposure not reflected in the balance sheet, net of any resulting tax. This measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" because, in many cases, fair values do not represent liquidation values.

Calculation of EPRA NDV

Total equity attributable to owners of the Company

  • (+) Revaluation of inventories1)
  • (–) Fair value of fixed interest rate debt5)
  • (–) Goodwill

= EPRA NDV

5) The difference between the fair value of fixed interest rate debt and book value included in the balance sheet as per IFRS.

NOI (net operating income) equals total revenue from the property portfolio less all reasonably necessary operating expenses. Aside from rent, a property might also generate revenue from parking and service fees. NOI is used to track the real estate portfolio's capability of generating income.

Adj. EBITDA from rental activities is an indicator of a company's financial performance and is calculated by deducting the overhead costs from NOI. It is used as a proxy to assess the recurring earnings potential of the letting business.

Adj. EBITDA Total can be derived by adding the net profit from project development activities to Adj. EBITDA from rental activities.

In addition, we present the NOI margin from rental activities – calculated as NOI divided by net rental income, as well as Adj. EBITDA margin from rental activities – calculated as Adj. EBITDA from rental activities divided by net rental income. These metrics are useful to analyse the operational efficiency at real estate portfolio level as well as at Company level.

6) Cost from rental activities is the aggregate amount of (a) Salaries and other expenses related to rental activities; (b) Net cost of utilities recharged; and (c) Property operations and maintenance, excluding one-off costs. Adjustments for one-off costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.

7) Overhead costs from rental activities represent the "General and administrative expenses" from the profit or loss statement excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation relating to rental activities. Adjustments for oneoff costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective like impairment losses on trade receivables.

8) Other operational costs from development and privatisation sales is the aggregate amount of (a) Costs of real estate inventories disposed of; (b) Costs of property development; and (c) Costs of selling of trading property (condominiums) excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation. Adjustments for oneoff costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.

9) Overhead costs from development and privatisation sales represent the "General and administrative expenses" from the profit or loss statement excluding one-off costs and depreciation and amortisation excluding costs relating to rental activities. Adjustments for one-off costs include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.

10) FFO 2 net interest expenses is equal to "Interest on other loans and borrowings", excluding day-1 fair value non-cash adjustment and interest capitalised for development projects, plus the nominal interest expense on bonds.

11) Other net financial costs is equal to the total "Net finance costs" from the profit or loss statement less "Net cash interest" as calculated in footnote 10) above.

12) Other expenses/income relates to adjustments for one-off costs which include items that are of a non-periodic nature, recur irregularly, are not typical for operations, or are non-cash-effective.

13) Net income from at-equity valued investments from the profit and loss statement.

Starting with Adj. EBITDA from rental activities, we calculate the main performance figure in the sector, the FFO 1 (from rental activities). This KPI serves as an indicator of the sustained operational earnings power after cash interest expenses and current income taxes of our letting business.

26) Non-controlling interests are only adjusted for minority shareholders in Adler's subsidiary Brack Capital Properties N.V. for reasons of materiality, thus any other minority shareholders are not considered due to their insignificancy. 27) Total column illustrates the combined values of the previous columns.

We believe that the alternative performance measures described in this section constitute the most important indicators for measuring the operating and financial performance of the Group's business.

We expect all of the above-described alternative performance measures to be useful for our investors when evaluating the Group's operating performance, the net value of the Group's property portfolio and the level of the Group's indebtedness.

Due to rounding, the figures reported in tables and cross-references may deviate from their exact values as calculated.

Profit situation

Compared to the prior year, net rental income slightly decreased in the first six months of the year due to the disposal of the "Wasserstadt" portfolio in August 2023, and the Hamm portfolio by BCP in December 2023. The decrease was partly compensated by rent increases realised with regard to the remaining assets.

Despite the decrease in net rental income, Adj. EBITDA from rental activities remained stable at EUR 60 million due to savings in overhead costs from rental activities.

FFO 1 and FFO 2 were both negatively impacted by the significant increase in net interest expenses due to the New Money Facility of EUR 937.5 million with a PIK interest of 12.5% as well as the 2.75% PIK interest step-up on the Adler Group S.A. bonds, all having become effective in April 2023 as part of the Restructuring Plan.

Financial and asset position

The decrease in investment properties was mainly due to the fair value adjustments of Adler Group's yielding assets and development assets recognised under investment properties, following the external revaluation in H1 2024. Other non-current assets include other financial assets of EUR 111 million (mainly comprising loans against non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries), contract assets of EUR 30 million, right-of-use assets of EUR 30 million, investments in financial instruments of EUR 17 million as well as restricted bank deposits of EUR 16 million. Inventories primarily include land from forward and upfront sales. Other current assets include other receivables (EUR 103 million), trade receivables (EUR 57 million), restricted bank deposits (EUR 35 million) and contract assets (EUR 9 million). Non-current assets held for sale mainly relate to BCP.

Interest-bearing debts include bonds, bank debt and the new financing facilities issued in FY 2023. This position does not contain debts held at BCP level, as these are shown separately as liabilities held for sale. Other liabilities include other long-term financial liabilities (EUR 242 million) incl. accrued interest of EUR 231 million, other current payables (EUR 223 million) with the majority referring to income tax payables, provisions (EUR 87 million) and trade payables (EUR 59 million).

The Group's total equity decreased mainly due to the negative net result of EUR 507 million for the reporting period to a negative amount of minus EUR 467 million. The Company expects to significantly strengthen the equity position following the implementation of the recapitalisation agreed with its bondholders.

As at 30 June 2024, the total interest-bearing nominal debts amounted to around EUR 6,480 million including debts owned by BCP. As at Q2 2024, the average interest rate on all outstanding debt is 6.4%, with a weighted average maturity of 2.3 years.

Material Events

In the reporting period

1. On 23 January 2024, Adler Group S.A. confirmed that it will continue its restructuring path as planned. This followed the decision by the Court of Appeal of England and Wales on 23 January 2024 to set aside the Sanction Order made by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales on 12 April 2023. Pursuant to the Sanction Order, the bonds issued by AGPS BondCo plc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adler Group, were amended as of 17 April 2023. Since then, the amended bond terms have formed the basis of the Adler Group's ongoing liabilities, and the appellants in April 2023 did not apply for the appeal to have a suspensive effect on the Sanction Order. The implementation of the restructuring in April 2023 was carried out in accordance with German law and therefore the terms and conditions of the bonds remain valid regardless of the decision by the Court of Appeal to set aside the Sanction Order. The Court of Appeal's decision was made following a hearing lasting several days at the end of October 2023. While Adler Group respects the decision of the Court of Appeal to set aside the Sanction Order, the decision has no impact on the Adler Group or the effective amendments to the bond terms.

2. Pursuant to a decision of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. ("TASE"), the shares of BCP were transferred to the TASE maintenance list on 31 January 2024.

3. On 19 February 2024, Prof. Dr. A. Stefan Kirsten resigned from his office as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Adler Group S.A. with immediate effect for health reasons and left the Board. This was announced by the Company following an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors. Stefan Brendgen, member of the Board, assumed the office of Chairman of the Board of Directors.

4. On 28 February 2024, BCP completed the issuance of a new listed series of bonds (Series D) with a total scope of approximately ILS 360 million (equivalent to EUR 91.4 million). The bonds are linked to the CPI and are subject to a fixed interest rate (which is also linked to the CPI) of 5.05%.

5. On 27 March 2024, Adler Group announced the completion of the sale of the Wasserstadt Tankstelle development project in Berlin. The buyer is the Hilpert Group, headquartered in Würzburg. The property was leased to a petrol station until 2022 and is therefore the last undeveloped part of Wasserstadt Berlin. The transaction, which was signed in December 2023, generated net proceeds in the double-digit millions for the Adler Group. The transaction contributed to the declared goals of further reducing the Group's debt in 2024 and beyond, as well as focusing operationally on the residential rental portfolio.

6. On 25 April 2024, Adler Group announced that it is currently in advanced negotiations with a steering committee of bondholders ("SteerCo") to, among other plans, refinance and extend existing financial indebtedness, partially subordinate existing financial indebtedness and issue instruments representing majority voting control in Adler Group to bondholders. These discussions resulted in a non-binding agreement in principle and the parties were aiming for a lock-up agreement ("Lock-up Agreement") to be signed with the members of the SteerCo and further bondholders of the Group in due course.

7. On 30 April 2024, Adler Group announced the sale of the development project FourLiving VauVau & Mensa located in Leipzig. Following the positive council resolution passed by a clear majority on 24 April 2024, the City of Leipzig notarised its acceptance of the offer and acquired the project located on Prager Strasse with a gross floor area of around 37,900 square metres and an area of around 1.5 hectares. The transaction, which was signed on 26 April 2024, generated net proceeds of around EUR 26 million at a sales price of EUR 27 million. In the challenging market environment, Adler Group sold the project at a discount of around 5% on the gross asset value as at 31 December 2023. The transaction closed in May 2024.

8. On 24 May 2024, Adler Group announced that Mr Matthias Moser is to be proposed as a new Board member at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 25 June 2024. This proposed appointment follows the resignation of Prof. Stefan A. Kirsten in February 2024. Dr. Heiner Arnoldi and Thomas Zinnöcker also tendered their resignations with effect as of the upcoming AGM.

Matthias Moser is a graduate economist and an expert in real estate and finance with more than 30 years' experience. He has held a number of appointments as executive, non-executive and advisor roles in various companies, including most recently Domicil Real Estate AG, SüdeWo GmbH and GBW Immobilien AG.

Following the AGM's approval of the appointment on 25 June 2024, the Board of Directors consists of five members. The Board is therefore composed as follows: Stefan Brendgen (Chairman), Thierry Beaudemoulin (CEO), Thomas Echelmeyer (CFO), Matthias Moser and Thilo Schmid.

9. On 24 May 2024, Adler Group announced that it had entered into a binding Lock-Up Agreement with the Steer-Co supporting a comprehensive recapitalisation of the Group. The Lock-Up Agreement was signed by bondholders representing more than 60% of the 2L Senior Secured Notes ("2L Notes") issued by Adler Group's subsidiary AGPS BondCo plc.

The first component of the agreement is to extend the existing Group debt maturities to December 2028, December 2029, and January 2030. The second component is to strengthen Adler Group's equity by approx. EUR 2.3 billion which is expected to be achieved through the conversion of most of the existing 2L Notes into subordinated perpetual notes with terms consistent with equity classification under IFRS, thereby stabilising the Group's balance sheet. Together with the remaining reinstated 2L Notes of EUR 700 million, the perpetual notes form new notes, totalling approx. EUR 3 billion. Furthermore, Adler Group will be provided with up to EUR 100 million of fresh money through an increase in the existing 1L New Money Facility provided by a special purpose vehicle at the initiative of the bondholders. Additionally, the finance documents will provide for the ability to hold back disposal proceeds of up to EUR 250 million realised from April 2024, which would otherwise be applied in mandatory repayment of the existing 1L New Money Facility.

As part of the recapitalisation transaction, bondholders are to receive the majority in Adler Group's voting rights. Following the implementation of the transaction, all outstanding common shares are to represent 25% of Adler Group's total voting rights. The remaining 75% of total voting rights will be represented by the bondholders. All common shares continue to represent 100% of Adler Group's dividend distribution rights.

10. Effective on 31 May 2024, Hubertus Kobe, Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) and member of the Senior Management of Adler Group, decided to leave the Company. The position of the CRO will not be filled again.

11. On 18 June 2024, Adler Group announced that its bondholders cleared the way for the Group's comprehensive recapitalisation following a consent solicitation that was conducted after the binding agreement with a steering committee of bondholders had been announced on 24 May 2024. In the consent solicitation, more than 90% of the present and voting bondholders of each series approved the amendment of the terms and conditions of the senior secured notes issued by AGPS BondCo plc, a 100% direct subsidiary of Adler Group S.A. (the "Notes"). The 75% (present and voting) bondholder approval needed to implement the proposed amendments was far surpassed in each series of Notes, which underlines the strong and unified support received to effect certain amendments to the Notes (the "Proposed Amendments"). Adler Group stated that it will procure the implementation of the Proposed Amendments, which are subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions set out in the corresponding consent solicitation statement and will inform the bondholders as soon as the implementation conditions have been fulfilled or waived.

12. In June 2024, a Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with a German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 77 million by more than three years until October 2028. Also in June 2024, a different Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with another German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 48 million by more than three years until December 2028.

Subsequent events

The Group evaluated transactions or other events in the financial statements that occurred between the reporting date 30 June 2024 and 28 August 2024 (the date of finalisation of the condensed interim financial statements), and classifies the following as subsequent events.

1. On 9 August 2024, the reconvened extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Adler Group approved the proposed amendments to the articles of association of Adler Group, including authorising the Board of Directors to issue voting securities representing 75% of the voting rights. With this approval, the EGM voted in favour of the recently announced comprehensive recapitalisation. Bondholders invested in the 2L Notes shall receive 75% of the voting rights of Adler Group. Such voting rights will not participate in the dividends of Adler Group. Adler Group expects to complete the comprehensive recapitalisation in the course of September 2024.

2. In August 2024, a group of Berlin-based property companies of Adler Group entered into an agreement with a German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 136 million by more than three years until October 2028.

Forecast Report

Forecast for 2024

Adler Group expects to generate net rental income for 2024 in the range of EUR 200–210 million.

Following the sanctioning of the Restructuring Plan in April 2023, the Company refrained from announcing an FFO 1 guidance due to the current situation of the Group which is primarily focused on steering its liquidity situation and de-leveraging through asset and portfolio disposals.

Against the backdrop of the initiated comprehensive recapitalisation expected to become effective in the course of September 2024, from today's perspective, the Senior Management does not see any financial or financing risks, Company-specific or governance risks that could jeopardise the mid-term continuation of Adler Group as a going concern in terms of its results of operations and/or net assets.

Opportunities and Risk Report

In addition to the opportunities and risks presented in Adler Group's Integrated Annual Report for financial year 2023, the first half of 2024 shows a slightly positive trend in the Company's overall risk assessment based on the adjustments initiated in the Restructuring Plan and expected to become effective in the third quarter. With regard to opportunities, reference is made to the Integrated Annual Report for 2023.

The Restructuring Plan 2023 secured the going concern of Adler Group at the time. However, the weak German real estate market continued to have a negative impact on Adler Group and its competitors, resulting in asset devaluations and low transaction volumes. This situation is not expected to ease before 2025. Therefore, Adler Group proposed to its bondholders to adjust the business plan and sales timeline, i.e., to dispose of development assets at adjusted prices until 2026, and to largely dispose of the yielding portfolio in 2027/2028 when the market is expected to have recovered. The extended timeline to dispose of assets requires an adjustment of the Group's capital structure and liquidity.

On 18 June 2024, Adler Group's bondholders cleared the way for Adler Group's comprehensive recapitalisation via a consent solicitation, following a binding agreement with a steering committee of bondholders supporting the recapitalisation of the Group as announced on 24 May 2024. The comprehensive recapitalisation is expected to be implemented through the conversion of certain of the existing Notes into subordinated perpetual notes which are to be classified as equity under IFRS, thereby strengthening Adler Group's book equity by approximately EUR 2.3 billion and stabilising its balance sheet. In connection therewith, certain of the Group's existing debt maturities are expected to be extended to December 2028, December 2029, and January 2030. Furthermore, Adler Group will be provided with up to EUR 100 million of additional liquidity through an increase in the existing 1L New Money Facility and also the ability to hold back disposal proceeds of up to EUR 250 million realised from April 2024, which would otherwise be applied in mandatory repayment of the existing 1L New Money Facility.

On 9 August 2024, the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Adler Group approved the proposed amendments to the articles of association of Adler Group, including authorising the Board of Directors to issue voting securities representing 75% of the voting rights. With this approval, the EGM voted in favour of the recently announced comprehensive recapitalisation thereby opening the way for Adler Group's future. Bondholders invested in the 2L Notes shall receive 75% of the voting rights of Adler Group. Such voting rights will not participate in the dividends of Adler Group. Adler Group expects to complete the comprehensive recapitalisation in the course of September 2024.

Risk management system

Compared to 31 December 2023, there have been no significant changes in the risk management process and risk identification and assessment. With regard to risk organisation and responsibilities, the central risk management department was assigned back to the Chief Legal Officer (CLO) as of June 2024 as part of the "Compliance & Risk Management" division.

Quantification scoring model

The risks with a high probability of occurrence and at the same time with a high potential amount of damage are shown in the area of the heat map marked in red as presented in the FY 2023 management report. As at 30 June 2024, those risks have increased from score 3 to 4.

Same as at 31 December 2023, the "liquidity risk" was recorded with a potential loss amount with respect to liquidity of EUR >30–100 million and with respect to asset value of EUR >625–1,250 million (class 5), respectively, with a probability of occurrence of >75%–90% (class 5). The probability of occurrence of "tax risks" and of "audit opinion and disclosure risks" was recorded with >75%–90% (class 5) and with a potential loss amount with respect to liquidity of EUR >30–100 million and with respect to asset value of EUR >187.5–625 million (class 4). The "project-specific transactions risks" were recorded with a potential loss amount with respect to liquidity of EUR >10–30 million and with respect to asset value of EUR >62.5–187.5 million (class 3), respectively, with a probability of occurrence of more than 90% (class 6). As located in the dark red area, liquidity risks are defined as threatening the existence of Adler Group.

In comparison to the assessment as at 31 December 2023, the "valuation risks" were downgraded.

Qualitative assessment

The following table summarises the changes in risk sub-categories as of 30 June 2024 compared to 31 December 2023 that have been assigned a risk score greater than 4.5 according to the qualitative assessment and are therefore considered highly relevant. Risk sub-categories that are considered material (i.e., weighting in the overall risk score exceeding 5%) are also listed below. For the remaining risk sub-categories, please refer to the Annual Report 2023. In the table below, the comparative values as of 31 December 2023 are shown in brackets:

Risk category Risk sub-category Risk score Materiality
Financial and refinancing risks Audit opinion and disclosure risks 5.4 (5.4)
Liquidity risks 5.4 (5.4) material
Valuation risks 4.8 (4.9) material
Operating risks in project development Project-specific transaction risks 5.3 (5.1)
Risks in the "Build & Deliver" project phase 4.8 (4.8) material
Company-specific risks Tax risks 5.3 (5.3)
Central purchasing 4.6 (4.6)

Very relevant and material risks

Among the risks or risk sub-categories identified and classified by the Group as highly relevant (i.e., with a risk score of more than 4.5 in the qualitative assessment) and material (i.e., with a weighting of more than 5% in the overall risk assessment) in the qualitative risk assessment as at 30 June 2024, the liquidity risks are, according to the quantitative risk assessment, classified as risks that threaten the existence of the Company.

Overall assessment of risks and opportunities by the Senior Management

The Senior Management of Adler Group has identified the above-mentioned risks threatening the Company's continued existence as of 30 June 2024 and has initiated appropriate measures to avert them. Against the backdrop of the initiated comprehensive recapitalisation expected to become effective in the course of September 2024, from today's perspective, the Senior Management does not see any financial or financing risks, Company-specific or governance risks that could jeopardise the mid-term continuation of Adler Group as a going concern in terms of its results of operations and/or net assets.

Nevertheless, despite proactive measures, the going concern assessment is inherently subject to certain risks and uncertainties. This is predicated on the successful negotiation with creditors to sustain the business, realise asset sales, and settle liabilities in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future, which is assessed to be at least, but not limited to, two years from the reporting date.

Responsibility Statement

We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the Condensed Interim Financial Statements of Adler Group S.A. presented in this Q2 2024 Quarterly Financial Statements, prepared in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial and earnings position of the Company, and that the Interim Management Report includes a fair review of the development of the business, and describes the main opportunities, risks and uncertainties associated with the Company for the remaining six months of the year.

Note 1 – Adler Group S.A.

Adler Group S.A. (the "Company" or "Adler Group") is a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated under Luxembourg law. The address of the Company's registered office is 55 Allée Scheffer, 2520 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The Company is specialised in and focused on the purchase, management and development of income-producing multi-family residential real estate. The portfolio of Adler Group S.A. and its subsidiaries is situated in or on the outskirts of major urban areas with a significant portion in Berlin. Adler Group provides an integrated German residential platform that covers the entire real estate value chain, from acquisition of land, planning and development of projects to property management and letting of residential units in Germany.

Hence, the Adler Group's business model focuses on asset and portfolio management, property and facility management, aiming at improving operating results by increasing rents and decreasing vacancies in its existing portfolio.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at 30 June 2024 and for the six-month period then ended comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").

Note 2 – Basis of preparation

A. Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as applicable in the European Union ("EU"). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant for understanding the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Euro ("EUR") and have been rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated. Due to rounding, the figures reported in tables and cross-references may deviate from their exact values as calculated.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 28 August 2024.

B. Use of judgements, estimates and fair value measurements

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. This also applies to fair value measurements and the determination of fair values. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Unless specified otherwise in the following sections, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023.

C. Uncertainties on the continuation as a going concern

Adler Group has taken considerable steps to ensure its ongoing viability through a restructuring plan agreed in April 2023. Following the implementation of the restructuring plan, Adler Group has taken various actions aimed at stabilising the business and managing debt maturities effectively. These measures have been instrumental in reinforcing the Group's capacity to continue as a going concern.

While the Group has achieved operational successes and realised asset disposals since April 2023, it faces persistent challenges due to market weakness in the German real estate sector. Inflationary pressures, elevated borrowing costs, and greater asset devaluations than expected have shaken investor confidence and curtailed transaction volumes. The initial restructuring plan, predicated on asset sales for debt repayment, has been reassessed in light of the strained ability to dispose of assets at favourable prices under these market conditions.

In response, Adler Group is proactively revising its restructuring framework, focusing on two key pillars: (i) a revised business plan to restructure the Group's most difficult assets and to participate in the expected market recovery, and (ii) a financial restructuring which improves the Group's cash position, stabilises the debt structure by postponement of maturities beyond 2026/27 and provides a sufficient equity position until maturity of Adler Group's prolonged debt in order to provide a solid foundation for the Group's going concern for at least, but not limited to, the next two years. This revised restructuring framework was the basis of Management's assessment of going concern which was conducted as part of the process of finalising these financial statements.

On 18 June 2024, Adler Group's bondholders cleared the way for Adler Group's comprehensive recapitalisation via a consent solicitation, following a binding agreement with a steering committee of bondholders supporting the recapitalisation of the Group as announced on 24 May 2024. The comprehensive recapitalisation is expected to be implemented through the conversion of certain of the existing debt instruments into subordinated perpetual notes which are to be classified as equity under IFRS, thereby strengthening Adler Group's book equity by approximately EUR 2.3 billion and stabilising its balance sheet. In connection therewith, certain of the Group's existing debt maturities are expected to be extended to December 2028, December 2029, and January 2030. Furthermore, Adler Group will be provided with up to EUR 100 million of additional liquidity through an increase in the existing 1L New Money Facility and also the ability to hold back disposal proceeds of up to EUR 250 million realised from April 2024, which would otherwise be applied in mandatory repayment of the existing 1L New Money Facility.

On 9 August 2024, the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Adler Group approved the proposed amendments to the articles of association of Adler Group, including authorising the Board of Directors to issue voting securities representing 75% of the voting rights. With this approval, the EGM voted in favour of the comprehensive recapitalisation of the Group. Bondholders invested in the 2L Notes shall receive 75% of the voting rights of Adler Group. Such voting rights will not participate in the dividends of Adler Group. Based on this progress, Management expects to complete the comprehensive recapitalisation in the course of September 2024.

In addition, Adler Group was able to successfully prolong several secured bank loans in the second quarter of 2024 until 2028.

These recent measures, coupled with the projected recovery of the real estate market and a more stable economic environment, bolsters the Group's assertion of its going concern status, underpinning its capability to fulfil financial commitments, dispose of assets, and satisfy liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

Nevertheless, despite proactive measures, the going concern assessment is inherently subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Adler Group S.A., as per International Financial Reporting Standards, presuppose the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. This is predicated on the successful negotiation with creditors to sustain the business, realise asset sales, and settle liabilities in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future, which is assessed to be at least, but not limited to, two years from the reporting date.

Note 3 – Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

According to the Group's fair value valuation policies, investment properties generally undergo a detailed valuation as at 30 June and 31 December of each year, unless the Group identifies material changes in the value of these properties at an earlier date.

The fair value of the residential investment properties as at 30 June 2024 was determined by the valuation expert CBRE, an independent industry specialist that has appropriate, recognised professional qualification and up-to-date experience regarding the location and category of the properties. The fair value of the investment properties under construction (project development) was determined by the valuation expert NAI Apollo, an independent industry specialist with appropriate, recognised professional qualifications and up-to-date experience regarding the location and category of the properties.

The fair value measurement for all the investment properties has been categorised as Level 3 fair value due to prevailing use of unobservable inputs to the adopted valuation method.

The Group values its portfolio of residential investment properties using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. Under the DCF methodology, the expected future income and costs of the properties are forecast over a period of 10 years and discounted to the date of valuation. The income mainly comprises expected rental income (current in-place rent, market rents as well as their development) taking vacancy losses into account. The residual value method is applied for investment properties under construction (project development). This approach is common to calculate the value of real estate developments in planning stage or still under construction. The approach is a deductive method to derive the market value of an undeveloped project according to its construction/development progress and represents the amount a market participant would be willing to pay for the property (land). The approach is based on the assumption that the market value of an ongoing project can be derived from an indicative market value less the anticipated costs for the realisation of the project (e.g., construction, marketing, financing costs).

According to CBRE, the German real estate market was affected by heightened geopolitical tensions, low economic growth, and a "higher for longer" interest rate sentiment in the first half of 2024. These have increased the potential for constrained credit markets, negative capital value movements and continued volatility in some property markets which in turn is impacting on transactional activity.

Based on the above, a fair value decrease of EUR 134,065 thousand (for the six months ended June 2023: decrease by EUR 553,596 thousand) was recognised for the residential portfolio.

The fair values of the development portfolio decreased by EUR 96,336 thousand (for the six months ended June 2023, a decrease by EUR 188,007 thousand was recognised).

The following tables outline the key valuation parameters for residential properties as at 30 June 2024 and as at 31 December 2023.

The following table outlines the key valuation parameters for investment properties under construction (development) as at 30 June 2024 and as at 31 December 2023.

Valuation parameters for investment properties under construction 30 June 2024 31.12.2023

Project development costs (EUR/m²) 4,045 3,885
Capitalisation interest rate, weighted average (in %) 4.10 4.00

It is noted that according to the methodology applied in the valuations for the residential properties, the estimated cash flows for the first ten years are capitalised based on the discount rate basis. Cash flows effective from the eleventh year onwards are capitalised based on the cap rate basis. When applying the residual method on development projects, the market value of the development projects was determined by NAI Apollo by deducting all expected costs (construction, marketing, financing, etc.) from the final value of the completed project.

Sensitivity analysis

The main value drivers influenced by the market are the market rents and their development, current rent increases, the vacancy rate and interest rates. The effect of possible fluctuations in these parameters is shown separately for each parameter and group in the following table. Interactions between the parameters are possible but cannot be quantified due to the complexity of the interrelationships:

Investment properties – residential

Valuation parameters Change in para
meters
In EUR thousand Change in values
%
Average new letting rent (EUR/m²) 10% 258,973 6.32
Vacancy rate (%) 1% (59,063) (1.44)
Discount and capitalisation rate (%) 25bps (322,937) (7.89)

Assuming all other variables remain constant, a negative change in the parameters at the same percentage would have a similar impact on the value, albeit in the opposite direction.

Investment properties – project development (under construction)

Total balance 3,776,186 3,791,352

Effective on 17 April 2023, Adler Group S.A. AGPS Bondco, respectively, amended their bond terms. As part of these agreements, the existing financial covenants were replaced by a new financial covenant and maturity date of AGPS Bond 2017/2024 was extended until 31 July 2025. The issuers undertake to maintain a loan-to-value ratio of 87.5% until 31 December 2025 and 85% thereafter. The first covenant review date will be 31 December 2024 (and is hence not applicable as per 30 June 2024). The restructuring of these bonds is part of the Group's current recapitalisation plan (Note 9).

ADLER Real Estate GmbH (formerly: ADLER Real Estate AG) undertakes to not incur any financial indebtedness after the issue date of the bonds, and will also ensure that its subsidiaries will not incur any financial indebtedness after the issue date of the bonds (except for refinancing existing financial indebtedness), if immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional financial indebtedness (taking into account the application of the net proceeds of such incurrence), the following tests would not be met: (i) loan-to-value ratio (LTV) ≤ 60%; (ii) secured loan-to-value ratio ≤ 40%. Additionally, it is required from ADLER Real Estate GmbH to maintain the consolidated coverage ratio at or above 1.80 to 1.00 for any reporting date on or after 1 January 2021.

As at 30 June 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants.

J. Other loans and borrowings

In June 2024, a Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with a German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 76.839 thousand by more than four years until October 2028. Also in June 2024, a different Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with another German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 48.250 thousand by more than four years until December 2028. Consequently, the respective bank loans have been presented as non-current.

The carrying amount of the New Money Facility 04/2023 including the accrued payment-in-kind (PIK) amounts to EUR 1,033,887 thousand (31 December 2023: EUR 941,930 thousand) and has been presented as current as it matures on 30 June 2025. The extension of the New Money Facility is part of the Group's comprehensive recapitalisation, which is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions.

As at 30 June 2024, other loans and borrowings of Adler Group (excluding IFRS 5) carry an average effective interest rate (i.e., considering the swap interest hedging effect from variable to fixed interest) of 7.92% per annum including the New Money Facility (as at 31 December 2023: 7.59 percent). The average maturity of other loans and borrowings including the New Money Facility is 2.0 years (as at 31 December 2023: 2.1 years)

Almost all loans are secured by assets (investment properties and inventory properties, financial assets, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents).

As at 30 June 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants.

Revenue other 1,526 4,876
Total 166,986 192,776

The sale of Ostplatz Leipzig Work & Life (Ostforum) was reversed due to the withdrawal of the sales agreement with Ampega in Q2 2024. Based on the withdrawal, no enforceable rights exist any longer and revenue recognition according to IFRS 15 cannot be applied anymore. All IFRS 15 postings were reversed in Q2 2024. As a result, the amount of EUR 37.6 million was derecognised from contract assets, EUR 30 million was recognised as negative revenue and EUR 7.6 million as other expenses. The previously recognised provision for contingent losses for the project (EUR 10 million) has been reversed and booked to cost of operation. The reversal resulted in an increase in inventories based on the amount of contract assets (EUR 37.6 million), which resulted in a total value of inventories of EUR 49.3 million in Q2 2024. As NAI valued this project at EUR 31.5 million, an additional write-off of EUR 17.8 million was recorded.

Disaggregation of revenue

Note 9 – Material events in the reporting period and subsequent events

1. On 23 January 2024, Adler Group S.A. confirmed that it will continue its restructuring path as planned. This followed the decision by the Court of Appeal of England and Wales on 23 January 2024 to set aside the Sanction Order made by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales on 12 April 2023. Pursuant to the Sanction Order, the bonds issued by AGPS BondCo plc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adler Group, were amended as of 17 April 2023. Since then, the amended bond terms have formed the basis of the Adler Group's ongoing liabilities, and the appellants in April 2023 did not apply for the appeal to have a suspensive effect on the Sanction Order. The implementation of the restructuring in April 2023 was carried out in accordance with German law and therefore the terms and conditions of the bonds remain valid regardless of the decision by the Court of Appeal to set aside the Sanction Order. The Court of Appeal's decision was made following a hearing lasting several days at the end of October 2023. While Adler Group respects the decision of the Court of Appeal to set aside the Sanction Order, the decision has no impact on the Adler Group or the effective amendments to the bond terms.

2. Pursuant to a decision of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. ("TASE"), the shares of BCP were transferred to the TASE maintenance list on 31 January 2024.

3. On 19 February 2024, Prof. Dr. A. Stefan Kirsten resigned from his office as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Adler Group S.A. with immediate effect for health reasons and left the Board. This was announced by the Company following an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors. Stefan Brendgen, member of the Board, assumed the office of Chairman of the Board of Directors.

4. On 28 February 2024, BCP completed the issuance of a new listed series of bonds (Series D) with a total scope of approximately ILS 360 million (equivalent to EUR 91.4 million). The bonds are linked to the CPI and are subject to a fixed interest rate (which is also linked to the CPI) of 5.05%.

5. On 27 March 2024, Adler Group announced the completion of the sale of the Wasserstadt Tankstelle development project in Berlin. The buyer is the Hilpert Group, headquartered in Würzburg. The property was leased to a petrol station until 2022 and is therefore the last undeveloped part of Wasserstadt Berlin. The transaction, which was signed in December 2023, generated net proceeds in the double-digit millions for the Adler Group. The transaction contributed to the declared goals of further reducing the Group's debt in 2024 and beyond, as well as focusing operationally on the residential rental portfolio.

6. On 25 April 2024, Adler Group announced that it is currently in advanced negotiations with a steering committee of bondholders ("SteerCo") to, among other plans, refinance and extend existing financial indebtedness, partially subordinate existing financial indebtedness and issue instruments representing majority voting control in Adler Group to bondholders. These discussions resulted in a non-binding agreement in principle and the parties were aiming for a lock-up agreement ("Lock-up Agreement") to be signed with the members of the SteerCo and further bondholders of the Group in due course.

7. On 30 April 2024, Adler Group announced the sale of the development project FourLiving VauVau & Mensa located in Leipzig. Following the positive council resolution passed by a clear majority on 24 April 2024, the City of Leipzig notarised its acceptance of the offer and acquired the project located on Prager Strasse with a gross floor area of around 37,900 square metres and an area of around 1.5 hectares. The transaction, which was signed on 26 April 2024, generated net proceeds of around EUR 26 million at a sales price of EUR 27 million. In the challenging market environment, Adler Group sold the project at a discount of around 5% on the gross asset value as at 31 December 2023. The transaction closed in May 2024.

8. On 24 May 2024, Adler Group announced that Mr Matthias Moser is to be proposed as a new Board member at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 25 June 2024. This proposed appointment follows the resignation of Prof. Stefan A. Kirsten in February 2024. Dr. Heiner Arnoldi and Thomas Zinnöcker also tendered their resignations with effect as of the upcoming AGM.

Matthias Moser is a graduate economist and an expert in real estate and finance with more than 30 years' experience. He has held a number of appointments as executive, non-executive and advisor roles in various companies, including most recently Domicil Real Estate AG, SüdeWo GmbH and GBW Immobilien AG.

Following the AGM's approval of the appointment on 25 June 2024, the Board of Directors consists of five members. The Board is therefore composed as follows: Stefan Brendgen (Chairman), Thierry Beaudemoulin (CEO), Thomas Echelmeyer (CFO), Matthias Moser and Thilo Schmid.

9. On 24 May 2024, Adler Group announced that it had entered into a binding Lock-Up Agreement with the Steer-Co supporting a comprehensive recapitalisation of the Group. The Lock-Up Agreement was signed by bondholders representing more than 60% of the 2L Senior Secured Notes ("2L Notes") issued by Adler Group's subsidiary AGPS BondCo plc.

The first component of the agreement is to extend the existing Group debt maturities to December 2028, December 2029, and January 2030. The second component is to strengthen Adler Group's equity by approx. EUR 2.3 billion which is expected to be achieved through the conversion of most of the existing 2L Notes into subordinated perpetual notes with terms consistent with equity classification under IFRS, thereby stabilising the Group's balance sheet. Together with the remaining reinstated 2L Notes of EUR 700 million, the perpetual notes form new notes, totalling approx. EUR 3 billion. Furthermore, Adler Group will be provided with up to EUR 100 million of fresh money through an increase in the existing 1L New Money Facility provided by a special purpose vehicle at the initiative of the bondholders. Additionally, the finance documents will provide for the ability to hold back disposal proceeds of up to EUR 250 million realised from April 2024, which would otherwise be applied in mandatory repayment of the existing 1L New Money Facility.

As part of the recapitalisation transaction, bondholders are to receive the majority in Adler Group's voting rights. Following the implementation of the transaction, all outstanding common shares are to represent 25% of Adler Group's total voting rights. The remaining 75% of total voting rights will be represented by the bondholders. All common shares continue to represent 100% of Adler Group's dividend distribution rights.

10. Effective on 31 May 2024, Hubertus Kobe, Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) and member of the Senior Management of Adler Group, decided to leave the Company. The position of the CRO will not be filled again.

11. On 18 June 2024, Adler Group announced that its bondholders cleared the way for the Group's comprehensive recapitalisation following a consent solicitation that was conducted after the binding agreement with a steering committee of bondholders had been announced on 24 May 2024. In the consent solicitation, more than 90% of the present and voting bondholders of each series approved the amendment of the terms and conditions of the senior secured notes issued by AGPS Bond-Co plc, a 100% direct subsidiary of Adler Group S.A. (the "Notes"). The 75% (present and voting) bondholder approval needed to implement the proposed amendments was far surpassed in each series of Notes, which underlines the strong and unified support received to effect certain amendments to the Notes (the "Proposed Amendments").

Adler Group stated that it will procure the implementation of the Proposed Amendments, which are subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions set out in the corresponding consent solicitation statement and will inform the bondholders as soon as the implementation conditions have been fulfilled or waived.

12. In June 2024, a Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with a German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 77 million by more than three years until October 2028. Also in June 2024, a different Berlin-based property company of Adler Group entered into an agreement with another German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 48 million by more than three years until December 2028.

Subsequent events

The Group evaluated transactions or other events in the financial statements that occurred between the reporting date 30 June 2024 and 28 August 2024 (the date of finalisation of the condensed interim financial statements), and classifies the following as subsequent events.

1. On 9 August 2024, the reconvened extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Adler Group approved the proposed amendments to the articles of association of Adler Group, including authorising the Board of Directors to issue voting securities representing 75% of the voting rights. With this approval, the EGM voted in favour of the recently announced comprehensive recapitalisation. Bondholders invested in the 2L Notes shall receive 75% of the voting rights of Adler Group. Such voting rights will not participate in the dividends of Adler Group. Adler Group expects to complete the comprehensive recapitalisation in the course of September 2024.

2. In August 2024, a group of Berlin-based property companies of Adler Group entered into an agreement with a German bank, according to which the latter extended a secured loan of approximately EUR 136 million by more than three years until October 2028.
