Peter Van Heukelom Retiring CEO 2014-2024

With Patrick, a remarkable talent with broad financial expertise takes the reins of a company in full evolution. His deep knowledge and extensive experience—gained over a particularly rich career at KBC Group across corporate banking, investment banking, acquisition finance, and wealth management—make him the ideal CEO to lead this new chapter, shaping the future direction of the Company while continuing its current operations.

Mark Suykens Chairman Board of Directors

With the appointment of Patrick Couttenier as the new CEO of Care Property Invest, we have made a deliberate choice for someone with broad banking and financial expertise, experience, and a strong affinity with financial markets and real estate investments.

In addition, his leadership experience with teams of varying sizes and his personality provide a solid foundation. Patrick also possesses excellent communication skills and brings extensive experience in leading and coaching professional staff within rapidly changing market conditions.

We are confident that Patrick is a worthy successor to Peter Van Heukelom and, together with the Care Property Invest team, will continue to build and grow the Company in the years to come.

About Patrick

Care Property Invest welcomed Patrick Couttenier as its new CEO as of 1 January 2025. He succeeded Peter Van Heukelom, whose mandate ended on December 31, 2024. Peter will remain actively involved as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Patrick Couttenier brings over 35 years of experience in the financial sector.

After earning a degree in Applied Economic Sciences, he completed an Executive MBA at the Flanders Business School. He began his career as an auditor at Arthur Andersen in 1990 and joined KBC in 1995, where he gained extensive experience and led various operations. His expertise lies primarily in corporate finance in the broadest sense, acquisition processes and financing, money and capital markets, private equity, and wealth management.

Patrick Couttenier

CEO as of 1 January 2025

A foreword. And of course an introduction

But a foreword would not be a foreword without an appropriate introduction of our brand-new CEO by:

2025 will be a year of strategic and practical preparations for a more promising investment climate in the upcoming financial years.

Dear shareholder

The year 2024 was once again marked by external factors that had a significant impact on the real estate sector. Early in the year, the escalating conflict in Gaza caused disruptions, while the war in Ukraine continued. These developments led to an increase in long-term interest rates by the summer. However, a decline in interest rates followed afterwards. The disinflation process, started in late 2022, continued in 2024, despite a flare-up in inflation in October, mainly caused by rising energy prices.

The election of President Trump in the autumn reignited concerns about rising inflationary pressures, which by the end of the year — and continuing into 2025 — led to a renewed increase in long-term interest rates. share price movements in 2024 were, as a result, characterised by high volatility. As the year drew to a close, this culminated in a broad sell-off of real estate shares, regardless of their specific risk profile or (anti-)cyclical nature, leading to falling share prices. The Care Property Invest's share reached a peak of €15.18 on 15 September and recorded its lowest price of €10.86 on 19 December..

2024 Letter to our shareholders

In summary, 2024 can be regarded as a challenging year for listed real estate players, driven by strong external factors such as geopolitical tensions, interest rate developments, and inflation expectations.

Despite this difficult environment, Care Property Invest achieved further growth of its portfolio and continued value creation in 2024, with particular attention to the efficient management of general and financial expenses. This once again translated into an increase in earnings per share, in line with the positive trend observed since the capital increase of January 2023.

In addition, the Company maintained sufficient access to additional funding to enable controlled growth. A conservative policy was applied to the hedging of interest rate risks, while retaining enough flexibility to partially benefit from the decline in short-term interest rates.

At the end of 2024, Care Property Invest said farewell to Peter Van Heukelom as CEO and to Willy Pintens as board member. Peter successfully succeeded in reorienting the company – originally established as Serviceflats Invest.

Since 2014, he realised a significant expansion of the portfolio with residential care centres in Belgium, followed by further international growth in the countries where Care Property Invest operates today. Willy has been a stable and important pillar of support for the Company's growth and development from his role on the Board of Directors.

We therefore express our sincere gratitude to Peter and Willy for their valuable contributions to the successful development of the Company over many years.

Financial results and portfolio growth

Nevertheless, in 2024 Care Property Invest completed six new buildings, including the Bloemendaal project (announced in 2024 but effectively acquired in mid-January 2025), representing a total investment volume of €64 million. As a result, the total portfolio value increased to €1.3 billion as at 31 December 2024.

Total rental income grew by 5.6% to €69.6 million, resulting in an EPRA earnings figure of €39.7 million (+4.7%), or €1.0747 per share. These results exceeded the expectations set at the end of 2023, partly thanks to a favourable evolution of interest expenses and operating costs.

The portfolio valuation remained stable, and the financial health and operational profitability of the operators within our buildings developed positively, despite the ongoing challenges of a tight labour market.

In line with our strategy to distribute a stable and - if justified - increasing dividend to our shareholders, the Company proposes to once again grant a gross dividend of €1.00 per share for the 2024 financial year. This corresponds to a consolidated pay-out ratio of 93%. After deduction of withholding tax at the reduced rate of 15%, shareholders will receive a net dividend of €0.85 per share.

Strategy and outlook

Within the current market context, Care Property Invest continues to focus on the countries in which it is currently active: Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland. These geographies, and the existing relationships with our clients there, offer sufficient growth potential for the near future.

At the same time, the Company aims to safeguard its conservative risk profile and its position as a return-oriented share, without losing sight of relevant growth opportunities. Based on strict financial discipline, different scenarios will always be analysed.

With this approach, we aim to explicitly meet the expectations of retail shareholders while also offering an attractive investment profile to institutional parties who wish to build a targeted allocation in high-quality healthcare real estate with us — with an eye on returns that are proportionate to the business risk and long-term growth potential.

Growth must lead to shareholder value within a reasonable timeframe and contribute to an increase in earnings per share. In the current market climate, this presents a challenge that we, as management and Board of Directors, approach with full confidence.

This conviction is reinforced by the persistently high demand for quality healthcare real estate in all our geographical markets. In addition, we continue to focus on the simplification of processes and further professionalisation of systems and tools, with the aim of increasing efficiency and optimally managing all operational risks.

Sustainability

Care Property Invest places great importance on sustainability and remains fully committed to pursuing its strategy in this area, even in light of recent regulatory developments. Despite the publication of the Omnibus proposal and the announced narrowing of the CSRD's scope of application, we remain committed to strengthening our sustainability reporting in line with this directive. We are closely monitoring further developments and will act in a timely manner where necessary to comply with applicable obligations. Our strategy, objectives and commitments remain unchanged. Sustainability continues to be a structural component of both our investment decisions and operational activities, with a long-term focus on responsible real estate management.

In 2025, we will further translate this policy into action by launching, among other initiatives, an action plan to carry out energy audits on the least energy-efficient buildings in our portfolio. Based on the results, we will identify concrete areas for improvement and develop targeted plans to enhance the energy performance of these buildings in a cost-efficient way.

We start from a strong position: the energy intensity of our portfolio is already more favourable than that of our direct peers. Furthermore, we are setting the bar high for 2030, with targets that are more ambitious than the sector average. These efforts reaffirm our commitment to achieving a net-zero portfolio by 2050 and further strengthening our position in sustainable healthcare real estate.

Bloemendaal (NL) - Fleurâge

Governance

A change in the composition of the Board of Directors is on the agenda in 2025. Based on a thorough analysis of the competences needed for further international growth in these challenging market conditions, management and the current Board of Directors prepared for the selection process to appoint three new directors. Nominated at the General Meeting on 28 May 2025, they bring together a powerful combination of extensive industry knowledge, international experience in the healthcare and real estate sector and insights and broad experience in governance.

They have the necessary competencies as directors to support the Company and its policies in the coming years.

Key Take-Aways

In 2025, geopolitical tensions and a number of political and economic decisions in the United States, Russia, Europe and other regions will continue to cause considerable uncertainty. The impact on macro-economic parameters such as inflation, economic growth and interest rates will remain largely unpredictable.

Against this complex backdrop, Care Property Invest continues to focus on sustainable growth and the further expansion of its portfolio in a financially sound manner. Respect for the debt ratio and the realisation of steady long-term shareholder value growth remain central to this strategy.

The remuneration policy has also been aligned accordingly. Each member of the recently expanded management team has decided to purchase additional Care Property Invest shares, thereby building greater personal participation. This brings management's interests even more in line with those of shareholders and underlines the long-term commitment to profitable growth.

The demand for new and additional healthcare real estate in the countries where Care Property Invest operates remains significant for the years ahead. The relatively modest size of the portfolio compared to larger market players does not pose an obstacle to continued growth. Care Property Invest enjoys the continued support of relationship banks and can turn to the capital markets when conditions are deemed favourable.

The real estate portfolio is of high quality, with best-in-class energy performance. The recently announced relaxations in European regulations on sustainability reporting and audits will not distract Care Property Invest from its strategic focus on energy-efficient and future-oriented buildings.

Moreover, the public sector still accounts for 25% of our revenues, contributing to the maintenance of our conservative risk profile. The average remaining duration of lease contracts exceeds fourteen years, while rental income is inflation-proof due to indexation under our triple net lease agreements.

Finally, we already have a positive outlook on the distribution of a stable dividend in 2025, subject to a 15% withholding tax rate, supported by Care Property Invest's full focus on healthcare real estate. We are confident that the Company will continue to represent a solid and valuable investment in the coming years, despite the volatile economic climate.

Our approach to sustainable Growth

A demographic challenge to which we offer an answer

Europe is facing an enormous demographic challenge. In the coming decades, the number of elderly people in the EU in need of care, and consequently the demand for high-quality care infrastructure, will increase exponentially. Care Property Invest wants to offer a suitable answer to these challenges.

A clear mission

And that is to invest in high-quality real estate solutions for seniors and people with disabilities in Europe. We acquire, build and renovate high-quality healthcare real estate (residential care centres, groups of assisted living apartments, housing complexes, etc.) and help healthcare entrepreneurs develop their projects in an optimally organised manner and at the best possible prices. We do this in the most sustainable way and from a solid organisation, in close consultation with all stakeholders and completely tailored to the end users. In this way, we guarantee all future residents care security and living comfort.

An attractive investment

At the same time, we want to be sure that our shareholders realise the return they deserve. As the first public Regulated Real Estate Company (public RREC) under Belgian law, Care Property Invest pursues an attractive long-term return. Because our real estate portfolio consists entirely of healthcare real estate, shareholders only pay 15% withholding tax.

Those who navigate current uncertain market conditions with agility, lay the foundation for future growth.

Challenging market conditions, but access to financing (both equity and debt) remains intact. The strategy is to continue growing, but only if earnings per share increase in the short term, while keeping a 50% debt ratio in mind. Agility is key.

Growth Strategy and potential

Interest rate evolution

Company is well hedged for the short and medium term, leaving some room to benefit from short-term interest rate declines.

Balance sheet/ Leverage

Leverage is slightly higher than some of our competitors, but this is mitigated by the share of income deriving from the public sector in the portfolio and the difference between the statutory debt ratio (RREC Royal Decree) and the EPRA LTV. Overall, leverage remains conservative.

Portfolio quality

Above-average portfolio quality (age, energy efficiency, overall quality, etc.).

Portfolio valuation

Few market transactions. Minor impact in 2024. No change in risk profile in the event of any valuation adjustment. Valuation remains stable given the quality of the portfolio.

Recession risk

Business model based on demographic trends. Basic needs and demand are visible for the coming years. Income is inflation-proof.

Scale

The Company has access to opportunities in the market. its scale enables a flexible operational dynamic and is not a barrier to accessing financing. However, the strategy is to increase scale, among other things to enhance the liquidity of the stock.

Dividend stability for shareholders

Enablers

High population ageing rate

Increasing demand for high-quality healthcare real estate is driven by the growing group of elderly people in our four target markets.

Structural shortage of healthcare real estate There is already an existing shortage of energyefficient care homes in Europe. Private and public operators do not have sufficient investment capacity to fill the gap themselves.

High demand for future-proof healthcare real estate The attractiveness of an investment increasingly depends on its future-proofing and therefore on certain ESG criteria (such as CO₂ reduction and social impact).

30 years of experience in investing in and

developing healthcare real estate All our decisions and activities are based on 30 years of experience. The necessary competencies and experience are present in the Company.

Investments with a relatively low risk profile and relatively high returns in uncertain times offer good opportunities

Healthcare real estate offers a stable, indexable rental income with long-term leases, guaranteeing an attractive return.

Efficient platform - basis for growth

Relatively limited scale leads to

  • Agility
  • 'Lean and mean' structure • Scalability

to us. We strive for transparency in all circumstances and act in accordance with social and ethical standards and legal regulations. We want to build sustainable relationships and have a positive impact on society. Sincerity is a crucial core value in this respect.

Drivers

  • Careful selection of projects based on, among other things, the correct price-quality ratio, location, yield, etc.
  • Careful selection of target markets based on yield, maturity, risk
  • Selectivity based on future-proof portfolio is key
  • (young buildings, good EPC scores, etc.)
  • Pure player with 100% healthcare real estate

  • Diversification of financing, both nationally and internationally.
  • Limitation of liquidity risks
  • Strong hedging of interest rate risks.
  • No collateral on real estate in the portfolio

Financial structure

Strong solvency and liquidity remain key for sustainable dividend payout and portfolio growth

Stable income streams thanks to

Approximately 25% of our rental flows still result from Belgian government contracts. A unique position as a RREC. Our leases place maintenance and insurance obligations upon our tenants.

They also take responsibility for any tax obligations.

The stable and predictable cash flow is crucial for financing new investments and paying dividends.

Integrity Professionalism

Our government contracts are backed by strong guarantees and are an important part of our defensive risk profile due to these guaranteed cash flows.

Careful selection of solid tenants ensures limited risk of defaults.

Professionalism

In addition, we have an available capacity on credit lines as at 31 December 2024 of €55 million.

(additional credit lines totalling €30 million were entered into in 2025). We therefore have sufficient access to capital (equity and debt). The strategy is to grow further, provided this contributes to increased earnings per share (EPS) within 3 years, aiming for a debt ratio of up to 50%.

Integrity

With our sustainable dividend policy, we aim to provide stable returns for our shareholders based on responsible financial policies. We aim for long-term value creation, even in challenging market conditions, to underline our reliable and ethical business practices.

Contracts with public sector Triple net contracts

Adjusted EPRA earnings of €1.07 per share, an increase of 4.67%

Healthy operational profitability translates into an increase in adjusted EPRA earnings from €38.0 million in 2023 to €39.8 million in 2024. This means adjusted EPRA earnings per share of €1.07 for 2024 compared to €1.03 last year This increase is largely explained by the increased rental income described before, combined with a very high occupancy rate (100%).

Professionalism

– combined with meticulous financial management, prudent interest rate hedging and strict cost control – was key to delivering this positive result.

Contractually, we are fully hedged against any vacancies. But we also enjoy very high real occupancy rates in each of our target markets, strengthened by an ageing population.

A strong real occupancy rate of 93.43% on average and an interest collection rate of 99%

Through ongoing dialogue and joint efforts to create sustainable living and care environments, we generate value for our partners, residents and shareholders'.

I.

Risk factors

The strategy of Care Property Invest is aimed at creating stability for the investors, in terms of both dividends and income in the long term.

The Executive Committee and the Board of Directors are aware of the specific risks associated with the management of the Care Property Invest property portfolio and aim for optimal management of these and to limit them as far as possible. The list of risks which are described in this section is not exhaustive. Most of these factors relate to uncertain events that could occur.

Based on the ESMA guidelines on risk factors under the Prospectus Regulation, the Company(1) has, on the one hand, limited itself to those risk factors that apply specifically to it and therefore not to the entire real estate sector, RREC sector or all listed companies and, on the other hand, to those that are also material.

General, non-material or other unknown or improbable risks or risks which, on the basis of the information currently available, are not assumed to have an adverse effect on the Company or on its activities or financial situation, may exist.

(1) The term 'Company' refers to Care Property Invest nv in this annual report.

Care Property Invest is of the opinion that the factors described below reflect the main risks currently associated with the Company and its activities. The order in which the risk factors are listed is an indication of the importance, per category (in relation to the probability that they will occur and the expected scale of the adverse effect) of the risk factors. However, the order of the categories does not provide an assessment of the importance of the categories themselves or the relative importance of the risk factors listed within one category compared to the risk factors listed in another category. It should also be noted that risk management is not an exercise only conducted at certain intervals, but an integral part of the way in which Care Property Invest is managed on a daily basis.

The main risk factors that Care Property Invest faces are the subject of regular and daily monitoring by the risk manager, the effective leaders and the Board of Directors, who have defined a prudent policy in this respect, which they will update regularly if necessary. This ranges from daily financial and operational management, analysis of new investment projects and formulating the strategy and objectives to laying down strict procedures for decision-making. Understanding and protecting against/eliminating risks arising from both internal and external factors is essential in order to achieve a stable total return in the long term.

Since 2019, the Company has an audit committee whose role is to monitor the efficiency of the Company's risk management systems.

This risk can be described as the risk of concentration of tenants or investments in one or more buildings in relation to the overall real estate portfolio.

In accordance with the RREC legislation the Company is required to limit these risks and to spread its risks by respecting a diversification of its real estate on a geographical level, per type of property and per tenant. Article 30 of the RREC legislation provides that 'no transaction performed by the Public RREC may result in (1°) more than 20% of its consolidated assets being invested in real estate forming a single real estate unit; or (2°) this percentage increasing further if it already amounts to more than 20%, regardless of the cause, in the latter case, of the original overrun of this percentage'. This restriction applies at the time of the action concerned. For the application of this article, 'real estate unit' refers to one or more non-current assets or assets held within the context of exercising the activities referred to in Article 4 with an investment risk that should be considered as a single risk for the public regulated real estate company. If the

Company exceeds the 20% diversification

rule, it may not make any investments, divestments or take other actions that could result in a further overrun of this percentage. In other words, this limits the possibilities of the Company in relation to additional investments or divestments. The reason for this is that excessive exposure to an operating tenant also entails excessive exposure to the risk of that tenant's insolvency (see '2.1 Risks associated with the solvency of lessees' on page 28).

In view of the dynamism of the large groups of operators active in the sector of accommodation for senior citizens and the consolidation that has been underway in the sector for several years, one or more concentrations between two or more groups that are affiliated to legal entities with which the Company has contracted rental or longterm lease contracts cannot be ruled out. This could potentially impact the diversification level of the lessees.

As at 31 December 2024, the three largest operators within the Company's real estate portfolio, calculated as the fair value of the leased real estate in relation to the Company's consolidated assets (including finance leases at fair value) are as follows:

  • Colisée (Armonea): 13.78% • Vulpia Care Group: 11.14% • Korian: 7.76%
  • As at 31 December 2024, the ratio of the fair value of the three largest investment properties compared to the Company's consolidated assets (including finance leases at fair value) was as follows:
  • Résidence des Ardennes (Attert BE) operated by My-Assist: 3.77% • Les Terrasses du Bois (Watermael-Boitsfort - BE) - operated by Colisée
  • (Armonea): 2,97% • Westduin (Westende - BE) - operated by
  • Colisée (Armonea): 2.86%

In terms of rental income, as at 31 December 2024, the Company's three largest private tenants expressed as a percentage of the consolidated rental income are as follows:

  • Colisée (Armonea): 13.48%
  • Vulpia Care Group: 10.70%
  • Korian: 7.67%

The top three largest rental incomes derived from a single real estate unit, expressed as a percentage relative to the consolidated rental income as at 31 December 2024 are as follows:

  • Résidence des Ardennes (Attert BE) operated by My-Assist: 3.63%
  • Les Terrasses du Bois (Watermaal-Bosvoorde - BE) - operated by Colisée (Armonea): 3.21%.
  • Forum Mare Nostrum I (L'Alfàs del Pi ES) - operated by Forum de Inversiones Inmobiliarias Mare Nostrum: 3.27%.

1.1.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns a sharp diminution in income or cash flows in the event of the departure of a tenant, which in turn has an impact on the profitability of the Company and the possibility of paying dividends or at least maintaining the level of these. The impact could be strengthened by a fall in the fair value of the real estate and consequently, a fall in the net active value (NTA) in the event of a concentration of investments in one or more buildings (see also below under risk factor '2.2 Risks associated with negative changes in the fair value of the buildings' on page 30).

The Company assesses the probability of the risk materialising as low. If the risk materialises, the negative impact would be moderate.

1.1.3 Limiting factors and management of the risk

Care Property Invest strictly follows the statutory diversification rules in this regard, as provided in the RREC legislation. The Company did obtain permission from the FSMA to take account of the fair value of the finance leases in the denominator in the calculation of the ratio of the concentration risk instead of the book value. The Company has no opportunities to expand its activities to sectors other than healthcare real estate, which means that diversification at sectoral level is not possible, although this is possible on geographical level.

Care Property Invest aims for a strongly diversified lessee base. At the close of the financial year, the largest lessee accounted for 13.48% of the total revenue, spread over several sites (see diagram '2.3 Distribution of income received from rental and long lease agreements per operator' on page 213 in Chapter 'IV. Real estate report'). Furthermore, the Company's real estate portfolio already has a good spread over 151 sites, with the largest site representing less than 5% of the fair value of the portfolio (see diagram '2.2 Distribution of the number of projects per operator' on page 213 in Chapter 'IV. Real estate report').

The Company estimates the residual risk, taking account of the limiting factors of the risk and management of the risk as described above, associated with the concentration risk, as low in terms of probability and as moderate in terms of impact.

Care Property Invest's strategy is aimed at creating stability for investors, both in terms of dividends and long-term income.

2. Operational risks

2.1 Risks associated with the solvency of lessees

2.1.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk of a (partial) default and/or bankruptcy of tenants, lessees or leaseholders. In other words, the Company is exposed to the risk that its tenants, lessees and leaseholders default as a result of (for example) a deterioration of the debt collection rate, a decrease of the occupancy rate (or even vacancy), increased (energy and food) costs, increased indexation of rent, interest costs and wages due to increased inflation.

2.1.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns, on the one hand, a sudden, unexpected diminution in rental income due to a deterioration in the debt collection rate or a fall in the occupancy rate, and, on the other hand, rising commercial costs for re-letting if the insolvency of tenants leads to vacancy. There is a risk that if the relevant tenants, lessees, or long-term leaseholders remain in default, the guarantee will not suffice and the Company will consequently bear the risk of being unable to recuperate sufficient amounts, if any. This all has an impact on the profitability of the Company and the capacity to distribute dividends or at least to maintain the level of these. The impact on the Company's results will of course also depend on the relative size of the operator within the Company's real estate portfolio. The smaller the share of the operator within the Company's real estate portfolio, the smaller the impact on the Company's results (see also risk factor '1.1 Risks associated with the concentration risk' on page 25).

The loss of rental income may also have a negative impact on the valuation of the real estate concerned (see also risk factor '3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 37). If the tenants, lessees, and leaseholders concerned default for a long period, these agreements will eventually end prematurely, resulting in no rental income during the period in which a new tenant needs to be found. In addition, there is a risk that the new tenant will only be willing to rent the healthcare property at a lower rent and/or on different lease terms, resulting in a change in the future rental income potential. This could have a negative impact on the Company's future revenue and cash flows.

A gloomy economic climate, high inflation or other factors that could materially affect the cost structure (both general and financial costs) and thus the tenants' ability to pay, could also lead to renegotiations with existing tenants on current lease agreements (read: rent reductions, which would also have the effect of changing the future revenue potential). For example, a pandemic (such as COVID-19) could lead to an increase in the number of vacant beds, as well as regulatory changes that could put pressure on the operator's cost structure.

In the course of the 2024 financial year, a non-material amount of €114,339 in rental arrears was transferred to doubtful debtors and written off (out of a total of €69,613,592 in rental income). As at 31 December 2024, a loss of €1,000,000 in rent for any reason, be it due to default by one major operator or default by multiple operators, would negatively affect earnings per share by approximately €0.0270.

The Company estimates the probability of the risk materialising as moderate. If the risk manifested itself, the negative impact would be high.

2.1.3 Limiting factors and management of the risk

The Company arms itself against these risks on different levels. For the projects in the initial portfolio((1)) , the costs in the event of a possible insolvency of an operator (in this case a public centre for social welfare (OCMW/ CPAS)) are hedged by the municipal guarantee fund. For the investment property portfolio, the guarantees usually consist of one or several of the following: bank guarantees, corporate guarantees (by solvent group entities) and/or a right to include a pledge on the relevant operator's receivables. As at 31 December 2024, the total amount of bank guarantees/rental deposits amounted to €21,275,832.

Beersel (BE) I Ter Beuken

(1) The initial portfolio relates to the financial leases (with as at 31/12/2024 a balance sheet value (finance lease receivables) of €156,518,610 and a generated rental stream of €17,162,009) that the Company entered into until 2014.

However, it is not always feasible to enforce certain securities (e.g. a mortgage), and the risk also always remains that, if the relevant tenant, lessee or lease holder defaults for a long period, the guarantees are not sufficient and the Company consequently bears the risk of not being able to recover anything or not enough.

A carefully selected portfolio of operators with a balanced spread further provides for an excellent spread of risks. The solvency of the tenants is thoroughly screened before inclusion in the portfolio.

The Company aims to expand its portfolio via long-term contracts with stable and solvent first-class tenants. Before investing in a particular healthcare property, a thorough analysis is conducted of the business plan of the operator and certain ratios that reflect the economic viability of the project. On a half-yearly or quarterly basis, the Company also monitors the financial position of the operators and reviews a number of operational parameters that the operators are required to provide on the basis of the provisions of the rental agreements or lease contracts.

Nevertheless, it estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors of the risk and management of the risk as described above, as moderate in terms of probability and high in terms of impact.

2.2 Risks associated with negative changes in the fair value of the buildings

2.2.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the exposure of the Company to a potential fall in the fair value of its real estate portfolio, as a result of a revaluation of the real estate portfolio or otherwise.

The Company is also exposed to the risk of a diminution in the value of the real estate in its portfolio as a result of:

  • wear and tear or damage due to ordinary, structural and technical obsolescence and/or damage caused by tenants;
  • errors during the acquisition of the property (e.g. erroneous plans and/or erroneous measurements, assumptions and parameters used during the initial valuation of the property are incorrect causing the valuation to be incorrect);
  • increasing vacancy rates (e.g. due to an oversupply of healthcare real estate or the impact of unexpected circumstances such as the COVID-19 crisis);
  • the failure to meet increasing (legal or commercial) requirements in terms of sustainable development, cyclical or market conditions, among others;
  • buying real estate at a too high price compared to the underlying value, or selling them at a too low price compared to the underlying value (e.g. by investing or divesting during an unfavourable moment in the investment cycle);
  • rent reduction due to (indirectly) an incorrect business plan;
  • unpaid rents (see also risk factor '2.1 Risks associated with the solvency of lessees' on page 28);
  • a decrease in rent prices when concluding new leases or renewing existing leases (see also risk factor '2.1 Risks associated with the solvency of lessees' on page 28);
  • a change in the taxation of the sale of real estate (e.g. the transfer tax in Flanders on the sale of real estate, which has changed since 1 January 2022);
  • the increase of interest rates and also the market yields, being the returns achieved expressed as rental income divided by the conventional value.

2.2.2 Potential impact for the Company

The impact of a fall in the fair value is a fall in the Company's equity, which has a negative impact on the debt ratio. If the fair value of the buildings as at 31 December 2024 were to fall by €320.0 million, or 31.5% of the fair value of the investment properties as at 31 December 2024, this would result in the Company's debt ratio rising to 65% (see also '3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 37).

If the cumulative changes in the fair value exceed the distributable reserves, there is a risk of partial or total inability to pay dividends.

The Company monitors its debt ratio and the evolution of the fair value of its investment properties on a regular basis (see also risk factor '3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 37). The Company also runs the risk that, as a result of the application of Article 7:212 BCCA, it would no longer be able to pay the anticipated dividend.

Carabanchel, Madrid (ES) I Emera Carabanchel

If the Company conducts a transaction, through investment or disinvestment in real estate, it also runs the risk that it will not identify certain risks on the basis of its due diligence inquiries or that, even after performing due diligence inquiries and an independent real estate assessment, it will acquire or sell real estate for too high or too low a price in relation to the underlying value, for example by conducting transactions at an unfavourable moment in an economic cycle.

The Company estimates both the residual risk and the negative impact when the risk materialises as moderate.

2.2.3 Limiting factors and management of the risk

Care Property Invest therefore has an investment strategy aimed at high quality assets that offer a stable income and provides for adequate monitoring of its assets, combined with a prudent debt policy.

The real estate portfolio (more specifically, the part shown as real estate investment) is valued by a real estate expert every quarter. The lease receivables portfolio is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 and the book value is not subject to negative variations due to the value of the property itself, but rather due to an increase in market interest rates. A value fluctuation of 1% of the real estate portfolio would have an impact of about €10.2 million on the net results, of about €0.27 on the net result per share and of about 0.41% on the debt ratio. This value fluctuation concerns a non-cash element that therefore, as such, has no impact on the adjusted EPRA Earnings, except in the case of a realisation that entails a net loss that is not exempt from distribution and therefore the Company's result for the payment of its dividend. In the event of accumulated negative variations, it is possible that the Company's ability to pay its dividend will come under pressure.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk as described above, as moderate in terms of probability and impact.

2.3 Risks associated with construction risk and developing projects for the purpose of leasing

2.3.1 Description of the risk

Development projects entail several risks, including the specific risks (i) that the necessary building permits are not granted or are protested, (ii) that the project is delayed or cannot be executed (resulting in reduced rental income, postponement or loss of expected rental income) or (iii) that the budget is exceeded due to unforeseen costs or high inflation.

2.3.2 Potential impact for the Company

In addition to investing in completed projects, which generate rental income in the short term, the Company also invests in development projects in order to expand its real estate portfolio. As at 31 December 2024, the Company has 3 (re)development projects in its portfolio, with a book value of €25.0 million (representing 2.45% of the total book value of investment properties). The cost-tocomplete(1) of 2 of the 3 projects amounts to €2.5 million with an estimated annual rental income of €1.1 million. For the third project (Hillegom), a solution is currently being worked on with a new developer.

The development of a building takes approximately 2 to 3 years on average depending on the country (including permit period). If there is a delay in obtaining the permit or in carrying out the works, this results in a proportionate delay in the budgeted rental income.

The Company estimates the probability of the risk materialising as moderate. If the risk materialises, the negative impact would be

2.3.3 Limiting factors and management

moderate. of the risk

Although the Company always strives to negotiate contracts that minimise the risks of large construction works (e.g. by always working on a fixed price basis for a development, the so-called turnkey formula, starting the acquisition only after obtaining the necessary permits, and including the necessary penalty clauses for late completion), this is not always feasible. And even if the Company has entered into a fixedprice development agreement, it is possible that, due to changing market conditions or as a result of a (solvency) failure (e.g. due to rising construction or energy costs), the developer may fail to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk as described above, as moderate in terms of probability and

impact.

(1) Additional investments to be made to complete ongoing project developments.

2.4 Risks associated with the expiry of financial leases

2.4.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the possibility of existing expiring financial leases not being renewed or being renewed at less favourable terms for the Company.

2.4.2 Potential impact for the Company

In addition to a portfolio of investment properties, the Company also has a portfolio of financial leases, with the first financial lease expiring in 2026 and the last financial lease expiring in 2043.

A complete loss of the rental income from the financial leases expiring from 2026 to 2030 (i.e. if no replacement investment is found) would have a negative impact on the EPS of €0.18 as at 31 December 2024 (without taking into account the positive impact of the repayment of the loans with the end-oflease payment that the Company will receive following the termination of the financial leases).

The Company estimates the possibility that these contracts cannot be renewed without replacement investment as low, and a reduction in rent due to the fact that the funds cannot be invested at the same yields as high.

2.4.3 Limiting factors and management of the risk

Notwithstanding the Company's endeavours to renew these financial leases, the potential impact of their termination is that the Company loses rental income, (i) if it is unable to finance new investments with the end-oflease payment it will receive as a result of the termination of the financial leases (however, the Company may use the funds received for e.g. the repayment of financings), or (ii) if the terms or modalities of any replacement investment are less favourable compared to the terminated financial lease..

In terms of residual risk, the Company assesses the possibility that these contracts cannot be renewed without replacement investment as low, and a reduction in rent due to the fact that the funds cannot be invested at the same yields as high.

3. Financial risk management

3.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to non-compliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters

3.1.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk of non-compliance with statutory or contractual requirements to comply with certain financial parameters under the credit agreements, which could lead to their cancellation or renegotiation.

The main covenants cover the following:

  • • A maximum debt ratio of 60%. As at 31 December 2024, the consolidated debt ratio of the Company was 47.73%, resulting in an available space of €369.8 million. The limitation of the debt ratio to 60% is included in the credit agreements for a total amount of €518,812,573 (of which, as at 31 December 2024, an amount of €379,812,573 was drawn or 67.1% of the total financial debts drawn). For more information on the debt ratio, reference is made to '3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 37.
  • An interest coverage ratio (being the operating result before the result on the portfolio, divided by the interest charges paid) of at least 2.5. As at 31 December 2024 the interest coverage ratio was 3.22 compared to 3.44 as at 31 December 2023. The Company's interest charges must increase by €5,187,618 or from €18,090,404 to €23,278,022 in order to reach the required minimum of 2.5.

However, severe and abrupt pressure on the operating result could jeopardise compliance with the interest coverage ratio parameter. The operating result before result on portfolio must fall by 22.3% from €58,195,055 to €45,226,009 before the limit of 2.5 is reached.

• A minimum consolidated portfolio size of €650 million.

In addition, the risk of early termination exists in the event of a change of control of the Company, in the event of a breach of 'negative pledge' or other covenants and obligations of the Company and, more generally, in the event of default as defined in these financing agreements. A default (it should be noted that certain instances of 'default' or breach of covenants, such as a change of control, included in all financing agreements, are outside the control of the Company) under one financing agreement may, pursuant to so-called 'cross acceleration' or 'cross default' provisions, additionally lead to defaults under other financing agreements (irrespective of the grant of any 'waivers' by other credit providers, in the case of a 'cross default' provision) and may thus lead to the mandatory early repayment by the Company of all such lines of credit.

3.1.2 Potential impact for the company

The potential impact concerns any cancellation of loans and damaged trust between investors and bankers on noncompliance with contractual covenants. It is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for the activities of the Company.

The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios, are not met. This could lead to liquidity problems, in view of the similar character in the covenants of the financial institutions of the maximum debt ratio or interest coverage ratio of a cumulative nature and could force the Company to liquidate fixed assets (e.g., sale of real estate) or to implement a capital increase or other measures in order to bring the debt level below the required threshold. There is also a possibility that the regulator will impose sanctions or tighter supervision in the event of failure to comply with certain statutory financial parameters (e.g., compliance with the statutory debt ratio, as laid down in Article 13 of the RREC RD).

The consequences for the shareholders could include (i) a reduction in the equity and, therefore, the net asset value (NAV), because a sale must take place at a price below that book value and (ii) a dilution can take place because a capital increase will have to be organised and this will have an impact on the value of the shares and the future dividend prospects.

The Company intrinsically estimates the probability of this risk factor as average. The impact of the intrinsic risk is also estimated as average to high.

Tilburg (NL) I Villa Maria

3.1.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

To mitigate these risks, the Company pursues a prudent financial policy with constant monitoring to meet the financial parameters of the covenants.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk and its control as described above, as moderate in terms of probability and moderate to high in terms of impact.

3.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio

3.2.1 Description of the risk

The Company's borrowing capacity is limited by the statutory maximum debt ratio of 65% which is permitted by the RREC Law. At the same time, thresholds have been set in the financing contracts concluded with financial institutions. The maximum debt ratio imposed by the financial institutions is 60% (see also '3.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to noncompliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters' on page 35).

The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios included in covenants, are not met. On exceeding the statutory maximum threshold of 65%, the Company runs the risk of losing its RREC certificate through withdrawal by the FSMA.

In general, it is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for activities of the Company.

As at 31 December 2024, the consolidated debt ratio amounted to 47.73%, compared to 46.65% as at 31 December 2023. As at 31 December 2024, the Company has an additional debt capacity of €594.8 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65% and of €369.8 million before reaching a debt ratio

of 60%.

The value of the real estate portfolio also has an impact on the debt ratio.

Taking account of the capital base as at 31 December 2024, the maximum debt ratio of 65% would be exceeded only with a potential fall in the value of the real estate portfolio of about €320.0 million, or 31.5% of the real estate portfolio of €1,015.3 million as at 31 December 2024. With a fall in the value of about €246.5 million, or 24.3% of the real estate portfolio, the debt ratio of 60% would be exceeded.

The Company does wish to note that it has contracted payment obligations for the unrealised part of the developments that it has already included in its balance sheet, representing €2.5 million. She has also entered into agreements whereby projects under suspensive conditions were acquired amounting to €10.1 million. As a result, as at 31 December 2024, the available capacity on the debt ratio amounts to €357.2 million before reaching a debt ratio of 60% and €582.2 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65%.

3.2.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns the risk that statutory sanctions may be imposed if certain thresholds are exceeded (including a prohibition of payment of a dividend) or that a breach of certain conditions of the financing contracts is committed.

Like all public RRECS, Care Property Invest is subject to tighter supervision by the supervisory authority of compliance with these maximum debt levels.

The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low and the impact of the intrinsic risk as high.

3.2.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

In this case too, it pursues a prudent financial policy with continual monitoring of all planned investments and earnings forecasts, and the coordination of the possibility of a capital increase under the forms permitted by the RREC legislation in order to avoid any statutory sanctions for exceeding this maximum limit at all times.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk as described above, related to the risk of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low in terms of probability and high in terms of impact.

3.3 Risks associated with the cost of the capital

3.3.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk of unfavourable fluctuations in interest rates, an increased risk premium in the stock markets and/or an increase in the cost of the debts.

3.3.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns a material increase in the weighted average cost of the Company's capital (equity and debts) and an impact on the profitability of the business as a whole and of new investments.

As at 31 December 2024, the fixed-interest and floating rate loans accounted for 19.04% and 80.96% of the total financial liabilities respectively. The percentage of floating-rate debt contracted that was converted into a fixed-rate instrument through a derivative instrument (relative to total financial liabilities) amounted to 66.33% as at 31 December 2024. The total hedge ratio thus amounted to 85.37%. As at 31 December 2023, it amounted to 94.32%.

Based on the outstanding credits as at 31 December 2024, if interest rates were to increase by 1%, the weighted average interest cost, on closing date, including interest rate swaps, would increase from 3.32% to 3.46%. This would result in an increase in the cost of capital of 0.07%, assuming the cost of debt is included for 50% in the cost of capital and assuming no change in the cost of equity.

A change in the interest curve of 1% (upward) would have an impact on the fair value of the credit portfolio of approximately €5.0 million. The conclusion relating to the impact of the change in the interest curve can be continued on a linear basis.

A 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would have a positive/negative impact on the global result statement via the variations in the fair value of financial assets/liabilities amounting to €0.622/€-0.672 per share but a negative/positive impact on the distributable result and also on the global result due to the increase/decrease of a part of the net interest costs exposed to the fluctuations in interest rates.

The increase in the required risk premium on the stock markets could result in a fall in the price of the share and make financing of new acquisitions more costly for the Company.

The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact of this risk as average.

(2) The new portfolio as referred to here refers to the finance leases (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2024 of €9,921,081 and a generated rental flow of €493,950) and the investment properties, (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2024 of €1,015,281,986 and a generated rental flow of €51,957,634), that the Company acquired after 2014.

3.3.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

With regard to the initial portfolio, Care Property Invest protects itself against interest rate rises through the use of fixed-interest contracts or swaps. For the initial portfolio(1), only the renewable loans at Belfius, amounting to €6,9 million, are subject to a limited interest risk, as these loans are subject to review every three years. For the new portfolio(2), the outstanding commercial paper of €84.0 million and various roll-over credits and term loans with variable interest rates with various financial institutions with an outstanding amount of €338.2 million as at 31 December 2024 are subject to changes in interest rates on the financial markets.

Care Property Invest aims to hedge itself against fixed interest rates for at least 80%. In this way the Company wishes to anticipate the risk that the increase in interest rates will be primarily attributable to an increase in real interest rates.

There are also 8 loans with revisable interest for the new portfolio, of which the total outstanding amount was €2.3 million as of 31 December 2024. Care Property Invest monitors movements in interest rates with close attention and will hedge itself timely against any excessively high increase in interest rates.

Further explanation on the credit lines are provided in Chapter VII. Financial Statements in 'Note 5: Notes to the consolidated financial statements' on page 291', 'T 5.9 Net interest charges' on page 296, 'T 5.27 Financial liabilities' on page 310 and 'T 5.16 Financial fixed assets and other non-current financial liabilities' on page 302. If the increase in interest rates results from an increase in the level of inflation, the indexation of the rental income also serves as a tempering factor, albeit only after the indexation of the lease agreements can be implemented, so that there is a delaying effect here.

In general, Care Property Invest aims to build up a relationship of trust with its bank partners and investors and maintains a continual dialogue with them in order to develop a solid long-term relationship.

Nevertheless, the Company continues to regard this risk as material.

3.4 Risks associated with the use of derivative financial products

3.4.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk of the use of derivatives to hedge the interest rate risk. The fair value of the derivative products is influenced by fluctuations in interest rates in the financial markets. The fair value of the derivative financial products amounted to €-176,988 as at 31 December 2024, compared to €4,002,391 as at 31 December 2023. The variation in their fair value amounted to €4,409,379 as at 31 December 2024.

3.4.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns the complexity and volatility of the fair value of the hedging instruments and consequently, also the net asset value (NAV), as published under the IFRS standards and also the counter-party risk in relation to partners with which we contract derivative financial products. The decrease in the fair value of the authorised hedging instruments amounting to €4,409,379 represents a decrease in the net result and in the net asset value (NAV) of €0.12, without having an impact on the adjusted EPRA Earnings and, therefore, the capacity of the Company to pay its proposed dividend. An increase in market interest rates by 1% results in an increase in the fair value of the derivative financial products amounting to €23,015,932 or €0.622 per share and an increase in the net asset value (NAV) also amounting to €0.622 per share. A fall in market interest rates by 1% results in a diminution in the fair value amounting to €-24,872,666 or €-0.672 per share and a fall in the net asset value (NAV) per share amounting to the same amount.

The Company assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact intrinsically as average.

3.4.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

All derivative financial products are held solely for hedging purposes. No speculative instruments are held. All derivative financial products are interest rate swaps. Care Property Invest also works only with reputable financial institutions (Belfius Bank, KBC Bank, BNP Paribas Fortis, ABN AMRO and ING).

The Company conducts frequent talks with these financial institutions on the evolution of the interest rates and the impact on the existing derivative financial products. The Company also monitors the relevant interest rates itself.

However, the current economic situation is causing increased volatility and pressure on interest rates so this monitoring becomes all the more important to counter volatility. In addition, it will not be certain that the Company will find the hedging instruments it wishes to enter into in the future, nor that the terms associated with the hedging instruments will be acceptable.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the mitigating factors and controlling the risk, as low in terms of probability and average in terms of impact.

4. Regulatory and other risks

Haacht (BE) I Klapgat

4.1 Risks associated with changes in the withholding tax rate

4.1.1 Description of the risk

In principle, the withholding tax amounts to 30%, with the possibility of a reduction or exemption from this rate.

RRECs of which at least 80% of the real estate consists of real estate located in a member state of the European Economic Area and used or intended exclusively or mainly for residential units adapted to residential care or healthcare, can benefit from a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% in accordance with the Law regulating the recognition and definition of crowdfunding and containing various provisions regarding finances (amended from time to time). Also, in accordance with Articles 116 and 118 §1, 6th of the Royal Decree/Income Tax Code (ITC) 92, the Company is exempt from withholding tax on income allocated to Belgian public regulated real estate companies.

The shareholders of Care Property Invest have enjoyed this reduced rate since 1 January 2017 as 100% of its real estate portfolio is invested in the senior housing sector.

There is a risk that, for budgetary or other reasons, (e.g., the expansion of the application scope of this exemption because other RRECs comply with this requirement) the government will scrap this exception and the general rate of 30% will become applicable or will be raised still further in its entirety.

4.2 Risks associated with inheritance tax

4.2.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk concerning the changes in the conditions for exemption from inheritance tax.

Subject to compliance with certain conditions, heirs of the shareholders enjoy an exemption from inheritance tax (Article 2.7.6.0.1. of the Flemish Codex (VCF)). The shares must have been in the possession of the holder for at least five years on the date of decease. In addition, the shareholder must have acquired the shares no later than the year 2005, excluding acquisition among spouses and heirs in the first degree, for which no exemption from inheritance tax has yet been granted.

The market value of the shares may be exempted up to a maximum of the issue price of €5.95. Likewise, the sum of the net dividends paid during the period in which the deceased or his or her spouse was the holder of the shares may also be exempted, in as far as the shares form part of the inheritance. This means an exempted amount of €20.36 per share at the year-end of 2024, assuming that a share was acquired on the IPO of the Company.

The last notice that the Company received from the banks pursuant to the promotor and formation agreement (BNP Paribas Fortis, VDK Bank, Belfius Bank, KBC, CBC and Bank Degroof Petercam) and its own register of shareholders show that 2,865,367 shares or 7.77% of the total number of outstanding shares were entitled to an exemption as at 31 December 2024. The Company wishes to draw attention to the fact that the number of shares entitled to the exemption is higher as some of its shares are held by other

financial institutions. As the exemption from inheritance tax for the future will be lost upon violation of the conditions, a current violation would mean that the total exemption base, based on the net dividend for the 2024 financial year and the last known eligible shares, would be reduced by €2,435,562. The final loss of exemption amount will further increase depending on the holding period of the shares in question.

4.2.2 Potential impact on the Company

The potential impact on the Company lies in the fact that its shareholders may claim against it if the permit is withdrawn due to an action of the Company in contravention of the recognition conditions. The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as low.

4.2.3 Limiting factors and management

of the risk

In this case too, Care Property Invest permanently monitors the statutory requirements and compliance with these within the team, with the support of specialised external advisers. It also maintains an intensive dialogue with the Flemish tax authority (Vlabel).

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk as described above, as low in terms of probability and moderate in terms of the size.

On the basis of the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Company will pay a gross dividend of €1.00 per share or a total of €36,988,833. An increase in the withholding tax from 15% to 30% would therefore mean an increase of €5,548,325 in the withholding tax to be withheld or a fall in the net dividend of €0.15, from €0.85 to €0.70 per share.

4.1.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns a negative influence on the net dividend for the shareholders that cannot recoup the withholding tax, which would make the Company less attractive as an investment and disrupt the contacts with the local authorities and charitable NPOs and would therefore have an impact on the current operating model in relation to these lessees (in connection with possible charging on to lessees - see below), for both existing and potential future investments. The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as low.

4.1.3 Limiting factors and management of the risk

  • (1) The initial portfolio relates to the finance leases (with as at 31/12/2024 a balance sheet value (finance lease receivables) of €156,518,610 and a generated rental flow of €17,162,009) that the Company entered into until 2014.
  • (2) The new portfolio as referred to here refers to the finance leases (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2024 of €9,921,081 and a generated rental flow of €493,950) and the investment properties (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2024 of €1,015,281,986 and a generated rental flow of €51,957,634) that the Company acquired after 2014.

For the lease receivables in the initial portfolio(1), Care Property Invest can absorb fluctuations in withholding tax and charge these on to its lessees, so that this risk does not exist for the shareholders. This part of the portfolio represents 24.7% of the total rental income.

For the new portfolio(2), no such clause is included. This means that the net dividend would amount to €0.74 per share in the event of the increase in the rental charges as a result of this contractual provision.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk associated with this risk factor as low in terms of probability and moderate in terms of impact.

4.3 Risks associated with the statute

4.3.1 Description of the risk

As a public RREC, the Company is subject to the RREC legislation, which contains restrictions regarding the activities, the debt ratio, the processing of results, conflicts of interest and corporate governance. The ability to (continually) meet these specific requirements depends inter alia on the Company's ability to successfully manage its asset and liability position and on compliance with strict internal audit procedures.

4.3.2 Potential impact on the Company

The Company may not be able to meet these requirements in the event of a significant change in its financial position or other changes. The Company is therefore also exposed to the risk of future amendments of the legislation on regulated real estate companies. There is also the risk that the FSMA, as the supervisory authority, will impose sanctions in the event of a violation of applicable rules, including the loss of the RREC status. If the Company were to lose its certificate as an RREC, it would no longer enjoy the different fiscal system for RRECs and the full taxable base for corporation tax would therefore become applicable. This would mean an additional corporation tax liability for Care Property Invest of about €9.0 million or approximately €0.24 per share. Furthermore, as a rule the loss of the permit for RREC status is noted in the Company's

credit agreements as a circumstance as a result of which the loans that the Company has contracted could become payable on demand. (See risk factor '3.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to non-compliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters' on page 35). Similarly, losing the RREC status would also prevent the Company from applying the reduced withholding tax rate of 15% on its dividends (see risk factor '4.1 Risks associated with changes in the withholding tax rate' on page 41).

In addition, the Company's activities have been internationalised (the Company has to date realised investments in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, and Ireland). This internationalisation implies an increased complexity of the legislative framework, including the foreign legislation of the country of investment and international (tax) law to which the Company is directly or indirectly (through a subsidiary) subject.

Subsidiaries of the Company that do not have the status of a RREC or a specialised real estate investment fund (GVBF) remain subject to corporate tax like any other Company, and to the extent that the Company directly owns real estate abroad, the Company may be subject to local taxes.

For its activities in Spain, the Company can apply the SOCIMI status ('sociedades cotizadas de inversión en el mercado inmobiliario') (similar to the RREC status in Belgium). For its activities in The Netherlands (excluding the activities of its subsidiaries Care Property Invest.NL10 B.V.(1) and Care Property Invest.NL11 B.V.(2)), it has been able to apply the FBI status ('fiscale beleggingsinstelling'), also similar to the RREC status in Belgium. However, in the Netherlands it was decided to abolish the FBI status as of 1 January 2025. Based on the figures for the 2024 financial year, this would mean an additional corporate income tax liability for Care Property Invest of approximately €1.0 million, or approximately €0.03 per share.

For its activities in Ireland, the application of a tax-favourable status appears to be ruled out, making these subject to local regular corporation tax.

In addition to the risk of a change in the tax framework specific to RRECs (GVV's), there is also a risk that the tax framework in the other countries in which the Company operates may change, for example with regard to the applicable tax regime and/or tax rates, or the interpretation or practical application of the underlying rules. This could lead to a higher tax burden for the relevant activities, or to discussions and proceedings with the competent tax authorities, which could give rise to procedural costs, penalties and default interest in addition to possible taxes due. The ultimate consequence of this could be that fewer dividends flow to the Company and thus fewer dividends could be distributed to the Company's Shareholders. An example of this is the abolition of the FBI status in the Netherlands as of 1 January 2025 (see above).

4.3.3 Limiting factors and management

of the risk

Care Property Invest therefore permanently monitors the statutory requirements and compliance with these within the team, with the support of specialised external advisers. It also has regular contacts with government authorities and regularly takes part in study days of associations and federations that represent the sector, such as the NPO BE-REIT Association, which it co-founded.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk, as low to moderate in terms of probability and high in terms of impact on the Company.

(1) As at the date of this document, the Company has not yet received official confirmation from the Dutch tax authorities that the FBI status is deemed applicable to Care Property Invest.NL10 B.V.

(2) The Company has not applied for the FBI status for Care Property Invest.NL11 B.V., given the announced abolition as of January 2025.

4.4 Climate related risks

4.4.1 Description of the risks

Care Property Invest may be exposed to potential physical climate risks due to rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and increasing temperatures. Although the current portfolio is located in relatively low-risk areas, climate change could pose long-term challenges, particularly in coastal regions of The Netherlands. Properties in Spain are less vulnerable to rising sea levels due to their altitude. Additionally, the projected rise in global temperatures, ranging from 1.5°C to 5°C by the year 2100, suggests an increased risk of heat waves, which southern European countries are already experiencing. This phenomenon is expected to intensify in central and northern Europe in the medium- and long-term.

Besides physical climate risks, failure to integrate sustainability into business operations can lead to transition climate risks. Given the increasing importance of sustainability for financial institutions and investors, this may result in increased financing costs and difficulties in attracting investors.

4.4.2 Potential impact on the Company

The potential impacts of these climate risks for Care Property Invest could be significant. With healthcare housing facilities primarily serving elderly individuals, who are particularly vulnerable to weather fluctuations, the lack of adequate climate control solutions could lead to decreased real estate values and difficulties in renting out units. Moreover, the heightened demand for climate control solutions could increase the energy intensity and carbon footprint of buildings, potentially adding operational costs and environmental concerns. In extreme cases, properties lacking effective climate control could face reduced attractiveness to tenants, impacting the company's revenue streams and overall financial performance.

Additionally, coastal flooding risks, especially in regions like The Netherlands, could exacerbate these challenges, underscoring the importance of proactive measures to enhance the resilience and sustainability of Care Property Invest's portfolio.

To assess the probability and impact of these risks, Care Property Invest appointed an independent third party to conduct a risk analytics study on our portfolio based on Value-at-Risk simulation methodologies. Based on this study, Care Property Invest assesses the probability of these risks as moderate in the very long term. If the risks materialise, the negative impact would be high.

4.4.3 Limiting factors and management of the risk

Care Property Invest has implemented various mitigating actions to address physical and transition climate risks. Building locations are carefully selected to minimise flood risk. Risk areas in The Netherlands are also proactively managed. Comprehensive insurance coverage and local government measures protect against potential floodrelated losses.

In new developments, Care Property Invest prioritises integrating air-conditioning and climate-control systems to minimise heat entry, utilising features like blinds and solar control glazing. The company aims to transition towards energy-independent buildings by incorporating renewable energy sources to mitigate carbon footprint risks.

Moreover, the Company has drafted a sustainable finance framework to support its sustainability initiatives, and environmental requirements and reporting compliance are permanently monitored.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e., taking account of the limiting factors and the management of the risk, as moderate in terms of probability and high in terms of impact on the Company.

1. Mission and strategy

1.1 Company values

Professionalism

Care Property Invest always executes both current and future projects after completing a detailed research process, conducted both internally and by external research agencies. As a result, it can make an accurate assessment of the potential risks associated with every project. The internal processes are also monitored closely and are adjusted on time where necessary to guarantee the smooth operation of the organisation. Care Property Invest aims for the highest possible form of professionalism in all its activities.

Integrity

Through integrity, Care Property Invest aims for a lasting relationship of trust with its shareholders, employees, operators of its care properties, contractors, the political world, the RREC sector and in general all parties that are directly or indirectly involved with the company.

Change-oriented

In a rapidly changing world, Care Property Invest aims to continuously improve its own working processes and structures. By proactively growing with change, the Company creates strong support for innovation and arms itself for the challenges of the future.

1.2 Mission: Building a Caring Future Together

Europe is facing an enormous demographic challenge. In the coming decades, the number of elderly people in the EU in need of care, and consequently the demand for high-quality care infrastructure, will increase exponentially. Care Property Invest wants to offer a suitable response to this.

Care Property Invest's mission is to invest in high-quality real estate solutions for the elderly and people with disabilities in Europe. We acquire, build and renovate high-quality care properties (residential care centers, groups of assisted-living residences, housing complexes, etc.) and help care entrepreneurs develop their projects in an optimally organised manner and at the best possible prices. We do this in the most sustainable way and from a solid organisation, in close consultation with all stakeholders and completely tailored to the end users. In this way, we guarantee all future residents care security and living comfort.

At the same time, we want to be sure that our shareholders realise the profit they deserve. As the first public Regulated Real Estate Company (public RREC) under Belgian law, Care Property Invest strives to achieve an attractive long-term return. Because our real estate portfolio consists entirely of healthcare real estate, shareholders only pay 15% withholding tax.

1.3 Investment opportunities

As a healthcare real estate investor, we achieve sustainable growth for all our stakeholders through following possible investment opportunities in both the public and private markets in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland.

Design Build Finance (financial leasing)

In a 'Design-Build-Finance' (DBF) formula, Care Property Invest is responsible for relieving the initiator completely by taking on the project development, from architecture, cooperation with contractors, project realisation and follow-up up to and including project financing.

The initiator gives a right of superficies (on a building plot or an existing building in need of renovation) to Care Property Invest for at least 32 years.

The Company fully relieves the initiator and is responsible for obtaining the necessary environmental permit for the construction of the project during the development and construction phase. Care Property Invest also supervises the progress of the work, monitors the budget and provides long-term financing for your project.

1.4 Strategy REAL ESTATE STRATEGY

A growing market

The current strategy for residential healthcare real estate for senior citizens is based on the progressive ageing of the population which, according to the Federal Planning Bureau, will peak by 2070. Now and in the coming decades, this will lead to an increasing demand for healthcare real estate with social added value. A similar trend also applies to The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland in terms of population ageing figures. For more details, we refer to the graphs presented hereafter, which show the demographic evolution in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Ireland.

This demographic evolution in combination with the Company's growth strategy, fulfilment of the corporate purpose and the fact that as a RREC it invests for 100% in healthcare real estate that is let for a very long period of time, ensures that the share always provides a stable return for its shareholders, and this at a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% (instead of the general rate of 30%).

Care Property Invest spreads its risks by ensuring a good geographic market distribution of its real estate, diversifying between the operators of its real estate and by creating a good balance between publicprivate and private partnerships. These issues have therefore been some key drivers for the Company to look geographically across national borders. Thus, in September 2018 the Company took the step towards the Dutch healthcare real estate market, in June 2020 towards the Spanish healthcare real estate and finally in 2022 the Company also continued its strategy by investing in the Irish healthcare real estate market.

We consciously strive for the following:

  • The development of a well-spread real estate portfolio, both geographically and across different operators, which we maintain for the long term.
  • Private and public partnerships. We can draw on many years of experience with numerous local authorities, a unique position within our sector.
  • our extensive expertise and short lines of communication with our clients, the healthcare providers.
  • Fast, customised solutions thanks to 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.

  • The main selection criteria are presented

below:

  • Correct price-quality ratio of the project in view of long-term value creation;
  • Potential returns of the project;
  • Solvency, reputation and spread of 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.
  • pharmacies and catering facilities; • The property complies with high quality standards in combination with advanced technological equipment and perfectly meets the needs of the Care Property Invest target public while also evaluating its compliance with certain ESG criteria.

• Environment: in the immediate vicinity of a village/city centre with shops,

Upon provisional completion, Care Property Invest makes the project available to the operator through a right of leasehold for at least 27 years, with the leaseholder paying an annually indexed canon (ground rent) to Care Property Invest. Receiving recurring income from owned property is the core business of any Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and should not be confused with financing activities.

After the right of superficies expires (and to the extent that no outstanding canon is subject to payment), the building becomes the property of the landowner by accession.

With the possibility of extending the DBF formula to 'Maintain', Care Property Invest responds to the growing demand for complete takeover of the property-related tasks (management and maintenance).

This component is also closely aligned with Care Property Invest's initial investment portfolio (finance leases). The Company consistently records the income from the historical portfolio, or even all financial leases entered into by the Company after inception, as rental income and not as interest income or any financial income, as would be the case for a mortgage REIT.

Developing and investing in healthcare real estate (Investment property) Besides the DBF(M) formula, Care Property Invest also acquires land and/or buildings and projects under construction/development by healthcare entrepreneurs. Care Property Invest also takes on the redevelopment of existing buildings.

Care Property Invest will always make these projects available on a longterm basis to operators specialising in operating residential care centres, groups of assisted living apartments, residential places for people with disabilities, etc.

The management of the Company ensures that all the requirements of the Regulated Real Estate Companies Act ('RREC Law') and the Regulated Real Estate Companies Royal Decree ('RREC RD') are always observed.

  • (4) Based on data from the Irish Central Statistics Office: 'Projected population, 2016 2051', https://www.cso.ie. Census are held every five years.

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

The Company aligns its financial strategy with the growth it achieves. By continuously expanding its scale, the Company strives for a competitive distribution of debt and capital costs and an improvement of its operating margin.

For equity, Care Property Invest relies on the capital market, by means of capital increases in cash and in kind.

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

As a RREC, Care Property Invest is fully aware of the importance of its dividend policy for its shareholders. The Company therefore endeavours to increase its dividend whenever this is sustainably possible. This prevents the Company from having to reduce this again in a later financial year.

Given the Company's growth, management wants to reserve as much of the profit as possible to be able to reinvest within the statutory framework. In doing so, the Company aims for a pay-out ratio (pay-out ratio of dividend per share compared to earnings per share) as close as possible to the statutory minimum of 80%. In addition, the Company explores the possibility of an optional dividend every year.

Despite the already improved liquidity of its share, Care Property Invest is still in the process of increasing this further in order to boost the attractiveness of its share by appointing a liquidity provider. In addition, the Company is actively working to meet the criteria of indexes such as the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT index, which Care Property Invest joined last year and which benefits the liquidity of the share.

Borrowed funds

Care Property Invest aims to raise borrowed funds as diversified as possible. In doing so, it aims to further diversify its credit providers in Belgium but also abroad and has a €300 million MTN programme with the obligation that all outstanding commercial paper is covered by unused capacity on credit lines.

Care Property Invest limits its liquidity risk by keeping sufficient credit lines available for its short-term needs and the financing of additional investments the next 12 months.

In addition, there is also a liquidity risk if the Company would no longer respect the covenants linked to these credit agreements. These covenants contain market-based provisions on, among other things, the debt ratio (cf. RREC Royal Decree) 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.

SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

It is our ambition to be at the forefront of sustainability in the healthcare real estate sector. In Belgium, we already have the youngest and most energy-efficient portfolio compared to our sector colleagues. We take a future-oriented approach to sustainability in order to prepare for the challenges ahead, such as the increasing need for high-quality healthcare real estate for everyone, climate change and the energy transition.

We comply with the requirements of the 'double materiality principle' of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In addition, we report not only on our financial health, but also on the social and ecological impact of our activities.

At Care Property Invest, we are actively committed to sustainability, with a focus on three important pillars: investing in sustainable buildings, building lasting relationships and leading through ethical practices. Our measurable goals reflect our aim to make sustainability an integral part of our general business strategy and daily activities. Together, we are working on a solid foundation for a sustainable future, in which we not only create value for our investors but also have a positive impact on society and the environment.

At the end of the financial year, Care Property Invest did not mortgage or pledge any building in its real estate portfolio.

Correct financing is necessary for a profitable and solid business model, in view of the capital-intensive character of the sector in which the Company operates and the Company's buy-and-hold strategy. As a result, the Company has a structural debt position with mainly bullet loans.

Given the current market conditions, the Company's long-term objective is to have a debt ratio below 50%. This debt ratio (cf. RREC Royal Decree) allows for an optimal ratio of equity to debt. Also, such a debt ratio offers the possibility to respond to investment opportunities that create value for the Company. In the short term, the level of the debt ratio is partly determined by the then prevailing economic and financial conditions.

In addition, the Company also tries to limit the interest rate risk on its debts by striving for a hedging percentage of its debts of at least 80%. Care Property Invest closely monitors developments on the financial markets in order to optimise its financial structure and to obtain a good composition of short and long-term financing and the conclusion of derivative contracts in order to achieve the desired hedging percentage. The Company also takes into account the long-term income from its investments in the average duration of its loans.

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

By contracting long-term leasehold and rental agreements, Care Property Invest creates long-term cash flows. Through the triple net character(1) of these contracts with solid operators and the transfer of the vacancy risk to the operator(2), the Company succeeds in maintaining a low risk profile. In addition, the annual indexation of the rent provides protection against inflation. The fact that on 31 December 2024 about a quarter of the rental income still 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.

  • (1) With the exception of the project 'Les Terrasses du Bois' in Watermaal Bosvoorde, for which a long-term agreement of the 'double net' type has been concluded and the project 'Tillia' in Gullegem for which a long-term agreement of the 'single net' type has been concluded.
  • (2) With the exception of the project 'Tillia' at Gullegem, for which the Company bears the vacancy risk itself.

2.2.2 Appointment of new CEO

Care Property Invest appointed Mr Patrick Couttenier as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective as of 1 January 2025. He succeeds Mr Peter Van Heukelom,

whose mandate as CEO came to an end on 31 December 2024. Mr Van Heukelom will, however, remain actively involved with the Company in his capacity as a member of the Board of Directors.

Following the voluntary resignation of Mr Willy Pintens as a director of Care Property Invest, effective as of 31 December 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to co-opt Mr Patrick Couttenier as a director. This appointment will be submitted for confirmation at the next Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to take place on 28 May 2025.

2.2.3 Change in composition of Executive Committee

On 1 July 2024, Mr Willy Pintens and Mr Dirk Van den Broeck resigned from the Executive Committee. They were succeeded by Mr Willem Van Gaver, Chief Legal Officer (CLO), and Mr Philip De Monie, Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO).

As of that date, the Executive Committee was composed of the following members: Mr Peter Van Heukelom (Chairman), Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck, Ms Valérie Jonkers, Mr Willem Van Gaver and Mr Philip De Monie.

Mr Peter Van Heukelom's mandate as a member of the Executive Committee ended on 31 December 2024. As of 1 January 2025, Mr Patrick Couttenier has assumed this mandate and has also taken over the role of Chairman of the Executive Committee.

2.2.4 Inclusion in EPRA index

Care Property Invest announced on 10 June 2024 that the share was included in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Index and the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Europe Index as from 21 June 2024, after trading hours. These are two major investment indices for listed real estate, which also serve as global benchmarks for the sector. Also, investors rely on EPRA's expertise and professionalism to track, in particular, the European market, allowing them to compare portfolio returns in a practical way. With a composition of around 500 different stocks, the Global Index represents more than €3 trillion of high-quality real estate globally.

Care Property Invest reached this milestone through strategic enhancements such as increasing share liquidity and reducing the proportion of finance leases versus investment properties in the real estate portfolio. This inclusion significantly increases visibility and opens up new opportunities for attracting institutional investors, which is essential for improved access to capital markets. This will contribute substantially to the future success and growth of the Company and consequently further strengthen its position in the real estate market.

2.2.5 Award for financial and sustainability reporting

In September 2024, Care Property Invest received the EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the third consecutive time. The Company is pleased with this recognition for its efforts made in sustainability reporting.

Also for its financial reporting, the Company was awarded the EPRA BPR Gold Award for the eighth consecutive time in September 2024 for its continued high transparency in financial reporting.

2.3.1 Additional investments and completions

Both the weighted average number of outstanding shares and the number of shares amounted to 36,988,833 as at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024. At neither date did the Company hold any treasury shares.

The gross return is calculated in table '3.2 Net result per share on a consolidated basis' by dividing the net result per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495) on the one hand and the market value on the closing date on the other hand. In table '3.3 Components of the net result', the gross yield is calculated by dividing the adjusted EPRA earnings per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495), on the one hand, and the market price on the closing date, on the other. The share price was €11.42 as at 31 December 2024 and €14.26 as at 31 December 2023. There are no instruments that have a potentially dilutive effect on the net result per share.

Operating result

The Company's operating result increased by 87.03% compared to 31 December 2023, while the operating result before result on portfolio for the same period increased by 10.55%.

Rental income as at 31 December 2024 increased by 5.63% compared to the same period last year. The increase in rental income is mainly explained by (i) the investment properties acquired and completed during 2023 and 2024 (€2.9 million) and (ii) the indexation of the pre-existing leases (unchanged portfolio) which was fully passed on and averages 1.62% per (€1.0 million).

Rental income from investment properties represented 75% of the total rental income as at 31 December 2024, while the ground rents (canons) received by the Company under its finance lease agreements accounted for 25% of total rental income. In terms of EBITDA, investment properties represented 79%, while finance leases accounted for 21%.

As at 31 December 2024, the Company has transferred rental arrears of an immaterial amount, namely €114,339, to the item doubtful debtors (see below).

As at the date of this report, 99% of the total rent invoiced for the 2024 financial year was effectively collected including indexations charged in full.

The Company's general expenses increased by €725,158 compared to 31 December 2023 and included the full impairment of the aforementioned rental arrears amounting to €114,339, which were reclassified to the item doubtful debtors (see above).

This impairment was the result of the bankruptcy of a Dutch operator managing two small-scale projects within the Company's portfolio. Both projects have since been successfully re-let under new, equivalent lease agreements with two other operators, including a small-scale care provider and a foundation.

Furthermore, the increase in general expenses can be attributed to costs related to the reorganisation within the Executive Committee and the recruitment process for the new CEO. In addition, the growth of the Company also contributes to higher general costs, which translates into an increase in, among other things, the Belgian annual tax on collective investment undertakings

(ICB tax).

Remuneration and personnel-related costs decreased to a limited extent. Here, the indexation as of 1 January 2024 was largely offset by a reduction in the average number of full-time equivalents from 26.3 FTEs as at 31 December 2023 to 24.9 FTEs as at 31 December 2024.

Other operating income and expenses increased from €-2,327,627 as at 31 December 2023 to €232,306 as at 31 December 2024. The increase is mainly due to the removal of the one-off write-off (non-cash) of the outstanding trade receivable in 2023 of a Belgian property (finance lease), after the Company was notified of the bankruptcy of the operator concerned.

As at 31 december 2024, other operating income mainly consists of the project management fee of €467,616, which largely relates to the recovery of pre-financing of ongoing Dutch projects. In addition, these also include compensation received of €300,000 following a settlement agreement concluded with a project developer, as well a number of compensation for late delivery. All these items contribute to the Company's cash result.

Notes to the global result statement

Furthermore, this section also includes the profit and loss margin of projects amounting to €-776,454. This is a non-cash item that is adjusted for the calculation of the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Variations in the fair value of investment

properties remained relatively stable over the current financial year, with the unchanged portfolio experiencing a limited decrease of -0.64% or €-7,990,010 compared to the previous financial year. Also here, these are unrealised variations that are corrected in the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Financial result

Interest expenses increased mainly as a result of (i) higher average market interest rates for the full financial year compared to 2023 and (ii) the maturity of certain loans with favourable fixed rates during 2023 and 2024. This is reflected in the rise of the weighted average interest rate, which stood at 3.22% compared to 2.90% as at 31 December 2023. However, this weighted average interest rate is declining compared to Q3 2024 when it was 3.25% due to declining market interest rates.

To minimise the impact of rising market interest rates, the Company uses interest rate swaps. As at 31 December 2024 its outstanding debts were 85,37% hedged.

The financial result was affected as at 31 December 2024 for an amount of €4,409,379 due to the inclusion of the fair value of the authorised financial instruments. As at 31 December 2024, the total impact to date is €-176,988, compared to €4,002,391 as at 31 December 2023.

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 2024 includes estimated and prepaid corporation taxes as well as deferred taxes (receivable) related to the Irish real estate projects.

Adjusted EPRA earnings

The adjusted EPRA earnings on a consolidated basis amounted to €39,753,603 as at 31 December 2024 compared to €37,981,630 as at 31 December 2023. This represents an increase of 4.67%. Given that the number of shares remained unchanged, adjusted EPRA earnings per share also rose by 4.67% from €1.0268 as at 31 December 2023 to €1.0747 as at 31 December 2024.

Notes to the consolidated balance sheet

Investment Properties

The Company's real estate portfolio increased by €20,817,094 in the 2024 financial year. The variation is explained by (i) the further completion of development projects as well as improvements to already existing investment properties (€17.2 million), (ii) the decrease in fair value of the total portfolio (€-6.4 million) and (iii) the transfer of the book value of the project included in 2023 under the item 'assets held for sale' (€10.00 million). All possible options for the future of this project are currently being considered, so a sale is no longer certain.

During the 2024 financial year, 5 projects were completed with a conventional value of €53.8 million.

The real estate experts confirm the fair value of the real estate portfolio at a total amount of €1,014.0 million (excluding €1.3 million in rights in rem). The fair value is equal to the investment value (or the value deed-in-hand, being the value in which all acquisition costs were included) from which the transaction costs were deducted for an amount of 2.5% for real estate in Belgium, 10.9% for real estate in The Netherlands and 9.96% for real estate in Ireland. For real estate in Spain, these are determined by the region where the property is located.

Other tangible fixed assets

As at 31 December 2024, this item contains €4,495,430 of 'tangible fixed assets for own use', which remains virtually unchanged compared to 31 December 2023 and largely relate to the head office in Schoten.

Finance lease receivables

The item 'finance lease receivables' includes all final building rights fees that are due for repayment at the end of the contract for the 76 projects in the initial portfolio and during the term of the contract for the projects 'Hof ter Moere' in Moerbeke (BE), 'Hof Driane' in Herenthout (BE) and 'Assistentiewoningen De Stille Meers' in Middelkerke (BE).

Unlike the projects in the initial portfolio, for the aforementioned reason, the ground rent (canon) vfor the projects in Moerbeke, Herenthout and Middelkerke consists not only of a revenue component, but also of a repayment of the investment value, as a result of which the amount of the receivable will gradually decrease over the term of the leasehold agreement.

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 item 'finance lease receivables') and the fair value, which at the time of making available is calculated by discounting future cash flows, is included under the item 'trade receivables' and is depreciated on an annual basis.

The fair value of the finance leases amounts to €225,172,000 as at 31 December 2024. For the calculation of this fair value, Cushman & Wakefield, an independent party, is consulted in order to obtain a market-based valuation of this portfolio. The fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows, taking into account historically charged indexations for the cash flows.

The discount rate applied consists of the OLO interest rates in effect at the reporting date, depending on the remaining term of the underlying contract, plus a margin.. As at 31 December 2024, the weighted average OLO interest rate amounted to 2.88% and the weighted average risk margin was 1.03%. This results in an average value of €107,635 per assisted living apartment, which can still be considered conservative given that future indexations are not taken into account.

The decrease in the fair value of the leases compared to 31 December 2023, when it amounted to €242,103,000 is due to the increase in the OLO interest rates used valid at closing date and the further expiry of the lease terms.

Debts and liabilities

As a result of the lower investment rhythm in the course of this financial year, the Company's financial debts increased to a limited extent.

As at 31 December 2024, the Company has an MTN programme at Belfius (arranger) amounting to €300 million with dealers Belfius and KBC. The Company has secured the necessary backup lines for this purpose. As at 31 December 2024, the amount drawn amounted to €84.0 million in commercial paper and €21.0 million in bonds. By comparison, as at 31 December 2023, the amounts drawn stood at €39.0 million in commercial paper and €26.0 million in bonds. The commercial paper market clearly experienced a revival in the course of 2024.

Amounts in EUR 31/12/2024 31/12/2023
Average remaining term of financial debt 4.52 5.42
Nominal amount of current and non-current financial debts 565,649,633 542,454,186
Weighted average interest rate at closing date (1) 3.32% 3.15%
Weighted average interest rate over de period (1) 3.22% 2.90%
Nominal amount of derivative instruments 375,168,042 375,652,542
Fair value of hedging instruments -176,988 4,002,391

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

As at 31 December 2024, the Company has hedged 85.37% of its debts, either by means of an interest rate swap or by means of a fixed interest rate. The weighted average remaining maturity of the interest rate swaps amounted to 7.13 years.

The consolidated debt ratio, calculated in accordance with Article 13, §1, 2° of the RREC Decree, was 47.73% as at 31 December 2024. The available margin for further investments and completion of the development projects already acquired before reaching a debt ratio of 60% (imposed by the covenants) amounts to €369.8 million. The Company reiterates its strategic commitment to maintain the debt ratio below 50%, with remaining headroom of €54.6 million before this internal threshold is reached.

Hedge ratio interest rates - future evolution (1)

The other non-current financial liabilities relate to the inclusion of the fair value of the financial instruments entered into. Financial instruments with a positive fair value are included in the item financial fixed assets.

As at 31 December 2024, other non-current liabilities amounted to €2,201,915 and remained virtually unchanged compared to 31 December 2023. They concern the debts relating to the rights in rem for the projects 'La Résidence du Lac' in Genval (BE) and 'Villa Wulperhorst' in Zeist (NL), which are included in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16.

Trade and other current liabilities decreased from €9,271,604 as at 31 December 2023 to €6,078,874 as at 31 December 2024. This decrease is primarily due to a significant reduction in outstanding invoices relating to development projects, as most of these were either completed or nearly completed by year-end.

The other current liabilities have decreased compared to 31 December 2023 to an amount of €732,675 and relate to short-term liabilities with respect to development projects.

The company expects to realise adjusted EPRA earnings of at least €1.07 for the 2025 financial year and intends to pay out a stable gross dividend of €1.00 per share.

4. 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 28 May 2025 to distribute a total gross dividend for the 2024 financial year of €36,988,833 or €1.00 per share. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this represents a net dividend of €0.85 per share.

This equals the dividend paid for the 2023 financial year. As a result, the payout ratio is 100.40% at statutory level and 93.05% at consolidated level, based on adjusted EPRA earnings.

Summary table:

Number of shares with rights to dividends 36,988,833
Remuneration of the capital € 36,988,833
Gross dividend per share € 1.00
Gross yield in relation to the share price as at 31 December 2024 8.76%
Net dividend per share (1) € 0.85
Net yield in relation to the share price as at 31 December 2024 7.44%
Dividend payment from 3 June 2025

(1) Gross dividend after deduction of the 15% withholding tax.

5. 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 47.73% as at 31 December 2024. Given the fact that Care Property Invest does not exceeds the debt ratio of 50%, it is not required to prepare a financial plan in accordance with article 24 of the RREC RD.

5.1 Assumptions

On the basis of the balance sheet and the global result statement for the 2024 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 and the extent to which service providers pass on inflation to the Company;
  • For the time being, new projects are financed using own resources from operating activities and additional new credit lines, or the proceeds from issuing commercial paper;
  • The financial costs are in line with the limited increase in financing during the 2024 financial year due to the lower investment rate. They also take into account decreasing interest rates and higher credit margins due to changed market conditions.
  • Additional financing costs for acquisitions in the course of 2025 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 annual indexation and the impact of new investments. For the rental income for which the indexation took place on 1 January 2025, the effective indexation rates were taken into account. Market forecasts were taken into account for the rental income indexed during 2025 (on the anniversary of the contract);

• 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. 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 agreements, 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.

• Fluctuations in interest rates and the Company's ability to issue or roll over commercial paper.

5.2 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 47.73% as at 31 December 2024.

The Company expects its debt ratio to increase only moderately during the 2025 financial year as a result of additional investments and the further completion of projects currently under 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.

5.3 Conclusion on outlook for dividends and distributable results

Based on the current existing agreements that will still generate income for an average of 13.70 years, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company foresees a stable dividend for the 2025 financial year. The Company's solvency is supported by the stable value of its real estate projects and long-term macro trends, in particular the ageing population in the markets where the Company operates.

Taking into account the current economic uncertainty and its impact on Care Property Invest's results, the Company expects to receive €73 million in rental income for the 2025 financial year, representing an increase in rental income of approximately 5% compared to the 2024 financial year (total rental income for the 2024 financial year amounted to approximately €69.6 million).

The Company therefore expects, partly due to the impact of rising market interest rates, to realise an adjusted EPRA result of at least €1.07 for 2025.

Care Property Invest intends to pay out a stable gross dividend of €1.00 per share for the 2025 financial year. After deduction of the 15% withholding tax rate, this results in a net dividend of €0.85 per share.

5.4 Statutory auditor's report on the consolidated financial forecast of Care Property Invest nv

As a statutory auditor of Care Property Invest nv (the 'company'), we have, upon request by the Board of Directors, prepared the present report on the forecasts of the EPRA earnings per share (as defined in the report 'Best Practices Recommendations (BPR) Guidelines' of September 2024 of the European Public Real Estate Association) for the 12 months periods ending 31 December 2025 (the 'Forecast') of Care Property Invest nv, included in Caption 5 'Outlook' of the Chapter 2 'Report of the Board of Directors' of Care Property Invest 2024 Annual Report as approved by the Board of Directors of the company on 22 April 2025.

The assumptions included in Caption 5 'Outlook' of the Chapter 2 'Report of the Board of Directors' of Care Property Invest Annual Report result in the following forecasts of the EPRA earnings per share for the accounting year ending 2025:

EPRA earnings, per share: € 1,07

Board of Director's responsibility

It is the Company's Board of Directors' responsibility to prepare the consolidated financial forecasts and the main assumptions upon which the Forecast is based.

Auditor's responsibility

It is our responsibility to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial forecasts, prepared appropriately on the basis of the above assumptions. We are not required nor do we express an opinion on the possibility to achieve that result or on the assumptions underlying this Forecast.

We performed our work in accordance with the auditing standards applicable in Belgium, as issued by the Institute of Registered Auditors (Institut des Réviseurs d'Entreprises/Instituut van de Bedrijfsrevisoren), including the related guidance of its research institute and the standard 'International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3400' related to the examination of forecast information. Our work included an evaluation of the procedures undertaken by the Board of Directors in compiling the forecasts and procedures aimed at verifying the consistency of the methods used for the Forecast with the accounting policies normally adopted by Care Property Invest nv.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain all the information and explanations that we considered necessary in order to provide us with reasonable assurance that the forecasts have been properly compiled on the basis stated.

Opinion

We have examined the EPRA earnings per share of Care Property Invest nv for the financial year 2025 in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to the examination of prospective financial information. Board of Director's is responsible for the consolidated financial forecasts including the assumptions referenced above. In our opinion the forecast is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions and is presented in accordance with the accounting policies applied by Care Property Invest nv for the consolidated financial statements of 2024.

Since the Forecast and the assumptions on which they are based relate to the future and may therefore be affected by unforeseen events, we can express no opinion as to whether the actual results reported will correspond to those shown in the forecasts. Any differences may be material.

6. Main risks and uncertainties

The Company's activities are situated in an economic climate that involves risks. The main risk factors (included here in implementation of Article 3:32 BCCA but explained in detail in a separate section of the annual report 2024) which Care Property Invest faces, are regularly monitored by both Management and the Board of Directors, which have defined a prudent policy in this regard and which, if necessary, regularly adjust this policy.

The following risks are discussed in detail in Chapter 'I. Risk factors' on page 24 et seq. of this report: market risks, operational risks, financial risks, regulatory risks and other risks.

7. Research and development

Care Property Invest has not undertaken any activities within the meaning of Articles 3:6(1), 3:6(4) and 3:32 BCCA.

8. Capital increases within the context of authorised capital

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders held on 26 April 2023, it was decided by a large majority of 93.21% to renew the authorisation regarding the authorised capital.

Date Type of operation Authorised capital
26/04/2023 Renewal of authorisation regarding the authorised
capital
176,052,049
Modalities:
Capital increases in cash involving planned
exercise of the statutory preferential
subscription right or irreducible allocation right
by the Company's shareholders
110,032,531
Capital increases within the framework of the
payment of an optional dividend
44,013,012
Capital increases (i) in kind, (ii) in cash without
the possibility of exercising the preferential
subscription right or irreducible allocation right
by the Company's shareholders, or (iii) any other
form of capital increases
22,006,506

Balance 2024 176,052,049

The authorisation is valid for a period of two years as of the publication of the decision of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and was granted under the condition that the capital, within the framework of the authorised capital, will never be increased by an amount exceeding €220,065,062. In other words, the sum of the capital increases applying the above-mentioned authorisations may not exceed €220,065,062 in total. Given the specific modalities, this will never be the case as they only give capacity up to €176,052,049.

On 24 April 2025, Care Property Invest will invite shareholders to participate in its Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 May 2025 in order to, among other things, renew the existing authorisation regarding the authorised capital and replace it with a new authorisation for the Board of Directors to increase the capital in one or more transactions.

9. Treasury shares

As at 31 December 2024, Care Property Invest did not hold any own shares. No shares were transferred to executive management during the 2024 financial year either.

11. Corporate Governance Statement

11.1 Corporate Governance Statement

Care Property Invest ('The Company') recognises the importance of correct and transparent corporate governance and intends to ensure clear communication about this issue with all persons and parties involved. The Board of Directors therefore dedicates this specific chapter to corporate governance in its Annual report. This sets out the Company's practices relating to correct corporate governance during the relevant financial year, including the specific information required pursuant to the applicable legislation and the Corporate Governance Code.

This Corporate Government Statement is a chapter in the 2024 Annual report and is part of the Report of the Board of Directors. It describes the situation as at 31 December 2024.

As from 2020, Care Property Invest applies the Belgian Corporate Governance Code (the '2020 Code'), in addition to compliance with general and sector-specific legislation and with its own Articles of Association, in accordance with the Royal Decree of 12 May 2019 specifying the corporate governance code to be complied with by listed companies. The Code 2020 is also available on the website of the Belgian Official Gazette and on www. corporategovernancecommittee.be.

The full Corporate Governance Charter (the 'Charter') sets out the principles, rules and agreements that determine how the Company is managed and controlled and the corporate structure that form the framework of the Company's corporate governance. The Board of Directors of Care Property Invest subscribes to these principles based on transparency and accountability. This enhances the shareholders' and investors' trust in the Company. From the Company's establishment onwards, Care Property Invest has considered fair and correct business conduct as a main priority. In addition, Care Property Invest attaches a great deal of importance to a good balance between the interests of the shareholders and those of the other parties that are directly or indirectly involved with the Company. The Board of Directors guarantees frequent updating of the Charter. On 18 March 2020, the Charter was adapted to the Code 2020, followed by a final update of the Charter on 6 November 2024. The latest version can be consulted on the Company's website, www. carepropertyinvest.be.

The Charter also includes the rules and code of conduct to prevent market abuse and insider dealing (the 'Dealing Code').

The Board of Directors makes every effort to comply at all times with the principles of corporate governance, always taking into account the specific character of the Company and applied the 2020 Code in 2024 in accordance with the 'comply or explain' principle. The scope and specific deviations from the 2020 Code are further explained in this Corporate Governance

Statement (the 'Statement').

On 13 December 2023, Care Property Invest received congratulatory comments from the 'Corporate Governance Committee', stating that the Company complies with all provisions of the 2020 Code.

Deviations from the Code 2020

Care Property Invest deviated from the 2020 Code only on a limited number of points in 2024. The deviations from these recommendations could mainly be explained in light of the Company's activities and the associated operation and structure of the Board of Directors.

In revising its Charter and drawing up its remuneration policy (also referred to in the Charter), Care Property Invest decided to deviate from the following recommendations of the 2020 Code:

Recommendation 5.5: in line with the 2020 Code, non-executive directors should not hold more than five directorships in listed companies. Indeed, the Company believes that when comparing the amount of duties of the relevant director within the Company and the time commitment required as a result thereof with the amount and time commitment required of this relevant director in connection with other commitments or mandates in listed companies, in certain cases a deviation from this recommendation might be justified. For this reason, the Charter provides that the Board of Directors can grant permission to deviate from this recommendation. To date, however, no such deviation has been

approved by the Board of Directors.

Recommendation 7.6: contrary to the 2020 Code, the Company does not pay its nonexecutive directors remuneration in the form of shares. This deviation is motivated by the fact that remuneration in shares is not well established in Belgian listed companies and more specifically in the RREC sector. The Company believes that the judgement of these directors - in particular as nonexecutive directors - is not affected by the absence of remuneration in shares. Also, to the Company's knowledge, there is no international consensus yet that share-based remuneration guarantees that the interests of the non-executive directors are aligned with the shareholders' interests. The Company has decided to await the development of the practice of Belgian listed companies in general or more specifically in the RREC sector and to reconsider on a regular basis whether it could be in the interest of the Company and its shareholders to proceed to (partial) payment of non-executive directors in shares.

Recommendation 7.8: Contrary to the the Code 2020, two of the executive directors did not receive a variable remuneration. The absence of both variable remuneration and share-based compensation for these two executive directors was justified by the difference in scope of their responsibilities compared to the other executive directors.

Their role primarily consisted of providing general oversight and follow-up of the Company's day-to-day operations. In addition, they were always available to the other members for consultation and discussion on the daily management and operation of the Company. For that reason, the Company did not consider it appropriate to remunerate these executive directors in shares or grant performance-related remuneration.

The Company was of the opinion that the absence of such remuneration did not compromise the alignment of their interests with those of the shareholders, nor did it affect their objectivity or independent judgement.

As of 1 July 2024, the composition of the Executive Committee changed, resulting in all members of the executive management team being operationally active on a fulltime basis within the Company. Since then, all executive directors receive variable remuneration, and the deviation from recommendation 7.8 of the Code 2020 is no longer applicable.

11.2 Internal audit and risk management

This section describes the key characteristics of the systems that the Company has specified relating to internal auditing and risk management.

11.2.1 Internal auditing (methodology)

The Audit Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating the Company's risks and reports to the Board of Directors, which approves the framework of the internal control systems and risk management set up by the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee is responsible for setting up a system of appropriate internal controls in accordance with Article 17 of the RREC Law. In addition, it is responsible for the overall supervision of this internal control system.

The Executive Committee is required to report to the Board of Directors on the internal control system for which it has the final responsibility.

These appropriate internal controls consist of three components, i.e.,

    1. risk management (governance risk management + risk manager);
    1. compliance (integrity policy and compliance function)
    1. internal audit (internal audit procedures + internal audit function); whereas internal audit should not be seen solely as a stand-alone third pillar here, but also as playing a 'transversal' role with respect to the two other pillars.

The internal control system shall aim to

  • achieve the following elements: business operations are conducted in an orderly manner, with due care and clearly delineated
  • the resources deployed are used economically and efficiently;
  • the risks are known and adequately controlled for the protection of assets;
  • the financial and management information is sound and reliable;
  • laws and regulations as well as general policies, plans and internal rules are all complied with.

Within the Company, an internal control system has been implemented that is tailored to the nature, size, and complexity of the Company's activities and its operating environment.

Care Property Invest has a relatively limited size in terms of employees which has an impact on the design and operation of the system of internal control within the Company. The design of internal control took into account the COSO model ('Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Threadway Commission') which is built around five components, and are discussed below. The guidelines under the Law of 6 April 2010 strengthening corporate governance in listed companies and autonomous public enterprises and amending the regulation on professional disqualification in the banking and financial sector and the 2020 Code were also taken

into account.

The five control components considered

were:

    1. the control environment;
    1. the risk management process;
    1. the control activities;
  • Risk management function (risk manager)
    1. information and communication; 5. management.

At least once a year, the Board of Directors examines the internal control and risk management systems set up by the Executive Committee in order to ensure that the main risks (including the risks related to compliance with existing laws and regulations) are properly identified, managed and be notified to the Board of Directors. Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck, managing director/ member of the Executive Committee/ CFO, was appointed as risk manager, in compliance with Article 17(5) of the RREC Law. The mandate of Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck as risk manager is of indefinite duration. He has the required professional reliability and the appropriate expertise. More information on risk management can be found in section 11.2.3 'Risk management'.

Compliance function

The Compliance Officer shall ensure that Care Property Invest complies with the applicable laws, regulations and rules of conduct, in particular the rules relating to the integrity of the Company's activities, by monitoring of the various risks which the Company may encounter as a result of its statutory status and activities.

The Company has appointed Mr Jan Van Beers, senior legal counsel, as its compliance officer. The Compliance Officer is appointed for an indefinite duration and has the necessary professional reputation and appropriate expertise for the performance of

his duties.

Internal audit function

The internal audit function within the meaning of Article 17 §3 RREC Law was performed in 2024 by an external consultant, namely BDO Advisory bv/srl.

The Company has also appointed Mrs Lynn Van Dyck, head of finance/financial controller at Care Property Invest, as internal audit manager within the meaning of Article 17 §3 of the RREC Law. Mrs Lynn Van Dyck's mandate as internal audit manager is of indefinite duration. She has the required professional reliability and appropriate expertise.

For more information on the internal audit, please refer to title 11.2.4 'Control activities' hereafter.

11.2.2 The control environment

Care Property Invest has defined its own corporate culture and ethical standards and endorses the principles laid down in its Integrity Policy.

Throughout the Company's organisation, the Company continuously highlights integrity, the ethical values and expertise of its employees, management style and philosophy, organisational culture in general, policy relating to delegation of authorisations and responsibilities and the human resources policy. Care Property Invest's integrity policy is an essential component of its corporate culture and places particular emphasis on honesty and integrity, compliance with ethical standards and the specific applicable regulations. In this context, the Company, its directors and its employees must behave with integrity, i.e. honestly, reliably and in a trustworthy manner.

The integrity policy specifically includes, but is not limited to the following fields of work:

    1. rules on conflicts of interest,
    1. rules on incompatibility of mandates,
    1. the Company's code of ethics,
    1. insider trading and abuse of power (insider trading and market manipulation),
    1. rules on abuse of company property and bribery (Article 492 bis of the Criminal Code).

Care Property Invest has a compliance officer, within the meaning of Article 17 §4 of the RREC Law, who is responsible for ensuring compliance with the rules relating to the integrity of the Company, its directors, its effective managers, employees and authorised representative(s) and more specifically for drafting and testing recommendations. The Compliance Officer has always the possibility to directly contact the (chairman of) the Board of Directors. The charter regarding the compliance function details the working method and organisation of thiscompliance function.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors supervises the integrity of financial information provided by Care Property Invest, in particular by assessing the relevance and consistency of the accounting standards applied by the Company, as provided for in Article 5 of the RREC RD. This supervision involves assessment of the accuracy, completeness and consistency of the financial information. This supervision covers the regular information before it is disclosed. In doing so, the Audit Committee shall inform the Board of Directors of the methods used for recording significant and unusual transactions, the processing of which may be open to different approaches.

The Board of Directors discusses these significant financial reporting issues with the Audit Committee as well as with the Executive Committee and the statutory auditor. In addition, the Board of Directors can always turn to the CFO, Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck. In this way, the financial reporting process to the Board of Directors is further strengthened. The financial statement and the semi-annual financial report are reviewed by the statutory auditor, who explains the work performed as part of his assignment to the Audit Committee.

11.2.3 Risk management

At least once a year the Audit Committee examines the internal control and risk management systems set up by the Executive Committee in order to ensure that the main risks (including the risks related to compliance with existing laws and regulations) are properly identified, managed and be notified to the Board of Directors. As a result of the adoption of the status of RREC, a risk manager was appointed, in compliance with Article 17, §5 of the RREC Law, namely Mr Filip Van Zeebroeck. The risk manager's responsibilities include, among other things, drafting, developing, monitoring, updating and implementing the risk policy and risk management procedures.

On the basis of his position, the risk manager fulfils his role by analysing and evaluating each category of risks facing the Company, both at regular intervals and on an ad hoc basis. On this basis, concrete recommendations can be formulated for the Executive Committee or the Board of Directors (which bears final responsibility for the risk management of the Company).

The Board of Directors annually adopts the risk policy, ensuring correct analysis and estimates of the existing risks as prepared by the risk manager prior to inclusion in the annual report. The Company also provides a specific arrangement according to which staff members may express concerns regarding possible irregularities in financial reporting or other matters in confidence. (the 'whistle-blowers' scheme')

If deemed necessary, arrangements will be made for an independent investigation and appropriate follow-up of these matters, in proportion to their alleged seriousness. Regulations are also made with regard to which staff members can inform the Chairman of the Board of Directors directly. The Company also has detailed policies on staff, including with regard to integrity, qualifications, training and assessment, and applies a business continuity policy, including a business continuity plan.

As part of its supervisory task, the Board of Directors evaluates twice a year the main risks that give rise to a mention in the halfyearly and annual financial reports on the basis of the reports of the Audit Committee. In addition to these periodic reviews, the Board of Directors closely monitors the risks in its regular meetings and also takes note of the risk analysis and the findings of both internal and external audit.

11.2.4 The control activities

The organisation is structured in such a way that all the important decisions concerning strategic, financial and operational matters are taken by several different people or are at least be subject to control by the management.

With regard to the financial reporting process, it can be reported that controls are built in which should ensure the quality and accuracy of the reported information.

The internal audit function, within the meaning of Article 17 §3 of the RREC Law, is fulfilled by an external consultant (also referred to as an 'external internal auditor'). This auditor is appointed based on a contract 'relating to outsourcing the internal audit function'. The internal auditor performs a risk analysis for each risk area, determining a risk profile and a score for each of these domains.

On the basis of this analysis, a plan is prepared and comprehensive annual audits are conducted of each area, with recommendations being formulated. Since the Company has opted for an external consultant to perform the internal audit function, it has also appointed an in-house controller for internal audit, who ensures the follow-up of the recommendations of this external internal auditor and monitors his work. In addition, the reports will be submitted to the Board of Directors. The financial reporting function is also subject of frequent evaluation by the internal auditor. Please see the description above with regard to the supervision by the Board of Directors of the integrity of financial information provided by the Company.

The Company always takes into account the findings and possible observations of the internal and external auditor. These provide a guide for the Company to optimise its operations in relation to operational, financial and management matters, as well as risk management and compliance. The Board of Directors receives all internal audit reports and/or periodic summaries thereof. The external internal auditor also provides explanation on the work carried out on a regular basis.

The Board of Directors, on the advice of the Audit Committee, assesses the effectiveness of the internal audit and, in particular, makes recommendations on its operation. It also examines to what extent its findings and recommendations are met.

11.2.5 Information and communication

Communication is an important element of internal control and within Care Property Invest and is adjusted to the size of the organisation. General staff communication, internal memos, working meetings, e-mail and electronic calendars are used for communications. For the records, there is a digital central archive, and documents are also kept in physical form where necessary. The Executive Committee is responsible for ensuring appropriate communication and exchange of information to and from all levels within the Company and for ensuring that the objectives and responsibilities for internal control necessary to support the functioning of internal control are communicated in a transparent manner.

Providing periodical financial and other occasional external information is streamlined and supported by appropriate allocation of responsibilities, coordination between the various employees involved and a detailed financial calendar.

11.2.6 Supervision and monitoring

Managing internal control within an organisation is a continuous process that should be evaluated on an ongoing basis and if necessary, adjusted. Periodical assessments are conducted at the level of the Board of Directors concerning the adequacy of internal control and risk management. Among other things, the findings and recommendations of the internal and external auditor constitute an important source of information in this context.

The follow-up procedure consists of a combination of supervision by the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, and independent objective assessments of these activities based on internal auditor, external auditor or other third parties.

Relevant findings of the internal auditor and/or the statutory auditor relating to guidelines and procedures, segregation of responsibilities and application of IFRS accounting standards are reported to the Audit Committee and, if necessary, the Board of Directors.

In addition, financial information is explained in detail by the CFO in the Executive Committee and subsequently in the Audit Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors.

11.3 Shareholding structure

The Company has no knowledge of any shareholders holding more than 5% of the voting rights, as no notifications have been received to this effect within the context of the transparency legislation.

On 7 June 2024, Ameriprise Financial, Inc reported no longer exceeding the 3% threshold as the acquisition of a disposal of voting securities or voting rights.

On 23 September 2024, BlackRock, Inc. reported exceeding the 3% threshold as a result of the acquisition of voting securities or voting

rights.

On 2 October 2024, BlackRock, Inc. reported further exceeding the 3% threshold as a result of the additional acquisition of voting securities or voting rights.

On 4 November 2024, BlackRock, Inc. reported still exceeding the 3% threshold but less as a result of the disposal of voting securities or voting rights.

On 7 November 2024, BlackRock, Inc. reported no longer exceeding the 3% threshold due to further disposals of voting securities or voting rights.

On 27 March 2025, after the close of the financial year, BlackRock, Inc. reported to have exceeded the 3% threshold again as a result of the acquisition of voting securities or voting rights.

Care Property Invest refers to its website www.carepropertyinvest.be for the publication of these transparency statements.

Other than the aforementioned notifications, the Company did not receive any new notifications for exceeding or falling below the 3% threshold during the 2024 and 2025 financial years (up to the date of this report).

An overview of the shareholding structure is given in chapter 'V. Care Property Invest on the stock market' on page 236 of this annual report.

11.4 Directors

11.4.1 Current composition of the Board of Directors

On 31 December 2024, the Board of Directors consisted of nine members, three of whom were independent directors who met the conditions of the Article 7:87 BCCA). There are three executive (managing) directors and six non-executive directors. The three managing directors are members of the Executive Committee.

The directors do not have to be shareholders. There are no family ties between the members of the Board of Directors.

In order to improve the continuity of the functioning of the Board of Directors and thus prevent several Directors from resigning at the same time, the Board of Directors drew up a schedule according to which the directors are to resign periodically. Their appointment may be revoked at any time by the General Meeting. The directors are eligible for reappointment.

The list of directors is shown on the following pages.

11.4.4 Assignments of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has the broadest powers to perform all acts that are necessary or useful for the realization of the object of the Company. The Board may perform all other actions that are not expressly reserved for the general meeting by law or by the Articles of Association. The Board of Directors decides upon the long-term operating strategy, investments, disinvestments and financing strategy of the Company, closes the annual financial statements, and draws up the half-yearly and quarterly financial statements of the RREC.

It draws up the 'Report of the Board of Directors' that contains, among others, the 'Corporate Governance Statement', it decides how the authorised capital is used and convenes the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meetings of shareholders. It ensures the relevance, accuracy and transparency of communication to the shareholders, financial analysts and the general public, such as prospectuses, Annual and Halfyearly Financial Reports, quarterly statements, and press releases. It is also the body that decides on the Company's Executive Committee structure and determines the powers and duties of the Company's effective managers.

11.4.5 Functioning of the Board of Directors

11.4.5.1 Frequency and convocation of meetings

The Board of Directors convenes meetings as often as necessary for the performance of its duties. The Board of Directors normally meets every month, and also whenever this is required in the interests of the Company. The Board of Directors is convened by the Chairman or by two directors whenever the interests of the Company so require. The notice states the place, date, time and agenda of the meeting and is sent by letter, e-mail or other written means at least 48 hours before the meeting. Each director who attends a meeting of the Board of Directors or is represented at such meeting is considered to be regularly called up.

11.4.5.2 Deliberations and voting

The Board of Directors can only validly deliberate and decide if at least a majority of the directors are present or represented. If this quorum is not reached, a new Board of Directors may be convened with the same agenda, which will validly deliberate and decide if at least two directors are present or represented.

With respect to items not on the agenda, it may only deliberate with the consent of the entire Board of Directors and provided that all directors are present or represented. Any director may authorize another member of the Board of Directors by letter, e-mail or in another written form to represent him or her at a meeting of the Board of Directors and validly vote in his place. The Board of Directors may meet by conference call, video conference or similar communication equipment, by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Any director may also provide his or her advice to the chairman by letter, e-mail or other written form.

The Board of Directors may adopt a decision as provided for in the BCCA by unanimous written consent of all directors. If a director has a direct or indirect financial interest that is contrary to a decision or transaction that falls within the powers of the Board of Directors, he shall comply with the provisions of Article 7:96 BCCA. The members of the Board of Directors shall also comply with Articles 37-38 of the public RREC Law.

The decision-making within the Board of Directors may not be dominated by an individual or by a group of directors.

Decisions are taken by a simple majority of the votes cast. Blank or invalid votes are not counted as votes cast. In the event of a tie within the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting shall have the casting vote.

11.4.5.3 Minutes

The decisions of the Board of Directors are recorded in minutes after each meeting. They are sent to each director, together with the invitation to the next meeting, and approved at this meeting.

The minutes of the meeting summarise the discussions, specify the decisions taken and mention the various opinions and possible reservations of certain directors. The names of persons intervening are included only at their explicit request. They are kept at the Company's office. The Board of Directors appointed Ms Nathalie Byl as secretary.

11.4.5.4 Integrity and commitment of the

directors

It is imperative that all directors, executive and non-executive, and the latter regardless of whether or not they are independent, make decisions on the basis of an independent view.

The directors ensure that they receive detailed and accurate information, which they study thoroughly in order to be able to thoroughly understand and continue to understand the most important aspects of the company's activities. They will maintain and update their skills and knowledge of the Company in order to fulfil their role, both on the Board of Directors and on the committees on which they sit. They will ask for clarification whenever they deem it necessary, and the Company will provide the necessary resources for this purpose. They will maintain the highest standards of integrity and honesty in the performance of their duties. Directors are authorised to seek independent professional advice, in good faith, at the Company's expense, subject to the prior approval of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and always with the best interests of the Company in mind.

Although they are part of the same collegiate body, both executive and nonexecutive directors each have a specific and complementary role on the Board. The executive directors provide the Board of Directors with all relevant business and financial information to enable it to fulfil its role effectively. The non-executive directors discuss the strategy and key policies proposed by the Executive Committee in a critical and constructive manner and help to develop these in more detail. Non-executive directors should review the performance of the Executive Committee in light of the agreed goals.

Directors must treat confidential

information they have received in their capacity as directors with due care and may use it only in the context of their mandate. The directors share all information at their disposal, which may be relevant to board decision-making, with the full board. In the case of sensitive or confidential information, the directors should consult the chairman.

11.4.5.5 Representation

In accordance with Article 26 of the Articles of Association, the Company shall be validly represented in all its acts, including those in which a public official or ministerial officer cooperates, as well as in judicial matters, either by two directors acting jointly or, within the limits of day-to-day management, by two members of the Executive Committee acting jointly.

11.4.6 Activity report of the Board of Directors

11.4.8 Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has set up Committees in its midst to assist and advise the Board of Directors in their specific areas. They have no decision-making power but report to the Board of Directors, respectively the Executive Committee which takes the final decisions.

11.4.8.1 Nomination and Remuneration

Committee

On 14 February 2018, the Board of Directors decided to set up a Nomination and Remuneration Committee that, in terms of composition, meets the conditions imposed by the Article 7:100 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations (BCCA) and the Code 2020. The chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr Mark Suykens, is chairman of this Committee. Furthermore, until the General Meeting of 29 May 2024, the Committee was composed of three nonexecutive directors, namely Ms Caroline Riské, Ms Brigitte Grouwels and Ms Ingrid Ceusters. Given that Ms Ingrid Ceusters' mandate ended on 29 May 2024, the Committee has since been composed of the chairman, Mr Mark Suykens, and the two non-executive directors Ms Caroline Riské and Ms Brigitte Grouwels. The latter are considered independent directors by the Article 7:87 BCCA. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that they have the required expertise in the field of remuneration policy.

11.4.8.1.1  The role of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is an advisory body within the Board of Directors and will assist and advise in accordance with the Article 7:100 BCCA. It will make proposals to the Board of Directors with regard to the composition and evaluation of the Board of Directors and its interaction with the Executive Committee, the remuneration policy, the individual remuneration of the directors and the members of the Executive Committee, including variable remuneration and longterm performance premiums, that may or may not be linked to shares, in the form of stock options or other financial instruments, and of severance payments, and where applicable, the resulting proposals to be submitted by the Board of Directors to the shareholders.

In its role as remuneration committee, the committee prepares the remuneration report that is added by the Board of Directors in the corporate governance statement as referred to in Article 3:6, §2 BCCA. The remuneration report is further included in this chapter under item '11.11 Remuneration report 2024' on page 110.

11.4.8.1.2  The functioning and responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee shall meet at least twice a year and whenever it deems it necessary for the proper performance of its duties. The Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, in consultation with the CEO, draws up the agenda for each meeting of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee evaluates at least every three years its efficiency, its functioning and its synergy with the Board of Directors, revises its internal regulations and recommends subsequently, when applicable, the necessary modifications to the Board of Directors.

A more detailed description of the role, functioning and responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee can be found in the Charter, which is available on the website www.carepropertyinvest.be.

11.4.8.1.3  Activity report of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee

After each meeting of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Committee's chairman (or, in his absence, a designated member of the Committee) will give an verbal report at the next meeting of the Board of Directors on the performance of his duties and, in particular, the opinions and recommendations of the Committee, so that the Board of Directors can deliberate on them.

During the 2024 financial year, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee met three times to discuss the following matters:

  • Evaluation of the interaction of the nonexecutive directors and the Executive Committee.
  • Review of the performance of the management against the criteria set for the granting of variable remuneration.
  • Proposal to grant tranche of the bonus amount for the 2023 financial year, to be paid in instalments over 2023-2024- 2025.
  • Determination of the parameters of the variable remuneration for the management for the 2024 financial year.

  • Appointment of the Company's new CEO.
  • Appointment of the CLO and CBDO.

11.4.8.2 Audit Committee

The Board of Directors decided on 13 February 2019 to establish an Audit Committee, the composition of which was last changed on 4 September 2024. The composition of the Audit Committee and the qualifications of its members meet the requirements of section 7:99 BCCA, as well as the Code 2020.

Until the General Meeting of 29 May 2024, the committee consisted of five non-executive directors: Mr Paul Van Gorp, as chairman, Mrs Ingrid Ceusters, Mr Mark Suykens, Mrs Brigitte Grouwels and Mr Michel Van Geyte.

In view of the fact that the mandates of Mr Paul Van Gorp and Ms Ingrid Ceusters expired on 29 May 2024, the Board of Directors decided on 4 September 2024 to appoint Mr Dirk Van den Broek as Chairman of the Committee to replace Mr Paul Van Gorp, and Ms Caroline Riské was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee to replace Ms Ingrid Ceusters. Since 4 September 2024, the audit committee once again consists of five nonexecutive directors, namely Mr Dirk Van den Broeck, as chairman, Ms Brigitte Grouwels, Ms Caroline Riské and Messrs Michel Van Geyte and Mark Suykens.

All members of the Audit Committee have the collective expertise required by law with regard to the activities of the audited company. The independent directors who serve on the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of Care Property Invest all meet the criteria set out in Article 7:87 BCCA and the Code 2020.

11.4.8.2.1  The role of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is an advisory body within the Board of Directors that has been charged with the legal task in accordance with article 7:99 BCCA. In summary, the Company's Audit Committee has the task of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of all financial information, both internal and external.

It ensures that the Company's periodic financial reports give a true, fair and clear picture of the situation and of future prospects of the Company and audits in particular the annual and periodic financial statements before they are published. The Audit Committee also verifies the correct and consistent application of the various applied accounting standards and valuation rules. It also monitors the independence of the statutory auditor and has an advisory role during the (re)appointment of the statutory auditor.

11.4.8.2.2  The functioning and responsibilities of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee meets at least 4 times a year, i.e., at the end of each quarter, and then reports its findings to the Board of Directors. Its main tasks are the following:

  • notifying the Board of Directors of the result of the statutory audit of the financial statements and, as the case may be, the consolidated financial statements and explaining how the statutory audit of the financial statements and, as the case may be, the consolidated financial statements contributed to the integrity of the financial reporting and the role played by the Audit Committee in that process;
  • monitoring the Company's quarterly periodic financial reports, consisting of monitoring the integrity and accuracy of the figures and the relevance of the accounting standards applied, and making recommendations or proposals to ensure the integrity of the process;

  • monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems, including the adaptation of the IT system to cover risks relating to IT security and internal security as much as possible, as well as monitoring the internal audit and its effectiveness;

  • following up the recommendations of the external consultant acting as the internal auditor;
  • monitoring the statutory audit of the annual and consolidated financial statements, including following up the questions and recommendations formulated by the statutory auditor;
  • assessing and monitoring the independence of the statutory auditor, in particular assessing whether the provision of additional services to the Company is appropriate. More specifically, the Audit Committee analyses with the statutory auditor the threats to his independence and the security measures taken to mitigate these threats, when the total fees in a public-interest entity, exceed the criteria set out in Article 4, § 3 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014;
  • recommend to the Board of Directors of the Company for the appointment of the statutory auditor and, where appropriate, the auditor responsible for the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Article 16(2) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.

The Company's internal auditor and statutory auditor report to the Audit Committee on the important issues that they identify during their assignment for the statutory audit of the financial statements. The Audit Committee gives an explanation of this to the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the selection, appointment and reappointment of the external auditor and regarding the conditions of his appointment. The Board of Directors submits the Audit Committee's proposal to the shareholders for approval. A more detailed description of the role, functioning and responsibilities of the Audit Committee has been included in the Charter, which is available on the website www.carepropertyinvest.be.

11.4.8.3 Investment Committee

The Board of Directors decided on 13 February 2019 to establish an Investment Committee. It is an advisory body that advises the Board of Directors on investment and disinvestment dossiers. The committee does not make decisions. In this way, the Company aims to speed up the decision-making process with regard to these investment dossiers.

Its members have the desired professional experience and educational background in various fields within both the real estate and economic sectors. This allows the different skills of its members to be deployed according to the nature and needs of the investment file submitted.

Until the General Meeting of 29 May 2024, the committee consisted of four nonexecutive directors: Mr Mark Suykens as chairman, Mr Michel Van Geyte, Ms Caroline Riské and Mr Paul Van Gorp. Given that Mr Paul Van Gorp's mandate ended on 29 May 2024, the committee has since been composed of the chairman, Mr Mark Suykens, and the two non-executive directors Mrs Caroline Riské and Mr Michel Van Geyte. The independent directors who have a seat on the Investment Committee all meet the criteria set out in section 7:87 BCCA and the 2020 Code.

11.4.8.3.1  The role of the Investment Committee

The Investment Committee is an advisory body charged with the task of advising on investment and possible divestment files in order to speed up the decision-making process. The Board of Directors, respectively the Executive Committee, remains responsible for supervising and taking the final decision on this matter. The Investment Committee carries out its task in accordance with the Company's Integrity Policy.

11.4.8.3.2  The functioning and responsibilities of the Investment Committee

The Investment Committee meets on an ad hoc basis, i.e., whenever the discussion of a concrete file is deemed necessary. The Investment Committee then formulates its findings and verdict on a file to the Board of Directors. The final decision on a handled file is always taken by the Board of Directors, respectively the Executive Committee of the Company.

The Investment Committee is responsible for the following tasks:

  • selection of investment files (or possible divestment files)
  • analysis of investment files (or possible divestment files)
  • preparation of investment files (or possible divestment files)
  • following up on the negotiations

In the Charter, which is available on the Company's website, www.carepropertyinvest.be, a more detailed description of the role, functioning and responsibilities of the Investment Committee is included.

See further in the remuneration report, point '11.11.2.4 Overview of the remuneration for directorships in the 2024 financial year' on page 112 hereafter.

11.6 Statements concerning the directors, effective leaders and members of the management team (Annex I to the Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2019/980)

All directors of the Company have declared that they have not been convicted of fraud offences during the aforementioned five years.

In addition, all directors of the Company have declared that, as members of a management, executive or supervisory body, they have not been involved in any bankruptcy, suspension of payments or liquidation or any company under administration during the aforementioned five years. However, Valérie Jonkers, Willy Pintens and Peter Van Heukelom were members and directors of Frontida, a nonprofit association with registered offices at Horstebaan 3, 2900 Schoten, registered in the Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen under number 0505.856.879. This NPO was established within the framework of the subscription to a public tender relating to a project of the Company for the realisation of facilities for elderly care in Balen (Belgium). This NPO was dissolved, with immediate closure of the settlement, on 29 December 2021, as the public tender was not awarded to the Company and the NPO was never operationally active, leaving the NPO with no reason to exist.

Additionally, all directors have declared that they have not been the subject of any official and publicly expressed accusations and/or sanctions imposed by any statutory or supervisory authority, nor have they been declared incompetent to act as (i) members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies of an issuer or (ii) as part of the management or pursuit of the activities of an issuer by any court.

No family relationships exist between the members of the administrative, management or supervisory bodies.

The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with the members of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies. Only severance pay is planned in the management agreements with the executive management (the CEO, CFO, COO, CLO and CBDO), which never amounts to more than eighteen months of the annual (fixed) remuneration.

11.7 Diversity policy

The Board of Directors takes into account gender diversity, diversity in general and complementarity in terms of skills, experience and knowledge when defining the long-term values, core policies, standards and objectives of the Company. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee also takes this intended diversity within the Board of Directors into account when formulating advice regarding the appointment of directors, members of the Executive Committee and other leaders.

After all, such a diversity policy makes it possible to approach problems from different points of view within the Board of Directors and within the Executive Committee, thus contributing to balanced decision-making.

On the basis of Article 7:86 BCCA, at least one third of the members of the Board of Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) must be of a different gender from the other members. As at 31 December 2024, the Board of Directors consists of three women and six men, as a result of which this one-third rule has already been complied with.

Care Property Invest will continue to strive to maintain this gender diversity when proposals for appointment are considered.

11.8 Prevention of conflicts of interest

Each director and effective manager is encouraged to arrange his/her personal and business affairs so as to avoid any direct or indirect conflicts of interest with the Company.

With regard to the regulation of conflicts of interest, the Company is subject to the legal rules, being articles 7:86 BCCA and 36 to 38 of the RREC Law and the rules in its Articles of Association and in the Charter.

Without prejudice to the application of legal procedures, the Company's Charter sets out specific procedures to offer a way of resolving potential conflicts.

The Board of Directors ensures that the Company is managed exclusively in the Company's interests and in accordance with the provisions of the RREC legislation. The integrity policy attached to the Charter also sets out rules relating to conflicts of interest.

11.8.1 Conflicts of interest relating to directors / members of the Executive Committee

If a director has, directly or indirectly, an interest of a proprietary nature that conflicts with a decision or transaction falling within the competence of the Board of Directors, he or she must comply with the provisions of Article7:96 BCCA by communicating this to the other directors before the Board of Directors makes a decision and abstain from voting. This means that all directors must notify the Board of Directors and the statutory auditor of any conflicts of interest when they arise and must abstain from voting on these matters. Any abstention due to a conflict of interest must be disclosed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BCCA and is therefore reported in the annual report.

The members of the Board of Directors must also comply with Articles 36 to 38 of the RREC Law. In addition to the provisions of the BCCA and the rules on conflict of interest arising from the RREC Law, Care Property Invest requires each (managing) director or member of the Executive Committee to avoid conflict of interest as far as possible.

If a conflict of interest (not covered by the statutory regulations on conflicts of interest) nevertheless arises in relation to a matter that falls within the competence of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee, and on which it must take a decision, the director in question must notify his or her fellow directors of this. They then decide whether the member concerned may or may not vote on the matter to which the conflict of interest relates and whether he/she may attend the discussions on this matter. It is explicitly made clear here that non-compliance with the above (additional) rules on conflicts of interest cannot affect the validity of decisionmaking by the Board of Directors.

11.8.1.1 Conflicts of interest relating to transactions with affiliated companies

Care Property Invest also serves the procedure of the then applicable Article 7:97 BCCA. In the 2024 financial year, the Company had no persons qualifying as affiliated persons within the meaning of Section 7:97 BCCA, being natural persons or legal entities affiliated with the Company and which are not a subsidiary of the Company.

11.8.1.2 Conflicts of interest concerning transactions with affiliated persons, the effective managers and staff of the

company

Transactions between the Company or an affiliated company and a member of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee or member of staff must always be conducted at market-based conditions, under the supervision of the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to Article 37 of the RREC Law, the Company must notify the FSMA in advance if one of the persons referred to below acts as a counterparty in a property transaction with the Company or with a company over which it has control, or if any benefits are gained through such a transaction by persons including those listed below: • the persons who control the public

  • -

RREC or hold participating interests in it; • the promoters of the public RREC;

• the persons with whom the RREC or a promoter of the RREC are affiliated or with which the RREC or a promoter of the RREC have a participating interest relationship;

• the directors, managers, members of the Executive Committee, the persons responsible for the daily management, the effective leaders of the RREC or the promoters of the RREC, or the persons who control the Company or hold participating interests in the Company.

In its notification of the FSMA, the RREC must show its interest in the planned transaction and that the transaction in question forms part of the normal activities of the RREC. If the FSMA finds that the information in the aforementioned notice is insufficient, incomplete, inconclusive or irrelevant, it shall notify the RREC accordingly. If no action is taken in response, the FSMA may publish its position.

These transactions must be conducted on an arm's length basis.

When a transaction that takes place in the circumstances described above relates to property as referred to in Article 47 § 1 of the RREC Law, the valuation of the expert is binding for the RREC (for determining the minimum price in the case of a transfer, or the maximum price in the case of an acquisition).

The transactions referred to above, as well as the information contained in the preceding notice to the FSMA, must be disclosed immediately and explained in the annual report and the statutory auditor's report.

Pursuant to Article 38 of the RREC Law, these provisions do not apply to:

  • transactions relating to a sum of less than the lower of 1% of the Company's consolidated assets and €2,500,000;
  • the acquisition of securities by the Company in connection with a public issue by a third-party issuer for which a promoter of the RREC or one of the persons referred to in Article 37 § 1 of the RREC Law act as intermediaries within the meaning of Article 2, 10° of the Act of 2 August 2002;
  • the acquisition of or subscription to shares in the Company issued pursuant to a decision of the general meeting by the persons referred to in Article 37 § 1 of the RREC Law; and
  • transactions relating to cash and cash equivalents of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, provided that the person acting as the counterparty has the status of intermediary within the meaning of Article 2, 10°, of the Act of 2 August 2002 and that these transactions are conducted at market-based conditions.

11.8.2 Conflicts of interest procedure during the 2024 financial year

Pursuant to Article 7:96 BCCA, a director who has a direct or indirect interest of a patrimonial nature that conflicts with the Company's interest in connection with a decision or transaction that falls within the competence of the Board of Directors must notify the other directors thereof before the Board of Directors takes a decision. The conflicted director's statement and explanation of the nature of this conflicting interest shall be minuted. In the minutes, the Board of Directors shall describe the nature of the decision or transaction and its patrimonial consequences for the Company and justify the decision taken. This part of the minutes shall be included in full in the annual report or in a document filed together with the financial statements. The minutes shall be communicated to the statutory auditor without delay.

In the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 6 March 2024, a conflict of interest was noted on behalf of Messrs Peter Van Heukelom, Filip Van Zeebroeck, Michel Van Geyte and Ms Valérie Jonkers. The minutes state:

'Peter Van Heukelom, Valérie Jonkers and Filip Van Zeebroeck declare to have, in application of Article 7: 96 of the Code of Companies and Associations to have an interest of a patrimonial nature, contradictory to that of the Company, in relation to the decision on the agenda under sub-paragraphs 12.2 and 13.3, since on the one hand they are directors of the Company and on the other hand, as managers of the Company, they are beneficiaries of the bonus amount for the 2023 financial year and of the Company's (variable) remuneration policy for the 2024 financial year and the short- and long-term bonus regulations apply to them (the Variable Remuneration). As such, the decision regarding the Variable Remuneration may have proprietary implications for Peter Van Heukelom, Valérie Jonkers and Filip Van Zeebroeck that are contrary to the interest of the Company, as each would (could) be entitled to remuneration at the Company's expense pursuant to the Variable Remuneration.'

'Michel Van Geyte, Valérie Jonkers and Filip Van Zeebroeck declare in application of Article 7:96 of the Code of Companies and Associations (BCCA), to have an interest of a patrimonial nature, contradictory to that of the Company, with regard to decision sub 16.2, since this agenda item deals with their reappointment as directors. As such, the decision regarding their reappointment may have property law consequences for Michel Van Geyte, Valérie Jonkers and Filip Van Zeebroeck that conflict with the interests of the Company, as each of them could claim compensation from the Company following their reappointment.

The Company is further not aware of any potential conflicts of interest between the directors' duties to the Company, on the one hand, and their own interests and/or their other duties, on the other, except in relation to (the remuneration under) the management agreements with the CEO, CFO, COO, CBDO and CLO. However, the Board of Directors does not expect these circumstances to result in the CEO, CFO, COO, CBDO and CLO having a conflict of interest in relation to their duties to the Company.

11.8.3 Supervison of transactions in Care Property Invest shares

The Board of Directors has published its policy on the prevention of market abuse and insider trading in the Charter.

The independent compliance function is carried out by Mr Jan Van Beers. The Company has drawn up a charter of the compliance function in which the objective and the functioning of the compliance function are set out in accordance with the FSMA circular. The Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the staff of the Company have taken note of this Charter.

The compliance officer ensures, amongst other things, that the rules of conduct and the declarations relating to transactions on Care Property Invest shares, carried out by directors and other insiders for their own account, are observed, in order to limit the risk of insider trading.

11.9 The powers of the administrative body, in particular with regard to the possibility of issuing or repurchasing shares

In response to the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2020, the Board of Directors is allowed to acquire and hold in pledge own shares with a maximum of ten per cent (10%) of the total issued shares, to a unit price not lower than ninety per cent (90%) of the average rate of the last thirty (30) days of the listing of the share on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels, nor higher than hundred and ten per cent (110%) of the average rate of the last thirty (30) days of the listing of the share on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels, or a maximum increase or decrease of ten per cent (10%) in comparison with the above mentioned rate.

This approbation is granted for a renewable period of five (5) years, counting from publication in the attachment of the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2020.

The Board of Directors is permitted, in particular, to acquire, hold in pledge and sell the own shares of the Company without prior decision of the General Meeting when this acquirement or sale is necessary to avoid serious or threatening damage to the Company for a duration of five (5) years, counting from publication in the Belgian Official Gazette of the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 15 June 2020.

The Company can sell its own shares, in or out of stock market, with respect to the conditions set by the Board of Directors, without prior permission of the general meeting, provided they respect the applicable market regulations.

Pursuant to this authorisation, the Board of Directors is authorised to alienate its own shares listed within the meaning of Article 1:11 BCCA within the meaning of Article 7:218, §1, paragraph 1, 2° BCCA, on the basis of which the Board of Directors is also authorised to alienate its own shares without the authorisation of the General Meeting.

The permissions that are mentioned above are also applicable to the acquisition and sale of shares of the Company by one or multiple direct subsidiaries, in terms of the legal regulations concerning the acquisition of shares of the parent company by its subsidiaries.

In the 2024 financial year, the Company did not acquire any treasury shares. The Company no longer holds any treasury shares as at 31 December 2024.

11.10 Evaluation process

Under the direction of its Chairman, the Board of Directors evaluates, every two to three years, its size, composition, operation and interaction with the Executive Committee. Prior to any reappointment of directors, the individual contribution, commitment and effectiveness of each director shall be assessed in accordance with the evaluation procedure.

  • The evaluation process has four objectives:
  • assessing the functioning of the Board of Directors;
  • checking that important items of business are thoroughly prepared and discussed;
  • evaluating the actual contribution of each director, his or her attendance of meetings of the Board and his or her constructive involvement in discussions and decision-making;
  • examining whether the current composition of the Board of Directors corresponds to the desirable composition.

The non-executive directors should regularly (preferably once a year) assess their interaction with the Executive Committee. They must meet for this purpose at least once a year, in the absence of the Executive Committee members.

The contribution of each director is reviewed periodically - taking account of changing circumstances - in order to be able to adjust the composition of the Board of Directors.

The Board should act on the basis of the results of the evaluation by recognising its strengths and addressing its weaknesses. Where appropriate, this will mean that nominations are made for new members, proposals are made to either or not reappoint existing members or that measures are taken that are deemed to be conducive to the effective functioning of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors ensures that the necessary measures are taken to provide for orderly succession of the members of the Board of Directors. The Board also ensures that all appointments and reappointments of both executive and non-executive directors make it possible to maintain an appropriate balance of skills and experience on the

Board.

The Board of Directors is assisted in this evaluation process by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

11.11 Remuneration report 2024

The other non-executive directors received an annual fixed remuneration of €10,000, calculated pro rata for the non-executive directors whose term of office ended after the Annual General Meeting of 29 May 2024. In addition, the non-executive directors received an attendance fee of €750 per attendance at the respective meetings of the Board of Directors, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Audit Committee and the Investment Committee.

  • (4) The mandate of Ingrid Ceusters and Paul Van Gorp ended after the Ordinary General Meeting of 29/5/2024.

11.11.3 Remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee In general

The Board of Directors decided on 6 March 2024 to appoint Philip De Monie, CBDO and Willem Van Gaver, CLO as effective leader and member of the Executive Committee as from 1 July 2024. As announced in the Company's press release of 20 June 2024, the Board of Directors decided to appoint a new CEO to succeed Peter Van Heukelom, who will retire on 1 January 2025. Patrick Couttenier, who will officially take up his position as CEO and chairman of the Executive Committee / effective leader on 1 January 2025, started preparing for his new assignment on 1 October 2024 to ensure a smooth transition and is therefore considered a member of the Executive Committee. In view of a transparent reporting, his remuneration is therefore included in this remuneration report.

The remuneration level of the members of the Executive Committee is - in their capacity of member of the Executive Committee - determined by the Board of Directors, upon advice of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and is based on their respective management contracts.

In accordance with the remuneration policy as approved by the General Meeting of 25 May 2022, these contracts provide for a fixed remuneration, a variable remuneration in the form of short-term and longterm bonuses and other components (hospitalisation insurance, meal vouchers (CEO Peter Van Heukelom only) and benefits in kind such as a company car, mobile phone and laptop). Deviations from the current remuneration policy are explained where necessary in this report.

The net proceeds of the short-term incentive over the performance periods 2022-2024, 2023-2024 and 2024 (which is linked to performance conditions) can be used by the beneficiary to purchase shares of the Company with a lock-up discount.

In 2022, a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) linked to performance related conditions as part of the variable remuneration, was introduced. The LTIP consists of a so-called cash performance plan with a three-year performance period, under which the beneficiaries can use the net cash proceeds to acquire shares of the Company as part of a lock-up discounted share purchase plan.

Fixed remuneration

The fixed remuneration consists of (i) an indexed annual (gross) base remuneration, payable in monthly instalments, including a representation allowance and (ii) an insurance 'individual pension commitment' with certain contributions and additional coverage (the amounts are included in the table 'Overall overview of (gross) remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee (effective leaders) in the 2024 financial year').

Short-term annual incentive

To better align the short-term incentive with the Company's strategy, in line with the applicable remuneration policy as approved by the General Meeting of 25 May 2022, the performance criteria were changed to (i) EPS according to budget, (ii) operating margin and (iii) a short-term ESG performance target, being over the 2024 financial year the achievement of an 90% portfolio EMS coverage ratio (energy and water consumption monitoring system). The performance criteria are in line with the Company's overall strategy with (i) qualitative criteria, (ii) a benchmark and (iii) the clear thresholds set for both underperformance and overperformance.

The predetermined short-term incentive corresponds to an amount equal to 50% of the beneficiary's annual fixed remuneration. If less than 80% of the performance criteria (as indicated below) are achieved over a performance period, no short-term incentive will be awarded. If the minimum performance threshold is reached, the amount amounts to 40% of the annual fixed remuneration. Additionally, the incentive will be capped at 60% of the annual fixed remuneration (120% of the target bonus of 50%), particularly if the performance criteria are achieved for (more than) 110%. The short-term incentive will therefore vary between 0 and 60% of annual fixed remuneration, depending on the achievement of the performance criteria. The target, threshold and maximum performance levels are set annually at the beginning of a performance period based on a number of internal and external benchmarks. The performance targets are ambitious but achievable, taking into account the specific strategic priorities and the economic climate in a given year.

Performance (% target)
(incentive zone)
Incentive (% target bonus)
(pay-out zone)
% of fixed remuneration
Performed below target 80-90% 80% 40%
Performed in line with target 90-110% 100% 50%

The short-term incentive is calculated and paid over three performance periods: 50% based on a oneyear performance period (first performance period); 25% one year later over a two-year performance period (second performance period) and 25% two years later over a three-year performance period (third performance period), subject to and to the extent of achieving the performance targets in the respective performance periods.

The total net vested part of the short-term incentive can be used after the third performance period by the beneficiary to purchase shares of the Company at a price per share equal to 100/120 of the VWAP of the last 20 trading days subject to compliance with a lock-up commitment of three (3) years.

On 3 March 2025, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee verified the extent to which the financial and non-financial targets for the 2022-2024, 2023-2024 and 2024 performance periods had been realised. The Board of Directors meeting of 5 March 2025, following a positive recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, determined that the targets had been met, as shown below.

Part of the annual short-term bonus for the financial years 2022 - 2023 - 2024, vested as at 31 December 2024, in accordance with the remuneration policy dated 25 May 2022

For the 2022 financial year, the 'on target' short-term bonus for the period 2022-2024 is set at 50% of the fixed remuneration. The bonus will be determined and paid out in instalments over three performance periods. The final instalment of 25% was earned over the third performance period (which runs from 01/01/2022 to 31/12/2024), amounting to €84,781 for the CEO and €43,929 for the CFO and COO, and paid out at the beginning of 2025.

The incentive is spread over three performance years; for the second performance period (which runs from 01/01/2023 up to and including 31/12/2024), the second instalment of 25% was vested, being an amount of €93,794 for the CEO and €48,599 for the CFO and COO each, and paid out in early 2025.

Part of the annual short-term bonus for the financial years 2024 - 2025 - 2026, vested as at 31 December 2024, in accordance with the remuneration policy dated 25 May 2022 During the financial year 2024, the 'on target' short-term bonus for the period 2024-2026 is set at 50% of the fixed remuneration. The bonus is determined and paid out in instalments over three performance periods. The first instalment of 50% of the first performance period (which runs from 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2024) was earned and paid out at the beginning of 2025, amounting to €189,993 for the CEO and €98,445 for the CFO and COO. The other half of this short-term bonus will be determined and paid out in two instalments of 25% each under the conditions as stipulated in the remuneration policy and as set out above, based on the performance of the CEO, CFO and COO in the second performance period (2024-2025) and the third performance period (2024- 2025-2026). In view of the CEO's resignation as of 1 January 2025, with the CEO qualifying as a 'good leaver', the CEO's short-term bonus over the second and third performance period will be calculated and paid out on a pro rata basis.

Regarding the CBDO and the CLO, who are part of the Executive Committee as from 1 July 2024, the Board of Directors has decided to award a short-term bonus ('on target') of €52,500 each for the period from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2024, in deviation from the remuneration policy. The Board of Directors linked the payment of this annual bonus to the same performance criteria as those of the other members of the Executive Committee, namely the CEO, CFO and COO. In deviation from the remuneration policy applicable to the aforementioned members of the Executive Committee, this short-term bonus will be paid out in full at the beginning of 2025. The Board of Directors considers this deviation from the remuneration policy, which does not provide for a scheme for members of the Executive Committee other than the CEO, CFO and COO, to be justified and in line with the market, as the amount is in line with the 2022 remuneration policy, i.e. 50% of the fixed salary, and is also substantially lower than the short-term bonuses of the other members of the Executive Committee. The immediate payment of the short-term bonus of the CBDO and CLO is also justified by the fact that an amended remuneration policy will be submitted to the Ordinary General Meeting of 28 May 2025, and a new comprehensive scheme can thus be agreed with the CBDO and CLO.

Long-term annual incentive (performance cash plan)

As described in the remuneration policy approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders of 2022, the Company started in the 2022 financial year to annually award the beneficiaries a conditional long-term incentive depending on the degree of achievement of performance targets over a period of three years. This long-term annual incentive will be paid each time in the third financial year following the financial year of grant (a first time in 2025 over the performance period 2022 up to and including 2024).

The target amount of the long-term incentive is €200,000 for the CEO and €150,000 each for the CFO and COO. If the minimum performance threshold is reached, the amount equals €160,000 for the CEO and €120,000 each for the CFO and COO. The long-term incentive is capped at €240,000 for the CEO and for the CFO and COO €180,000 each in case of overperformance.

Performed above target > 110% 120% (capped) €240,000 / €180,000

The net cash proceeds from the payment of the long-term incentive can be used by the beneficiaries to purchase shares of the Company at a price per share equal to 100/120 of the VWAP of the last 20 trading days subject to compliance with a lock-up commitment of three years.

The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, sets annual targets for each three-year performance period using the performance criteria included in the remuneration policy. For the non-financial criterion, the sustainability roadmap shown in the Company's Sustainable Finance Framework is used as a guide.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee checks within the first three months of the financial year following the end of the three-year performance period to what extent the financial targets have been met, following the adoption of the annual results by the Board of Directors. The predetermined ESG target is evaluated by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on the basis of the results included in the sustainability report for that financial year.

The performance criteria for the first three-year performance period (2022 financial year up to and including 2024) for the long-term incentive (LTI) were set in 2022 in accordance with the remuneration policy by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

The first three-year performance period was completed on 31 December 2024. On 5 March 2025, the Board of Directors determined the degree to which the objectives had been achieved, after evaluation of the parameters listed below by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on 3 March 2025.

(1) On 8 March 2023, the Board of Directors approved a change in strategy, deciding to adjust the investment rate to the changed market conditions. From that moment on, it became (virtually) impossible to fully meet this criterion. For that reason, on 5 March 2025, on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of 3 March 2025, the Board of Directors decided to apply a pro rata allocation of 60% for this criterion.

The LTIP for the financial years 2023 to 2025 and 2024 to 2026 respectively are still ongoing and the realisation of the objectives will be reported in the next remuneration reports.

(1) Even though Patrick Couttenier (the new CEO) will only be included in the short-term bonus plan from the 2025 financial year onwards, and is therefore not included in the table above, he is considered an effective leader as of his appointment on 1 October 2024.

(2) Regarding the CBDO and CLO, both members of the Executive Committee as of 1/7/2024, the Board of Directors decided upon their appointment to deviate from the remuneration policy and pay the short-term bonus amounting to 50% of their fixed management remuneration, being €52,500 each, in a single payment in 2025 (see also the explanation on page 113 regarding the short-term bonus for the 2024 financial year). The Board of Directors considers this deviation from the remuneration policy, which does not provide for a scheme for members of the Executive Committee other than the CEO, CFO and COO, to be justified and in line with the market, as the amount is in line with the 2022 remuneration policy, i.e. 50% of the fixed salary, and is also substantially lower than the short-term bonuses of the other members of the Executive Committee. The immediate payment of the short-term bonus of the CBDO and CLO is also justified by the fact that an amended remuneration policy will be submitted to the Ordinary General Meeting of 28 May 2025, and a new comprehensive scheme can thus be agreed with the CBDO and CLO.

  • (1) Patrick Couttenier, appointed CEO and chairman of the Executive Committee/effective leader on 01/01/2025, took over the mandates of Peter Van Heukelom, who retired on 01/01/2025. To ensure a smooth transfer of duties, Patrick Couttenier began preparing for his new assignment on 01/10/2024 (see also the Company's press release dated 20/06/2024). He is therefore considered a member of the Executive Committee for the reporting of his remuneration. Since the 2022 remuneration policy is silent on the remuneration of a new future CEO, the Board of Directors has based Patrick Couttenier's remuneration package on external advice and a benchmark with similar companies. The Board of Directors is therefore of the opinion that Patrick Couttenier's fixed remuneration is in line with the market and competitive, but also in the interest of the Company.
  • (2) The Board of Directors decided on 05/06/2024, after positive recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of 05/06/2024, to deviate from the remuneration policy and to provide a one-off signing bonus of €215,000 for Patrick Couttenier, payable in March 2025 to the extent that Patrick Couttenier's management agreement has not been terminated on 07/03/2025. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that this decision can be justified for the following reasons: (i) it concerns a one-off payment, (ii) in accordance with the 2022 remuneration policy, the amount has been limited as much as possible to the value of the loss of the (short-term and longterm) performance-related pay that Patrick Couttenier would have received from his previous employer, (iii) Patrick Couttenier will not receive any variable remuneration for the 2024 financial year, (iv) Patrick Couttenier has an obligation to acquire a substantial number of shares in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy.
  • (3) The members of the Executive Committee (with the exception of Willy Pintens and Dirk Van den Broeck) have the option of spending a certain sum on the premium for their individual pension commitment and guaranteed income within the limits of their fixed remuneration.
  • (4) Philip De Monie, CBDO, and Willem Van Gaver, CLO, were appointed on 01/07/2024 as effective leaders to replace the managing directors Willy Pintens and Dirk Van den Broeck, whose mandates expired on 01/07/2024. The CBDO and CLO do not receive additional remuneration or attendance fees for their participation in the Executive Committee. Willy Pintens and Dirk Van den Broeck participated in the Executive Committee meetings eight times (until the end of their term as managing director on 01/07/2024). page 112The remuneration (mandate and attendance fees) of both directors for participation in the Board of Directors and its committees is included in the table on page XX under point 1.1.2.4. 'Overview of the remuneration of the directorships in the 2024 financial year'.
  • (5) On 05/06/2024, following the positive recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of 05/06/2024, the Board of Directors approved the management agreements for the CBDO and CLO, including the payment in early 2025 of a short-term bonus for the last two quarters of the 2024 financial year. The Board of Directors considers this deviation from the remuneration policy, which does not provide for a scheme for members of the Executive Committee other than the CEO, CFO and COO, to be justified and in line with the market, as the amount is in line with the 2022 remuneration policy, i.e. 50% of the fixed salary, and is also substantially lower than the shortterm bonuses of the other members of the Executive Committee.

11.11.4 Annual change in the average remuneration of the employees and effective leaders and the annual change in the performance of the Company, over the last five financial years The ratio between the remuneration of the CEO for the 2024 financial year and the lowest remuneration (in fulltime equivalent) of the employees is 11.44.

  • (1) The average remuneration of the employees was calculated by dividing the total gross salary of the employees in service on 31/12 by the total FTE on closing date 31/12.
  • (2) This overview only takes into account the fixed remuneration of CEO Peter Van Heukelom.
  • (3) Due to the inclusion of attendance fees, the fixed remuneration of the managing directors (other than the CEO, CFO and COO) fluctuates from year to year. On 01/07/2024, the CBDO and CLO replaced the two managing directors as effective leaders (with management remuneration) who only received remuneration for the exercise of their mandate as (managing) director, supplemented by attendance fees. This change explains the increase in the fixed remuneration of the effective leaders in 2024 compared to 2023.

11.11.5 Severance pay

On 1 July 2024, managing directors Willy Pintens and Dirk Van den Broeck left the Executive Committee. Willy Pintens also ended his term as a director on 31 December 2024. No severance pay was awarded or paid to them in 2024.

Peter Van Heukelom, CEO, is retired as of 1 January 2025. His term of office as managing director has ended, but he will remain on the Board of Directors as a non-executive director. No severance pay was awarded or paid to him in 2024. On the contrary, it has been agreed with Peter Van Heukelom that he will relinquish his pro rata LTIP for the financial years 2023 to 2025 and 2024 to 2026 respectively.

11.11.6 Reclaiming of variable remuneration

No variable remuneration was reclaimed in 2024.

11.11.7 Deviations from the remuneration policy

There was no deviation in 2024 from the remuneration policy approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on 25 May 2022, except for the following:

  • The determination of the remuneration and payment of the short-term bonus for the CBDO and CLO for the 2024 financial year;
  • The determination of the remuneration and awarding of a one-off sign-on bonus for the new CEO in the context of his appointment.

An explanation and justification for the aforementioned deviations is included in this remuneration report where necessary. In general terms, the aforementioned deviations can be justified because the 2022 remuneration policy does not in any way provide for a scheme for members of the Executive Committee other than the CEO, CFO and COO. With this in mind, the Board of Directors has therefore tried to align itself as much as possible with the 2022 remuneration policy.

11.12 Other relevant parties

11.12.1 The auditor

The audit of the financial situation, the financial statements and the regularity in terms of the BCCA and the Articles of Association of the operations of the Company, shall be entrusted to one or more statutory auditors appointed by the auditors or firms of auditors approved by the FSMA in compliance with Article 222 of the Law of 25 April 2014 concerning the Articles of Association and supervision of credit institutions.

The General Meeting of 25 May 2022 reappointed the limited liability company EY Bedrijfsrevisoren bv, with registered office at Kouterveldstraat 7B 001, 1831 Diegem, registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 0446.334.711 (RPR Brussels) as statutory auditor for a period of three years. This company has appointed Mrs Christel Weymeersch, company auditor, as representative authorised to represent it and charged with the performance of the mandate in the name and on behalf of EY Bedrijfsrevisoren. The mandate expires after the general meeting that must approve the financial statements for the 2024 financial year.

The fees at consolidated level of the current statutory auditor for the 2024 financial year amount to €118,615 excluding VAT and costs, and are broken down as follows:

Amounts in EUR 31/12/2024 31/12/2023
Mandate 96,915 99,144
Other audit assignments 7,000 7,000
Other non-audit assignments 14,700 14,600

No separate fee or split is provided for the representative of the statutory auditor. The other tasks outside the auditing tasks have always been approved in advance by the Audit Committee of the Company.

11.12.2 Internal audit

The internal audit function within the meaning of article 17 §3 of the RREC Law is fulfilled by an external consultant (also referred to as an external internal auditor), who is appointed by means of an agreement on outsourcing the 'internal auditing function'. To fill the internal audit function during the 2023-2025 financial years, a fixed-term agreement was concluded on 6 December 2022 with BDO Advisory bv, with registered office at rue Stassart 35, 1050 Brussels, represented by Mr Wim Verbelen and effective from 1 February 2023. The remuneration paid in 2024 for this audit assignment amounted to €17,600 excluding VAT.

11.12.3 Real estate expert

The Company appoints three real estate experts to value the property portfolio (in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland) based on a fixed-term agreement.

The real estate expert, Stadim CVBA, was appointed for a new period of three years with effect from 1 January 2023. The fee is determined according to the nature of the property to be valued (residential care centre or groups of assisted living apartments), the number of units and the valuation method (full report on initial valuation or quarterly valuation). The fee is therefore independent of the fair value of the property. The fee for the valuations of the real estate portfolio in the 2024 financial year amounts to €195,852 (amounts are subject to indexation) and is determined as follows:

Assisted living apartments Residential care centres
€ 50 per unit € 80 per unit (for the first 40 units)
first entry at € 1,250 € 40 per unit (from the 41st unit)
projects in project phase at 75% first valuation at 30% with a minimum of € 1,500
final valuation at 50% with a minimum of € 1,000
projects in project phase at 75%

On 1 April 2023, Cushman & Wakefield was appointed for a new period of three years. The fee is based on the number of residential units and the valuation method (full report at initial valuation or quarterly or annual valuation), but with a maximum fee per property. The fee is thus independent of the fair value of the properties. The fee for the valuation of the properties in portfolio in the 2024 financial year amounts to €110,150 and is determined as follows:

Quarterly valuation Annual valuation Comprehensive
valuation report
Fee per property €750 €1.000 €2,250
Fee per bed €10 €15 €20
Maximum fee per property €1,600 €2,500 €4,000

Cushman & Wakefield also performs the valuation for the finance leases as from 1 April 2023. The remuneration per lease amounts to €160 per quarter.

On 30 March 2022, an agreement was entered into with CBRE Unlimited Company as thirdparty appraiser for a period of 3 years. The fee is determined on the number of residential units (4 price divisions according to the number of residential units), with a maximum remuneration per property. A discount is granted if the portfolio has a minimum number of properties in its portfolio. The fee is thus independent of the fair value of the property. The remuneration for the valuation of portfolio properties in the 2024 financial year amounts to €42,149 and is determined as follows:

Quarterly valuation Annual valuation Comprehensive
valuation report
Minimum fee per property €1,100 €1,350 €5,100
Maximum fee per property €1,250 €1,500 €5,350

Sustainability Statement

III. Sustainability Statement

1. General information 1.1 Basis for preparation

ESRS 2, BP-1; BP-2

The sustainability statement has been prepared on a consolidated basis, following the same principles as the financial statements. It encompasses ESG information for the parent company, Care Property Invest NV, and all its subsidiaries. The statement considers all material actors in both the upstream and downstream value chain. For more details on the value chain, please refer to chapter 1.2.2 of this sustainability statement.

Care Property Invest remains committed to advancing its sustainability reporting in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). While there is uncertainty regarding our future sustainability reporting obligations, we are committed to monitoring regulatory developments closely and will act accordingly to ensure compliance. Regardless of the outcome of the reporting legislation, our sustainability strategy, commitments, and targets remain unchanged. We will continue to integrate sustainability into our operations and investment decisions, maintaining our long-term focus on responsible real estate. Moreover, by aligning with international sustainability frameworks, including GRI, EPRA sBPR, TCFD and Euronext ESG Guidelines, we continuously strive to enhance transparency and accountability in our sustainability practices.

Appendix I provides an overview of our reporting parameters and definitions used.

1.2 Sustainability commitments and priorities

As an investor, employer, and partner for our care providers, united by a common vision for our residents, Care Property Invest acknowledges its corporate responsibility and strives to fulfil its role in pursuing these objectives. Our aspiration is to become a leader in sustainability within the healthcare real estate industry. To prepare for the upcoming demands, such as the ageing population, rising disparities, climate change, and energy transition, we must address significant obstacles and look to the

future.

Our robust ESG strategy is fundamental to creating a resilient and future-proof company. We have identified three key impact areas environmental, social, and governance - that align with our commitment to sustainable development. In line with these impact areas, we have made firm commitments to continuously

1.2.1 Our long-term commitment

  • (1) Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction, International Energy Agency and the United Nations Environment Programme (2019): 2019 global status report for buildings and construction: Towards a zero-emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction sector.
  • (2) Kepler Cheuvreux (March 2021): Equity research ESG set to rock property.
  • (3) The European Green Deal is Europe's growth strategy with the ambition to become the first continent to be climate neutral by 2050.

ESRS 2, SBM-1

The impact of the real estate sector on the environment is significant, as the sector accounts for 36% of global energy use and 39% of carbon emissions, according to United Nations estimates(1). To achieve the IPCC's 2°C and 1.5°C scenarios, a reduction of 78% and 91% in greenhouse gas emissions respectively is projected to be necessary(2). In response to this challenge, various initiatives have been launched in recent years to support the transition of the real estate landscape. The EU Green Deal(3), for example, seeks to promote the building of energy and resource-efficient social housing of the future, with a focus on digitalisation, circular economy, and climate proofing of the building stock.

improve our operations and reduce any negative impact on the environment, while also promoting the well-being and development of our employees, stakeholders, and the communities we operate in.

At Care Property Invest, we are committed to responsible corporate governance and ethical business practices. We believe that by incorporating sustainability into our business strategy, we can create long-term value for all stakeholders, whilst also contributing towards a sustainable future for the planet.

Our three impact areas are reinforced by the following commitments:

    1. Investing in sustainable buildings
    1. Building lasting relationships
    1. Leading through ethical practices

investors while generating meaningful social value by responding to the growing need for care infrastructure.

The Company's value creation relies on several core inputs. Financial capital is raised through a combination of equity and long-term debt. Its healthcare real estate portfolio is steadily expanded through targeted investments. A multidisciplinary team, supported by external technical, legal, and appraisal advisors, ensures the quality, compliance, and profitability of each project. Investments are realised either through new developments — structured as Design-Build-Finance (DBF) agreements or turn-key development agreements — or through the acquisition of standing assets, depending on tenant needs and market conditions.

The business model is built around securing long-term leases or leasehold agreements with care operators. These contracts provide operational stability for tenants and underpin Care Property Invest's income stream. Through ongoing asset management, the Company maintains the quality and relevance of its portfolio, while proactively addressing sustainability performance and tenant satisfaction.

The Company's value chain can be divided into five interconnected stages. It begins with prospecting, where potential investment opportunities are identified based on demographic needs, local demand, and regulatory context. Opportunities are typically brought forward by developers who already have a lease agreement in place, or by operators expressing interest in a specific property or asset. In all cases, the existence of a sustainable and reliable lease agreement is a fundamental prerequisite for proceeding with further analysis and pricing. This is followed by a due diligence phase, during which technical, legal, financial, and sustainability assessments are carried out. As part of the project's feasibility analysis, the operator's business plan is also evaluated. Projects then move into either development, frequently through turnkey

This strategic framework, which defines our impact areas, commitments, and targets, is based on a double materiality assessment and which is described in chapter 1.2.3 of this sustainability statement.

1.2.2 Value chain

ESRS 2, SBM-1

Care Property Invest is a listed regulated real estate company (RREC) that focuses on developing, acquiring, and managing highquality housing infrastructure for elderly people and people with disabilities. With operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Ireland, the Company offers tailor-made real estate solutions to public, non-profit, and private care operators. Its business model is designed to create long-term, inflation-resistant returns for

contracts, or the acquisition of existing real estate. Once completed or acquired, properties are secured under long-term leases or leasehold agreements with professional care operators. Finally, the Company remains actively involved in managing its assets, monitoring (sustainability) performance of the assets and tenants, ensuring compliance, and engaging with tenants to support the long-term functionality and value of

each site.

Care Property Invest holds a central role in this value chain, acting as investor, asset owner, and long-term partner to care operators. In the upstream segment, it works closely with developers, architects, engineers, appraisers, contractors, technical advisors, and legal partners. Downstream, it maintains enduring relationships with more than 85 tenants across the health care sector, supporting them in providing essential services to vulnerable groups. The average lease duration of approximately 25 years reflects the long-term and stable nature of these partnerships. End-users (residents of health care facilities) benefit directly from safe and accessible housing environments. At the same time, local communities benefit from enhanced social infrastructure, while investors are assured of reliable, inflation-linked returns.

Sustainability is integrated throughout each phase of the value chain. The Company's activities are closely linked to material impacts, risks, and opportunities (detailed in the next section) related to energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction, and climate adaptation. It also considers the working conditions and equal treatment of employees, the engagement of its workforce, and the health, safety, and wellbeing of end-users. Corporate culture, ethical business conduct, cybersecurity, and data protection are also embedded into its governance and operations. These topics inform strategic decision-making and investment planning, ensuring that Care Property Invest's business model remains resilient and aligned with longterm stakeholder expectations.

(1) A net-zero portfolio is a real estate portfolio with greenhouse gas emissions that are maximally reduced, and any remaining emissions are permanently neutralised.

1.2.3 Double materiality assessment

ESRS 2, SBM-3; IRO-1

To identify the most significant sustainability issues for our Company, we conducted a first materiality assessment in 2019. Considering upcoming sustainability reporting regulations and our commitment to prepare for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), a double materiality assessment was conducted in 2022.

The double materiality assessment allowed us to determine how sustainability issues affect our business and how our activities impact people and the environment. We engaged both internal and external stakeholders across our value chain, including Care Property Invest's Board of Directors, Executive Committee, employees, private and public operators, debt and equity investors, appraisers, and contractors, in a thorough stakeholder engagement process. Our double materiality assessment enables us to prioritise and focus on the sustainability topics that are material to our business and to our stakeholders.

The sustainability assessment comprised of four major phases aimed at identifying potential sustainability issues and evaluating their materiality. The following outlines each of the phases:

1. PHASE ONE: Identification of sustainability matters

A long list of sustainability issues that could potentially affect Care Property Invest throughout its value chain was compiled through extensive research, which included analysis of the topical ESRS(1), international frameworks such as SASB and MSCI, sector trends reports and peers' benchmarks.

Both perspectives were assessed across three time horizons to ensure both short-term responsiveness and long-term resilience.

  • • Short term (<1 year): Focuses on immediate operational risks, regulatory changes, and quick efficiency gains.
  • • Medium term (1-5 years): Captures transitional risks and opportunities, such as regulatory shifts, market expectations, and energy efficiency improvements.
  • • Long term (>5 years): Addresses structural changes, including climate adaptation, asset resilience, and decarbonisation strategies.

This assessment was embedded into Care Property Invest's broader risk and management framework, ensuring that sustainabilityrelated risks are integrated alongside financial and operational risks. These factors are incorporated into the Company's overall risk profile, directly informing strategic decisionmaking and long-term asset management.

At the same time, sustainability opportunities are systematically identified and leveraged as drivers of long-term portfolio resilience and value creation. This approach enhances Care Property Invest's ability to anticipate regulatory shifts, investor expectations, and tenant needs, ensuring sustainability is not only a risk

mitigation strategy but also a value-enhancing business opportunity.

By embedding both risks and opportunities into its core management processes, Care Property Invest aligns its sustainability strategy with both immediate business needs and long-term financial resilience.

2. PHASE TWO:

Identification and assessment of actual and potential impacts, risks and opportunities related to sustainability matters

A sustainability matter is considered material when it meets the criteria for either impact materiality or financial materiality.

To determine material topics, Care Property Invest's Executive Committee conducted an initial screening of a broad list of sustainability issues, refining it into a shortlist that underwent an in-depth analysis based on defining each topic's impacts, risks and opportunities. This assessment was carried out from two perspectives:

  • a. Impact materiality (inside-out): This was evaluated based on the severity and likelihood of Care Property Invest's impact on each sustainability issue, considering the scope, scale, and irremediability of the impact. Three levels of impact (low, medium, and high) were defined for both severity and likelihood.
  • b. Financial materiality (outside-in): This was assessed by identifying the risks and opportunities that could influence Care Property Invest's financial development, performance, and position. The potential magnitude of financial effects was measured against thresholds based on the value of our real estate portfolio. Additionally, the likelihood of financial impact was categorised into three levels: low (less likely), medium (more likely than not), and high (very likely).

3. PHASE THREE: Stakeholder engagement

More than 70 people, both from internal and external stakeholder groups, were consulted through workshops, one-on-one interviews, and questionnaires. This engagement with diverse stakeholders facilitated a comprehensive understanding of the sustainability landscape, allowing for further finetuning of our short list of sustainability matters, along with their associated impacts, risks, and opportunities, that could affect the Company and its stakeholders at various stages of the value chain.

a. Internal stakeholders: the Executive Committee and Board of Directors defined materiality thresholds based on scientific evidence and expert insights. Employees were also consulted to capture their views and insights given their expertise in the operational activities of Care Property Invest.

b. External stakeholders, including private and public operators, debt and equity investors, appraisers and contractors, provided valuable support and insights, identified mistakes, and determined operational implications. We recently conducted another round of interviews with our debt and equity investors to capture any new insights and views that would have evolved in the last year.

4. PHASE FOUR: Consolidation of impact and financial materiality outcomes to a final short list

The results from the different consultations were consolidated to obtain a final short list of sustainability matters, along with the assessment of their associated impacts, risks, and opportunities (IRO). This list was subsequently reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

(1) The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) outline requirements for detailed corporate reporting on a broad range of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. The ESRS were formally adopted by the European Commission in July 2023.

Material IRO Description
ESRS E1 - Climate change
1
Energy
Actual negative impact:
High energy consumption in Care Property
Invest's portfolio
Inefficient energy use in buildings not only accelerates resource depletion
but also raises operational costs for tenants. This makes energy-efficient and
affordable living less accessible. Additionally, reliance on outdated energy
systems exacerbates pressure on the energy grid, particularly during peak
demand periods.
Risk – Medium and long term:
Reduced asset value due to increased energy
intensity (Transition risk)
High energy intensity in a building portfolio can reduce asset value and
deter investors, who view it as a key risk metric. It may also hinder financing
opportunities or result in higher financing costs.
2
Greenhouse gases (climate change mitigation)
Actual negative impact:
Scope 3 GHG emissions from Care Property
Invest's portfolio
High scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming,
environmental instability and worsen extreme weather events that threaten
communities and ecosystems.
Risk – Medium and long term:
Reduced asset value due to increased GHG
emissions (Transition risk)
Care Property Invest's portfolio generates significant indirect greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions, particularly through tenants' and end-users' energy use.
High GHG intensity in a building portfolio can reduce asset value and deter
investors, who view it as a key risk metric.
Moreover, starting in 2027, Europe will impose a CO₂ tax on building heating
systems that use fossil fuels (ETS 2), raising costs for tenants. Buildings that
aren't upgraded for efficiency will become less attractive to potential tenants,
leading to a decrease in property value.
3
Resilient portfolio (climate change adaptation)
Actual and potential positive impact – Long
term:
Lower resident's vulnerability due to resilient
portfolio
The level of resilience of Care Property Invest's portfolio could lower residents'
vulnerability to extreme weather, provide safe, healthy living conditions.
Risk: - Medium and long term:
Climate-related physical risks to Care Property
Invest's portfolio
Climate-related risks from rising greenhouse gases primarily involve threats
from heavy rainfall, coastal flooding and heatwaves. These events can cause
damage to buildings, leading to costly repairs. Buildings will also require
adaptation measures to withstand extreme heat events effectively.
ESRS S1 - Own Workers

Working conditions
Risk – Short term:
Increased employee turnover due to potential
poor working conditions
Possible poor working conditions can result in high employee turnover, leading
to substantial recruitment, training and onboarding costs. It can also lead to
operational disruptions.
5
Equal treatment and opportunities for all
Actual positive impact:
Increased employee satisfaction, well-being
and productivity
Promotion of diversity, career progression through training and development,
equality can impact employee satisfaction, well-being, productivity and
(mental) health
6
Employee engagement
Actual and potential positive impact – Short
term:
Positive workplace with engaged employees
Employee engagement facilitated by Care Property Invest leads to a
positive workplace with engaged employees, improved morale and positive
atmosphere and can lower turnover rates within the workforce.
Risk – Short and medium term:
Increased employee turnover due to low
employee engagement
Low employee engagement levels can lead to reduced productivity, increased
turnover, absenteeism, and lower morale. This can put pressure on business
results and overall performance.

Impact is limited to Care Property Invest's role as the asset owner. While the Company does not operate care homes or directly influence the treatment of residents, it contributes positively by ensuring that building requirements create safe, comfortable, and high-quality environments for end-users.

Cyber security and data protection
Risk – Short and medium term:
Disruption of operations due to poor cyber
security and data protection programmes

Care Property Invest fosters a corporate culture with values and standards that promote respect, fairness, integrity, positioning the Company as a responsible and ethical leader in the business world.

A strong, ethical culture leads to a healthy business, supporting long-term value creation and strengthening Care Property Invest's reputation as a responsible and sustainable investor.

Poor cyber security and data protection programmes can lead to disruptions to the operation of computer systems, the infiltration of viruses into software, and the intentional misuse or damage of IT assets.

Another risk can be not having a GDPR action plan and therefore not be compliant with GDPR regulations.

This process resulted in drafting a materiality matrix that showcases the financial materiality (outsidein perspective) and the impact materiality (inside-out perspective). We acknowledge that all topics mentioned in the matrix are important. However, based on the effect on Care Property Invest's value and the Company's impact on people and the environment, nine material topics have been prioritised as critical issues for Care Property Invest to focus on in the coming years. The matrix highlights the most crucial sustainability topics for Care Property Invest, which are located in the upper right area (highlighted in the matrix).

1.2.4 Stakeholder engagement

(1) According to ESRS 1 General Requirements (July 2023).

ESRS 2, SBM-2

We acknowledge the importance of consulting our stakeholders to determine the most significant sustainability aspects and identify emerging trends in the field. Our goal is to foster strong, trust-based relationships with stakeholders through transparency and open dialogue.

Our stakeholder groups have been identified based on their relevance to and influence on Care Property Invest and can be broadly categorised into two groups: affected stakeholders, whose interests are affected or could be affected – positively or negatively – by our activities, and users of sustainability statements, who are the primary users of general-purpose financial reporting(1).

Our materiality assessment involved in-depth engagement with our key stakeholder groups, during which we held specific discussions on Care Property Invest's sustainability impact and performance.

We have incorporated their feedback into our final materiality assessment and have integrated their comments on

We will revise our materiality assessment on a yearly basis to take into account the most recent evolutions and trends in our sector and plan a thorough update of the assessment every 2-3 years (i.e. next in-depth revision is planned for 2025/2026).

To ensure that we are meeting the needs of our stakeholders, the main outcomes of their views and interests were presented to the Executive Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors, to enable integration of these insights into the drafting of a sustainability strategy and future sustainability initiatives and actions.

During the stakeholder consultations, we recognised a growing obligation to our investors to embed sustainability values and strategies in our real estate operations. They seek to invest in and support companies that prioritise sustainability and are increasingly collaborating with their clients on ESG topics to improve their own sustainability performance.

To reinforce accountability, performance metrics related to ESG targets are incorporated into management incentives, ensuring that sustainability commitments translate into measurable action.

By embedding risk management and sustainability within its governance structure, Care Property Invest takes a proactive approach to long-term value creation, balancing financial performance with ethical business practices and responsible real estate investment.

1.3.1.3 Sustainability governance

Sustainability is a key driver of Care Property Invest's strategy, influencing all aspects of its operations. Recognising its significance, Care Property Invest has embedded sustainability oversight within its governance structure, ensuring that the necessary expertise is available and continuously developed.

To begin strengthening internal capabilities, a dedicated sustainability training has been followed by a member of the Executive Committee, marking an initial step toward building internal knowledge. In the coming years, Care Property Invest aims to further develop sustainability expertise within its leadership, ensuring that key decision-makers are equipped to assess and address ESGrelated challenges effectively. As sustainability continues to shape regulatory and market expectations, the Company remains committed to expanding its knowledge base and integrating sustainability expertise more deeply into its governance structure.

This growing expertise supports the Board of Directors in its role of systematically overseeing material sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities. Regular updates to the Board include progress on strategic ESG objectives, developments in sustainability regulations, and performance against set targets. This ensures that sustainability considerations are fully embedded in strategic planning, major transactions, and risk management processes. Additionally, the Board assesses the effectiveness of sustainability policies, ensuring that due diligence processes are properly implemented and that sustainabilityrelated metrics align with broader corporate objectives.

Through this governance structure, Care Property Invest ensures that sustainability expertise is not only present but actively leveraged across different levels of the organisation. By integrating sustainability into both executive management and Board-level decision-making, the Company enhances its ability to respond to evolving ESG challenges while creating long-term value for stakeholders.

The Executive Committee is responsible for integrating sustainability considerations into strategic decision-making and operational processes. Since 2021, discussions on sustainability risks and opportunities, and their impact on the Company's strategy, budget, and risk management, have become a systematic part of executive meetings. The Executive Committee plays a central role in ensuring that sustainability-related decisions are effectively implemented across their respective domains. It monitors progress toward targets, assess emerging risks, and ensure that material sustainability topics are communicated to the Board of Directors, which is responsible for validating key decisions and overseeing performance. In her expert role, the sustainability manager is also reporting directly to the Executive Committee, at least once per quarter.

To strengthen internal sustainability expertise, Care Property Invest has established an ESG working group, coordinated by the sustainability manager. This working group comprises representatives from key teams, including finance, legal, technical, and investment departments, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach to sustainability challenges. The CFO's active participation in the ESG working group creates a direct link between sustainability initiatives and executive decision-making, ensuring alignment between operational execution and strategic oversight.

To ensure the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee can effectively oversee sustainability matters, Care Property Invest acknowledges the need for ongoing development of sustainability expertise within its governance bodies. While sustainability oversight has been integrated into decisionmaking processes, specialised expertise within the Board and Executive Committee is still evolving. At present, they primarily rely on the knowledge and guidance of the sustainability manager, who coordinates ESG-related activities and provides strategic input on material sustainability risks and opportunities.

1.3.2 Sustainability related performance in incentive schemes

ESRS 2, GOV-3

Care Property Invest has embedded sustainability considerations into its remuneration policy, reinforcing the link between ESG performance and executive incentives. The short-term bonus system of the Executive Committee includes 25% qualitative criteria related to sustainability, encouraging management to integrate ESG factors into investment decisions and operational

execution.

For long-term incentives, 20% of the total pay-out is directly tied to ESG criteria, ensuring alignment with the Company's sustainability targets. Reflecting Care Property Invest's strong commitment to environmental responsibility as a real estate investor, 60% of these criteria relate to environmental and climate-related targets, with 20% focused on social objectives and 20% on governance improvements. These ESG-linked incentives strengthen accountability and reinforce the Company's sustainability ambitions at both strategic and operational levels. For further details on remuneration policy,

please refer to the Remuneration report (chapter 11.11 of the Report of the Board of Directors).

1.3.3 Risk management and internal controls

ESRS 2, GOV-5

Care Property Invest has implemented a systematic approach to identifying and managing sustainability risks and opportunities, ensuring that potential ESG-related challenges are effectively addressed. In 2023, the Company conducted its first comprehensive climate risk assessment, evaluating both physical and transition risks at the asset and portfolio level. This assessment was crucial in preparing for environmental and demographic challenges, and it forms the basis for developing mitigation plans when necessary to safeguard long-term portfolio resilience.

To ensure a robust risk assessment approach, Care Property Invest engaged an independent third party to perform a Value-at-Risk simulation analysis on its portfolio. The physical climate risk assessment covered a range of hazards, including extreme heat and cold, coastal and fluvial flooding, tropical cyclones, and wildfires. The methodology aligns with worst-case scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), assuming a 5°C global temperature rise under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. Similarly, the transition risk assessment, evaluating the potential for stranded assets, aligns with the 1.5°C SSP2 orderly scenario of the REMIND model.

Beyond climate risks, Care Property Invest's risk management framework also addresses other environmental, social, and governance risks that could impact operations and sustainability reporting. This includes environmental considerations such as asbestos presence and soil contamination, as well as broader social and governance risks. These risks are assessed, prioritised, and integrated into internal functions and decision-making processes, ensuring that sustainability-related concerns are embedded within the Company's overall risk management strategy.

Findings from these risk assessments are periodically reported to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, enabling continuous oversight and validation of sustainability-related risks and opportunities. This structured approach ensures that sustainability risk management remains a core component of Care Property Invest's governance and internal control systems, supporting transparent and reliable sustainability reporting.

Sustainable Finance Framework and Allocation of Proceeds

We are striving to adopt a systematic approach towards the identification and management of sustainability risks and opportunities.

Making the transition towards a sustainable economy leads to new opportunities to attract funding. Moreover, it is increasingly becoming a minimum requirement to gain access to financing opportunities. At the same time investors have the opportunity to mobilise capital flows towards sustainable projects.

To take on this opportunity, Care Property Invest has set out its sustainable finance framework consistent with the guidelines of the Green Bond Principles, Social Bond Principles, Sustainability Bond Guidelines and the Green Loan Principles.

Under this framework, Care Property Invest can issue a variety of sustainable finance instruments including Social & Sustainability Bonds, Private Placements, Schuldschein and (syndicated) loan facilities. Eligible assets, which can be financed using the proceeds of these financial instruments are segmented into 3 categories: access to essential healthcare services, green buildings and renewable energy.

Sustainalytics, a trusted and respected party, provided a positive second party opinion to our finance framework. This guarantees credibility and improves investor confidence in our operations.

Within this framework, we entered within a sustainability loan agreement for an amount of €35 million with ABN AMRO in 2020. This amount was increased to €55 million and to €75 million in the course of respectively 2021 and 2022. During the 2024 financial year we

contracted an additional sustainability term loan of €30 million with ABN-AMRO, increasing the total amount of sustainable financing towards €105 million. The number of green assets as at 31 December 2024 was 38, representing an acquisition cost of €395.7 million and a fair value of €394.4 million. This portfolio thus consists of eligible assets that can be financed with sustainable finance instruments and is spread over the four markets where Care Property Invest is active, i.e. for €76.3 million in Belgium (9 buildings), €171.9 million in The Netherlands (18 buildings), €65.7 million in Spain (6 buildings) and €87.6 million in Ireland (5 buildings). It is the ambition of Care Property Invest to increase this portfolio of green eligible assets further each year, together with the growth of the portfolio through new sustainable developments or the purchase of existing residences that meet the eligibility criteria. As of 31 December 2024, an amount of €105 million was taken up in sustainable finance instruments and fully allocated to the category Green buildings of which 5 are located in The Netherlands, 3 in Spain and 1 in Ireland. The total amount is allocated to the refinancing of acquisitions and completed developments between 2020 and 2024. Consequently, there were no unallocated proceeds.

The total number of outstanding sustainable finance instruments is 18.6% of the total financing as at 31 December 2024.

mitigation
ESRS E1-1

As a real estate investor, we understand that sustainability not only benefits the environment, but also has a positive impact on our business and the communities we serve. That's why we are committed to reaching a net-zero portfolio by 2050, in line with the 1.5°C objective of the Paris agreement. This commitment has been underscored in 2023 by the formulation of science-based targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These objectives represent our dedication to reduce scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2050 (base year 2022) in order to reach a net-zero portfolio. Moreover, by 2030 we are committed to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42%.

Investing in sustainable buildings - We are committed to continuously enhance the environmental performance of our buildings, with the goals of achieving a net-zero portfolio by 2050, and thereby supporting the transition towards a low-carbon economy.

2.1 Climate change

2.1.1 Impacts, risks and opportunities

ESRS E1 – Climate Change, SBM-3

Material IRO Description
ESRS E1 - Climate change
1
Energy
Actual negative impact:
High energy consumption in Care Property Invest's
portfolio
Inefficient energy use in buildings not only accelerates resource
depletion but also raises operational costs for tenants. This makes
energy-efficient and affordable living less accessible. Additionally,
reliance on outdated energy systems exacerbates pressure on the
energy grid, particularly during peak demand periods.
Risk – Medium and long term:
Reduced asset value due to increased energy intensity
(Transition risk)
High energy intensity in a building portfolio can reduce asset value
and deter investors, who view it as a key risk metric. It may also hinder
financing opportunities or result in higher financing costs.
2
Greenhouse gases
Actual negative impact:
Scope 3 GHG emissions from Care Property Invest's
portfolio
High Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming,
environmental instability and worsen extreme weather events that
threaten communities and ecosystems.
Risk – Medium and long term:
Reduced asset value due to increased GHG emissions
(Transition risk)
Care Property Invest's portfolio generates significant indirect
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly through tenants' and
end-users' energy use. High GHG intensity in a building portfolio can
reduce asset value and deter investors, who view it as a key risk metric.
Moreover, starting in 2027, Europe will impose a CO₂ tax on building
heating systems using heating fuels (heating oil, LPG, natural gas),
raising costs for tenants. Buildings that aren't upgraded for efficiency
will become less attractive to potential tenants, leading to a decrease in
property value.
3
Resilient portfolio
Actual and potential positive impact – Long term:
Lower resident's vulnerability due to resilient portfolio
The level of resilience of Care Property Invest's portfolio could lower
residents' vulnerability to extreme weather, provide safe, healthy living
conditions.
Risk - Medium and long term:
Climate-related physical risks to Care Property Invest's
portfolio
Climate-related risks from rising greenhouse gases primarily involve
threats from heavy rainfall, coastal flooding and heatwaves. These
events can cause damage to buildings, leading to costly repairs.
Buildings will also require adaptation measures to withstand extreme
heat events effectively.

Schoten (BE) I Head Offices Care Property Invest

To achieve our science-based GHG reduction targets, Care Property Invest focuses on two primary decarbonisation levers:

  • Investing in sustainable, energy
    • efficient buildings and
  • Improving the energy performance of less efficient buildings within our existing portfolio.

As part of our climate change mitigation strategy, we will initiate comprehensive energy audits in 2025 across the least energy-efficient buildings in our portfolio. These audits will form the basis for detailed building-level roadmaps and tailored action plans aimed at significantly reducing operational emissions. Improvement measures may include insulation upgrades, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, renewable energy integration, and digital energy monitoring.

While the exact investment needs to implement these roadmaps have not yet been quantified, this will be a key outcome of the energy audits. These insights will enable us to prioritise and plan for targeted investments across the portfolio in support of our transition objectives.

Our current portfolio may give rise to locked-in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions(1) over their remaining operational lifetime, particularly in assets with high energy intensity or reliance on fossil-based heating systems. These emissions may jeopardise the achievement of our GHG reduction targets and expose us to transition risks, including tightening regulation, shifting market expectations, and evolving tenant demands. To manage these risks, we have embedded transition risk assessments into our broader sustainability screening and due diligence frameworks. The upcoming energy audits will play a critical role in identifying the buildings most at risk of long-term carbon lock-in and will inform our prioritisation of retrofit actions and capital allocation. Through this proactive approach, we aim to minimise stranded asset risk and ensure our portfolio remains aligned with our net-zero ambition.

2.1.2.2 Resilience analysis of the strategy

ESRS E1, SBM-3

In 2023, Care Property Invest adopted a structured and recurring approach to assessing the resilience of its strategy and business model to climate-related risks. This annual analysis covers our entire real estate portfolio, including both operational assets and developments, and is conducted at both asset and portfolio level. Given the nature of our activities as a real estate investor, our real estate investments constitute the primary exposure to climate risks, while other upstream and downstream value chain elements have been excluded from this specific resilience assessment due to their limited materiality. All material physical and transition risks identified through our sustainability risk mapping have been included, including the risk of stranded assets and exposure to extreme weather-related events.

To support this analysis, we engaged an independent third party to conduct a detailed climate risk assessment based on asset-level geospatial data and Value-at-Risk simulation methodologies. The physical risk assessment covers a range of chronic and acute hazards, including extreme heat and cold, fluvial and coastal flooding, pluvial flooding, tropical cyclones, and wildfires. These physical risks were assessed using two reference scenarios: a business-as-usual pathway assuming 3°C global warming (REMIND | Current Policies), and a worst-case scenario assuming 5°C global warming (IPCC SSP5-8.5). Transition risks, particularly the risk of stranded assets, were assessed under a transition scenario aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory (REMIND | SSP2). These scenarios were selected for their scientific robustness and their relevance to our sector and investment horizon, and they reflect the plausible range of outcomes relevant to our long-term business model.

For physical risks, the model combines site-specific hazard exposure (e.g. coastal and fluvial flooding, extreme heat, wildfires) with vulnerability factors such as building characteristics and use, resulting in estimates

Our transition plan is not a standalone initiative but is fully embedded in our longterm business strategy and investment approach. It supports our response to the European net-zero objective. The transition plan brings together all key elements of our decarbonisation pathway — including our science-based targets, energy audits, investment roadmaps, sustainability screening framework, and climate risk assessments — into a structured and forward-looking action plan to future-proof our portfolio. The validation of our science-based targets in 2023 was a key turning point, aligning our decarbonisation ambitions with measurable objectives and reinforcing our commitment to contribute to broader public policy goals on climate change. Since then, climate-related considerations have been systematically integrated into our acquisition criteria, asset renovation strategies, and long-term capital allocation. Our sustainability screening framework and ESG scorecard — used across the entire portfolio and throughout the due diligence process ensure that each investment decision reflects both environmental risks and opportunities. In this way, our transition plan serves as a practical tool to guide our operational, financial, and strategic choices in alignment with a net-zero future.

of damage costs, increased energy usage, and potential business interruption due to climate events. Transition risks are assessed by estimating the financial impact of excess carbon emissions relative to decarbonisation pathways aligned with the 1.5°C scenario. Using standardised models such as REMIND, projected carbon prices are applied to the emissions gap between an asset's current performance and the target pathway, producing a quantified Transition Climate Value-at-Risk. Medium-, and long-term horizons were assessed (to 2030, 2040, 2050, and 2100), and these timeframes are consistent with our emission reduction targets and net-zero

strategy. processes.

The results show that under a business-as-usual scenario, physical climate risk to our portfolio is moderate by 2100. In the worst-case warming scenario, physical risk is already moderate by 2050 and remains so by 2100. For transition risk, the analysis indicates a significant risk of stranded assets by 2040, especially for buildings with high energy intensity and reliance on fossil-based heating systems. These results reinforce the importance of our transition plan and mitigation actions, including targeted investments in energy upgrades and the systematic integration of climate risk into our asset screening and management

While the analysis provides valuable insight, it is subject to uncertainties related to future policy pathways, energy pricing, and the technical feasibility of upgrading all assets within the required timeframe. Nonetheless, we consider our current strategy and business model to be resilient to physical climate risk in the long term, and sufficiently adaptable to manage transition risks. We retain the ability to adjust through renovation or redirecting capital towards more sustainable and resilient asstets. We expect our alignment with sustainability objectives to support continued access to finance on reasonable terms.

2.1.3 Approach to impacts, risks and opportunities

2.1.3.1 Processes to identify and assess material climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities ESRS E1, IRO-1

The process to identify and assess climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities is data-driven and scenario-informed, relying on geospatial modelling, asset-specific information, and climate science to ensure a robust understanding of both physical and transition dimensions. The identification of climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities was an integral part of the double materiality assessment.

We assess our actual and potential impacts on climate change by evaluating our current and future sources of greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and portfolio. This includes the identification of high-emission assets within our portfolio, as well as downstream impacts linked to tenant energy use and building performance.

Physical and transition risks are identified through a forward-looking risk analysis process that considers a wide range of climate-related hazards and transition events relevant to our operations and portfolio. Risks are evaluated across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons and at both asset and portfolio level.

Scenario analysis plays a central role in this process. We use scientifically robust climate scenarios to evaluate the potential impact of physical hazards under high-emission pathways, and to assess the implications of a transition to a low-carbon economy. These scenarios inform our understanding of exposure and sensitivity across our assets and broader value chain and support the identification of opportunities to enhance resilience, improve asset performance, and respond to evolving regulation and market expectations.

Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of our climate strategy. Our policies promote reductions in energy consumption through energy audits, energy monitoring systems, and targeted interventions. Where possible, these efforts are complemented by the integration of renewable energy solutions, such as the installation of solar panels or the procurement of green electricity.

Our policies are informed by a forwardlooking assessment of regulatory trends, market expectations, and financial risks. We monitor developments related to EU Taxonomy alignment, mandatory renovation standards, and the integration of ESG criteria in financing. These insights help shape our internal guidelines and ensure our approach remains aligned with evolving climate policies and investor demands.

2.1.3.3 Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies

ESRS E1-3

Care Property Invest is progressively implementing a set of targeted actions to support its climate mitigation and adaptation policies. These actions focus on the decarbonisation of our real estate portfolio, improvement of energy performance, and reduction of exposure to physical climate risks.

In 2023, we launched a sustainability screening framework and ESG scorecard, which are now used across our entire portfolio to evaluate the environmental and social performance of each asset. The ESG scorecard integrates a broad set of indicators related to energy consumption, building certifications, EPC ratings, exposure to physical climate hazards, and alignment with sustainability criteria. The insights generated from this screening process directly inform building-level action planning and help prioritise interventions across the portfolio.

2.1.3.2 Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation

ESRS E1-2

Care Property Invest manages its material climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities through the implementation of a formal sustainability policy, supported by a sustainability screening framework. These instruments guide our approach to climate change mitigation, adaptation, energy efficiency, and long-term resilience.

Our climate change mitigation policy is focused on reducing operational emissions across the portfolio in line with science-based targets. This includes investing in energy-efficient and sustainable buildings, setting energy performance targets, and integrating climate considerations into acquisition, renovation, and asset management decisions. We prioritise improvements in building energy intensity and fossil fuel phase-out, recognising the increasing exposure of inefficient assets to transition risks such as regulatory tightening and access-tofinance constraints. Our policy framework is supported by internal tools such as the ESG scorecard and asset screening methodology, which allow us to monitor progress and inform capital allocation.

For climate change adaptation, our policy addresses exposure to physical risks such as fluvial flooding, extreme heat, and other severe weather events. These risks are assessed through climate scenario analysis and physical risk modelling, and we implement mitigation measures such as improved insulation, efficient building systems, and the selection of resilient materials in new developments. The geographic location of our assets — particularly in The Netherlands and Belgium — means that certain hazards like flooding require close monitoring. Adaptation is therefore a key consideration in our development standards and renovation planning.

Starting in 2025, we will conduct energy audits on the least energy-efficient buildings. These audits will serve as the foundation for detailed, building-specific roadmaps and renovation plans aimed at improving energy intensity and reducing operational emissions. Based on the outcomes of these audits, we plan to implement measures such as insulation upgrades, optimisation of building systems, and where feasible, the deployment of onsite renewable energy solutions. While the financial resources required to implement these improvements have not yet been fully quantified, this will be a key deliverable of the audit process. The associated CapEx planning will be developed in line with our ambition to meet our science-based targets.

Adaptation-related actions are closely linked to our climate risk assessments. While the shortterm risk of physical climate impacts across our portfolio is currently assessed as low to moderate, we are preparing to integrate risk mitigation measures into future renovation planning where relevant. These measures could include adjustments to building materials, climate-resilient landscaping, or improved water management solutions. In addition, risk insights may increasingly inform future acquisition decisions, particularly in the case of assets located in areas projected to face higher exposure to extreme weather events over the

long term.

2.1.4 Metrics and targets

ESRS E1-4

2.1.4.1 Environmental performance of our portfolio

ESRS E1-5; E1-6

In 2024, our investment portfolio's energy intensity was 126 kWh/m², representing a 17% decrease compared to 2020. This improvement reflects a combination of better monitoring, the increasing coverage of our energy monitoring systems (EMS), and more accurate data collection. These developments enable us to identify usage patterns and inefficiencies more effectively, which may contribute to improved performance over time.

Our efforts to reduce energy usage also contribute directly to lowering our greenhouse gas emissions intensity, which stood at 21 kg CO₂e/m² in 2024, a 25% reduction compared to 2020. This decline is largely driven by improved building performance, the installation of photovoltaic panels across several sites, and an increased shift to green energy suppliers. In 2024, 49% of the electricity used in our portfolio came from on- and off-site renewable sources, underscoring our commitment to decarbonisation.

TARGETS & ACTIONS

  • Net-zero portfolio by 2050 Reducing scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions with 90% (SBTi approved). In 2024, our absolute emissions for scopes 1, 2 and 3 showed an 64% increase compared to 2022, primarily as a result of improved and more comprehensive monitoring.
  • By 2030, reducing scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions with 42% (SBTi approved). In 2024, we achieved a 19% reduction in absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to 2022.
  • Achieving an average energy intensity of 110 kWh/m² across our investment portfolio by 2030. In 2024, the average energy intensity reached 126 kWh/m².
  • Implementation of a sustainable mobility programme. In 2024, 32% of our fleet was fully electric, as part of our transition towards a 100% electric fleet by 2027.

Care Property Invest has set climate-related targets to support its net-zero ambition and manage material climate-related risks and opportunities. In 2023, we established sciencebased targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to reduce scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 (base year 2022). As an interim milestone, we are committed to reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030. In addition, we have set an energy efficiency target of achieving an average consumption of 110 kWh/m² across our portfolio by 2030. These targets are integral to our climate mitigation strategy and guide our operational and investment decisions.

We remain aware, however, that some properties currently exhibit less favourable energy efficiency. These assets weigh on our overall performance. To address this, we have launched energy audits across the portfolio, starting with the least efficient assets. These audits form the basis for developing ambitious, building-specific action plans. In parallel, we are actively engaging with our operators to define targeted CapEx strategies aimed at improving energy performance over time. Our sustainability screening framework continues to guide this process, helping us to prioritise interventions and align our efforts with long-term climate goals. 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Building energy intensity (kWh/m2)

To support the achievement of our climate targets and monitor environmental performance across the portfolio, we continue to expand the deployment of smart energy monitoring systems (EMS). These systems enable real-time monitoring of energy and water consumption and are a key tool in tracking scope 3 emissions. By the end of 2024, EMS coverage reached 94% of our investment portfolio(1), reflecting the integration of EMS requirements into new operator contracts and our commitment to co-financing installations. This significantly enhances our ability to monitor and manage consumption data at asset level.

2.1.4.2 Buildings with a heritage

Care Property Invest takes pride in its diverse portfolio with various buildings that hold a unique heritage. We prioritise the preservation of the distinctive character and historical significance of these structures during any renovation process. Repurposing heritage buildings as care homes not only creates new value for our residents, but also benefits the environment by reducing the need for new construction and mitigating the carbon footprint associated with it. At the same time, we avoid the creation of additional paved and impermeable surfaces.

Furthermore, this repurposing approach promotes sustainable development and helps to maintain the cultural identity of a community while providing essential housing for seniors.

By repurposing heritage buildings as care homes, Care Property Invest aims to strike a balance between preserving our cultural heritage and fulfilling the practical needs of our ageing population. We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of environmental responsibility and cultural preservation as we continue to innovate in the field of sustainable care home development.

Blending care, comfort and sustainability in Kilmacanogue (IE)

While the upward trend in energy and emissions performance is encouraging, our water intensity rose to 0.7 m³/m² in 2024, marking a 75% increase since 2020. In contrast to earlier years, where water consumption was clearly linked to higher post-COVID occupancy rates in care homes, the exact drivers behind this year's increase remain unclear. We are currently investigating this development and will work closely with care providers to implement measures that promote more efficient water use where needed. Electricity consumption (kWh)

From Cinema to Care: Sustainable Redevelopment in Barcelona (ES)

At the foot of the Sugarloaf mountain in Kilmacanogue, Care Property Invest supported the development of the Sugarloaf Care Centre – a flagship residential care home within the Silver Stream Healthcare Group. Completed in June 2024, the 119-bed, 5600 m² facility sets a new benchmark for comfort, innovation, and sustainability in the Irish care sector. Designed with a focus on resident well-being and community, the home features inviting communal areas like the serene dayroom, which floods with natural light and fosters social interaction, physical activity, and relaxation. GHG intensity (kgCO2e/m2)

In the La Marina del Port district in southeast Barcelona, Care Property Invest partnered with local operator La Vostra Llar to transform a former cinema into a warm and modern residential care facility. Retaining the original façade, the building underwent a complete redevelopment into a 3000 m² care home with 78 residential places and an on-site day care centre for 15 people. The project was structured as an asset deal with a forward funding agreement, with La Vostra Llar also acting as developer.

Built to the highest quality standards, the Sugarloaf Care Centre reflects our joint sustainability ambition through a combination of high-performance materials and smart technologies. The building is equipped with an air-water heat pump, solar panels and a rainwater recovery system, ensuring optimal energy use and reduced environmental impact. To support sustainable mobility, the car park features twelve electric vehicle charging points available to both visitors and staff. With a Building Energy Rating (BER) of A3, this care home is fully aligned with our long-term commitment to net-zero by 2050, offering residents a comfortable, futureproof environment where care and sustainability go hand in hand. 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024

With its high-quality finishes, home-like design, and wooden accents, La Marina reflects a strong focus on comfort and personal connection. The care home offers small-scale living units and a welcoming patio, reinforcing a sense of family and familiarity. This human-centric approach – with only 78 residents – makes La Marina the most intimate care facility in our Spanish portfolio, and its rapid occupancy growth confirms the success of this model.

Aligned with Care Property Invest's sustainability vision, the building integrates several environmentally responsible features, including 51 photovoltaic solar panels, solar thermal collectors, A++ rated appliances, and a real-time energy monitoring system (EMS). The La Marina project showcases how urban heritage can be reimagined into high-quality, energy-efficient care environments that meet both the needs of residents and our climate goals.

2.1.4.3 Environmental performance of our own operations

ESRS E1-5; E1-6

Our environmental commitments extend beyond our investment portfolio, as corporate responsibility and making a positive impact are integral to the way we manage our own operations. The choices we make regarding our office buildings, mobility, and business travel reflect our broader ambition to achieve carbon neutrality and reduce our environmental footprint.

In February 2022, the extension of our head offices was completed and put into use, enabling us to expand our workspace capacity in response to the strong growth of our team. The renovation of the existing part of our building and the construction of the annex were carried out in full accordance with the strictest environmental standards, and the design was carefully integrated into the surrounding green environment to ensure minimal disruption to the neighbourhood. In line with our net-zero reduction targets, the offices were built according to nearly zeroenergy principles. Key sustainability features include high-performance thermal insulation, sunscreens, solar panels, a geothermal heat pump, a green roof, and an intelligent light control system. These design choices result in minimal energy consumption for heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water. Any residual energy demand is covered by green electricity, either produced on-site or sourced from renewable energy providers.

With the construction of our new annex, which was designed to be nearly climate-neutral and built without a gas connection, we took an important step in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. The annex benefits from improved insulation and uses an electric heat pump for heating. While gas consumption remains in the original building, the new annex does not contribute to this usage. Electricity consumption increased slightly due to the expansion and a growing workforce, but this is fully mitigated by the fact that 100% of our electricity is sourced from renewable energy.

In 2023, we conducted a comprehensive energy audit at our head offices to better understand our energy consumption patterns and identify areas for improvement. Based on the audit results, we implemented several targeted measures in 2024 that have already resulted in a noticeable decrease in energy consumption. These efforts included optimising the settings of heating and electrical appliances, as well as increasing awareness among employees, for example, encouraging them to keep windows closed when heating or cooling systems are in use. These small yet impactful behavioural changes, combined with technical adjustments, have contributed to improved energy efficiency across our office building.

To further enhance sustainability, we have installed systems for rainwater recovery and treatment and implemented a monitoring system to track water usage. This gave us better insights into our consumption patterns and enabled us to implement targeted efficiency measures. As a result, we have been able to significantly reduce our water usage over the

past year.

Mobility is another important pillar of our environmental performance. Our head offices offer secure underground bicycle parking and e-bike charging stations, while our car park includes EV charging points and was constructed using water-permeable materials to promote rainwater drainage. The car park has been designed to avoid nuisance in the neighbourhood and comfortably accommodate employees and visitors.

Schoten (BE) I Head Offices Care Property Invest

We are actively encouraging our employees to engage with our sustainability goals by raising awareness of energy-saving practices and promoting more environmentally friendly commuting. Our internal mobility programme, launched in 2022, supports the transition to greener transport modes. As our team continues to grow, we are gradually shifting to a fully electric vehicle (BEV) fleet. Since January 2023, all new company cars are 100% electric, with the ultimate goal of reaching a fully electric fleet by 2027.

We also recognise the environmental impact of international business travel. Although travel resumed after the COVID-19 pandemic to support our international growth strategy, we remain committed to reducing its impact. Business travel emissions stabilised in 2024, as we continue to optimise trip planning by grouping meetings and using virtual collaboration tools wherever possible. For shorter trips, we prioritise trains and electric vehicles to minimise emissions.

Through these actions, we continue to improve the environmental performance of our own operations, with a strong focus on energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable mobility, water conservation, and responsible travel. Our efforts reflect our broader ambition to lead by example and foster a culture of sustainability across all levels of our organisation.

Accelerating our transition to sustainable mobility

The evolving legislative and fiscal landscape around mobility in Belgium will soon impact both companies and their employees. In anticipation of these changes, Care Property Invest has proactively developed a sustainable mobility programme that balances regulatory preparedness with employee convenience.

Launched in 2022, the programme marks a strategic shift towards a fully electric vehicle (BEV) fleet. Since January 1, 2023, all new company vehicles must be fully electric. To support this transition, we have converted mobility budgets into Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) budgets, removing potential financial barriers and enabling informed, futureproof choices.

To further facilitate the shift, Care Property Invest covers 100% of both private and business charging costs and provides home charging solutions for employees. Charging infrastructure at the office and access to public charging points ensure flexibility and ease of use for all.

Our ultimate goal is a fully electric fleet by 2027. Compared to our 2022 baseline, this transition is expected to reduce the CO2 emissions from our own operations by approximately 70%. At the end of 2024, 32% of our fleet was already fully electrified, reflecting a clear progress toward our long-term ambition.

Cycle to Work day: A growing tradition

In April 2024, we participated once again in the national Cycle to Work Day event. This has now become an annual tradition at Care Property Invest, with a dedicated group of our employees opting for bicycles as their mode of commuting to the office, showing our ongoing support for eco-friendly transportation alternatives. By encouraging cycling as a means of commuting, we not only promote physical health and environmental benefits but also demonstrate our dedication to fostering a more sustainable workplace culture.

3. Social information

Building lasting relationships - We are committed to ensure equal access to sustainable and highperforming healthcare housing by offering diversified solutions to senior citizens and people with disabilities. We recognise our social responsibility within both our portfolio and through our own operations to have a positive impact on society and our employees.

3.1 Investing in our team

ESRS S1 – Own Workers, SBM-3

Care Property Invest ensures that its workforce is included in the scope of its disclosures under ESRS 2. The Company's direct workforce consists of employees on the payroll in investment management, asset management, and other corporate functions. Additionally, the Company relies on self-employed individuals who work for the Care Property Invest on a

contractor basis. These contractors are hired to perform work that would otherwise be carried out by an employee, excluding the Executive Committee. Care Property Invest does not, however, engage third-party employment agencies for core operations.

The following sections outline the impacts, risks and opportunities and Care Property Invest's approach to their management. Metrics regarding ESRS S1 – Own workers are reported in Appendix III of this sustainability statement (ESRS S1-6 to ESRS S1-17).

ESRS S1-1; ESRS S1-2; ESRS S1-3; ESRS S1-4; ESRS S1-5

3.1.2.1 Working conditions and employee well-being

TARGETS & ACTIONS

  • Support well-being at work and facilitate work-life balance through a formal home working policy.
  • Establish a safety culture in the workplace by offering regular first aid training to the employees (at least every 2 years). 96% of our employees have followed such training in the last 2 years.

identification, assessment, and management of material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to its workforce. The insights from the IRO identification are embedded into Care Property Invest's workforce strategy, ensuring that key areas such as working conditions, employee engagement, and equal opportunities are effectively managed. Targets and actions related to the IRO are developed in close collaboration with the HR manager.

One of Care Property Invest's key priorities is ensuring good working conditions and employee well-being, as poor working conditions can lead to increased turnover, recruitment challenges, and operational disruptions. To prevent such risks, the Company invests in creating a safe and pleasant work environment. We believe in promoting the personal development, training, and overall work satisfaction of our workforce. To achieve this, we have implemented various initiatives that aim to boost the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees.

One such initiative is the construction of an in-house gym that employees can use. Additionally, we organise both formal and informal team-building events, offer room for personal and professional growth, and ensure a healthy work-life balance. These initiatives not only reduce stress levels but also lead to a low turnover rate among our employees.

In 2023, Care Property Invest also organised a first aid training for all its employees. This training equips our employees with skills and knowledge to be prepared to respond effectively to any medical emergencies that may arise within our workplace or community. By investing in first aid training, we empower our employees to act confidently and decisively in times of need, further enhancing our Company's culture of health and safety. We have committed to organising such training sessions on a recurrent basis to ensure that employees remain equipped with up-to-date knowledge and skills.

Care Property Invest is committed to maintaining a healthy, inclusive, and supportive work environment for all employees and self-employed contractors working on a structural basis. The Company's policies align with internationally recognised frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. These policies address the

At Care Property Invest, we recognise that our employees have unique needs. Therefore, we offer them the flexibility to tailor their remuneration package through our Flex Income Plan. Our employees can choose to allocate a portion of their gross income and/or rewards towards various categories such as mobility, multimedia, work-life balance and health & insurance. For example, an employee who loves to travel can opt for additional vacation

To further enhance career development, Care Property Invest provides both individual and collective training programmes, helping employees refine their skills and grow within their roles. In addition to annual individual training schemes, monthly internal training sessions focus on essential topics such

days, while those interested in improving their physical health can choose a company bike.

Additionally, in our ongoing commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our team, we have implemented a formal home working policy. This policy allows employees the opportunity to work from home for two days per week and offering the possibility of flexible working hours, providing flexibility in their workplace arrangements.

3.1.2.2 Equal treatment and opportunities for all

TARGETS & ACTIONS

  • Formal evaluation processes with clear employee targets and annual performance review for all employees.
  • Maintain at least 40h of training per FTE per year. In 2024, Care Property Invest reached 85h per FTE.

Care Property Invest is committed to fostering equal treatment and opportunities for all, ensuring a diverse and inclusive workplace where employees are valued based on their skills, background, and contributions. The Company promotes a culture of fairness, respect, and career development, reinforcing its commitment to equal pay, professional growth, and a safe working environment free from bullying, discrimination, and violence.

Diversity and inclusion are embedded in Care Property Invest's workforce policies, ensuring that all employees, regardless of gender, background, or expertise, have equal access to opportunities for career progression and professional development. The Company actively promotes inclusive hiring practices, competency-based evaluations, and structured career paths to prevent bias and ensure fair treatment in promotions, training, and remuneration. Care Property Invest ensures equal pay for equal work, aligning salaries with industry standards and performance-based evaluations. The Company also enforces

strict anti-harassment and anti-discrimination policies, supported by an external trust person available to employees for confidential guidance. The external trust person plays a key role in the process of the complaints handling mechanism that allows employees to report concerns related to discrimination, harassment, or other workplace issues. The effectiveness of this mechanism is monitored through employee feedback ensuring that employees are aware of the reporting structures in place.

To support equal opportunities in skill development, Care Property Invest places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional training. From the very beginning of their employment, new employees undergo a comprehensive onboarding programme, where they receive in-depth training on the Company's operations, IT tools, and sectorrelated insights. This onboarding process fosters knowledge-sharing and cross-team collaboration, ensuring that all employees, regardless of prior experience, are wellequipped to succeed in their role.

as sustainability, regulatory changes, risk management, and real estate market trends. These sessions not only enhance technical skills but also serve as an opportunity for employees to exchange insights and build stronger connections.

3.1.2.3 Employee engagement

TARGETS & ACTIONS

• Monitor and improve employee engagement and satisfaction through a biennial employee survey. The last employee survey was conducted in 2023.

Employee engagement is another pillar of Care Property Invest's workforce management. The Company recognises that low engagement levels can lead to productivity loss, absenteeism, and high turnover, as identified in the IRO assessment. To strengthen engagement, Care Property Invest regularly conducts employee satisfaction surveys, gathering insights on workplace experiences and areas for improvement. In addition, the Company organises internal knowledge-sharing

sessions, team-building events, and sports activities, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. Employees are encouraged to actively participate in decision-making processes, ensuring their perspectives are heard and integrated into company strategies. By maintaining open communication and a collaborative work environment, the Company creates a positive workplace culture where employees feel valued and motivated.

We are committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all employees, as this forms the basis for sustainable growth — both for our people and our organisations.

Employee Engagement in Local Sustainability Initiatives

Care Property Invest supports employee engagement in sustainability initiatives that align with its broader ESG strategy. In 2024, several activities were organised in which staff voluntarily participated, contributing to environmental and social objectives.

On 20 September 2024, in the context of World Cleanup Day, Care Property Invest's employees took part in a local clean-up initiative in collaboration with the environmental department of the Municipality of Schoten. Equipped with equipment provided by the municipality, small groups of employees

collected litter in public areas. In total, more than 80 kilograms of waste was collected during the one-hour action.

Additionally, employees participated in a local blood donation drive organised by the Red Cross in Schoten. Around ten employees registered for donation, with several donating blood for the first time.

These actions contribute to employee awareness of local environmental and social challenges and encourage active participation in line with the Company's sustainability values.

3.2 Lasting relationships with our care providers

ESRS S4 – Consumers and end-users, SBM-3

Care Property Invest's role as a long-term investor in healthcare real estate places the health, safety and well-being of endusers — primarily elderly residents and people with a mental or physical disability — at the heart of its value proposition. While Care Property Invest does not operate the care facilities it owns, it plays a crucial enabling role in creating the conditions for safe, comfortable, and highquality environments. This is achieved in close collaboration with its tenants, who are the direct service providers — either public authorities or private care operators — responsible for delivering care to endusers.

All consumers and end-users likely to be materially affected by Care Property Invest's activities are included in the scope of its impact assessment. This includes both the tenants — public authorities and private care operators — who are Care Property Invest's direct clients, and the end-users, primarily elderly individuals or people with a mental or physical disability residing in assisted-living or care facilities. While tenants are responsible for delivering care services, they rely on Care Property Invest to provide high-quality, sustainable, and functional infrastructure that meets regulatory and operational needs. At the same time, many end-users are particularly vulnerable due to age, health status, or mobility limitations. Care Property Invest's emphasis on inclusive design, barrier-free access, and the integration of services and technologies supports both stakeholder groups: it enables tenants to deliver care effectively and contributes to the safety, comfort, and well-being of the residents they serve.

Supporting Inclusive Employment at TWERK

Care Property Invest supported the social enterprise TWERK, a chocolate production company in Herentals (BE) that provides employment to people with autism, through a donation of €10,840. The contribution formed part of a broader fundraising campaign, which raised €58,800 to modernise production equipment and develop tailored support tools, including a dedicated app for individuals with autism. As recognition for its support, Care Property Invest's logo is displayed on TWERK's new, original block-themed façade.

3.2.2 Approach to impacts, risks and opportunities

ESRS S4-1; ESRS S4-2; ESRS S4-3; ESRS S4-4; ESRS S4-5

TARGETS & ACTIONS

  • In 2024, a sustainability charter was developed to formalise collective ESG commitments with operators. In 2025, Care Property Invest will present this charter to operators to jointly assess its progressive implementation.
  • Every year, employees participate to the volunteering days and volunteer 1 day at one of Care Property Invest's care homes.

Customised solutions for our care providers

In our segment of assisted living apartments one of our focus areas is working with turnkey contracts with developments delivered as a completed project to the operator. In those cases, we take full responsibility for the supervision and follow-up of the entire project and all aspects involved throughout the life-cycle of the project. We closely process the complete administrative and contractual responsibility of building permits, tendering, progress reports, utility connections, infrastructure works, etc. during the entire construction process. This guarantees careful handling of all files and continuous dialogue between Care Property

Invest and the operator. In addition, during the entire duration of the project, we pay special attention to limiting and controlling expenditures.

By taking care of these responsibilities, we allow the operator to concentrate solely on their main activity, providing healthcare to their residents.

As an alternative, we may form an alliance with operators allowing us to combine the investment and construction expertise of Care Property Invest with the operator's profound healthcare knowledge.

The Company's approach to new developments is based on three essential criteria: the experience and needs of the resident, the economic feasibility for the care operator or local government, and the sustainability of the building — environmentally and socially. Care Property Invest's focus on efficient use of space and energy translates into lower operational costs for tenants and a reduced environmental footprint. These results are achieved through long-standing partnerships with contractors and project developers. With over 30 years of experience, Care Property Invest has cultivated trusted, collaborative relationships with construction partners, fostering a shift from traditional demand-supply dynamics to a shared pursuit of innovative, sustainable building solutions.

Care Property Invest ensures that the design, construction, and maintenance of its buildings meet high standards of safety, accessibility, and user comfort. The Company's diversified

portfolio reflects its ambition to cater to the varied needs of different user profiles, ranging from groups of assisted-living apartments to residential care centres and short-stay facilities for elderly people and people with a mental or physical disability with specific support needs. This diversity allows Care Property Invest to accommodate a broad spectrum of financial preferences while always prioritising quality of care, social inclusion, and well-being.

Recent developments in assisted-living apartments, for example, directly respond to the demand from a new generation of elderly people who value independence and autonomy. These facilities integrate smart technologies, optional service offerings, and thoughtful architectural design to enhance both safety and comfort. Attention to physical and mental health outcomes is embedded in every stage of the real estate lifecycle, from planning and design to long-term asset management.

Actual positive impact:
Building requirements create safe, comfortable and
high-quality environments for end-users
Impact is limited to Care Property Invest's role as the asset owner.
While the Company does not operate care homes or directly
influence the treatment of residents, it contributes positively by
ensuring that building requirements create safe, comfortable, and
high-quality environments for end-users.
Opportunity – Short, medium and long term:
Growing need of specialised housing solutions for the
elderly
Aging population is creating a growing need for specialised, quality
housing solutions for the elderly (our end-users).
Various European countries present attractive prospects for
healthcare real estate investment.

The positive impacts of this approach are both strategic and social. Care Property Invest's high-quality infrastructure supports the delivery of essential services by tenants, contributing to dignified, secure, and comfortable living environments for vulnerable end-users.

While Care Property Invest does not interact directly with consumers or end-users, it recognises its responsibility to safeguard their quality of life through the built environment. To manage this, Care Property Invest conducts due diligence on building design, incorporates feedback from tenants, and continuously adapts its investment criteria to reflect evolving care models and user expectations. It also works to strengthen partnerships with operators by formalising joint sustainability ambitions.

As part of this effort, Care Property Invest has developed a sustainability charter that outlines expectations towards operators related to human rights, health and well-being, and ethical business practices. These include alignment with internationally recognised standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The Charter sets out clear principles around nondiscrimination, safety, the prevention of child and forced labour, and community engagement.

The Sustainability Charter serves as a reference point to support constructive dialogue with tenants, and its gradual implementation will be jointly assessed. It establishes a best-efforts commitment, encouraging all parties to work towards shared ESG goals and ensuring that the rights and well-being of end-users remain a common priority.

Building on these measures, which prioritise the well-being of end-users and advance shared ESG commitments, Care Property Invest recognises a significant and growing opportunity linked to its strategic focus. The ageing population across Europe is driving increased demand for specialised, high-quality housing solutions for the elderly. This demographic trend is expected to continue over the short, medium, and long term, creating strong tailwinds for healthcare real estate investment. Care Property Invest is well positioned to respond to this opportunity by expanding its presence in key European markets and continuing to diversify its portfolio with innovative, sustainable housing concepts that meet the evolving needs of both end-users and care providers. The Company's ability to offer flexible, future-proof real estate solutions strengthens its competitive positioning while contributing to broader societal goals such as healthy ageing and social inclusion.

Volunteering Days in collaboration with Vulpia

The opportunity to experience the daily rhythm of a care facility is a unique occurance. As part of our commitment to build a lasting relationship with our operators, throughout November and December 2024, all members of the Care Property Invest team, including the Executive Committee, volunteered at various care homes operated by Vulpia. This initiative aims to contribute meaningfully to the community and also provides a valuable opportunity to gain practical insights into our theoretical designs.

This collaborative effort between Vulpia and Care Property Invest fostered a sense of appreciation, connection, and community involvement. The team was warmly welcomed by Vulpia, where they seamlessly integrated into daily operations. The initiative has now become an annual event. In collaboration with Vulpia, we continue to evaluate how these volunteering days can be further improved, both to enhance the experience for our employees and to ensure our support aligns with the specific needs of the care teams during our visits.

4. Governance information

Leading through ethical practices - We are committed to establish and maintain a strong culture of ethical behaviour, transparency and accountability throughout the organisation and our activities.

These material topics impact the Company across the value chain, from internal governance structures to interactions with external partners. Ethical business practices contribute to regulatory compliance and long-term stakeholder confidence, while robust cybersecurity measures protect data integrity and support Care Property Invest's digital resilience. Addressing these areas strategically helps us mitigate risks, seize opportunities for enhanced operational efficiency, and reinforce our position as a trusted real estate investor.

4.1.2 Governance of business conduct

ESRS G1, GOV-1

The Board of Directors at Care Property Invest plays a crucial role in ensuring that the Company's business conduct remains aligned with the highest ethical standards. As part of its governance framework, the Board adheres to the principles outlined in the Corporate Governance Charter, which provides clear guidance on the Company's management and control structure. These bodies work in tandem to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible conduct at every level of the organisation, fostering trust among shareholders, investors, and stakeholders. The Board of Directors ensures that these principles are consistently followed and that the Company operates in a manner that meets both legal requirements and its own ethical standards.

A key component of the Board's oversight is its involvement in the review and approval of internal policies, including the Dealing Code, which outlines the rules designed to prevent market abuse and ensure fair business practices. Adherence to this code and the broader Code 2020 for listed companies demonstrates Care Property Invest's commitment to upholding market integrity. Additionally, the Audit Committee plays a vital role in overseeing the Company's internal control and risk management systems. It ensures that the Executive Committee effectively identifies, assesses, and manages key risks, with a particular focus on the continuity of operations. This oversight guarantees that potential risks are properly reported to the Board of Directors, enabling informed decision-making and the continued success of Care Property Invest.

Cyber security and data protection
Risk – Short and medium term:
Disruption of operations due to poor cyber security
and data protection programmes
Poor cyber security and data protection programmes can lead to
disruptions to the operation of computer systems, the infiltration of
viruses into software, and the intentional misuse or damage of IT assets.
Another risk can be not having a GDPR action plan and therefore not be
compliant with GDPR regulations.

Corporate culture and business ethics, and cybersecurity and data protection are material topics that influence Care Property Invest's ability to create sustainable value. A strong ethical foundation mitigates risks related to misconduct, strengthens business relationships, and enhances trust among investors, tenants, and other stakeholders. Similarly, cybersecurity and data protection are critical in an increasingly digitalised environment. A well-structured IT governance framework reduces the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks, safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring business continuity. Conversely, a weak IT infrastructure can expose the Company to operational, financial, and reputational risks.

By leveraging the combined expertise of its members in governance, business ethics, and financial oversight, the Board is well-equipped to make informed decisions. The members bring a broad range of experience and specialised knowledge that enables them to oversee the Company's ethical framework and ensure that Care Property Invest consistently operates in line with its values. It also ensures compliance with both internal and external regulations. Details of the expertise of each individual member can be found in the Corporate Governance Statement of this report.

4.2 Corporate culture and business ethics

4.2.1 Approach to impacts, risks and opportunities

ESRS G1-1

At Care Property Invest, corporate culture and business ethics are at the core of our operations and essential to our long-term success. Our integrity policy sets the tone for how we conduct business, ensuring that all employees, management, the Board of Directors, and third parties with whom we engage adhere to the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and responsibility. This policy goes beyond compliance, fostering an organisational attitude where every individual is accountable for their actions and decision-making. It reflects our core values of integrity, respect, and responsibility, which guide our interactions with shareholders, employees, clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

The integrity policy outlines the Company's commitment to ethical behaviour, providing a clear framework for action when laws or procedures may be unclear. It emphasises the importance of personal responsibility and moral conduct, ensuring that all business activities align with Care Property Invest's mission, vision, and values. This framework is crucial for maintaining the trust and confidence of all stakeholders, as it ensures that our actions are consistent with the Company's commitment to ethics and sustainability.

Although anti-corruption and bribery are not considered material topics in our most recent materiality assessment, Care Property Invest maintains a firm commitment to ethical business practices. Our anti-corruption and bribery policy, aligned with the United Nations Convention against Corruption, is part of our broader governance framework. We continue to disclose relevant information in this area to demonstrate our alignment with international standards and stakeholder expectations. To date, Care Property Invest has never been convicted or fined for violations of anticorruption or anti-bribery laws, underscoring the effectiveness of our internal controls and the ethical culture we foster through ongoing employee awareness and training.

This commitment extends beyond our own operations to include our external business partners. Through our Supplier Code of Conduct, we engage our suppliers as active partners in our sustainability strategy. This Code sets out clear expectations in line with our values and ESG commitments, covering topics such as environmental responsibility, human rights, fair labour practices, anti-corruption, and data protection. Care Property Invest expects all suppliers engaged in providing products and/or services to the Company to comply with the principles and standards set out in the Supplier Code of Conduct. Suppliers are also encouraged to promote these standards within their own supply chains. We believe that responsible sourcing and transparent supplier relations are essential to achieving our longterm objectives and building a caring future together.

The Board of Directors plays a crucial role in shaping and maintaining this corporate culture, ensuring that it aligns with the Company's strategic goals and ethical standards. The Board sets the tone at the top, reinforcing the Company's commitment to integrity and responsible conduct. In addition, the Board regularly evaluates the Company's ethical performance and ensures that these values are embedded across all levels of the organisation .

Our commitment to the UN Global Compact

Business ethics are vital for sustainable business success. To support this, Care Property Invest has implemented robust mechanisms to identify, report, and investigate any concerns related to unethical behaviour. Our whistleblowing policy provides secure, confidential channels for employees and external stakeholders to report misconduct without fear of retaliation. Although there have been no whistleblower cases to date, the compliance officer is responsible for managing any future reports, ensuring that concerns are investigated impartially and promptly, with corrective actions taken when necessary. This proactive approach ensures that, should any concerns arise, they will be handled in a transparent and effective manner.

Employee education is a key component of our commitment to corporate culture and business ethics. We conduct annual training sessions for all employees, led by the compliance officer, to ensure that they fully understand the Company's ethical guidelines and how they apply to their daily work. This training covers amongst others the Integrity Policy, the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy, and our Supplier Code of Conduct. By fostering an ethical mindset throughout the organisation, we empower employees to make responsible decisions and act in line with Care Property Invest's core values.

Certain functions within the Company, particularly those with access to sensitive financial data or decision-making power over investments, are inherently more vulnerable to ethical risks. To mitigate these risks, Care Property Invest implements targeted safeguards and internal controls, ensuring that employees in high-risk positions adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct .

Our strong ethical culture and commitment to responsible business conduct are further reinforced by our support for the UN Global Compact and its ten universal principles. In line with this commitment, we continue to support the UN Global Compact in all our activities. This involves endorsing ten principles that are essential to four core areas: human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. We are dedicated to supporting, respecting, and safeguarding human rights that are internationally recognised, and we ensure that we do not participate in any way in human rights abuses. We are also committed to upholding freedom of association, recognising the right to collective bargaining, eradicating forced and child labour, and promoting equality by eliminating any form of discrimination.

Furthermore, we pledge to take a precautionary approach to tackle environmental challenges (i.e. prevention rather than remediation), by proactively initiating corporate responsibility initiatives and supporting the development and diffusion of eco-friendly technologies. Finally, we take an active stance against all forms of corruption, extortion and bribery.

TARGETS & ACTIONS

• Annual corporate culture and business ethics training is part of our internal training programme and is organised for all employees

As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards, we have set the permanent target of providing annual corporate culture and business ethics training for all employees. This training, which has been fully integrated into our internal training programme since 2022, is embedded into our organisational structure. It ensures that all employees, from entry-level staff to senior management, are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to adhere to legal and ethical standards while making responsible decisions.

The training programme is designed to address critical areas such as ethical decisionmaking, conflict of interest prevention, and compliance with both legal requirements and company policies (e.g. integrity policy, anti-corruption and bribery policy, Supplier Code of Conduct...). It is delivered annually to ensure that employees remain well-informed of their responsibilities and are aware of any regulatory updates or changes in internal procedures. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the programme is continuously assessed, with feedback from employees helping to refine the training content and delivery

methods. This ongoing review ensures that the training remains relevant and impactful in addressing emerging risks and reinforcing our commitment to ethical business practices.

The scope of this initiative is comprehensive, covering all employees across the organisation, including the Executive Committee, to ensure a unified approach to business conduct. By providing this training across our operations, we ensure that every member of our team is aligned with the Company's ethical standards, regardless of their role or location.

The expected outcomes of this initiative are clear: we aim to reinforce compliance with legal and ethical standards, encourage responsible decision-making, reduce the risk of conflicts of interest, and improve our relationships with stakeholders by fostering transparency and accountability. It will remain a cornerstone of our employee development strategy moving forward.

In support of our commitment to cyber security, Care Property Invest provides regular security awareness training for all employees. This training is designed to raise awareness and improve employees' understanding of cyber risks and best practices, ensuring that everyone is equipped to play an active role in protecting company data and systems.

Furthermore, to ensure business continuity, all business applications and data are hosted in a secure and scalable cloud-based environment. This setup maximises business agility, reduces operational costs, and enables employees to work remotely from any location, offering the necessary flexibility for homeworking.

4.3 Cyber security and data protection

4.3.1 Approach to impacts, risks and opportunities

Entity specific KPI

At Care Property Invest, cyber security and data protection are integral to our operations, and we are committed to safeguarding sensitive information while ensuring uninterrupted business continuity. As part of our proactive approach, we aim to foster a security culture that is embedded in every aspect of the organisation. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards security breaches, ensuring that cyber security is prioritised as a core value within our culture and operations.

To manage the material risks and opportunities related to cybersecurity and data protection, Care Property Invest has established policies and controls to protect against known and emerging threats. Since 2022, we have conducted regular cyber security risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and proactively address potential threats. This ongoing assessment helps ensure that our systems are resilient and that potential risks are identified early, allowing us to take timely action to mitigate them.

Our commitment to addressing cyber security and data protection incidents promptly and objectively is reinforced through the implementation of rigorous security protocols, which are regularly updated to reflect the evolving landscape of cyber threats. In the event of an incident, Care Property Invest is dedicated to investigating promptly and thoroughly, ensuring that corrective actions are taken as necessary to maintain business integrity and security.

By taking these actions and initiatives, Care Property Invest is not only protecting its own data and assets but also safeguarding those of our customers and partners. Our ongoing efforts in cyber security and data protection prepare us for compliance with the upcoming NIS 2 Directive, and we are committed to achieving full compliance by 2026. Furthermore, to ensure compliance with the Directive, Care Property Invest has implemented targeted training for employees in exposed functions, including the Executive Committee. This additional training focuses specifically on NIS 2 requirements, ensuring that those with critical roles in cybersecurity and data protection are prepared to meet the new regulatory demands.

5. Appendices

5.1 Appendix I – EPRA Overarching Recommendations

This sustainability statement is based on the EPRA sBPR guidelines and is in accordance with the Euronext ESG Guidelines and the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) standard: Core level. Consideration has been given to the GRI's industry-specific supplement for the construction and real estate sector.

Organisational boundaries

This sustainability statement covers our healthcare real estate properties owned by the organisation, in accordance with the principles of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. 100% of our portfolio is indirectly managed (controlled by the tenant) with no operational control and the published data is calculated based on information retrieved by Care Property Invest either from energy monitoring systems (EMS) installed in our investment properties, or information directly obtained from the tenant. As we do not have the possibility to retrieve data from our assisted living apartments, these are systematically excluded from the scope. Only our investment portfolio, 65 sites (336,556m²), out of 147 sites in our total portfolio in operation, excluding projects under development and projects intended for sale (583,962m²), is included in the monitoring scope. This represents 58% of our whole portfolio based on surface. The initial portfolio of finance leases to local governments as well as groups of assisted living apartments are not taken into account, since each flat has its own individual private energy and water meter which are fully controlled by the resident (end-user). These private meters cannot be monitored by Care Property Invest, due to complicated data collection and privacy considerations of the tenant. Moreover, projects intended for sale are also excluded.

Per exception, the reporting Cert-Tot covers 100% of Care Property Invest's total portfolio, excluding the projects under development and projects intended for sale (583,962m²). The certified percentage is calculated based on the m² for which a certificate is identified versus the m² of the operational portfolio (total portfolio excl. projects under development and projects intended for sale).

Corporate data covers 100% our daily activities within our administrative head offices (1,255 m²). Social data is directly retrieved from our Human Resources (HR) department.

Coverage

Coverage is expressed as % m² versus the total m² and indicated in the tables for each indicator. Coverage for EPRA environmental indicators (energy, water and waste) is calculated based on the investment portfolio (336,556m²). This excludes finance leases, groups of assisted living apartments and projects intended for sale. This represents 58% of our whole portfolio based on surface. Coverage for the indicator 'Cert-Tot' is based on m² versus the entire portfolio excluding projects under development and projects intended for sale (583,962m²) as, here, data are available.

Reported environmental data concerning our head offices (energy, water and waste) are covering 100% of our own operations.

Human Resources data are reported for our head offices. The scope of HR data collection in terms of headcount, turnover and trainings is 100%.

The distinction between landlords and tenants in not applicable to Care Property invest.

Estimation on landlord-obtained utility consumption

No estimations were performed on landlordobtained utility consumption. Only actual data were reported to ensure reliability of the reported data.

For Care Property Invest head offices, no estimations were conducted on the published data.

Third Party Assurance

No third party assurance has been conducted on EPRA performance indicators.

EY Bedrijfsrevisoren srl provided a limited assurance conclusion on the use of proceeds for the issuances of sustainable finance instruments included in the section 'Sustainable Finance Framework and Allocation of Proceeds' of the sustainability statement of this Annual Report.

Boundaries – Reporting on landlord and tenant consumption

All data on our portfolio's energy consumption was obtained via the operator's integrated energy monitoring system, energy accounting system or utility suppliers.

Normalisation

Care Property Invest calculates energy and water intensity ratios by dividing with the portfolio's floor surface. This enables a likefor-like comparison of energy and water consumption between different periods. Intensity ratio's for our head offices our calculated by dividing with total FTE's at yearend.

We have made the decision to not normalise gas consumption and instead provide actual figures. This is prompted by the growing prevalence of energy meters that measure both weather-dependent (such as heating) and nonweather-dependent (e.g. lighting, equipment, etc.) energy consumption as a combined entity. Using normalised figures in such cases may result in erroneous and misleading outcomes.

Segmental analysis

Care Property Invest only owns one property type, healthcare real estate. It is clearly stated when a distinction is made between our investment portfolio (excl. assisted living assets) and our finance leases (assisted living portfolio). Except for energy labels, we do not report ESG information at country level, but this is available upon request.

The impact of Care Property Invest head offices is also communicated in separate tables.

Disclosure on own offices

Disclosure on ESG performance for our own operations is clearly reported in separate tables. Care Property Invest owns its head offices in Belgium. There are no offices abroad.

The social indicators cover all employees (24 employees) in Belgium (22 employees) and The Netherlands (2 employees).

No estimations have been made and the coverage is 100% for each indicator.

Narrative on performance

The results on environmental performance covering both our investment portfolio and our head offices are explained in detail in the sections 'Environmental performance of our portfolio' and 'Environmental performance of our own operations'.

In 2024, our investment portfolio's energy intensity was 126 kWh/m² (-5% YoY), representing a 17% decrease compared to 2020. This improvement reflects a combination of better monitoring, the increasing coverage of our energy monitoring systems (EMS), and more accurate data collection. Our efforts to reduce energy usage also contribute directly to lowering our greenhouse gas emissions intensity, which stood at 21 kg CO₂e/m² in 2024, a 25% reduction compared to 2020 (-16% YoY). This decline is largely driven by improved building performance, the installation of photovoltaic panels across several sites, and an increased shift to green energy suppliers. In 2024, 49% of the electricity used in our portfolio came from renewable sources, underscoring our commitment to decarbonisation. Moreover, despite the improvements in energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions, a 75% increase in water intensity was perceived over the past five years. In contrast to earlier years, where water consumption was clearly linked to higher post-COVID occupancy rates in care homes, the exact drivers behind this year's increase remain unclear. We are currently investigating this development and will work closely with care providers to implement measures that promote more efficient water use where needed.

In the area of waste production, we observed a 14% decrease in like-for-like figures in 2024. However, the exact cause of this decline remains unclear. Our coverage has decreased again this year, highlighting the ongoing challenge of collecting complete and reliable waste data. This limited coverage complicates the accurate interpretation of developments in waste management.

Concerning our head offices, we recently conducted a comprehensive energy audit at our head offices to precisely assess our current energy and water consumption and identify potential areas for improvement. Armed with the insights from this audit, we implemented technical enhancements to bolster our energy efficiency efforts. This resulted in a 5% decrease of our energy consumption compared to 2023. Moreover, our electricity consumption is entirely sourced from our own energy production through PV panels or through a green electricity provider.

Our greenhouse gas emissions intensity figures have witnessed a decrease (-12%) in 2024, primarily driven by the ongoing electrification of our vehicle fleet. As more electric vehicles replace conventional company cars, the resulting reduction in fuel consumption has had a measurable impact on our scope 1 emissions.

We have installed systems for rainwater recovery and treatment and implemented a monitoring system to track water usage. This gave us better insights into our consumption patterns and enabled us to implement targeted efficiency measures. As a result, we have been able to significantly reduce our water usage over the past year (-65%).

Regarding the social indicators, detailed figures can be found in appendix II. The gender diversity within Care Property Invest remains quite stable compared to previous years. Our diversity policy is described in the chapter 11.7 of the Report of the Board of Directors.

Concerning the gender pay ratio, this ratio remains stable over the years. Due to his role there's a considerably higher remuneration of the CEO in comparison to other members. However, both the COO and the CFO receive equal remuneration. As for the Board, Directors holding the same position are provided with identical fixed remuneration, with the exception of the Board Chairman. This exemplifies our Company's dedication to addressing the issue of gender pay inequality. For more comprehensive information, we refer to the remuneration report of 2024, available in this Annual Report.

The number of training hours remain stable in 2024, increasing the figure with 2%. More details on the Company's training policy can be found in the core of this Sustainability Statement.

Moreover, in line with the integration of competence management into our employee journey, 100% of our employees have received formal performance appraisal.

In 2024, we welcomed two new hires in the Company. Two employees left the firm voluntarily.

There were no work related accidents in 2024 and we observed a low absentee rate of 1.38%.

Additional information

Direct and indirect carbon emissions

Measurement of our CO2 emissions is based on the guidelines of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting and national CRREM emission factors. Geography is taken into account when selecting emission factors.

Care Property Invest has no operational control over consumption in its portfolio. These buildings are directly managed by our care providers. Portfolio GHG emissions are considered as indirect emissions (scope 3).

5.2 Appendix II – EPRA Performance Indicators

EPRA INDICATORS – ENVIRONMENTAL ESRS E1-5; E1-6

The tables below summarise all environmental indicators according to the EPRA sBPR guidelines for our investment properties portfolio(1). Indicators reflecting the impact of our own operations are also presented. Coverage is expressed as the percentage of m² versus the total m². Coverage doesn't always correspond to the EMS coverage of 94% at the end of 2024 because for some assets we obtain data manually provided by operators (e.g. data based on invoices). More detailed information related to the scope and coverage can be consulted in Appendix I.

In line with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, 100% of the reported indirect emissions related to our investment properties portfolio are classified under Scope 3, Category 13: downstream leased assets. For our own operations, direct emissions are reported under Scope 1 and include fuel and fleet emissions. Indirect emissions are reported under Scope 2, related to electricity emissions, and under Scope 3, including: Category 3 (fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2), Category 5 (waste generated in operations), Category 6 (business travel), and Category 7 (employee commuting).

Type and number of certificates (Cert-Tot)

Based on the surface of the impacted buildings, we calculated the percentage of our complete portfolio that is covered by an Energy Performance Certification or energy label. EPCs are acquired to enhance our understanding of the energy efficiency of our portfolio. Care Property Invest ensures that an EPC is obtained for each new development.

Due to the specific needs of senior residents (e.g. constant temperature needs to be maintained in the premises), issuance of BREEAM certificates are quite rare in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland for healthcare real estate. However, we have observed an evolution in recent years regarding the acquisition of such labels within our sector. Consequently, we will explore the advantages and benefits of obtaining these labels for our portfolio.

1. Status of the real estate market in which the Company operates

Care Property Invest occupies a clear position within the RREC landscape through its specialisation within the market segment of housing for senior citizens. This is the segment in which it is mainly active today, but certainly not exclusively, because in 2014 it extended the definition of its social purpose to the market for people with disabilities in order to realise projects in this segment as well. Geographical expansion also figured on the agenda through the realisation of an objective expansion to the entire European Economic Area.

The Company's preparations in this context paid off in 2018 with a first acquisition on Dutch territory. In June 2020 Care Property Invest entered the Spanish market followed by the Irish market in 2022.

The table below provides an overview of the projects that the Company was able to acquire/ complete in The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland during the 2024 financial year. More information on these projects can be found in chapter 'II. Report of the Board of Directors', point '2.1 Important events during the 2024 financial year' on page 58.

The Company's real estate strategy is largely determined by the growing demand for real estate with a social added value, specifically care infrastructure that is fully tailored to the needs of its residents. This strategy is supported by the demographic evolution of the Belgian, Dutch, Spanish as well as the Irish population. For new investment projects, the Company focuses on qualitative, sustainable and future-proof buildings, located in good locations with reliable operators with whom a long-term commitment can be made, preferably under a triple net regime. The Company applies this strategy to all the markets in which it is active.

Care Property Invest's approach simultaneously meets the expectations and needs of operators in these markets by entering into long-term contracts and partnerships.

From its experience in building service flats for the Flemish Government, Belgian local authorities and charitable organisations continue to form an important target group. Furthermore, Care Property Invest also focuses on the private market through the realisation of residential care projects with experienced private operators in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and since 2022 in Ireland.

Below, the Company includes the description of the healthcare real estate markets in the countries in which it operates.

The market for Belgian healthcare real estate

Supply and demand

According to the National Planning Bureau, the percentage of people aged 65 and over in Belgium is increasing and will peak at 24.37% of the population in 2040, representing 3.01 million people. The proportion of people aged 80 and over amounted to 5.5% in 2023 and will gradually increase to 8.44% in 2040.

Lennik (BE) I Keymolen

Regardless of the current supply, which at present amounts to an average equipment rate of above 20% and thus in line with WHO benchmarks, a further increase in the number of beds to 360,000 by 2070 will be needed to meet growing demand. The need for sustainable buildings is increasing due to constantly evolving regional regulations and technical requirements. Buildings that fail to meet these standards in the future will not only decrease in value but also become less attractive to residents, who today have higher comfort requirements than previous generations.

Investment market

Average occupancy rates in Belgium are generally good, returning to pre-COVID levels. Only in the Brussels region occupancy rates are lagging behind, putting a brake on further growth. This is partly due to the policy whereby licences for unoccupied beds are withdrawn, making private operators and investors reluctant. In addition, operators are still struggling with staff shortages, which increases operational pressure. Using interim staff as an alternative involves high costs, which has a negative impact on healthcare operators' figures.

In 2023, the investment volume in Belgium amounted to approximately €300 million, a 51% decrease compared to 2022. For 2024, the investment volume amounts to €170 million. Some transactions took place in 2024: Anima-AGRE was active, Aedifica acquired an existing residential care centre in December for approximately €29 million and Healthcare Activos expanded its Belgian portfolio with three acquisitions of existing residential care centres.

In 2024, the prime yield stabilised at 5.25%. Sustainability plays a crucial role here, as prime yields are awarded to high-quality, energyefficient buildings with long-term agreements, concluded with Tier 1 operators.

The recent crisis among operators has shown that such agreements last only as long as the EBITDAR of the operation is not squeezed by external shocks, such as sustained increases in energy or staff costs. The extent to which an operation remains viable in the long term will determine any potential impact on current yield levels.

Opportunities and challenges Opportunities and challenges

Rising operating costs remain a concern. Personnel costs are increasing, partly due to the growing number of temporary staff deployed to cover the shortfall, and partly due to the higher cost of adequately trained staff. In addition, significant resources will be deployed in the coming years to meet more stringent ESG requirements.

Moreover, current inflation is forcing up other operating costs. We also notice an increasing professionalisation and consolidation of healthcare real estate in Belgium, with more and more insurers, pension funds and foreign investors stepping in because of the attractive long-term and indexed leases.

A limited recovery in market activity is expected in 2025, provided interest rates stabilise and yields also show stability. Sustainability will continue to play an important role, but a significant increase in investment volume seems feasible only when governments grant accreditations for residential care centres again. Until then, transactions will mainly focus on existing operations and developments, where beds of outdated infrastructure will be transferred.

The market for Dutch healthcare real estate Supply and demand

Demand for healthcare real estate remains as high as ever, but transaction volume has been lagging somewhat in recent years. In the past two years, the transaction volume halved compared to previous years. In particular, investments in new builds declined sharply, while the national ambition is to realise 35,000 extra elderly homes annually.

This ambition is supported by the strong ageing of the population that is currently taking place. In 2030, there will be more than 2 million people aged 75- and over, while the current housing supply is insufficient and does not properly match the demand from this target group. In addition, much of the existing housing supply is outdated and does not meet sustainability standards. This will require investments in the coming years to meet the needs of our time and to get in line with climate targets.

Investment market

In 2024, the investment volume in healthcare real estate rose to approximately €725 million, an increase of approximately 11% compared to the previous year. However, this is still less than in the period 2018-2022, during which an average of approximately €1.2 billion per year was invested in healthcare real estate.

Last year, there were only a few large transactions, including a sale-and-leaseback deal from Living at September (Emeis) worth €97 million. This transaction included 11 private care locations across The Netherlands.

The decline in investment volume was mainly caused by high financing costs and sharply increased construction prices due to inflation. This created a large gap between the prices required by developers and the price investors are willing to pay. With construction prices cautiously stabilising and interest rates declining, these factors seem to be converging again. As a result, prime yields are also falling slightly again to levels of 5% - 5.25%.

Driven by ESG goals, many investors are allocating capital to impact investments, increasing the availability of funding for the healthcare real estate sector.

Regulation centres.

On 1 July 2024, the Housing Valuation System (Dutch: Woningwaarderingsstelsel or 'WWS') changed for (non)self-contained houses. The WWS(o) regulates the maximum rent for houses that fall under social and medium rents. (Non) self-contained housing is housing that, for example, does not have its own kitchen, which is often the case with care homes in private residential care

Residents of these care centres typically receive a combined package of housing and care. As care predominates in this and living without a care agreement is not possible, these care homes do not fall under the new WWS(o) and the care operator is therefore not bound by this new

legislation.

In addition, the new Environment Act was introduced on 1 January 2024. This act combines 24 laws on spatial planning, environment, water and other areas. The introduction of the new Environment Act will create a more integrated vision among the central government, provinces, water boards and municipalities, which should enable faster decision-making.

In addition, governments should involve local residents and businesses in plan making through participation. This should increase their support and reduce objection procedures.

Opportunities and challenges

Despite the willingness of many investors to invest in healthcare real estate (approximately €4.5 billion over the next three years), only 5% of new construction plans for 2025 involve senior or care housing. With an ambition of 100,000 new homes every year, this equates to only 5,000 care homes. Thus, to address the rising shortage, more initiative is needed from the sector.

Madrid (ES) I Emera Carabanchel

In addition, the shortage of care staff is rising faster than expected. As a result of the ageing population, the demand for care staff is increasing, while a quarter of the current staff will retire in the next 10 years. As a result, according to ABF Research, the shortage will reach 240,000 care professionals across the entire care sector by 2033.

To address this, the cabinet proposes three measures: (i) reducing the administrative burden with the help of innovations such as AI, (ii) increasing job satisfaction and (iii) proper deployment of staff in cooperation with informal carers and volunteers.

The market for Spanish healthcare real estate

Supply and demand

The healthcare real estate market in Spain remains strongly driven by growing demand and structural challenges on the supply side. High life expectancy in Spain, expected to be the highest in Europe by 2050, is a key driver. Moreover, baby boomers (aged 50-60) make up approximately 25% of Spain's population, while the number of people aged 80 and over currently amounts to 2.9 million. Further ageing of the population is expected by 2042, with an estimated 14.8 million people aged 65 and over and 4.89 million people aged 80 and over.

On the supply side, the sector suffers from a shortage of beds and outdated infrastructure that does not always meet current standards or residents' expectations. Currently, there are an estimated 410,000 available beds, resulting in an equipment rate (the number of beds per 100 people aged 80 and over) of approximately 15%, lower than the 20% recommended by the WHO. At the same time, the demand for sustainable buildings is increasing to make healthcare real estate more compatible with the technical requirements and needs of future generations.

Despite the fragmentation of the market, 24% of the private care supply is managed by a few major players, including DomusVi, Emeis, Vitalia, Amavir, Ballesol, Clece and Colisée.

Investment market

Investment volume in healthcare real estate fell sharply compared to its peak in 2021, when transactions reached a total value of €1.2 billion. In 2024, large transactions remained limited, with the only exception being a sale-and-leaseback deal by DomusVi worth €92 million. The total investment volume in 2024 amounts to €310 million

The reluctance in the market is mainly caused by high financing costs, which create a gap between what investors are willing to pay and the asking prices of developers and/or sellers. In addition, inflation and rising operating costs, as well as stricter European sustainability standards for buildings, impact construction and development costs.

Interest in assisted living apartments is growing due to rising demand for adapted care facilities for seniors. Although large transactions remain limited, this segment is gaining popularity, including with international investors. For instance, Eurofund Group is investing €110 million in Spanish seniors' complexes under the Luana label, with projects in Estepona (129 apartments) and Mijas (157 apartments). Sanitas is also entering the market with a small senior-living complex in Madrid, Harmonices, which will open in early 2025 and offer 15 apartments for 32 residents.

The prime yield stabilised at 5.5% in the second half of 2024. Sustainability plays an important role here; prime yields are awarded to high-quality, energy-efficient, modular buildings with many single rooms, located in major cities such as Barcelona or Madrid.

Opportunities and challenges

A further reduction in financing costs is necessary to make financing new developments attractive again. This helps to bridge the gap between what developers seek and what investors are willing or able to pay. In addition, (environmental) legislation will also remain a crucial factor for investors to consider in Spain.

A limited resurgence in market activity is expected for 2025, provided the stabilisation of interest rates is confirmed. At the same time, the continued strong demand for care and the urgent need for additional beds could provide an important driver for this revival.

In this context, Vitalia announced that CVC Capital Partners has agreed to sell its stake in the Spanish group to US investment firm StepStone. This new phase aims to continue Vitalia's expansion plans, including an investment of up to €100 million in 1,000 assisted living apartments, strategically located near their existing residences.

The market for Irish healthcare real estate Supply and demand

Between 2016 and 2022, the number of people aged 65 and over grew by 22%, making up 15.3% of the population. The percentage of people aged 80 and over in the population, currently 4% (percentages based on 2022 census), is expected to rise to 11.1% by 2060. This ageing population and the growing group of older people with care needs create a structural demand for futureproof residential care locations and highlight the need to replace outdated infrastructure. The average length of stay of residents in residential care centres is currently between 12 and 18 months, while residents' care needs are increasing. To meet the growing demand for residential care places, an estimated 10,000 additional beds need to be created over the next 10 years. This will require significant investment, overcoming challenges such as rising construction costs and limited availability of affordable development sites.

The private sector currently has 26,000 beds spread across 415 residential care centres. The public and non-profit institutions, under the supervision of the HSE, manage approximately 6,000 beds spread across 110 residential care centres. Despite this capacity, there is a shortage of beds in many regions, especially those where bed capacity does not meet the Economic and Social Research Institute guideline of 4.5% of people aged 65 and over. Many older residential care centres no longer meet modern standards, leading to further closures and a growing need for investments.

Investment market

Since 2015, international operators such as Vivalto, Immac and DomusVi have entered the Irish market. Currently, more than 50% of residential care centres are part of group management, illustrating the consolidati

on within the sector. The healthcare real estate market has developed strongly in recent years, with a peak investment volume of €630 million in 2021. Besides traditional transactions, financing models, such as sale-and-leaseback and forward funding, are being used more frequently, which has contributed to the development of the sector.

Institutional investors such as REITs and funds, including Care Property Invest, account for approximately 25% of total beds.

Prime yields, which reached 4.50% in 2022, have now risen to approximately 5.50%, indicating a change in the investment climate.

Sustainability (ESG) remains a key focus for both operators and investors. Focus is on energyefficient and future-proof residential care locations, in line with international ESG criteria. At the same time, stricter quality standards, such as HIQA requirements, are further improving the sector. However, this may lead to closure of older, non-compliant facilities, which will be particularly noticeable outside urban areas.

Opportunities and challenges

The sector is facing labour market challenges. Rising healthcare demand requires qualified healthcare staff. Reliance on international workers remains high, while rising salary costs and inflation increase financial pressure on operators. Rising costs are putting pressure on operators' margins. The 'Fair Deal' subsidy model (since 2009) provides a stable base for many operators, although rates have fallen behind on inflation.

Legislation and regulations, especially on ESG, are becoming stricter, presenting both opportunities and challenges. Investment in sustainable and energy-efficient buildings can lead to cost savings and improved market position, but requires significant initial

investment.

The Irish healthcare real estate sector, despite some challenges, offers attractive opportunities for investors and operators focused on highquality, sustainable residential care solutions.

(1) As at 31 December 2024, Care Property Invest has 150 effectively acquired projects in its portfolio, of which 147 were completed and 3 projects under development, specifically 'St. Josephkerk' in Hillegom (NL), 'Saamborgh Almelo' in Almelo (NL), and 'Solimar Elche' in Elche (ES). As at 31 December 2024, there is also 1 project for which an agreement under suspensory conditions has already been signed, namely 'Fleurâge Residences' in Bloemendaal (NL) which was acquired on 15 January 2025.

2.7 Occupancy rate

The vast majority of the contracts concluded are 'triple net' contracts, as a result of which the ground rent or rental fee is always payable in full regardless of the actual occupancy rate and as a result of which the economic occupancy rate of these projects always amounts to 100% (1). As a result, vacancy of the residential units has no impact on the income generated by the Company.

The Company can therefore confirm that the overall occupancy rate on the investment properties and finance leases is 100% (EPRA rental vacancy rate 0%) as at 31 December 2024.

Nevertheless, the Company wishes to include reporting on the overall actual occupancy rate in its reporting to meet the information needs of its stakeholders in that regard.

The upward trend in these actual occupancy rates of the residential care centres(2), which had already started in 2022 after the corona pandemic, continued in 2023 and was reconfirmed during the 2024 financial year. It is well above 80% for mature assets in all countries where Care Property Invest operates.

The table below shows the occupancy rates of investment properties by country as at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024. Only mature assets were included in the sample.

Occupancy rate mature portfolio (1) Country weighting (2) Scope coverage (3)
Country 31 December 2023 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 31 December 2024
Belgium 92.78% 93.59% 77.62% 63.47% 100.00% 100.00%
The Netherlands 87.64% 89.47% 3.62% 11.27% 100.00% 100.00%
Spain 97.82% 93.63% 6.42% 15.87% 100.00% 100.00%
Ireland 94.32% 96.81% 12.34% 9.39% 100.00% 100.00%
TOTAL 93.11% 93.43% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00%

(2) In further notes, the portfolio of finance leases, among others, is excluded given the very limited counterparty risk.

(1) An asset is considered mature when it has been operational for at least two years and there is no vacancy due to renovation works.

(2) Share of a country's reported mature portfolio in the total reported mature portfolio.

(3) Scope coverage is based on the annualised rental income of the reported mature assets compared to the annualised rental income of the total scope.

Overall, we see an increase in occupancy rates from 93.11% to 93.43%. Only in Spain do we notice a decrease due to the difference in perimeter over both periods. In the other countries where Care Property Invest operates, the occupancy rate continued to increase.

2.8 Insured value of the real estate

For the buildings that the Company develops or has developed itself, the Company contracts CAR insurance as well as liability insurance during the construction phase. 10-year liability insurance is contracted from the date that the projects are made available to the tenant.

The lease-, tenancy and provision contracts include an obligation for all leaseholders, tenants and parties to which the property is made available to contract the necessary fire insurance for the new construction value and this for both investment properties and finance leases. Care Property Invest thus pays no insurance premiums for these properties.

The leaseholder is usually also required to take out a loss of income policy, which covers the Company in case the property becomes unusable. The Company therefore strictly monitors operators' compliance with their insurance obligations.

2.9 Breakdown by real estate entity

In compliance with Article 30 of the RREC Law, no more than 20% of the consolidated assets may be invested in real estate that constitutes a single real estate entity. The statutory threshold of 20%, as stated in Article 30 of the RREC Legislation, was not exceeded by Care Property Invest during the 2024 financial year. As at 31 December 2024, the concentration risk on the three largest operators within our real estate portfolio amounts to 13.78% for Colisée, 11.14% for Vulpia and 7.76% for Korian.

The Company always considers this legal provision in every acquisition it makes and the order in which investments are made.

(1) Care Property Invest only runs a vacancy risk for the 'Tilia' project in Gullegem. For the 2024 financial year, the occupancy rate amounted to 100% compared to 94% for the 2023 financial year. For the projects in the initial portfolio, the risk is placed entirely with the counterparty and the Company receives the ground rent (canon) regardless of the occupancy rate. For the new projects too, the Company seeks to shift this risk entirely to the counterparty.

(1) For the hypotheses and principles adopted for the estimate of the rental value, reference is made to paragraph '4. Report of the real estate expert' on page 228. For the 'Aan de Kaai' investment property, the real estate expert based the calculation of the rental value on the assumption that the day-care centre will/can be converted into an additional 10 rooms. This estimated rental value is shown segmented by country.

(2) The calculation also takes into account the fair value of the ongoing development projects per operator. The other real estate entities do not represent more than 5% of the total assets. The consolidated assets include finance leases at fair value.

(3) For the calculation method of the occupancy rate, we refer to paragraph '1.4 Occupancy rate' on page 373 of Chapter IX. Glossary.

4. Report of the real estate expert

The total fair value of the real estate portfolio amounts to €1,240,453,986(1). It consists of, on the one hand, investment properties and, on other hand, finance leases.

4.1 Investment properties

The real estate portfolio has been valued by Stadim, Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE. The total fair value of the investment properties amounts to €1,015,281,986 (including rights in rem), of which €749,424,095 (74%) was valued by Stadim, €170,900,128 (17%) by Cushman & Wakefield and €94,957,763 (9%) by CBRE.

(1) Including rights in rem.

4.1.1 Real estate report by Stadim

Dear Madam or Sir,

According to the statutory provisions, we have the honour of expressing our opinion on the value of the real estate portfolio of the public regulated real estate company (public RREC) Care Property Invest as at 31 December 2024.

Both Stadim bv and the natural persons that represent Stadim confirm that they have acted as independent experts and hold the necessary relevant and recognised qualifications.

The valuation was performed on the basis of the market value, as defined in the 'International Valuation Standards' published by the 'Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' (the 'Red Book'). As part of a report that complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), our estimates reflect the fair value. The fair value is defined by the IAS 40 standard as the amount for which the assets would be traded between two well-informed parties, on a voluntary basis, without special interests, mutual or otherwise. IVSC considers that these conditions have been met if the above definition of market value is respected. The market value must also reflect the current rental agreements, the current gross margin for self-financing (or cash flow), the reasonable assumptions concerning the potential rental income and the expected costs.

The costs of deeds must be adjusted in this context to the current situation in the market. Following an analysis of a large number of transactions, the real estate experts acting in a working group at the request of listed real estate companies reached the conclusion that, as real estate can be transferred in different forms, the impact of the transaction costs on large investment properties in the Belgian market

The fair value of our real estate portfolio amounts to €1,240 million.

with a value in excess of €2.5 million is limited to 2.5%. The value with no additional costs payable by the buyer therefore corresponds to the fair value plus deed costs of 2.5%. The fair value is therefore calculated by dividing the value with no additional costs payable by the buyer by 1.025. The properties below the threshold of €2.5 million and the foreign properties are subject to the customary registration laws and their fair value therefore corresponds to the value with costs payable by the buyer.

Both the current lease contracts and all rights and obligations arising from these contracts were taken into account in the estimates of the property values. Individual estimates were made for each property. The estimates do not take account of any potential added value that could be realised by offering the portfolio as a whole in the market. Our valuation does not take account of selling costs or taxes payable in relation to a transaction or development of real estate. These could include estate agents' fees or publicity costs, for example.

In addition to an annual inspection of the relevant real estate, our estimates are also based on the information provided by Care Property Invest in relation to the rental situation, the floor areas, the drawings or plans, the rental charges and taxes in connection with the properties concerned, conformity with laws and regulations and environmental pollution. The information provided was deemed to be accurate and complete. Our estimates assume that elements that were not reported are not of a nature that would influence the value of the property. This valuation reflects the value in the market on the valuation

date.

As at 31 December 2024, the fair value of the real estate portfolio amounts to €748,114,100 and the market value with no additional costs payable by the buyer (or the investment value, before deduction of transfer tax) to €783,601,100. The fair value of the outstanding ground rent still due amounts to €1,310,000.

4.1.2 Real estate report by Cushman & Wakefield

Dear Madam, Sir,

We are pleased to send you our estimate of the fair value of investment properties held by Care property Invest as of 31 December 2024.

The valuations have been carried out taking into account the comments and definitions included in the reports and in accordance with the Practice Statements discussed in the 'RICS Valuation - Global Standards' published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in January 2022.

We have each acted as independent experts for this valuation and possess the required and recognised qualifications, as well as the relevant expertise for these locations and property types. The fair value was primarily determined using recent, comparable transactions completed under market conditions.

The valuation of the properties is assessed on the basis of the current rental contract and all associated rights and obligations. Each property was evaluated individually. This valuation does not take into account the potential value that can be realised by putting the entire portfolio on the market.

The valuations do not take into account the selling costs of a specific transaction such as brokerage or publicity costs. The valuations are based on property visits and information provided by Care Property Invest (such as current rent, area, plans, changes in rent, property taxes and regulations and pollution).

The information provided is assumed to be

accurate and complete. The valuation is carried out on the assumption that the unavailable information does not affect the valuation of the property.

The 3 internationally defined valuation methods, as defined in the RICS Red Book, are the market approach, the cost approach and the income approach. These valuation methods are easily recognised by their basic principles:

    1. The market approach equates to the comparison method of valuation;
    1. The income approach refers to the investment method, either traditional (cap rate) or discounted cash flow (DCF) as well as the term & reversion method (T&R) as a variation of the latter, and is generally used for incomeproducing properties;
    1. The cost approach is often taken to refer to the Depreciated Replacement Cost method (DRC) and is generally used for non-income generating properties.

The different valuation methodologies are explained in the valuation reports and are based on the RICS Red Book.

Based on the valuations, the consolidated fair value of the real estate portfolio amounts to €170,900,128 (after deduction of outstanding construction costs) as at 31 December 2024.

4.1.3 Real estate report by CBRE

The 3 internationally defined valuation methods, as defined in the RICS Red Book, are the market approach, the cost approach and the income approach. These valuation methods are easily recognised by their basic principles:

  1. The market approach, which corresponds to the comparison method;

  2. The income approach, which refers to the investment method, either traditional (cap rate) or discounted cash flow method (DCF), and is typically used for income- generating properties;

  3. The cost approach, which is often used in reference to the Depreciated Replacement Cost method (DRC) and is usually applied to non-income-generating properties.

The different valuation methodologies are explained in the valuation report and are based on the RICS Red Book.

Based on the valuations carried out and as outlined in the valuation report, the consolidated fair value of the portfolio amounts to €94,957,763(1) as at 31 December 2024.

Kind regards

Maureen Bayley Senior Director RICS Registered Valuer

On behalf of CBRE Advisory (Ireland) Ltd

Dear Madam, Sir,

We are pleased to send you our valuation of the fair value of investment properties held by Care property Invest as at 31 December 2024.

The valuations have been carried out in accordance with the current version of the RICS Valuation – Global Standards incorporating the International Valuation Standards and the UK national supplement (the 'Red Book'), as set out in our Terms of Engagement.

We act as an external valuer as defined in the current version of the RICS Valuation – Global Standards. We have acted individually as experts for the valuation where we have the necessary and recognised qualifications as well as the necessary expertise relevant for the specific locations and types of buildings being assessed. The determination of the fair value has been derived primarily by using recent, comparable transactions, under market conditions.

The valuation of the properties is assessed on the basis of the current rental income and all associated rights and obligations. The properties have been valued individually, not taking into account possible discounts or premiums that could be negotiated on the market if the portfolio were to be offered for sale as a whole. The valuations do not take into account the selling costs of a specific transaction such as brokerage

or publicity costs. The valuations are based on property visits and information provided by Care Property Invest. The information provided is assumed to be accurate and complete. The valuations are carried out based on the assumption that any unavailable information does not affect the

valuation of the property.

4.2 Finance leases

The finance leases portfolio was valued by Cushman & Wakefield. The total fair value amounts to €225,172,000.

4.2.1 Report on the finance leases by Cushman & Wakefield

Dear Madam, Sir,

We are pleased to send you our estimate of the fair value of the finance lease held by Care Property Invest as at 31 December 2024.

The valuation of the finance leases is based on information supplied by Care Property Invest (e.g. rental status and area, rental charges and property taxes associated with the property, and compliance and environmental matters). The information supplied was assumed to be accurate and complete.

The valuations were performed under the assumption that uncommunicated information, is unlikely to affect the valuation.

Finance leases are considered in the context of ongoing rental agreements and all rights and obligations arising from these commitments.

We have valued each finance lease separately and have not taken into account any potential value that could be generated by offering the entire portfolio on the market.

We have not taken into account selling expenses applicable to a specific transaction, such as brokerage fees or advertising.

The valuation of the finance leases has been carried out under the following assumptions:

  • The valuations are based on current lease payments (canons), without taking into account future indexations.
  • The current lease payments (canons) or rental streams are based on an average price per apartment.

In addition, the following insights are provided on the portfolio of finance lease:

• The portfolio is divided into an 'old' and 'new' part where there are some differences in the terms of the end-of-lease payment. For the 'new' finance leases, the capital repayments are already included in the lease payments (canons) and consequently no end-of-lease payment needs to be paid.

• The discount rates consist of a risk premium, that is added to a risk-free interest rate for the respective terms of the finance leases (OLO 1D).

  • ° The 'old' finance leases have an additional government guarantee, resulting in a lower risk premium.
  • ° An additional risk premium is included in the discount rate for a non-profit organisation (NPO), which inherently implies a higher risk level.
  • ° The weighted average of the risk-free interest rates and risk premiums of the total portfolio amounts to 4.04%.

Based on the valuations, the consolidated investment value of the finance leases amounts to €225,172,000 as at 31 December 2024.

2. Dividend policy

In accordance with Article 11 §3 of the RREC Law, Article 7: 211 of the Belgian Code of companies and associations (BCCA) – which requires a statutory reserve to be kept - is not applicable. The minimum pay-out requirement is established in accordance with Article 13 of the RREC RD and amounts to 80% of the distributable profit if it exceeds the net decrease in debts. If necessary, and to the extent that there is sufficient profit, part of the profit is reserved and transferred to the following financial years in order to have more own funds for pre-financing and to provide the shareholders a stable dividend for the subsequent financial years. The Company's strategy is to increase the dividend whenever sustainably possible and at least to keep it stable. In addition, it aims for a payout ratio close to the legal minimum of 80% and is considering using an optional dividend to keep profits within the Company to finance its growth strategy.

Taking into account the minimum distribution obligation in accordance with Article 13 of the RREC RD, the Board of Directors will propose to the Ordinary General Meeting of 28 May 2025, for the 2024 financial year, the payment of a gross dividend of €1.00 per share (or €0.85 net per share), applying the reduced withholding tax rate of 15%. This represents an equalling of the dividend paid for the 2023 financial year.

Care Property Invest intends to pay an unchanged gross dividend of at least €1.00 per share for the 2025 financial year, which equates to a net dividend of €0.85 per share.

The Company is pleased that its share has been included in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Index and the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Europe Index as of 21 June 2024 (after trading hours). These are the two most important investment indices for listed real estate, which are also considered global benchmarks for the sector.

The Care Property Invest share is included in the following indices on 31 December 2024:

4. Shareholding structure

The Company has no knowledge of any shareholders holding more than 5% of the voting rights, as no notifications have been received to this effect within the context of the transparency legislation.

On 13 June 2024, Ameriprise Financial Inc. notified the Company that as of 7 June 2024, it no longer exceeds the 3% threshold as a result of the disposal of securities conferring voting rights.

On 23 September 2024, 2 October 2024, 4 November 2024, 7 November 2024 and 27 March 2025, the Company received several transparency notifications from BlackRock Inc. announcing exceedances and fallings below the 3% threshold. The most recent statement, dated 27 March 2025, states that they exceed the 3% threshold as a result of the acquisition of additional securities conferring voting rights or voting rights.

Care Property Invest refers to its website www.carepropertyinvest.be for the publication of these transparency notifications.

Apart from these new reports from BlackRock Inc. and Ameriprise Financial Inc, the Company received no new notifications during the financial years 2024 and 2025 (up to the date of this report) regarding the exceeding or falling below the 3% threshold. The Company therefore has no knowledge of any other shareholder that would exceed the 3% threshold on the date of this report.

Care Property Invest's efforts in the 2023 financial year to apply the EPRA standards as completely as possible in its yearly and half-yearly financial reports have been rewarded for the eighth consecutive time in September 2024 with an EPRA BPR Gold Award at the annual EPRA conference. The Company is committed to continually improve the transparency and quality of the financial reporting and also wants to earn this recognition in the coming financial years.

In addition, EPRA also publishes principles regarding sustainability reporting and sustainability performance measures, the EPRA Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations ('EPRA sBPR'). The Company has already been publishing a sustainability report since the 2020 financial year (2019 activities), applying the sBPR. Care Property Invest was also awarded an EPRA sBPR Gold Award for its sustainability report in September 2024 and did so for the third consecutive time. The Company is pleased with this recognition of the efforts made in the field of sustainability reporting and intends to continue to make progress in this area in the future.

VI. EPRA

1.1 The EPRA-index

The EPRA index is used worldwide as a benchmark and is the most used investment index to compare performances of listed real estate companies and REITS.

Per 31 December 2024, the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Europe Index is composed on the basis of a group of 103 companies with a combined market capitalisation of more than €245 billion (full market capitalisation). The Company is pleased to report that its share has been listed in this index since 21 June 2024 (after trading hours).

1.2 EPRA key performance indicators: overview

The EPRA indicators below are considered to be the Company's APMs, which are recommended by the European Association of listed real estate companies (EPRA) and which have been drawn up in accordance with the APM guidelines issued by ESMA.

The information in this chapter is not compulsory according to the RREC legislation and is not subject to review by the FSMA. The statutory auditor has verified for the EPRA indicators, by means of a limited review, that these data have been calculated in accordance with the definitions of the EPRA Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines and that the financial data used correspond to the figures included in the audited consolidated financial statements.

1.2.7 Property Portfolio - Like-For-Like Net Rental Income

The like-for-like net rental income compares the net rental income of the portfolio (including capital repayments and rental discounts) coming from the projects that were kept in operation during 2 consecutive years and were therefore not under development. Information regarding the growth of the net rental income, other than through acquisitions or disposals, allows the stakeholders to estimate the organic growth of the portfolio.

The fair value of the like-for-like portfolio used for the comparison below is €1,078.7 million as at 31 December 2024 compared to €1,100.1 million as at 31 December 2023. The decrease in the fair value of the unchanged portfolio can be attributed to the decrease in the fair value of the finance leases (€16.9 million) and to the decrease in the fair value of the investment property (€4.5 million).

The change in net rental income with an unchanged portfolio as at 31 December 2024 compared to the same period last year can be mainly explained by the indexation of the existing leases, which was passed on in full and amounts to an average of 1.62% over the 2024 financial year, which comes down to an amount of €1.0 million.

Note 2: Accounting policies

T 2.1 Declaration of conformity

These standards cover all new and revised standards and interpretations published by the 'International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)' and the 'International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)', in as far as applicable to the activities of the group.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, unless stated otherwise, and cover the twelvemonth period ending on 31 December 2024.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for those assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value, i.e., investment properties and financial assets and liabilities.

Standards and interpretations applicable for the financial year commencing on 1 January 2024

The following new standards, new amendments and new interpretations are applicable to the Company for the first

  • time in 2024: Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Short-Term or Long-Term Liabilities, effective (the 2020 and 2022 amendments) as of 1 January 2024

New or amended standards and interpretations that have not yet entered into force

The new and amended standards and interpretations that were issued but not yet effective at the date of publication of the Company's consolidated financial statements are set out below.

The Company intends to apply these standards when applicable, if they have an impact on the Company: • Amendments to IAS 21

  • The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability, effective 1 January 2025
  • Amendments to Amendments to IFRS 9 Classification and valuation requirements and IFRS 7 Notes, effective as of 1 January 2026

  • IFRS 18 Presentation and Notes to Financial Statements, effective as of 1 January 2027
  • IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Notes, effective as of 1 January 2027

T 2.2 Consolidation principles

The companies included in the Company's consolidated financial statements are subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. A company exerts control over a subsidiary if, and only if, the parent company:

• has power over the participating interest;

• is exposed to and has rights to variable proceeds based on its involvement in the participating

interest and;

• has the possibility of using its power over the participating interest to influence the scale of the investor's

yields.

The companies in which the group directly or indirectly holds participating interests of more than 50% or in which it has the power to determine the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group in full. This means that the assets, liabilities and results of the entire group are fully reflected. Intercompany transactions and profits are entirely eliminated. All transactions between the group companies, balances and unrealised profits and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The minority interests are the interests in the subsidiaries that are not held directly or indirectly by the group. See also Note 'T 5.35 Information on subsidiaries' on

page 315.

T 2.3 Intangible fixed assets

The intangible fixed assets are capitalised at their acquisition value and depreciated according to the linear method at an annual percentage of 20%.

T 2.4 Investment properties General

Real estate (land and buildings) acquired for valuable consideration or through a contribution in kind for the issue of new shares or via a merger through the acquisition of a real estate company or via a partial split, which is held in order to generate rental income in the long term, and which does not serve for personal use, is shown as investment property.

Valuation on initial recognition

On initial recognition, investment properties are shown at acquisition cost, including transaction costs and directly attributable expenditure.

For differences in value between the purchase price and the initial valuation at fair value at the time of recognition (acquisition), the value difference relating to transfer taxes and transfer costs is included through the global result statement.

Valuation after initial recognition After initial recognition, investment properties are shown at fair value, in accordance with IAS 40. The fair value is equal to the amount for which the building could be exchanged between well-informed parties, consenting and acting in circumstances of normal competition. From the seller's point of view, the valuation must be understood as subject to the deduction of registration fees.

The independent real estate experts who carry out the periodic valuation of the assets of regulated real estate companies believe that, for transactions involving buildings in Belgium with an overall value

of less than €2.5 million, account must be taken of registration fees of 12% (Flemish Region) to 12.5% (Brussels Capital Region and Walloon Region), depending on the regions where these assets are located. For transactions concerning properties with an overall value of more than €2.5 million, real estate experts have valued the weighted average of the fees at 2.5%. This is because a range of different property transfer methods is used in Belgium. This percentage will, if necessary, be revised annually and adjusted per bracket of 0.5%. The experts will confirm the agreed percentage to be deducted in their periodic reports to the shareholders. For real estate in The Netherlands this percentage is 10.9%, in Ireland it is 9.96%, while for Spain it is determined regionally.

Profits or losses arising from the change in the fair value of investment properties are included in the global result statement in section 'XVIII. Changes in the fair value of investment properties' in the period in which they arise, and in the profit appropriation in the following year they are allocated to the reserve 'b) Reserve for the balance of changes in the fair value of real estate' and 'c) reserve for the impact on the fair value of estimated mutation rights and costs on hypothetical disposal of investment properties', where the latter item always corresponds to the difference between the investment value of the property and the fair value of the property.

Disposal of investment property

On the sale of an investment property, the profits or losses realised on the sale are shown in section 'XVI. Result sale of investment properties' in the global result statement for the period under review. Commission paid to brokers on the sale of buildings and liabilities contracted as a result of transactions are deducted from the sale price obtained in order to determine the realised profit or loss.

The realised gain or loss on disposal consists of the difference between the net sale value and the latest book value (fair value on the latest valuation), as well as the counter-entry of the estimated transfer taxes that are taken directly to the equity on the balance sheet on the initial assessment of the fair value.

As the real estate is sold, both reserve 'b) Reserve for the balance of changes in the fair value of real estate' and reserve 'c) Reserve for the impact on the fair value of estimated transfer taxes and costs resulting from hypothetical disposal of investment properties' relating to the sold property are transferred to the disposable reserves.

Project developments

  • Sites held with a view to an increase in value in the long term instead of sale in the short term in relation to normal business operations;
  • Sites held for future use that has not yet been determined;

• Unoccupied buildings held for leasing on the basis of one or more operational leases and;

• Real estate under construction or in development for future use as investment property must also be treated as investment property and is shown in the 'Project development' sub-section.

After the initial recognition, projects are shown at their fair value. This fair value takes account of the substantial development risks. The following criteria must be met in this regard: • There is a clear picture of the project

-

costs to be incurred;

• All necessary permits for the project development have been obtained;

• A substantial part of the project development has been pre-let (final signature of rental contract);

This valuation at fair value is based on the valuation by the independent real estate expert (in accordance with the customary methods and assumptions) and takes account of the costs still to be incurred for the full finishing of the project.

All costs relating directly to the acquisition or development and all further investment expenditure are included in the cost price of the development project. In accordance with IAS 23, the financing costs directly attributable to the construction or acquisition of an investment property are capitalised for the period for making the investment property ready for letting.

The capitalisation of financing costs as part of the cost price of an asset qualifying for this takes place only if:

  • Expenditure is made for the asset;
  • Financing costs are incurred and;
  • Activities are in progress to prepare the asset for its envisaged use. These include not only the physical construction but also technical and administrative work for the commencement of the actual construction in connection with the acquisition of permits.

The capitalisation of financing costs is suspended during long periods in which the active development is interrupted. The capitalisation is not suspended during a period in which extensive technical and administrative work is performed.

Rights in rem

Lease agreements with a term longer than 12 months and for which the underlying asset has a high value must be classified by means of a right of use on the asset in accordance with IFRS 16. On the starting date, the asset corresponding to a right of use is valued at cost price. After the starting date, the asset is valued on the basis of the fair value model in accordance with IAS 40.

T 2.5 Other fixed assets

T 2.5.1 Tangible fixed assets for own use

General

Assets that are held for the Company's own use in the production or delivery of goods or services, for rental to third parties or for administrative purposes and which are expected to be used for longer than a single period, are shown as tangible fixed assets, in accordance with IAS 16.

Valuation on initial recognition

Property, plant and equipment must be shown at cost if it is probable that the future economic benefits from the asset will accrue to the Company and if the cost of the asset can be determined reliably.

The cost price of an asset is the equivalent of the discounted price on the recognition date (the cost price) and all directly attributable costs for making the asset ready for use. Later costs for day-to-day maintenance of tangible fixed assets are not included in the book value of the asset. This expenditure is shown in the income statement at the time at which it is incurred. Future expenditure for maintenance and repairs is capitalised only if this can be clearly shown to result in an increase in the future economic benefits from the use of the asset.

Valuation after initial recognition

All tangible fixed assets are shown at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

The different categories of tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straightline method of depreciation over the estimated service life of the asset. The residual value and the service life must be reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. An asset is depreciated from the date on which it is ready for the envisaged use. Depreciation of an asset is discontinued on the date on which the asset is held for sale or is no longer used.

Depreciation takes place even if the fair value of the asset exceeds its book value, until the residual value is reached. From the date on which the residual value is equal to or higher than the book value, the depreciation cost is zero, until such time as the residual value is again less than the book value of the asset.

Tangible fixed assets for the Company's own use are depreciated in accordance with the following depreciation rates according to the straight-line method:

Building (for the Company's own use)

3.33%

Equipment of building 10%
Furniture 10%
Computers 33.33%
Office machinery 25%
Rolling stock 20%

Office fittings and furnishings 10%

Disposal of property, plant and equipment At the time when an asset is disposed of or at the time when no future economic benefits are expected any longer from the use or disposal of an asset, the property, plant or equipment can no longer be shown in the balance sheet of the Company.

The gain or loss arising through the disposal or retirement of an asset is the difference between any net proceeds on disposal and the book value of the asset. This capital gain or loss is shown in the global result

statement.

.5.2

T 2.5.2 Other tangible fixed assets - development costs for projects in preparation/ under construction, which are subsequently recorded as a finance lease (IFRS 16).

The construction costs for projects in preparation and projects under construction are shown at the cost price (nominal value) in the other operating expenses and are capitalised via the other operating revenues in other tangible fixed assets. On provisional acceptance of the building, the leasing activities commence, and the amount of the net investment is classified in the balance sheet item 'I.F. Finance lease receivables'.

IFRS 16 requires that a lease receivable is valued on commencement at the discounted value of the future income flows. The difference between the construction costs and this discounted value is then the result of the development of the leased object. This must be recognised in the result in proportion to the construction period as the result of the construction activities in 'Other operational revenues/costs'.

T 2.6 Impairments

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are indications that a non-financial asset may be subject to impairment. If any such indication exists, an estimate is made of the realisable value of the asset. If an asset's book value exceeds its realisable value, an impairment is recognised in order to reduce the book value of the asset to the realisable amount. The realisable value of an asset is defined as the higher of the fair value less selling costs (assuming a non-forced sale) or the value in use (based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows). The resulting impairments are charged to the global result statement. Previously recognised impairments are reversed via the global result statement if a change has occurred in the estimate used to determine the realisable value of the asset since the recognition of the last impairment loss.

T 2.7 Financial fixed assets

The financial assets are classified in one of the categories provided for according to IFRS 9 'Financial instruments: recognition and valuation', depending on the purpose for which the financial asset is acquired, which are determined on their initial recognition of the assets. This classification determines the valuation of the financial asset on future balance sheet dates: at the amortised cost price or based on the equity method (in accordance with IAS 28).

Financial instruments

Derivative products or financial interest rate derivatives (including Interest Rate Swaps) can be used for hedging interest rate risks arising from operational, financial and investment activities. The derivative financial instruments which the Company uses do not meet the criteria of IFRS 9 for the application of hedge accounting, are not held for trading purposes and are not acquired for sale in the near future. They are included in the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in their fair value are taken directly to the global result statement.

The fair value of financial instruments is based on the market value calculations of the counterparty and the respective fair values are regarded as 'Level 2', as defined under IFRS 13 (see also note 'T 5.11 Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities' on page 296).

The fair value of the hedging instruments is the estimated amount of the fees that the Company must pay or should receive in order to settle its positions on the balance sheet date, taking account of the interest curve, the creditworthiness of the counterparties and any option value applying at that time. The fair value of hedging instruments is estimated monthly by the issuing financial institution. In accordance with IFRS 13, an adjustment is made to the fair value to reflect the counterparty's own credit risk ('Debt Valuation Adjustment' or 'DVA') and the counterparty's credit rating ('Credit Valuation Adjustment' or 'CVA').

Participating interests

The acquisitions of the shares of subsidiaries of Care Property Invest take place in the context of an 'asset deal' to which IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' does not apply. The participating interests are valued based on the equity method (in accordance with IAS 28).

Other financial fixed assets

Loans and receivables (including guarantees) are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not listed in an active market and are valued at the amortised cost price.

T 2.8 Finance lease receivables & trade receivables

Care Property Invest as lessor

A lease contract is classified as a financial lease if it transfers virtually all the risks and benefits associated with ownership to the lessee. All other forms of lease are treated as operational leases. If a lease contract complies with the terms of a financial lease (according to International Accounting Standards IFRS 16), Care Property Invest, as the lessor-owner, recognises the lease agreement at its inception on the balance sheet as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease agreement. The difference between the latter amount and the book value of the leased property will be recognised in the global result statement for the period.

Any periodic payment made by the lessee will be recognised as income under rental income in the global result statement (see 'T 5.3 Rental income' on page 292) and/or as a repayment of the investments in the balance sheet (see 'T 5.17 Finance lease receivables and trade receivables and other noncurrent assets' on page 304), based on a constant periodic return for Care Property Invest.

The item 'I.F. Finance lease receivables 'shows the investment cost of the transferred projects and therefore assigned in leasehold, less the contractual prepayments received, and reimbursements already made.

Care Property Invest as lessee

At the start of the lease period, lease agreements (with the exception of lease agreements with a maximum term of 12 months and lease agreements in which the underlying asset has a low value) are included in the balance sheet as asset (right of use) and lease obligation at the present value of the future lease payments. Subsequently, all rights of use, which classify as investment properties, are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. We refer to 'T 2.4 Investment properties' on page 266 for the accounting policies relating to investment properties. Minimum lease payments are included partly as financing costs and partly as repayments of the outstanding liability in such a way that this results in a constant periodic interest rate for the remaining balance of the

liability.

Financial charges are included directly in the global result statement.

Trade receivables

The item 'I.G. Trade receivable and other fixed assets' regarding the projects included in the finance leases contains the profit or loss margin allocated to the construction phase of a project. The profit or loss margin is the difference between the nominal value of the fee due at the end of the right of superficie (included in the item 'I.F. Finance lease receivables') and the fair value at the time of provision, determined by discounting the future cash flows (being the leasehold and rental fees and the fee due at the end of the right of superficie) at a rate equal to the IRS rate plus a margin that would apply on the date on which the lease contract was contracted. The increase by a margin depends on the margin that the Company pays the bank as a cost of funding. For the bank, the margin depends on the underlying surety and is therefore different for a PCSW or a non-profit association. This item also contains a provision for discounted costs of service provision, as the Company remains involved in the maintenance of the property following delivery of the building, in connection with advice or intervention in the event of any construction damage or adjustments imposed, following up lease payments, etc.

During the term of the contract, the receivable is phased out, as the added value and provision for costs of services is written down each year and is charged to the global result statement in 'Other operating income and expenses'.

If the discount rate (i.e., the IRS interest rate plus a margin) on the date of the contracting of the lease agreement is higher or virtually equal to the interest rate implicit in the leasehold payments stipulated on commencement of the leasehold, this calculation leads to the recognition of a mathematical loss during the construction phase (e.g., in the event of falling interest rates). Over the entire duration of the contract, however, the projects are profitable, since the leasehold payment is always higher than the actual cost of financing.

There is an estimation uncertainty as regards the profit margin on the projects; this is partly due to altered operating expenses, the impact of which is reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary, but the profit or loss margin also depends on rising or falling interest rates.

T 2.9 Current assets

Trade receivable and other receivables at a maximum of one year

Receivables at a maximum of one year are shown at their nominal value less impairments due to doubtful or irrecoverable receivables, which are recognised as impairment losses in the global result statement.

Tax receivables

Tax receivables are shown at the tax rate applying in the period to which they relate.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents (bank accounts, cash and short-term investments) are shown at the amortised cost price. The

additional costs are processed directly in the global result statement.

Accruals and deferrals

The costs incurred during the financial year that are wholly or partially

attributable to the following financial year are shown in accruals and deferrals on the basis of a proportionality rule. The income and fractions of income received in the course of one or more subsequent financial years, but relating to the financial year concerned, are entered for the amount relating to the financial year in question.

T 2.10 Equity

Equity instruments issued by the Company are shown at the amount of the sums received (after deduction of directly attributable issuing costs).

The treasury shares in the Company's possession, if any, are deducted from equity at the initial acquisition cost. The increase and/or decrease in value realised on the sale of treasury shares is recognised directly as equity and has no impact on the adjusted EPRA earnings.

Dividends form part of the transferred result and are recognised as a liability only in the period in which they are

formally awarded, i.e., approved by the general meeting of shareholders.

T 2.11 Provisions

-

A provision is formed when:

• the Company has an existing liability -legally enforceable or actual - as a result of an incident in the past;

• it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required in order to settle the liability and;

• the amount of the liability can be reliably estimated.

The amount of the provision is based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the existing obligation as at the balance sheet date, taking account of the risks and uncertainties associated with the liability. If the effect of the time value of money is significant, provisions are discounted using a discount rate that takes account of the current market assessments of the time value of money and the inherent risks of

the liability.

T 2.12 Financial liabilities

Financial payables and trade debts Financial payables at the amortised cost price, including debts, are initially valued at fair value, net of transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are valued at the amortised cost price. The group's financial payables are shown in 'Other current liabilities' at the amortised cost price, comprising non-current financial liabilities, other non-current liabilities,

current financial liabilities, trade debts and dividends payable.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative products or financial interest rate derivatives (including Interest Rate Swaps) can be used for hedging interest rate risks arising from operational, financial and investment activities. The derivative financial instruments which the Company uses do not meet the criteria of IFRS 9 for the application of hedge accounting, are not held for trading purposes and are not acquired for sale in the near future. They are included in the balance sheet at their fair value and changes in their fair value are taken directly to the global result statement.

The fair value of financial instruments is based on the market value calculations of the counterparty and the respective fair values are regarded as 'Level 2', as defined under IFRS 13 (see also the notes to 'T 5.11 Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities' on page 296.

The fair value of the hedging instruments is the estimated amount of the fees that the Company must pay or shall receive in order to settle its positions on the balance sheet date, taking account of the interest curve, the creditworthiness of the counterparties and any option value applying at that time. The fair value of hedging instruments is estimated on a monthly basis by the issuing financial institutions. In accordance with IFRS 13, an adjustment is made to the fair value to reflect the counterparty's own credit

risk ('Debt Valuation Adjustment' or 'DVA') and the counterparty's credit rating ('Credit Valuation Adjustment' or 'CVA').

Lease liabilities

Lease agreements with a term longer than 12 months and for which the underlying asset has a high value must be recognised by way of a lease payment on the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS 16. The lease payment is equal to the current value of the lease payments outstanding on the reporting date.

Tax liabilities

Tax liabilities are shown at the tax rate applying in the period to which they relate.

Accruals and deferrals

The costs incurred during the following financial year that relate wholly or partially to the financial year concerned are shown in the current financial year as attributable costs for the amount relating to the financial year concerned. Income received during the financial year that is wholly or partially attributable to the following financial year is shown in accruals and deferrals on the basis of a proportionality rule.

T 2.13 Staff remuneration

The contracts Care Property Invest has concluded in relation to group insurance are of the 'defined contribution' type. This defined contribution pension plan has been entrusted to Belfius Bank. These pension plans are regarded as 'defined contribution' plans with fixed costs for the employer and are shown under 'group insurance contributions'. Employees make no personal contribution. Premiums are recognised in the financial year in which they were paid or scheduled. However, under

Up to and including the 2024 financial year, Belfius Bank confirmed that the minimum return, including the profit share, was achieved. Moreover, the impact on the Company's results would be limited, since it has only a small number of employees.

T 2.14 Income and expenses Rental income

the 'Vandenbroucke Law' these group insurance policies would be regarded as 'defined benefit' plans within the meaning of IAS 19, and the Company would be required to guarantee an average minimum rate of return of 1.75% (as at 31 December 2024) on the employer's contributions. In principle, the Company would have additional obligations if the statutory minimum return could not be achieved. As of 1 January 2025, this average minimum return is 2.50%. relate. Real estate costs In view of the triple net nature(1) of the contracts, the Company is not liable for the costs of maintenance and repair, utilities, insurance and taxes for the building. With double net contracts, the Company does bear the risk of the maintenance and repair costs. With single net contracts, in addition to maintenance and repair costs, the lessor also bears the vacancy risk.

The net rental result comprises the rents, operational lease instalments and other related income, less the costs associated with leases, such as the costs of voids, rent benefits and impairments of trade receivables.

The rent benefits consist of temporary rental discounts or rent-free periods for the operator of the property.

Revenues are shown at the fair value of the fee received or to which rights were acquired and are shown on a proportional basis in the global result

statement in the period to which they

General expenses and other operating income and expenses

The Company's general expenses cover the fixed operating costs of Care Property Invest, which is active as a listed company and enjoys RREC status.

Revenues and costs are shown on a proportional basis in the global result

statement in the period to which they relate.

T 2.15 Taxes

Corporate tax

Corporate income taxes represent the estimated tax payable on the taxable income for the year, calculated using the tax rate applicable on the closing date, as well as adjustments to tax liabilities relating to previous years. These are booked directly in the result, except when they relate to items that were booked

directly in equity. In this case, tax is also booked directly in equity.

The status of a RREC provides for a fiscally transparent status, as RRECs are only still liable to corporate income tax for specific elements of the result, such as rejected expenditure, abnormal and benevolent benefits and secret commissions. Generally, rental income, financial income and the gain realised on the disposal of assets are exempt from tax.

The Dutch subsidiaries (with the exception of Care Property Invest.NL10 BV (FBI status not yet formally confirmed) and Care Property Invest.NL11 BV) all hold the FBI status, which is still applicable for the 2024 financial year but will no longer be applicable as of 1 January 2025 due to the amended legislation, making the result taxable at a rate of 0%. The Spanish subsidiary acquired the SOCIMI status in 2022, also making it subject to a 0% tax rate. The Irish subsidiaries do not make use of a favourable tax regime and are therefore all regular tax payers.

Deferred tax receivables and liabilities are included in the result statement for all deferred capital losses and gains (the temporary difference between the fair value and the fiscal value of the real estate).

Exit tax

The exit tax is a tax on the added value determined on a taxed merger, split or equated transaction of a RREC with a Belgian company that is not a RREC.

If this company is included in the consolidated group statements for the first time, the exit tax is charged to the equity of that company. If the company is not immediately merged with the RREC, adjustments to the exit tax liabilities that would prove to be necessary at the time of the merger in relation to the amount

provided for are recognised in the global result statement.

The exit tax rate as at 31 December 2024

was 15%.

The exit tax is calculated on the basis of the deferred added value and the exempted reserves of the real estate company that makes the contribution through a merger, split or equated action. The deferred added value is the positive difference between the actual fiscal value of the equity of the relevant real estate company (that has been split off) less the previously assumed fiscal depreciation, amortisation and impairments. Existing tax deferrals (deductible losses, transferred notional interest deductions, etc.) can be deducted from the taxable base. The actual fiscal value is the value with costs paid by the buyer, i.e., after deduction of registration rights or VAT, and may differ from the fair value of the real estate shown in the RREC's balance sheet in accordance with IAS 40.

Note 3: Segment information

In accordance with IFRS 8, the Company makes a distinction between the 4 geographical segments in which it operates: Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland.

In addition, the Company also makes a distinction between the investment properties on the one hand and the finance leases on the other, as a result of which it also prepares segment reporting per business model.

The segmented information has been prepared taking into account the operating segments and the information used internally to take decisions. The operating results are regularly assessed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (senior officers of the Company) or CODM in order to take decisions regarding the distribution of available resources and to determine the performance of the segment. Within Care Property Invest nv the Executive Committee acts as CODM.

For the accounting policies we refer to Note 2: Accounting policies. Every group of companies under a joint control is considered to be the same customer. The revenue from transactions with these customers must be stated if it exceeds 10% of the turnover. For Care Property Invest nv, for the 2024 financial year, this concerns the following customers:

  • Colisée with a share of 13.48% of the total revenue spread over 7 properties in Belgium;
  • Vulpia with a share of 10.70% of the total revenue spread over 8 buildings in Belgium.

The segmented information includes the results, assets and liabilities that can be attributed to a specific segment either directly or on a reasonable basis.

For the allocation of 'General expenses of the Company' and 'Other operating income and expenses', for those expenses and income that cannot be allocated exclusively, an allocation key based on the number of projects within each business model was used. For both financial years, the portfolio of 150 projects consists of 79 finance leases and 71 investment properties.

The profit or loss margin attributed to the period which is adjusted to reach the EBITDA concerns the amortisation of capital gains and provision for service costs. For further explanation, please refer to ''T 2.8 Finance lease receivables & trade receivables' on page 271.

The list of risks described in this chapter is not exhaustive. Within the framework of the Prospectus Regulation, the Company has limited itself to the financial risks that apply specifically to it and therefore not to the overall real estate sector, RREC sector or all listed companies and those that are also material. The market risks, operational risks, regulatory risks and other risks were described in chapter 'I. Risk factors' on page 24 et seq. of the annual report.

T 4.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to non-compliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters

T 4.1.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk of noncompliance with statutory or contractual requirements to comply with certain financial parameters under the credit agreements, which could lead to their cancellation or renegotiation.

The main covenants cover the following:

A maximum debt ratio of 60%.

As at 31 December 2024, the consolidated debt ratio of the Company was 47.73%, resulting in an available space of €369.8 million. The limitation of the debt ratio to 60% is included in the credit agreements for a total amount of €518,812,573 (of which, as at 31 December 2024, an amount of €379,812,573 was drawn or 67.1% of the total financial debts drawn). For more information on the debt ratio, reference is made to 'T 4.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio' on page 286.

An interest coverage ratio (being the operating result before the result on the portfolio, divided by the interest charges paid) of at least 2.5.

As at 31 December 2024 the interest coverage ratio was 3.22 compared to 3.44 as at 31 December 2023. The Company's interest charges must increase by €5,187,618 or from €18,090,404 to €23,278,022 in order to reach the required minimum of 2.5. However, severe and abrupt pressure on the operating result could jeopardise compliance with the interest coverage ratio parameter. The operating result before result on portfolio must fall by 22.3% from €58,195,055 to €45,226,009 before the limit of 2.5 is reached.

• A minimum consolidated portfolio size of €650 million.

In addition, the risk of early termination exists in the event of a change of control of the Company, in the event of a breach of 'negative pledge' or other covenants and obligations of the Company and, more generally, in the event of default as defined in these financing agreements. A default (it should be noted that certain instances of 'default' or breach of covenants, such as a change of control, included in all financing agreements, are outside the control of the Company) under one financing agreement may, pursuant to so-called 'cross acceleration' or 'cross default' provisions, additionally lead to defaults under other financing agreements (irrespective of the grant of any 'waivers' by other credit providers, in the case of a 'cross default' provision) and may thus lead to the mandatory early repayment by the Company of all such lines of credit.

T 4.1.2 Potential impact for the company

The potential impact concerns any cancellation of loans and damaged trust between investors and bankers on non-compliance with contractual covenants. It is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for the activities of the Company.

The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios, are not met. This could lead to liquidity problems, in view of the similar character in the covenants of the financial institutions of the maximum debt ratio or interest coverage ratio of a cumulative nature and could force the Company to liquidate fixed assets (e.g., sale of real estate) or to implement a capital increase or other measures in order to bring the debt level below the required threshold. There is also a possibility that the regulator will impose sanctions or tighter supervision in the event of failure to comply with certain statutory financial parameters (e.g., compliance with the statutory debt ratio, as laid down in Article 13 of the RREC RD).

The consequences for the shareholders could include (i) a reduction in the equity and, therefore, the net asset value (NAV), because a sale must take place at a price below that book value and (ii) a dilution can take place because a capital increase will have to be organised and this will have an impact on the value of the shares and the future dividend prospects.

The Company intrinsically estimates the probability of this risk factor as average. The impact of the intrinsic risk is estimated as average to high.

T 4.1.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

To mitigate these risks, the Company pursues a prudent financial policy with constant monitoring to meet the financial parameters of the

covenants. of impact.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk and its control as described above, as average in terms of probability and average to high in terms

T 4.2 Risks associated with the evolution of the debt ratio

T 4.2.1 Description of the risk

The Company's borrowing capacity is limited by the statutory maximum debt ratio of 65% which is permitted by the RREC Law. At the same time, thresholds have been set in the financing contracts concluded with financial institutions. The maximum debt ratio imposed by the financial institutions is 60% (see also 'T 4.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to noncompliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters' on page 284).

The Company runs the risk of the termination, renegotiation or cancellation of financing agreements or that these contain an obligation to make early repayment if certain undertakings, such as compliance with financial ratios included in covenants, are not met. On exceeding the statutory maximum threshold of 65%, the Company runs the risk of losing its RREC certificate through withdrawal by the FSMA.

In general, it is possible that the Company would no longer be able to raise the external financing necessary for its growth strategy on favourable terms or that the market conditions are of a nature that necessary external financing can no longer be found for activities of the Company.

As at 31 December 2024, the consolidated debt ratio amounted to 47.73%, compared to 46.65% as at 31 December 2023. As at 31 December 2024, the Company has an additional debt capacity of €594.8 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65% and of €369.8 million before reaching a debt ratio of 60%.

The value of the real estate portfolio also has an impact on the debt ratio.

Taking account of the capital base as at 31 December 2024, the maximum debt ratio of 65% would be exceeded only with a potential fall in the value of the real estate portfolio of about €320.0 million, or 31.5% of the real estate portfolio of €1,015.3 million as at 31 December 2024. With a fall in the value of about €246.5 million, or 24.3% of the real estate portfolio, the debt ratio of 60% would be exceeded.

The Company does wish to note that it has contracted payment obligations for the unrealised part of the developments that it has already included in its balance sheet, representing €2.5 million. It has also entered into agreements whereby projects acquired under suspensory conditions, have been effectively acquired, totaling an amounting to €10.1 million. As a result, as at 31 December 2024, the available capacity on the debt ratio amounts to €357.2 million before reaching a debt ratio of 60% and €582.2 million before reaching a debt ratio of 65%.

T 4.2.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns the risk that statutory sanctions may be imposed if certain thresholds are exceeded (including a prohibition of payment of a dividend) or that a breach of certain conditions of the financing contracts is committed.

Like all public RRECS, Care Property Invest is subject to tighter supervision by the supervisory authority of compliance with these maximum debt levels.

The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low and the impact of the intrinsic risk as high.

T 4.2.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

In this case too, it pursues a prudent financial policy with continual monitoring of all planned investments and earnings forecasts, and the coordination of the possibility of a capital increase under the forms permitted by the RREC legislation in order to avoid any statutory sanctions for exceeding this maximum limit at all times.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the limiting factors of the risk as described above, related to the risk of the debt ratio exceeding 60% as low in terms of probability and high in terms of impact.

T 4.3 Risks associated with the cost of the capital

T 4.3.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk of unfavourable fluctuations in interest rates, an increased risk premium in the stock markets and/or an increase in the cost of the debts.

T 4.3.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns a material increase in the weighted average cost of the Company's capital (equity and debts) and an impact on the profitability of the business as a whole and of new

investments.

As at 31 December 2024, the fixedinterest and floating rate loans accounted for 19.04% and 80.96% of the total financial liabilities respectively. The percentage of floating-rate debt contracted that was converted into a fixed-rate instrument through a derivative instrument (relative to total financial liabilities) amounted to 66.33% as at 31 December 2024. The total hedge ratio thus amounted to 85.37%. As at 31 December 2023, it amounted to 94.32%.

Based on the outstanding credits as at 31 December 2024, if interest rates were to increase by 1%, the weighted average interest cost on closing date, including interest rate swaps, would increase from 3.32% to 3.46%. This would result in an increase in the cost of capital of 0.07%, assuming the cost of debt is included for 50% in the cost of capital and assuming no change in the cost of equity.

A change in the interest curve of 1% (upward) would have an impact on the fair value of the credit portfolio of approximately €5.0 million. The conclusion relating to the impact of the change in the interest curve can be continued on a linear basis.

A 1% increase/decrease in interest rates would have a positive/negative impact on the global result statement via the variations in the fair value of financial assets/liabilities amounting to €0.622/ €-0.672 per share but a negative/positive impact on the distributable result and also on the global result due to the increase/ decrease of a part of the net interest costs exposed to the fluctuations in interest rates.

The increase in the required risk premium on the stock markets could result in a fall in the price of the share and make financing of new acquisitions more costly for the Company.

The Company intrinsically assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact of this risk as average.

T 4.3.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

With regard to the initial portfolio, Care Property Invest protects itself against interest rate rises through the use of fixed-interest contracts or swaps. For the initial portfolio(1), only the renewable loans at Belfius, amounting to €6,9 million, are subject to a limited interest risk, as these loans are subject to review every three years. For the new portfolio(2), the outstanding commercial paper of €84.0 million and various roll-over credits and term loans with variable interest rates with various financial institutions with an outstanding amount of €338.2 million as at 31 December 2024 are subject to changes in interest rates on the financial markets. Care Property Invest aims to hedge itself against fixed interest rates for at least 80%. In this way the Company wishes to anticipate the risk that the increase in interest rates will be primarily attributable to an increase in real interest rates.

  • (1) The initial portfolio relates to the finance leases (with as at 31/12/2024 a balance sheet value (finance lease receivables) of €156,518,610 and a generated rental flow of €17,162,009) that the Company entered into until 2014.
  • (2) The new portfolio as referred to here refers to the finance leases (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2024 of €9,921,081 and a generated rental flow of €493,950) and the investment properties, (with a balance sheet value as at 31/12/2024 of €1,015,281,986 and a generated rental flow of €51,957,634), that the Company acquired after 2014.

There are also 8 loans with revisable interest for the new portfolio, of which the total outstanding amount was €2.3 million as of 31 December 2024. Care Property Invest monitors movements in interest rates with close attention and will hedge itself timely against any excessively high increase in interest rates.

Further explanation on the credit lines are provided in this chapter in item 'T 5.9 Net interest charges' on page 296, 'T 5.27 Financial liabilities' on page 310 and 'T 5.16 Financial fixed assets and other non-current financial liabilities' on page 302. If the increase in interest rates results from an increase in the level of inflation, the indexation of the rental income also serves as a tempering factor, albeit only after the indexation of the lease agreements can be implemented, so that there is a delaying effect here.

In general, Care Property Invest aims to build up a relationship of trust with its bank partners and investors and maintains a continual dialogue with them in order to develop a solid long-term relationship.

Nevertheless, the Company continues to regard this risk as material.

T 4.4 Risks associated with the use of derivative financial products

T 4.4.1 Description of the risk

This risk can be described as the risk of the use of derivatives to hedge the interest rate risk. The fair value of the derivative products is influenced by fluctuations in interest rates in the financial markets. The fair value of the derivative financial products amounted to €-176,988 as at 31 December 2024, compared to €4,002,391 as at 31 December 2023. The variation in their fair value amounted to €4,409,379 as at 31 December 2024.

T 4.4.2 Potential impact for the Company

The potential impact concerns the complexity and volatility of the fair value of the hedging instruments and consequently, also the net asset value (NAV), as published under the IFRS standards and also the counter-party risk in relation to partners with which we contract derivative financial products. The decrease in the fair value of the authorised hedging instruments amounting to €4,409,379 represents a decrease in the net result and in the net asset value (NAV) of €0.12, without having an impact on the adjusted EPRA Earnings and, therefore, the capacity of the Company to pay its proposed dividend. An increase in market interest rates by 1% results in an increase in the fair value of the derivative financial products amounting to €23,015,932 or €0.622 per share and an increase in the net asset value (NAV) also amounting to €0.622 per share.

A fall in market interest rates by 1% results in a diminution in the fair value amounting to €-24,872,666 or €-0.672 per share and a fall in the net asset value (NAV) per share amounting to the same amount.

The Company assesses the probability of this risk factor as well as the impact intrinsically as average.

T 4.4.3 Restrictive measures and management of the risk

All derivative financial products are held solely for hedging purposes. No speculative instruments are held. All derivative financial products are interest rate swaps. Care Property Invest also works only with reputable financial institutions (Belfius Bank, KBC Bank, BNP Paribas Fortis, ABN AMRO and ING).

The Company conducts frequent talks with these financial institutions on the evolution of the interest rates and the impact on the existing derivative financial products. The Company also monitors the relevant interest rates itself.

However, the current economic situation is causing increased volatility and pressure on interest rates so this monitoring becomes all the more important to counter volatility. In addition, it will not be certain that the Company will find the hedging instruments it wishes to enter into in the future, nor that the terms associated with the hedging instruments will be acceptable.

The Company estimates the residual risk, i.e. taking into account the mitigating factors and controlling the risk, as low in terms of probability and average in terms of impact

Both the weighted average number of outstanding shares and the number of shares amounted to 36,988,833 as at 31 December 2023 and as at 31 December 2024. At neither date did the Company hold any treasury shares.

The gross return is calculated in table 'T.5.1 Net result per share on a consolidated basis' by dividing the net result per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495) on the one hand and the market value on the closing date on the other hand. In table 'T.5.2 Components of the net result', the gross yield is calculated by dividing the adjusted EPRA earnings per share by the initial issue price in 1996 (i.e., €5.9495), on the one hand, and the market price on the closing date, on the other. The share price was €11.42 as at 31 December 2024 and €14.26 as at 31 December 2023. There are no instruments that have a potentially dilutive effect on the net result per share.

T 5.3 Rental income

Ground rent 17,655,959 17,816,568
TOTAL 69,613,592 65,905,564

The item 'Rental income and rental discounts for investment properties' concerns the income from I.C. Investment properties, accounted for in accordance with IAS 40. As at 31 December 2024, these represent 74.64% of the Company's total rental income.

The item 'Rental income from finance leases and similar' concerns the rental income from buildings, which the Company owns and which it receives as lessor and were recorded as rental income in the global result statement, as they relate to recurring income that the Company receives from its buildings(1). This rental income relates on the one hand to the portfolio built up until 2014 with local PCSWs (public centre for social welfare -local governments) and charitable non-profit organisations (initial portfolio(2)) and on the other hand to new leases entered into after 2014 (new portfolio(3)), all of which are generated by I.F. Finance lease receivables in the consolidated balance sheet. For the finance leases from the new portfolio, the ground rent payments are split between 'investment value' and 'income': the investment part is booked under I.F. Finance lease receivables in the balance sheet, the income part is booked under I. Rental income in the global result statement. As at 31 December 2024, the ground rent received by the Company from its finance leases represents 25.36% of the Company's total rental income.

The 5.63% increase in rental income is mainly explained by (i) the acquired and completed investment properties during the 2023 and 2024 financial years (€2.9 million) and (ii) the indexation of the pre-existing leases (unchanged portfolio) which was fully passed on and averages 1.62% as at 31 December 2024 (€1.0 million).

been adjusted.

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

TOTAL -11,637,320 -10,912,162

Costs relating to acquisitions are activated in accordance with IAS 40.

The Company's general expenses increased by €725,158 compared to 31 December 2023. The increase can be attributed to (i) increased management fees in connection with the reorganisation within the Board of Directors and the recruitment process of the new CEO (for additional details on the remuneration of the directors and the Board of Directors, please consult chapter 'III. Report of the Board of Directors' item '11.11 Remuneration report 2024' on page 110), (ii) an increase in the UCI tax following the growth of the Company, offset by (iii) a limited decrease in the remuneration and staff-related costs of the Company (in fact, the indexation as at 1 January 2024 was offset by the decrease in average workforce from 26.3 FTEs as at 31 December 2023 to 24.9 FTEs as at 31 December 2024) and (iv) a decrease in other general expenses mainly due to lower prospecting costs.

Care Property Invest has taken out a defined contribution type group insurance policy ('Defined Contribution Plan') for its permanent staff with Belfius Bank & Insurance. The contributions to this plan are entirely at the expense of Care Property Invest. In particular, no own contributions are paid by the employee. Belfius Bank has confirmed that as at 31 December 2024 the minimum return, including profit participation, has been achieved. In other words, no provision needs to be made.

Other operating income 817,398 205,303
TOTAL 232,306 -2,327,627

Other operating expenses mainly consist of the loss margin for the projects attributed to the period, which decreased sharply compared to 2023 due to the one-off write-off (non-cash) in 2023 of an outstanding trade receivable of a Belgian property (finance lease), after the Company was notified of the bankruptcy of the operator involved.

Other operating income consists of: (i) the project management fees, which relates to the recovery of the pre-financing costs of ongoing Dutch projects, (ii) profit margin (non-cash) for projects allocated to the period and (iii) other operating income. The latter includes a received compensation of €300,000 following a settlement agreement concluded with a project developer, as well as some compensation for delayed completion.

T 5.8 Changes in the fair value of investment properties Amounts in EUR 31/12/2024 31/12/2023

Positive variations in the fair value of investment properties 6,296,691 8,094,495 Negative variations in the fair value of investment properties -14,286,701 -33,891,349 TOTAL -7,990,010 -25,796,855

The real estate experts value the Company's investment properties on its balance sheet on a quarterly basis in accordance with IAS 40. An administrative correction was made for rent-free periods awarded to operators of the real estate, as the real estate expert already takes account of the future cash flows (including rent discounts) and double counting would otherwise occur.

Variations in fair value of investment properties remained relatively stable during the current financial year and, with an unchanged portfolio, experienced only a limited decrease of -0.64% or € -7,990,010 compared to the previous financial year. These are unrealised variations corrected in the adjusted EPRA earnings.

TOTAL -18,090,404 -15,295,746

Interest charges increased mainly due to (i) higher average market interest rates for the full financial year compared to 2023 and (ii) the maturity during the 2023 and 2024 financial years of some loans with favourable fixed interest rates. This therefore reflects in an increase of the weighted average interest rate over the period. This amounts to 3.22% as at 31 December 2024 compared to 2.90% as at 31 December 2023. However, this weighted average interest rate decreased compared to Q3 2024 when it amounted to 3.25% and this as a result of declining market interest rates.

The average remaining duration of the loans is 4.52 years as at 31 December 2024.

The costs and revenues of financial instruments used for hedging purposes are interest flows paid or received by the Company in relation to derivatives that are presented and analysed in the notes to the liabilities in item 'T 5.16 Financial fixed assets and other non-current financial liabilities' on page 302.

Also includes a reclassification from 'II.A Assets held for sale'.

Investment properties are recorded at fair value, using the fair value model, in accordance with the IAS 40 Standard. The fair value is supported by market data and is based on the valuation performed by an independent real estate expert with a relevant and recognised professional qualification who has recent experience in the location and nature of similar investment properties.

The portfolio was valued by Stadim, Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE as at 31 December 2024 for a fair value of €1.015.3 million (including the rights in rem which are also classified as investment properties in accordance with IFRS 16). The discount/ capitalisation rate applied to the contractual rents averages 6.24% for both 2024 and 2023.

Variations in the fair value of investment properties remained relatively stable during the current financial year. The (limited) negative variation in the valuation of investment properties, is mainly due to the upward pressure on yields, notwithstanding that the Company is still very successful in passing on inflation to its tenants.

The acquisitions and investments of the financial year are discussed in chapter 'II. Report of the Board of Directors' under '2.1 Important events during the 2024 financial year' on page 58. For further information on the development projects, we also refer to chapter 'IV. Real estate report', item '3.2 Table summarising the projects under development' on page 224.

The investment properties' rights in rem concern leasehold agreements of the Company that are capitalised under the investment properties in accordance with IFRS 16. A leasehold obligation is also linked to this on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.

The fair value is determined using unobservable inputs, as a result of which the assets within the investment properties are considered to be 'level 3' on the fair value scale defined by IFRS 13. During the 2023 financial year there were no shifts between levels 1, 2 and 3.

The main quantitative information on the valuation of the fair value of the investment properties based on unobservable data (level 3) and of those presented below are data from the reports of the independent real estate experts.

(2) For a description of the different evaluation methods, see chapter 'VIII Permanent document - item '1.11 Real estate expert' on page 340.

An occupancy rate of 100% is taken into account for the valuation of the buildings.

The differences between the minimum and maximum values are explained by the fact that the different parameters applied in the valuation methods depend on the location of the assets, the quality of the building and the operator, the duration of the lease agreement, etc. Moreover, these unobservable data may be linked because they are partly determined by market conditions.

In accordance with the legal provisions, the buildings are valued at fair value on a quarterly basis by independent real estate experts appointed by the Company. Their reports are based on information provided by the Company, such as contractual rents, tenancy contracts, investment budgets, etc. These data are derived from the Company's information system and are therefore subject to its internal control environment. Furthermore, the reports were based on assumptions and evaluation models developed by the independent experts based on their professional judgment and market knowledge.

The reports of the independent experts are checked by the Company's Executive Committee. If the Committee takes the view that the reports of the independent expert are coherent, they are submitted to the Board of Directors.

The sensitivity of the fair value to a variation in the principal unobservable data disclosed is generally presented (if all parameters remain the same) as the effect on decrease or increase, as shown below.

Unobservable data Fair value impact
on decrease
Fair value impact
on increase
ERV (Estimated Rental Value) m2 Negative Positive
Inflation Negative Positive
Discount rate Positive Negative
Capitalisation rate Positive Negative
Remaining duration (year) Negative Positive

A 1% fluctuation in value (positive or negative) of the real estate portfolio would have an impact of about 0.40% on the debt ratio. A 1% increase in the discount rate would have a negative impact of 14.70% on the value of investment properties.

The assets and liabilities at fair value through the result consist of hedging instruments that are not accounted for in accordance with hedging accounting in application of IFRS 9. The purpose of these instruments is to hedge the Company against interest rate risks. In order to hedge the risk of rising interest rates, the Company has opted for hedging instruments in which the debt at a variable interest rate is converted into a debt at a fixed interest rate ('cash flow hedge').

In accordance with IFRS 9, the fair value of financial instruments is included under the item financial assets (in case of a positive valuation) or under the item long-term financial liabilities (in case of a negative valuation). Changes in these fair values are accounted for via the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities in the global result statement (see note 'T 5.11 Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities' on page 296).

The financial instruments are considered to be 'level 2' on the fair value scale as defined by IFRS 13. All hedges are entered into within the framework of financial risk management as described under 'Note 4: Financial risk management' on page 284. The fair value of the instruments is calculated by the banks on the basis of the present value of the estimated future cash flows. In accordance with IFRS 13, an adjustment is made to the fair value to reflect the bank's own credit risk ('debit valuation adjustment' or 'DVA') and the counterparty's credit rating ('credit valuation adjustment' or 'CVA').

(3) Reference amount written down over the life of the swap.

The total notional amount of €455 million included in the table above consists of €375 million of current instruments and €80 million of instruments with a deferred entry into force, of which €50 million are CAPS.

The fair value of hedging instruments is subject to changes in interest rates on the financial markets. A change in the yield curve of 0.25% (more positive or more negative) would affect the fair value of the credit portfolio by approximately €6.0 million.

In the total amount 'Finance lease receivables' at 31 December 2024, the amount of contractual prepayments of €36,090,772 relating to the initial portfolio has already been deducted.

The amounts mentioned correspond to the repayable nominal final building rights (i.e., the total investment cost less the contractual prepayments received).

Contrary to the projects in the initial portfolio(2), for the projects in the new portfolio(3) the ground rent, in addition to a return, also consists of a repayment of the investment value, as a result of which the amount of the receivable will gradually decrease over the duration of the leasehold agreement. For the initial portfolio, the final building right fees must be repaid after the 30-year building period. The average remaining term of the building rights of the projects was 9.82 years as at 31 December 2024.

(4) In order to give an accurate picture, past indexations are now taken into account and the figures as at 31 December 2023 have been adjusted.

The gross investment in the lease is the aggregate of the minimum lease payments to be received, in this case the nominal value of the final building rights fee, the ground rent and the rent (excluding future indexations).

Amounts in EUR 31/12/2024 31/12/2023
Fair value of finance lease receivables 225,172,000 242,103,000

The fair value of the finance leases amounts to €225,172,000 as at 31 December 2024. For the calculation of this fair value, an independent party, namely Cushman & Wakefield, is consulted in order to obtain a marketbased valuation of this portfolio. The fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows, taking into account historically charged indexations for the cash flows. As discount rate they use OLO interest rates prevailing on the closing date, depending on the remaining duration of the underlying contract, increased by a margin. As at 31 December 2024, the weighted average OLO interest rate amounted to 2.88% and the weighted average risk margin amounted to 1.03%. This results in an average value of €107,635 per assisted living unit, which can be considered conservative given that future indexations are not taken into account.

A 1% increase in the OLO interest rate would have a negative impact of 6.72% on the fair value of the finance leases.

Provision for doubtful debtors -2,500 -2,500
TOTAL 7,037,159 7,333,240

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

The Board of Directors therefore assumes that the book value of the trade receivables approximates the fair value.

On 13 June 2024, Ameriprise Financial Inc notified the Company that it no longer exceeds the 3% threshold as of 7 June 2024 due to the disposal of voting securities.

On 23 September 2024, 2 October 2024, 4 November 2024, 7 November 2024 and 27 March 2025, the Company received several transparency notifications from BlackRock Inc announcing over/under crossings of the 3% threshold. The latest declaration received, the one dated 27 March 2025, states that they exceeded the 3% threshold due to the acquisition of additional voting securities or voting rights.

Care Property Invest refers to its website www.carepropertyinvest.be for the publication of these transparency statements.

Other than these new notifications from BlackRock Inc and Ameriprise Financial Inc, the Company did not receive any new notifications during the 2024 and 2025 financial years (up to the date of this report) regarding the over or under crossing of the 3% threshold. Accordingly, the Company has no knowledge of any other shareholder that would exceed the 3% threshold as at the date of this report.

(1) As part of the application of the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of short- or long-term liabilities, due to reclassifications between headings I.B. Non-current financial liabilities and II.B. Current financial liabilities, the figures as at 31 December 2023 were also adjusted to allow correct comparability.

As at 31 December 2024, Care Property Invest disposes of €460.6 million in loans drawn, divided between non-current and current financial liabilities and which belong to the category 'financial liabilities measured at amortised cost' in accordance with the IFRS 9 standard. The loans were granted by 7 banks, being Belfius Bank, ING Bank, KBC Bank, BNP Paribas Fortis, VDK Bank, CBC Banque and ABN-AMRO. These financial liabilities were fixed with a fixed interest rate or converted to a fixed interest rate by means of a swap transaction or with a revisable interest rate (every three or five years).

As at 31 December 2024, the Company had €139 million of undrawn credit lines. Taking into account 100% hedging of the outstanding amount of commercial paper (see below), the available amount of the latter amounted to €55 million.

Within the framework of these credit agreements, the Company is required to comply with a number of covenants. The main covenants concern the following:

  • A maximum debt ratio of 60%.
  • An interest coverage ratio (being the operating result before result on the portfolio divided by interest charges paid) of at least 2.5.
  • A minimum consolidated portfolio size of €650 million.

These covenants were complied with at all times throughout the 2024 financial year.

For a detailed description of these covenants, as well as the potential risks and consequences in the event of non-compliance, we refer to 'Note 4: Financial risk management, 'T 4.1 Risks associated with liquidity due to non-compliance with covenants and statutory financial parameters' on page 284.

In addition to these loans, the Company also has an MTN programme (classified under 'Other') of €300 million as at 31 December 2024, with Belfius Bank and KBC Bank acting as dealers. This programme enables the Company to raise funding on both the long term (through bond issuances) and the short term (through commercial paper).

As required under the covenants, 100% of the outstanding commercial paper is backed by back-up lines and undrawn credit facilities. As at 31 December 2024, the amounts drawn under this programme consisted of €84.0 million in commercial paper and €21.0 million in bonds. For an overview of the bonds issued under this MTN programme, we refer to section 'V. Care Property Invest on the stock market' – item '3. Bonds and shortterm debt securities' on page 239.

Care Property Invest disposes of a sustainable rollover credit of €75 million and a sustainable term loan of €30 million with ABN AMRO. Both lines have been fully drawn. Withdrawals from these facilities are exclusively used for the (re)financing of eligible sustainable assets as defined in the Care Property Invest Sustainable Finance Framework. This Sustainable Finance Framework can be consulted on the Company's website, www.carepropertyinvest.be. For the allocation of funds to eligible sustainable assets, we refer to section 'III. Sustainability Declaration– item '1.2 Sustainability commitments and priorities' on page 129.

The weighted average interest rate (incl. IRS) for the entire financial debt portfolio for the 2024 financial year amounts to 3.22%. This is an increase compared to the weighted average interest rate of 2.90% for the 2023 financial year and is the result of higher average market interest rates for the full financial year compared to 2023 and the maturity during the 2023 and 2024 financial years of some loans with favourable fixed interest rates.

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

Lease commitments entered into with respect to company vehicles and bicycles are also reported under this heading.

Deferred taxes 1,483,643 1,496,057

Deferred tax assets relate to the difference between the higher tax value and the book value of the investment properties in our Irish subsidiaries.

For the Spanish subsidiaries, the Socimi statute (equivalent to the Belgian RREC statute) has been applied since the 2022 financial year. However, if real estate is sold, the portfolio result realised before 2022 can still be taxed according to the generally applicable tax system, as a result of which a deferred tax liability of €1,261,051 was provided for as a precaution. This will therefore only change in the future as a result of the sale of real estate and the realisation of a capital gain.

The provision for exit tax that was created in 2023 within the subsidiary Het Gehucht nv, following its acquisition by the group on 26 April 2023, became payable during the 2024 financial year as a result of the merger with Care Property Invest.

T 5.38 Alternative Performance Measures

An Alternative Performance Measure (APM) is a financial indicator, historical or forward-looking, of the performance, financial situation or cash flows of a company other than financial indicators defined or described by the applicable accounting standards.

In its financial reporting Care Property Invest uses APMs in its financial communication within the meaning of the guidelines issued by the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) on 5 October 2015. A number of these APMs have been recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) and are discussed in chapter 'VI. EPRA' from page 244 of this annual report. The APMs below have been determined by the Company itself in order to provide the reader with a better understanding of its results and performance.

Performance measures established by IFRS standards or by law are not considered as APMs, nor are they measures based on items in the global result statement or the balance sheet.

T 5.38.1 Operating margin

Definition: This is the operating result before the result on portfolio divided by the net rental result, whereby the operating result before the result on portfolio and the net rental result can be reconciled with global result statement.

T 5.38.3 Equity before the reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments and excluding the variation in fair value of financial assets/liabilities

Definition: This is equity excluding the accumulated reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments (not subject to hedge accounting as defined under IFRS) and the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities, where the reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments is included in item 'C'. Reserves' of the consolidated balance sheet and changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities can be reconciled with item 'XXIII.

3. Auditor's report

Independent auditor's report to the general meeting of Care Property Invest nv for the year ended 31 December 2024

In the context of the statutory audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements) of Care Property Invest nv (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group"), we report to you as statutory auditor. This report includes our opinion on the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated statement of overall result, the statement of changes in consolidated equity and the cash flow table for the year ended 31 December 2024 and the disclosures including material accounting policy information (all elements together the "Consolidated Financial Statements") as well as our report on other legal and regulatory requirements. These two reports are considered one report and are inseparable.

We have been appointed as statutory auditor by the shareholders' meeting of 25 May 2022, in accordance with the proposition by the Board of Directors following recommendation of the Audit Committee. Our mandate expires at the shareholders' meeting that will deliberate on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024. We performed the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group during 6 consecutive years.

Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Unqualified opinion

We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Care Property Invest nv, that comprise of the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated statement of overall result, the statement of changes in consolidated equity and the cash flow table on 31 December 2024 and the disclosures including, material accounting policy information, which show a consolidated balance sheet total of € 1.225.947.001 and of which the consolidated income statement shows a profit for the year of € 25.741.065.

In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated net equity and financial position as at 31 December 2024, and of its consolidated results for the year then ended, prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as

adopted by the European Union and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium.

Basis for the unqualified opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing ("ISA's") applicable in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the ISA's approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB") that apply at the current year-end date and have not yet been approved at national level. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report.

We have complied with all ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium, including those with respect to independence.

We have obtained from the Board of Directors and the officials of the Company the explanations and information necessary for the performance of our audit and we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current reporting period.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole and in

forming our opinion thereon, and consequently we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of the investment properties Description of the key audit matter

Investment property represents 83% of the assets of the Group. As at 31 December 2024, the investment properties on the assets of the balance sheet amount to

€ 1.015.281.986.

In accordance with the accounting policies and IAS 40 standard "Investment property", investment property is valued at fair value, and the changes in the fair value of investment property are recognized in the income statement.

The fair value of investment properties belongs to the level 3 of the fair value hierarchy defined within the IFRS 13 standard "Fair Value Measurement" since some parameters used for valuation purposes are based on only limited observable data (discount rate, future occupancy rate, …).

The audit risk appears in the valuation of these investment properties.

Summary of the procedures performed

The Group uses external experts to make an estimate of the fair value of its buildings. We have assessed the valuation reports of the external experts (with the support of our internal valuation experts).

  • More precisely, we have assessed the objectivity, the independence and the competence of the external experts;
  • tested the integrity of the most important source data (contractual rentals, maturities of the rental contracts, …) used in their calculations and reconciled with underlying contracts for a sample;
  • and assessed the models and assumptions used in their reports (discount rates, future occupancy rates, …) for a sample.

Finally, we have assessed the appropriateness of the information on the fair value of the investment properties disclosed in note 5.14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Belgium and for such internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

As part of the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and provide, if applicable, information on matters impacting going concern, The Board of Directors should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease business

operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA's will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

In performing our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework that applies to the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium. However, a statutory audit does not provide assurance about the future viability of the Company and the Group, nor about the efficiency or effectiveness with which the board of directors has taken or will undertake the Company's and the Group's business operations. Our responsibilities with regards to the going

concern assumption used by the board of directors are described below.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA's, we exercise professional judgment and we maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:

  • identification and assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, the planning and execution of audit procedures to respond to these risks and obtain audit evidence which is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting material misstatements resulting from fraud is higher than when such misstatements result from errors, since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • obtaining insight in the system of internal controls that are relevant for the audit and with the objective to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an

opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control;

  • evaluating the selected and applied accounting policies, and evaluating the reasonability of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors as well as the underlying information given by the Board of Directors;
  • conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going-concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether or not a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's or Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions

may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going-concern;

• evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and evaluating whether the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events.

We communicate with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the audits of the subsidiaries. In this respect we have determined the nature

and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities.

We provide the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We

describe these matters in our report, unless the law or regulations prohibit this.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements Responsibilities of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report.

Responsibilities of the auditor

In the context of our mandate and in accordance with the additional standard to the ISA's applicable in Belgium, it is our responsibility to verify, in all material respects, the Board of Directors' report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, and other information included in the annual report, as well as to report on these matters.

Aspects relating to Board of Directors' report and other information included in the annual report

In our opinion, after carrying out specific procedures on the Board of Directors' report, the Board of Directors' report is consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with article 3:32 of the Code of companies and associations.

In the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are also responsible to consider whether, based on the information that we became aware of during the performance of our audit, the Board of Directors' report and other information included in the annual report, being:

• EPRA (chapter VI)

contain any material inconsistencies or contains information that is inaccurate or otherwise misleading. In light of the work performed, there are no material inconsistencies to be reported.

Independence matters

Our audit firm and our network have not performed any services that are not compatible with the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and have remained independent of the Company during the course of our mandate.

The fees related to additional services which are compatible with the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as referred to in article 3:65 of the Code of companies and associations were duly itemized and valued in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

European single electronic format ("ESEF")

In accordance with the standard on the audit of the conformity of the financial statements with the European single electronic format (hereinafter "ESEF"), we have carried out the audit of the compliance of the ESEF format with the regulatory technical standards set by the European Delegated Regulation No 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereinafter: "Delegated Regulation").

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation, in accordance with the ESEF requirements, of the consolidated financial statements in the form of an electronic file in ESEF format (hereinafter 'the digital consolidated financial statements') included in the annual financial report available on the portal of the FSMA (https://www.fsma.be/en/data-portal).

It is our responsibility to obtain sufficient and appropriate supporting evidence to conclude that the format and markup language of the digital consolidated financial statements comply in all material respects with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.

Based on the work performed by us, we conclude that the format and tagging of information in the digital consolidated financial statements of Care Property Invest nv per 31 December 2024 included in the annual financial report available on the portal of the FSMA (https://www.fsma.be/en/data-portal) are, in all material respects, in accordance with the ESEF requirements under the Delegated Regulation.

Due to the technical limitations inherent in the tagging of consolidated financial statements using the ESEF format, it is possible that the content of certain tags in the accompanying notes is not reproduced in an identical manner as in the consolidated financial statements attached to this report.

Other communications.

This report is consistent with our supplementary declaration to the Audit Committee as specified in article 11 of the regulation (EU) nr. 537/2014.

In accordance with Article 32 of the coordinated Articles of Association, the ordinary general meeting is convened on the last Wednesday of May.

1.9 Accredited auditor

In accordance with Article 29 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting of 25 May 2022 appointed the limited liability company EY Bedrijfsrevisoren, with registered office at 1831 Diegem, Kouterveldstraat 7 b 001, company number 0446.334.711, RPR Brussels and membership no. B160, as statutory auditor for a period of three years. This company has appointed Mrs Christel Weymeersch, company auditor, as representative authorised to represent the Company and charged with the execution of the mandate in the name and on behalf of EY Bedrijfsrevisoren. The mandate expires after the general meeting of shareholders that must approve the financial statements as at 31 December 2024.

1.10 Internal audit

The Board of Directors uses an external consultant for the internal audit function within the meaning of Article 17§3 of the RREC Law. Since 1 February 2023, BDO Advisory bv/srl has assumed this mandate.

1.11 Real estate expert

Pursuant to the RREC Law and RREC Decree, the Company's real estate must be valued by a recognised, independent real estate expert. This expert must determine the 'fair value' of the buildings, which is included in the financial statements of the Company.

For this purpose, the Company calls upon (i) Stadim bv, with registered office at 2018 Antwerp, Mechelsesteenweg 180, (ii) Cushman & Wakefield nv, with registered office at 1000 Brussels, Kunstlaan 56 and (iii) CBRE Unlimited Company with registered office at Connaught House, Number One Burlington Road, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The respective agreements were concluded for a renewable term of 3 years. The current term for Stadim bv expires on 31 December 2025, that for Cushman & Wakefield on 31 March 2026 and that for CBRE on 31 March 2025. The fee of these real estate experts is independent of the fair value of the real estate to be valued.

Valuation method

The evaluation is carried out according to the specific valuation methods of each real estate expert:

Stadim

The valuation is based on a detailed discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, in which explicit assumptions are made about future income and residual value. The discount rate takes into account market interest rates, increased by a risk premium for real estate investments. In addition, interest rate and inflation fluctuations are conservatively taken into account.

The results are tested against unit prices and returns from comparable sales transactions, with corrections applied for any differences. This method guarantees an accurate and realistic valuation, taking into account financial risks and market conditions.

Cushman & Wakefield

The valuation is carried out based on the forward and reversal method. This method combines two components:

    1. The term value reflects the value of the property during the remaining term of the lease or the right in rem. The calculation takes into account the current rental income for this period. If there are non-recoverable costs charged to the owner, these are deducted from the current rent. Subsequently, the corrected rental value is multiplied by a multiplier. The discount rate is determined based on the risk-free interest rate, comparable transactions, internal expertise, the solvency of the tenant, the condition of the building and the attractiveness of the location.
    1. The reversion value reflects the expected value of the property at the end of the term. Depending on the type of property, an exit price or an exit yield is determined, which may or may not include CAPEX provisions. The calculated value is indexed to the end of the term and then discounted to the valuation date.
    1. The final investment value of the property is determined by combining the term value and the reversion value.

CBRE

The valuation is carried out according to the investment method, whereby the current and projected rental income is capitalised. The contractual rent is capitalised at a market-dependent rate of return, which is tested against the estimation of sustainable income.

Various factors are taken into consideration when determining the rate of return, including the quality and location of the property, the financial capacity of the tenant and any guarantees. The yields applied by CBRE are based on long-term market rents and take into account the location, its attractiveness to residents, the agreed rent levels, the rent as a percentage of EBITDARM and the financial stability of the tenant.

Financial data and forecasts are analysed to determine the market rent. This includes using a common percentage of the EBITDAR, with 55% being a common standard in Ireland. Market comparisons form the basis for determining the yield, with adjustments to identify the growth potential of the operator and the lease obligations.

Rental income is indexed annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) during the term of the lease, which contributes to a stable and predictable income stream.

For all real estate experts, development projects, such as new construction, renovations or expansion work, are valued during the development phase by deducting the outstanding development costs from the expected value. This expected value is determined based on the methods described above.

TITLE II - CAPITAL - SHARES - OTHER SECURITIES

ARTICLE 6 - CAPITAL

The capital amounts to two hundred and twenty million sixty-five thousand sixty-two euros five eurocents (€220,065,062.05).

The capital is represented by thirty-six million nine hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and thirty-three (36,988,833) shares without par value.

All shares must be fully paid up from the subscription date.

ARTICLE 7 - AUTHORISED CAPITAL

The Board of Directors is authorised, on dates and at conditions at its discretion, in one or more tranches, to increase the share capital by a maximum amount of: 1) 50% of the amount of the capital on date of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023, or, if the required attendance quorum would not be reached at the first extraordinary general meeting, 26 April 2023], as the case may be, rounded down to the euro cent, for capital increases by way of cash contributions where provision is made for the possibility of exercising the legal preferential subscription right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders,

2) 20% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023 or, if the required attendance quorum would not be achieved at the first extraordinary general meeting, 26 April 2023], rounded down to the euro cent, if applicable, for capital increases in the context of the distribution of an optional dividend, and 3) 10% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023 or, if the required attendance quorum would not have been reached at the first extraordinary general meeting, 26 April 2023], rounded down to the euro cent, if applicable, for a. capital increases by way of contribution in kind, b. capital increases by way of contribution in cash without the possibility of exercising the preferential right or irreducible allocation right by the Company's shareholders, or c. any other form of capital increase, it being understood that, within the framework of the authorised capital, the capital can never be increased by an amount higher than the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting that approved the authorisation (in other words, the sum total of the capital increases with application of proposed authorisations cannot exceed the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting that approved the authorisation).

This authorisation is valid for a period of two years from the publication of the resolution of the extraordinary general meeting of [5 April 2023 or, if the required attendance quorum would not be reached at the first extraordinary general meeting, 26 April 2023] in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette.

It is renewable.

This/these capital increase(s) may be carried out in any manner permitted under the applicable regulations, including by contributions in cash, by contributions in kind or as a mixed contribution, or by the conversion of reserves, including retained earnings and share premiums as well as all private assets under the statutory IFRS financial statements of the company (prepared under the regulations applicable to regulated real estate companies) that are amenable to conversion into capital, and with or without the creation of new securities, in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, the regulations applicable to regulated real estate companies and to these articles of association. The Board of Directors may issue new shares with the same rights as the existing shares for that purpose.

The share premiums, less any deduction of an amount no more than that equal to the costs of the capital increase within the meaning of the applicable IFRS rules, in the event of a capital increase decided by the Board of Directors, must be placed by the Board of Directors in one or more separate accounts under equity on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. The board of directors may freely decide to place any issue premiums, possibly after deduction of an amount maximum equal to the cost of the capital increase within the meaning of the applicable IFRS rules, in an nonavailable account that shall constitute the surety for third parties on the same basis as the capital and which in no case may be reduced or eliminated other than by a decision of the General Meeting deciding as for an amendment of the articles of association, except for the conversion into capital as provided above.

If the capital increase is accompanied by an issue premium, only the amount of the capital increase is deducted from the remaining usable amount of the authorised capital. Under the conditions and within the limits provided in this article, the Board of Directors may also issue subscription rights (whether or not attached to another security) and convertible bonds or bonds redeemable in shares, which may give rise to the creation of the same securities as referred to in the fourth paragraph, and always in compliance with the applicable regulations and these articles of association.

Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the Board of Directors may restrict or cancel the preferential right in the cases and subject to compliance with the conditions stipulated in the applicable regulations, even if this is done in favour of one or more specific persons other than employees of the company or its subsidiaries.

If applicable, the irrevocable allocation right must at least comply with the modalities shown in the applicable regulations on regulated real estate companies and article 8.1 of these articles of association. Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the aforementioned restrictions in connection with the cancellation or restriction of the preferential right are not applicable in the case of a cash contribution with restriction or cancellation of the preferential right, which is made to supplement a contribution in kind for the purpose of distributing an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders.

Upon the issue of securities for contributions in kind, the conditions set out in the applicable regulations on regulated real estate companies and article 8.2 of the articles of association must be complied with (including the ability to deduct an amount equal to the portion of the undistributed gross dividend). However, the special rules set out under article 8.2 regarding the capital increase in kind shall not apply to the contribution of the right to dividend for the purposes of the payment of an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders.

ARTICLE 8 - CHANGE IN THE CAPITAL

Notwithstanding the option of using the authorised capital by means of a resolution of the Board of Directors, and with due regard to the legislation applicable to regulated real estate companies, a capital increase or capital reduction may only be decided by an extraordinary General Meeting in the presence of a notary public and in accordance with the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations and the RREC legislation.

The company is prohibited from directly or indirectly subscribing to its own capital increase.

On the occasion of each capital increase, the Board of Directors shall determine the price, the issue premium, if any, and the terms and conditions of the issue of new shares, unless the General Meeting decides otherwise itself. If the General Meeting decides to request an issue premium, this must be placed in one or more separate accounts under equity on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. The board of directors may freely decide to place any issue premiums, possibly after deduction of an amount maximum equal to the cost of the capital increase within the meaning of the applicable IFRS rules, in an non-available account that shall constitute the guarantee of third parties in the same way as the capital and which may not be reduced or eliminated in any case other than by a decision of the General Meeting deciding as for an amendment of the articles of association, except for the conversion into capital as provided above. In the event of a reduction in the issued capital, shareholders must be treated equally in equivalent circumstances, and the other rules contained in the mandatory provisions of the applicable regulations must be complied with.

8.1 Capital increase in cash

In the case of a capital increase by contribution in cash and without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the preferential right may be restricted or cancelled in the cases and subject to compliance with the conditions stipulated in the applicable regulations.

If applicable, the irrevocable allocation right must at least meet the following conditions:

  1. it must relate to all newly issued securities;

  2. it must be granted to the shareholders pro rata to the portion of the capital that is represented by their shares at the time of the transaction;

  3. a maximum price for each share must be announced no later than the eve of the opening of the public subscription period; and

  4. the public subscription period must in such case be at least three trading days.

However, according to the RREC legislation, this should in any event not be granted in the case of a capital increase by contribution in cash carried out under the following conditions:

  1. the capital increase shall take place using the authorised capital;

  2. the cumulative amount of capital increases carried out in accordance with this paragraph over a period of twelve (12) months shall not exceed 10% of the amount of the capital at the time of the decision to increase the capital. Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions contained in the applicable regulations, the aforementioned restrictions in connection with the capital increase in cash shall also not apply in the case of a cash contribution with restriction or cancellation of the preferential right, which is made to supplement a contribution in kind for the purpose of distributing an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders.

8.2 Capital increase in kind

The following conditions must be fulfilled upon the issue of securities against contribution in kind, without prejudice to articles 7:196 and 7:197 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations:

  1. the identity of the contributor must be stated in the report of the Board of Directors referred to in article 7:197 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations and, where appropriate, in the notice convening the General Meeting for the purpose of the capital increase;

  2. the issue price shall not be less than the lower of (a) a net value per share, which dates back more than four months before the date of the contribution agreement or, at the option of the company, prior to the date of the deed of capital increase, and (b) the average closing price of the thirty calendar days prior to that date;

  3. unless the issue price or, in the case referred to in article 8.3, the exchange ratio, and the relevant conditions are determined no later than the working day following the conclusion of the contribution agreement and communicated to the public, specifying the period within which the capital increase will be effectively implemented, the deed of capital increase will be executed within a maximum period of four months; and

  4. the report envisaged in point 1 above must also explain the impact of the proposed contribution on the situation of former shareholders, in particular as regards their share in the profits, the net value per share and in the capital, as well as the impact in terms of voting rights.

For the purposes of point 2 above, it is permitted to deduct from the amount referred to in paragraph (b) of point 2, an amount equal to the portion of the undistributed gross dividend to which the new shares would eventually not give any rights. In such case, the Board of Directors shall specifically account for the deducted dividend amount in its special report and explain the financial conditions of the transaction in its annual financial report.

The special rules set out under this article 8.2 regarding the capital increase in kind shall not apply to the contribution of the right to dividend for the purposes of the payment of an optional dividend, provided this is made payable to all shareholders.

8.3 Mergers, demergers and similar transactions

The special rules concerning the capital increase in kind as set out under article 8.2, shall apply mutatis mutandis to mergers, demergers and similar transactions as referred to in the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations.

A shareholder may only participate in the General Meeting and exercise voting rights on the basis of the administrative registration of the shares of the shareholder on the registration date, either by registration in the register of registered shares of the company, or by their registration in the accounts of a recognised account holder or a clearing institution, irrespective of the number of shares held by the shareholder at the General Meeting. The fourteenth day before the General Meeting, at midnight (Belgian time), counts as the registration date.

Holders of dematerialised shares who wish to attend the meeting must submit a certificate issued by a recognised account holder or the clearing institution and confirming, as appropriate, how many dematerialised shares are registered in the name of the shareholder on the record date and for which the shareholder has indicated that he or she intends to participate in the General Meeting. Such submission shall be made no later than the sixth day preceding the date of the General Meeting, via the e-mail address of the company or via the e-mail address specifically mentioned in the convocation notice, at the registered office or by post.

The owners of registered shares who wish to participate in the meeting, must inform the company no later than six days before the date of the meeting of their intention to participate in the meeting, via the e-mail address of the company or via the e-mail address specifically mentioned in the convocation notice, by post or, as the case may be, by sending a proxy.

The Board of Directors shall keep a register of each shareholder who has indicated he or she wishes to participate in the General Meeting, which will list his or her name and address or registered office, the number of shares in his or her possession on the registration date and with which he or she indicated they will participate in the General Meeting, and a description of the documents showing that he or she held the relevant shares on the registration date.

In cases where the invitation of meeting expressly so provides, shareholders may be granted the right to participate remotely in a general meeting by means of an electronic device of communication provided by the company. This electronic device of communication must enable the shareholder to take note directly, simultaneously and continuously of the discussions at the meeting and to exercise the voting right in respect of all items on which the meeting is required to decide. If the notice expressly so provides, this electronic device of communication will also enable the shareholder to participate in the deliberations and to exercise his right to ask questions. If the right to participate remotely in a general meeting is granted, either the convocation or a document consultable by the shareholder to which the convocation refers (such as, for example, the company's website) shall also determine the manner(s) in which the company will verify and guarantee the status of shareholder and the identity of the person who wishes to participate in the meeting, as well as the manner(s) in which it will establish that a shareholder participates in the general meeting and will be considered present. In order to ensure the security of the electronic device of communication, the notice (or the document to which the notice refers) may also impose additional conditions.

ARTICLE 35 – PROXY VOTING

Each shareholder may appoint a proxy to represent him or her at the General Meeting in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations. The proxy does not have to be a shareholder. A shareholder of the company may appoint only one person as a proxy at each General Meeting. Any deviation from this rule is only possible in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations. A person who acts as a proxy holder may hold a proxy of more than one shareholder. Where a proxy holder holds proxies of several shareholders, he or she may vote differently for one

shareholder than for another shareholder. The appointment of a proxy holder by a shareholder takes place in writing or through an electronic form and must be signed by the shareholder, in such case by an advanced electronic signature within the meaning of article 4, §4 of the Act of 9 July 2001 concerning the establishment of rules relating to the legal framework for electronic signatures and certification services, or by an electronic signature which meets the requirements of article 1322 of the Belgian Civil Code.

The notification of the proxy to the company must be made via the company's e-mail address or via the e-mail address specifically mentioned in the convocation notice, at the registered office or by post.

The company must receive the proxies by the sixth day before the date of the General Meeting at the latest.

Notwithstanding the possibility to deviate from the instructions in certain circumstances in accordance with article 7:145, second paragraph of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, the proxy holder shall cast votes in accordance with any instructions of the shareholder who appointed him or her. The proxy holder shall keep a record of the voting instructions for at least one year and confirm that he or she has complied with the voting instructions at the request of the shareholder.

In the case of a potential conflict of interest, as defined in article 7:143, §4 of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, between the shareholder and the proxy holder he or she has designated, the proxy holder must disclose the specific facts that are relevant for the shareholders in order to assess whether there is any risk that the proxy holder might pursue another interest than the interest of the shareholder. In addition, the proxy holder may only vote on behalf of the shareholder, provided that he or she has received specific voting instructions for each item on the agenda. If several persons hold rights in rem in respect of the same share, the company may suspend the exercise of the voting rights attached to that share until one person has been designated as the holder of the voting rights.

ARTICLE 36 - BUREAU

Every General Meeting is chaired by the chairman of the Board of Directors or, in his or her absence, by the oldest director present.

The chairman appoints a secretary and two scrutineers, who need not be shareholders. One person may be both secretary and scrutineer. The chairman, the secretary and the scrutineers together form the bureau, which is completed by the other members of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE 37 - POSTPONEMENT

The Board of Directors may, at any General Meeting, during the session, postpone the decision regarding the approval of the financial statements for five weeks.

This postponement does not affect the other decisions taken, unless otherwise decided by the General Meeting in this regard. The next meeting has the right to determine the final financial statements.

The Board of Directors also has the right to postpone any other General Meeting or any other item on the agenda of the annual meeting during the session by five weeks, unless the meeting was convened at the request of one or more shareholders representing at least one fifth of the capital or by the statutory auditor(s).

ARTICLE 38 - NUMBER OF VOTES – EXERCISE OF VOTING RIGHTS

Every share confers the right to one vote, subject to the cases of suspension of voting rights provided for in the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations or any other applicable law.

ARTICLE 39 - PROCEEDINGS OF THE GENERAL MEETING deliberation

An attendance list which displays the name of the shareholders and the number of shares they represent at the meeting, shall be signed by each of the shareholders or by their proxy before the meeting is opened.

The General Meeting may not deliberate or decide on items not listed on the agenda unless all shareholders are present or represented at the meeting and they unanimously decide to extend the agenda. The required approval is certain if no opposition is noted in the minutes of the meeting.

The aforementioned shall not affect the possibility of one or more shareholders jointly holding at least 3% of the share capital, and provided that the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations are met, to have items placed on the agenda to be discussed at the General Meeting and to submit proposals for resolutions relevant to the agenda or to include items to be discussed, until at the latest the twenty-second day before the date of the General Meeting. This does not apply if a General Meeting is convened by a new convocation notice because the required quorum was not reached with the first convocation, provided that the first convocation was in compliance with the legal requirements, the date of the second meeting was mentioned in the first convocation notice and no new items are put on the agenda. The company must receive these requests by the twentysecond day before the date of the General Meeting at the latest.

The subjects to be covered and the related proposals for resolutions that would be added to the agenda in such case, shall be published in accordance with the provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations. If a proxy was already notified to the company before the publication of this revised agenda, the proxy holder must comply with the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations. The items to be discussed and the proposed resolutions that have been placed on the agenda pursuant to the preceding paragraph, may be discussed only if all relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations have been met.

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

If there are various questions regarding the same subject, the Board of Directors and the statutory auditors may answer these in a single response. Once the convocation notice is published, the shareholders may ask the above questions in writing, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations.

The General Meeting may validly deliberate and vote, regardless of the part of the capital that is present or represented, except in cases where the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations imposes an attendance quorum.

Except for mandatory legal provisions or provisions in the articles of association that stipulate otherwise, decisions shall be taken by simple majority of the votes cast. Blank and invalid votes are not counted as votes cast. In the case of a tie vote the proposal will be rejected.

Voting takes place by show of hands or by roll call, unless the General Meeting decides otherwise by a simple majority of the votes cast.

The extraordinary General Meeting must be held in the presence of a notary public who will prepare an authentic official record. The General Meeting may only validly deliberate and decide on an amendment of the articles of association if those attending the meeting represent at least half of the share capital. If a quorum is not reached, then a new convocation is required; the second meeting shall deliberate and decide validly, irrespective of the present or represented portion of the capital.

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

ARTICLE 40 - MINUTES

Minutes shall be drawn up of every General Meeting. The minutes of the General Meeting are signed by the members of the bureau and by shareholders who request so. The copies required to be presented by law or otherwise, shall be signed by two directors or by a managing director. For each decision, the number of shares for which valid votes have been cast, the percentage in the share capital represented by these shares, the total number of validly cast votes, the total number of votes cast in favour of or against each decision, and the number of abstained votes, if any, will be reported in the minutes of the General Meeting. This information will be published on the company website within fifteen days of the General Meeting.

The Board of Directors shall ensure that the statutory and consolidated financial statements are filed with the National Bank of Belgium within thirty days of the approval of the financial statements, in accordance with the relevant legal provisions.

TITLE VI - DISSOLUTION - LIQUIDATION

ARTICLE 46 - LIQUIDATION

In the event of the dissolution of the company, for any reason or at any time, the liquidation will be performed by liquidators appointed by the General Meeting. If the statement of assets and liabilities drawn up in accordance with the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations shows that not all creditors can be repaid in full, the appointment of the liquidators in the articles of association or by the General Meeting must be submitted to the President of the Court for confirmation. However, this confirmation is not required if that statement of assets and liabilities shows that the company only has debts towards its shareholders and all shareholders who are creditors of the company confirm in writing that they agree to the appointment.

In the absence of such appointment, the liquidation will be performed by the Board of Directors acting in the capacity of liquidation committee. With regard to third parties, they shall be considered as liquidators by operation of law, but without the powers conferred by law and the articles of association on the liquidator appointed in the articles of association, by the General Meeting or by the court.

The liquidators shall take up their mandate only after the competent commercial court has confirmed their appointment following the decision of the General Meeting. Unless decided otherwise, the liquidators shall act jointly. To this end, the liquidators shall have the broadest powers in accordance with articles 2:87 et seq. of the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, subject to limitations imposed by the General Meeting.

The General Meeting determines the remuneration of the liquidators.

In the absence of notification, they shall be deemed to have elected domicile at their last known address.

ARTICLE 49 - JURISDICTION

Except when explicitly waived by the company, any disputes between the company, its directors, its stockholders and liquidators concerning the affairs of the company and the implementation of these articles of association shall be settled exclusively by the commercial courts where the company has its registered office.

ARTICLE 50 – GENERAL PROVISIONS OF LAW

The parties declare that they will fully comply with the Belgian Code for Companies and Associations, as well as the regulations applicable to regulated real estate companies (as amended from time to time).

7. The public regulated real estate company (RREC)

7.1 Definition

The public regulated real estate company (RREC) was established by the RREC Law of 12 May 2014 as last amended by the Law of 28 April 2020. The RREC Law defines the RREC as a company that (i) is established for an indefinite period, (ii) performs the activity referred to in Article 4 or Article 76/5 of the RREC Law (see below) and (iii) is licensed as such by the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA). The public RREC is an RREC, the shares of which are admitted for trading on a regulated market and which raises its financial resources in Belgium or elsewhere through a public offering of shares. A public RREC is therefore a listed company, subject to the requirement that at least 30% of its marketable shares should be issued to the public (free float).

According to the RREC Law, a public RREC carries on a business consisting of:

(a) making real estate available to users directly or via a company in which it holds a participation, in compliance with the provisions of the Law and decrees and regulations issued for the implementation of the Law; and

(b) property ownership, within the limits of Article 7, 1, b of the RREC Law, as referred to in Article 2(5°) (vi) to (xi) of the RREC Law;

(c) concluding or joining one or more of the following long-term contracts with a public client, directly or via a company in which it has a shareholding in compliance with the provisions of the legislation on the public regulated real estate company (public RREC) (SIR/GVV), possibly in collaboration with third parties: (i) Design, Build, Finance (DBF) contracts; (ii) Design, Build, (Finance) and Maintain (DB(F)M) contracts; (iii) Design, Build, Finance, (Maintain) and Operate (DBF(M)O) contracts; and/or (iv) contracts for concessions for public work relating to buildings and/or other infrastructure of an immovable nature and services relating to this, on the basis of which: (i) it guarantees the provision,

maintenance and/or operation for a public entity and/or citizens as end-users, in order to meet a social need and/or to facilitate the provision of a public service; and (ii) for which it is able to bear the associated financing, availability, demand and/ or operating risk, partially or in full, in addition to any construction risk, without necessarily holding rights in rem in that regard.

(d) developing, providing for the development, establishing, providing for the establishment, managing, providing for the management, operating, providing for the operation of or making available one or more of the following in the long term, directly or via a company in which it has a shareholding in compliance with the provisions of the legislation on the public RREC (SIR/GVV), possibly in collaboration with third parties: (i) utilities and storage locations for transportation, distribution or storage of electricity, gas, fossil or non-fossil fuels and green energy in general and the related goods; (ii) utilities for transportation, distribution, storage or treatment of water and the related goods; (iii) installations for the generation storage and transportation of energy, renewable and/or green or otherwise, and the related goods; or (iv) waste and incineration installations and the related goods.

Real estate refers to 'real estate' within the meaning of the RREC legislation.

In the context of the provision of real estate, the Company may perform all activities relating to the construction, refurbishment, renovation, development (for its own portfolio), acquisition, disposal, management and operation of real estate.

RRECs are subject to the supervision of the FSMA and must comply with extremely strict rules regarding conflicts of interest.

From its formation until 25 November 2014, Care Property Invest held the status of a property investment fund with fixed capital (BEVAK/sicafi). On 25 November 2014, the Company acquired the status of a public RREC.

7.2 Main features

7.2.1 Activities

The public RREC must carry on the activities mentioned above.

In the context of the provision of real estate, a public RREC may perform all activities relating

to the construction, refurbishment, renovation, development (for its own portfolio), acquisition, disposal, management and operation of real estate (Article 4, §1 of the RREC Law). A public RREC pursues a strategy that serves to maintain long-term ownership of its real estate and, in the performance of its activities, focuses on active management, which implies in particular that it takes responsibility itself for the development and day-to-day management of the real estate, and that all other activities that it performs have added value for that real estate or its

users, such as the provision of services that are complementary to the provision of the relevant properties.

To this end: (i) the public RREC performs its activities itself, without delegating such performance to a third party, other than to an affiliated company, (ii) it maintains direct relationships with its clients and suppliers, and (iii) it has operational teams at its disposal which constitute a significant part of its workforce. In other words, a public RREC is an operational and commercial real estate company.

It may own the following types of real estate (as defined by the RREC Law):

Ordinary real estate:

i. real estate as defined in Article 517 and thereafter of the Civil Code and rights in rem to real estate, excluding property of a forestry, agricultural or mining character;

ii. shares with voting rights issued by real estate companies, of which the Company holds directly or indirectly more than 25% of the capital;

iii. option rights on real estate;

iv. shares of public or institutional RRECs, provided that, in the latter case, the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the capital;

v. rights arising from contracts leasing one or more properties to the RREC or granting other similar rights of use.

Other real estate (within certain limits): vi. shares of public and institutional property

investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi); vii. participating rights in foreign collective property investment institutions registered in the list referred to in Article 260 of the AICB Law;

viii.participating rights in collective real estate investment institutions established in another Member State of the European Economic Area (EEA) and not registered in the list referred to in Article 260 of the AICB Law, in as far as they are subject to equivalent supervision to the public property investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi);

  • ix. shares or participating rights issued by companies (i) having legal personality; (ii) governed by the law of another EEA Member State; (iii) the shares of which are admitted for trading on a regulated market and/or which are subject to a prudential supervision regime; (iv) the principal activity of which is the acquisition or construction of real estate with a view to making it available to users, or the direct or indirect ownership of participating interests in companies with similar activities; and (v) which are exempt from tax on income from the profits generated by the activities referred to in (iv) above, subject to compliance with certain legal obligations, and which are at least required to distribute part of their income to their shareholders (also known as the 'Real Estate Investment Trusts' (abbreviated REITs));
  • x. real estate securities, as referred to in Article 5, §4 of the Law of 16 June 2006;
  • xi. participating rights in a Specialised Real Estate Investment Fund.The real estate referred to in (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (xi) that concerns participation rights in an alternative investment institution as referred to in Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No. 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies and (EU) No. 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority), amending Decision No. 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/77/EC, cannot qualify as shares with voting rights issued by real estate companies, regardless of the amount of the shareholding held directly or indirectly by the public RREC (SIR/GVV).

A public RREC may not invest more than 20% of its consolidated assets in real estate which constitutes a single property (same rule as that applying to property investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi) and may not hold 'other property' (as referred to in paragraphs vi to xi) or option rights for such assets, other than in as far as the fair value of these does not exceed 20% of its consolidated assets.

The Company's business consists of the provision of real estate to users (in particular all forms of housing covered by the Residential Care Decree plus accommodation for the disabled) and the active development and management of its real estate. The added value that Care Property Invest provides here consists in offering customised real estate solutions, in which the properties are adapted to the specific needs of users. Care Property Invest develops, renovates or extends real estate for this purpose. Care Property Invest wishes to continue deploying its expertise and know-how accumulated in the realisation of 2,000 (subsidised) service flats in order to realise projects provided for in the Residential Care Decree in the future. This includes nursing homes, short-stay centres, day care centres, service centres, groups of assisted living residences, as well as all residential facilities for people with disabilities.

7.2.2 Obligations

In order to acquire and maintain the status of a public RREC and the fiscal transparency regime provided for this Company (see below), the Company is subject to, inter alia, the following obligations;

Distribution obligation (the 'pay-out ratio'): the public RREC must (if it makes a profit) pay out at least the positive difference between the following amounts as return on capital: 1°) 80% of the amount equal to the sum of the adjusted result and the net gain on disposal of property that is not exempt from mandatory payouts 2°) the net reduction of the debt during the financial year.

Limit on the debt ratio: the consolidated debt ratio of the public RREC and its subsidiaries and the corporate debt ratio of the public RREC must not exceed 65% of the consolidated or corporate assets, as the case may be, less the permitted hedging instruments unless this is because of a change in the fair value of the assets; if the consolidated debt ratio of the public RREC and its subsidiaries exceeds 50% of the consolidated assets less the permitted hedging instruments, the public RREC should draw up a financial plan together with an implementation timetable, with a description of the measures that will be taken to prevent the consolidated debt ratio from exceeding 65% of the consolidated assets.

Diversification of real estate: the assets of the public RREC must be diversified in such a way as to ensure an appropriate spread of the risks in terms of real estate, by geographical region and by category of user or lessee; no operation performed by the public RREC may result in more than 20% of its consolidated assets being invested in real estate that constitutes a 'single real estate entity' (subject to the exceptions permitted by the FSMA and to the extent that the consolidated debt ratio of the public RREC and its subsidiaries does not exceed 33% of the consolidated assets less the permitted hedging instruments).

Risk management: the Company must, as a public RREC, have an appropriate risk management function and appropriate risk management policy. It may only subscribe to hedging instruments (excepting any transactions of a speculative nature) if the Articles of Association allow for this and if these form part of a policy intended to cover financial risks. This policy must be published in the annual and halfyearly reports.

Management structure and organisation: the Company must, as a public RREC, have its own management structure and suitable administrative, accounting, financial and technical organisation, enabling it to carry out its activities in accordance with the RREC regulations, an appropriate internal control system, an appropriate independent internal audit function, an appropriate independent compliance function and an appropriate integrity

policy.

7.2.3 Tax consequences

Tax regime for the RREC

The taxable basis of the RREC is limited to nondeductible professional expenses, unusual or gratuitous advantages and a special assessment on 'secret commissions' on expenses that are not properly accounted for. The RREC may not apply the venture capital deduction or the reduced corporation tax rates.

If an RREC participates in a merger, demerger or a similar transaction, that transaction will not qualify for the fiscal neutrality regime but will give rise to the application of the exit tax, as was the case for real estate investment trusts. The rate of the exit tax is currently 15%.

The RREC is subject to the 'subscription fee' in Articles 161 and 162 of the Inheritance Tax Code.

The tax regime for the shareholders of the RREC

The following paragraphs summarise certain effects of the ownership and transfer of shares in an RREC under Belgian tax law. This summary is based on the tax laws, regulations and administrative commentaries applicable in Belgium on the date of preparation of this document, and is included subject to changes in Belgian law, including changes with retroactive effect. This summary does not consider or treat the tax laws of countries other than Belgium and does not take into account special circumstances peculiar to each shareholder. The shareholders are invited to consult their own advisers.

Natural persons domiciled in Belgium

The dividends paid out by a RREC to a natural person domiciled in Belgium were formerly subject to withholding tax at a reduced rate of 15%. The Company satisfies the requirement of investing at least 80% of its property being located in the EEA and which is used or intended solely or primarily for residential care or residential units adapted for residential care or healthcare. After all, the portfolio of Care Property Invest consists solely of such real estate and, in accordance with its statutory purpose can only consist of such real estate.

The tax that is withheld by the RREC discharges Belgian shareholders-natural persons from their obligations.

Capital gains realised by Belgian natural persons who have not acquired the shares in the RREC in the context of the exercise of a professional activity are not taxable if they are part of the normal management of private assets. Capital losses are not deductible.

Belgian domestic companies

Pursuant to the Law of 18 December 2016 regulating the recognition and definition of crowd funding and containing various provisions concerning financing, published in the Belgian Official Gazette on 20 December 2016, shareholders of Care Property Invest can again enjoy a reduced rate of withholding tax, of 15% as from 1 January 2017.

These dividends in principle do not entitle the holder to a deduction by way of definitively taxed income for the Belgian shareholder company, as is the case for dividends from property investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi).

As is the case for capital gains on the shares of property investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi), the capital gains on the shares of RRECs are not exempt from corporation tax.

The dividends paid out by a RREC to a natural person domiciled in Belgium are subject to to withholding tax at a reduced rate of 15%.

As a rule, the withholding tax on dividends paid by the RREC can be offset against corporation tax, and any overpayment is refundable, in as far as the shareholder corporation had full ownership of the shares at the time when the dividend was awarded or became payable and in as far as this award or provision for payment does not entail any impairment of or capital loss on these shares.

Non-resident shareholders

Dividends paid out by the RREC to a nonresident shareholder give rise, in regulation, to the collection of the withholding tax at the rate of 15% if the RREC invests at least 80%, in real estate consisting of properties located in a Member State of the European Economic Area and exclusively or mainly for residential care or housing units adapted to healthcare.

Certain non-citizens domiciled in countries with which Belgium has concluded tax treaties may, under certain conditions and subject to certain formalities, enjoy a reduction or an exemption from withholding tax.

Tax on stock exchange transactions

The purchase and sale and any other acquisition and transfer for consideration in Belgium of existing RREC shares (secondary market) through the intervention of a 'professional intermediary', as is the case for real estate investment funds (BEVAK/sicafi), are, as a rule, subject to the tax on stock exchange transactions, currently at a rate of 0.12%/0.35%/1.32% depending on the nature of the securities with a maximum of €1,300/€1,600/€4,000 per transaction and per party.

Inheritance tax

Subject to the conditions referred to in Article 2.7.6.0.1 of the Flemish Tax Code (VCF), the shares of Care Property Invest can be exempted from inheritance tax, as the Company has accreditation within the meaning of this Article. The change of status from BEVAK to RREC does not, therefore, affect this exemption in any way.

1.1 Acquisition cost

Intangible fixed assets: the acquisition value includes the capitalised costs excluding VAT.

Tangible fixed assets: the acquisition value includes the capitalised costs excluding VAT.

IX. Glossary

1.12 Double materiality

A double materiality analysis is a method for determining which sustainability themes are most relevant to an organisation. It looks at both the effect of sustainability factors on the company itself (financial materiality – outside-in) as well as the impact of the company on people and the environment (impact materiality – insideout). This analysis helps to identify material themes that drive strategic decision-making and sustainability reporting.

1.13 EPC

1.31 Minimum distribution obligation

According to Article 13 of the RREC Law, the Company is required to distribute as a return of capital an amount corresponding to at least the positive difference between the following amounts:

1.33 Transfer tax

The transfer of ownership of real estate is in principle subject to collection by the State of transfer tax, which constitutes most of the transaction costs. The amount of this tax depends on the transfer method, the capacity of the buyer and the geographical location of the property. The first two conditions, and thus the amount payable for the rights, are only known after the conclusion of the transfer of ownership.

In Belgium, the main possible methods of transfer of real estate and the associated registration fees are as follows:

  • sales contracts relating to real estate: 12.5% for real estate in the Brussels-Capital Region and the Walloon Region, and 12% for real estate in the Flemish Region;
  • sales of real estate under the professional seller regime: 5% in the Walloon Region, 6% in the Flemish Region and 8% in the Brussels-Capital Region;
  • establishment of building rights and leasehold rights (both up to 99 years): 5% (as of 01/01/2025) or 0.5% if the long-term leaseholder or building leaseholder is a nonprofit organisation;
  • sale contracts relating to real estate where the buyer is a public body (e.g., an entity of the European Union, the federal government, a regional government or a foreign government.): tax exempt;
  • contribution of real estate in kind, for the issuance of new shares to the benefit of the contributor: tax exempt;
  • sale contracts of the shares in a real estate company: tax exempt;
  • mergers, splits and other corporate restructuring: tax exempt;
  • etc.

The effective rate of the transfer tax therefore varies between 0 and 12.5% without it being possible to give the percentage applying to a specific property before the transfer is executed.

N.B.: It should be noted that, as a result of the interpretation of the IAS/IFRS standards calculated by the Belgian Association of Asset Managers (BEAMA), the book value of buildings for the IAS/IFRS balance sheet is determined by deducting a fixed sum for transfer tax from the investment value, which is currently set by the real estate experts at 2.5%. However, for properties with a value of less than €2.5 million, the registration fees that apply according to the location of the property are deducted. For the Dutch and Spanish real estate investments there is no special agreement and the statutory transfer tax rates apply.

1.34 Net value per share

1.39 Fair value

The fair value of the investment properties in Belgium is calculated as follows:

Buildings with an investment value exceeding €2.5 million:

The fair value = investment value/(1 + average determined as the lower of the investment unit value/(1 + percentage of the transfer costs, depending on the region in which the building is located) and the investment value as a whole/(1 + average percentage of the transaction costs as determined by BEAMA);

Properties with an investment value of less than €2.5 million:

  • if the real estate expert finds that the building can be sold per apartment, the fair value is determined as the lower of the investment unit value/(1 + percentage of the transfer costs, depending on the region where the building is located), and the investment value as a whole/(1 + average percentage of the transaction costs as determined by BEAMA);
  • if the real estate expert finds that the building cannot be sold per apartment, the fair value is equal to the investment value as a whole/(1 + percentage of the transfer rights, depending on the region in which the building is located).

The average percentage of the transaction costs, as determined by BEAMA, is reviewed every four years and adjusted if necessary, per threshold of 0.5%. The real estate experts confirm this deduction percentage in their regular reports to shareholders. The rate now stands at 2.5%.

For the other countries in which the Company operates, the principle that the fair value is equal to the investment value minus the transfer tax (market value, costs-to-buyer) applies.
