Vastned: a new profile from the powerful merger of local experts

Vastned has been active in the real estate sector for several decades, demonstrating a proven track record of successfully managing portfolios under all market conditions.

In 2025, Vastned's profile underwent a significant transformation following the completion of the reverse cross-border legal merger where Vastned Retail merged with and into Vastned (Belgium). This transformational transaction marked an important milestone, concluding a strategic reorientation initiated by Vastned Retail in 2023. The completion of the merger enables the Vastned group to pursue economies of scale with a simplified, more efficient organization, featuring one listed entity on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam, a single management team, and optimized governance.

In addition to bringing significant operational cost synergies, amounting to approximately € 2.0 and € 2.5 million per year, and enhancing portfolio diversification, this new profile positions the group to pursue a prudent growth strategy at more favourable financing conditions.

Furthermore, Vastned obtained a new stock profile with a market capitalization above € 500 million, which resulted in the inclusion of Vastned in the BEL Mid index as of 24 March 2025. The merger also resulted in an increased free float and liquidity of the Vastned share. At this moment, Vastned is well-positioned to attract more interest from capital markets and institutional investors.

AFTER THE MERGER

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

SVEN BOSMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

LIEVEN CUVELIER, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

2025 marks the start of a new era for Vastned with the completion of a transformative transaction:

the reverse cross-border legal merger where Vastned Retail merged with and into Vastned (Belgium). This significant milestone positions the Vastned group well for the future, amidst volatile financial markets and the abolishment of the FII regime in the Netherlands.

Under this new structure, Vastned benefits from a simplified, lean, and efficient organization, with one listed entity, a single management team, and optimized governance. Additionally, operational synergies are expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately € 2.0 and € 2.5 million. The new group is also better positioned to attract debt at a consolidated level, leading to more favourable financing conditions. Vastned demonstraded this by securing credit facilities in the amount of € 345.0 million in december 2024. The credit contracts linked to the credit facilities were signed in the first quarter of 2025. At that same moment, we secured the interest rates with the signing

of Interest Rate Swaps in order to hedge the variable interest rates. The refinancing does not only offer a better spread in due dates but also provides headroom for the upcoming periods, with an average financing cost limited to 3.2% for 2025 and 3.9% for the following year. This easier access to debt and capital markets will enable us to establish a prudent growth strategy and pursue accretive investment opportunities in selected markets.

Our positioning remains unchanged, with our focus on high-quality retail properties continuing to prove its value. We observe a recovery in the retail landscape in attractive city centres as consumers increasingly seek to transform their shopping into a full inner-city leisure experience. Furthermore, we are also developing more mixed-use assets in city centres by adding offices, apartments or leisure concepts on empty floors above retail units. These redevelopments allow us to unlock the hidden value in the real estate portfolio and create shareholder value.

" 2025 marks the start of a new era for Vastned. "

Over the last years, we diversified the retailer profile in our portfolio but we always keep in mind that we attract the right brand for the right building in order to establish a long-term relationship with our tenants. This is not always easy given the unique portfolio of inner-city real estate and the fact that a large part of our buildings is classified and protected as cultural heritage. As a consequence, the retailer cannot always adjust the layout of the store, certainly when the interior of the store is classified as cultural heritage. This can result in a longer period of vacancy, however the quality and good location of our buildings allows us to keep attracting premium brands within a reasonable period of time. We are also satisfied to see that more and more brands that started their business online recognize the charm of a historical building and signed lease agreements with us.

Our excellent occupancy rate, consistently above 98%, clearly illustrates the attractiveness of our asset portfolio, valued at € 1.2 billion, and demonstrates our ability to manage the portfolio in a hands-on, proactive manner to continue optimizing it.

With our streamlined and optimized profile, we are confident in our ability to embark on a prudent growth path, offering attractive returns for shareholders and fostering longterm value creation."

REFINANCING OF € 345 MILLION CREDIT FACILITITES COMPLETED IN 2025

R Early 2025, Vastned signed credit agreements worth € 345 million to refinance the existing short term credit facilities maturing in 2025 and replace them by long-term financing with a maturity date ranging between 3 and 5 years. As a result, the weighted average maturity of the credit facilities is 3.1 years.

FOCUS ON ATTRACTING ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR THE FUTURE

R In the coming months, Vastned aims to refinance two more credit facilities worth € 50.0 million each maturing in September 2025 and January 2026 respectively. Furthermore, Vastned will look for additional financing (when needed) in order to execute the prudent growth strategy in the coming years.

SECURING FIXED INTEREST RATES VIA INTEREST RATE SWAPS

R In addition to the refinancing of the credit facilities, Vastned concluded Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) contracts to hedge the interest rate risk. An additional notional amount of € 180 million has been hedged through IRS contracts, which enables Vastned to operate under a stable expected interest rate of approximatively 3.2% in 2025 and 3.9% in 2026. With this operation, Vastned is able to stay below the target interest rate of 4.0%.

A unique positioning in order to create long-term value

Vastned manages a unique real estate portfolio consisting of prime assets in European historic city centres, including many historical buildings that have been carefully preserved. With its strategy to revitalize urban patrimony through redevelopments, Vastned is well-positioned to benefit from the strong recovery in visitors to historic city centres. Furthermore, Vastned owns a portfolio of out-of-town retail assets in high quality retail parks to diversify the risks.

MARKET TRANSFORMATION

Over the last years, the retail landscape has faced challenges due to the growth of e-commerce, the covid-pandemic, rising inflation, and an unstable geopolitical situation. However, we are now witnessing a recovery in attractive city centres, with a good balance between e-commerce and physical retail. Successful retail brands that began as purely digital are accelerating their growth and brand exposure through a physical presence in high street locations. Their stores are used as experience centres or marketing ensuring future growth of the brand. Vastned's closeness to the market and regular interactions with tenants allow our compact team of local experts to attract new upcoming brands. Due to the close collaboration between the different countries, we can share our experiences and anticipate on these trends. Additionally, Vastned is developing more mixed-use assets in city centres, by adding offices and apartments on empty floors above shopping areas.

UNIQUE POSITIONING

Vastned is convinced that the focus on high street within city centres is more relevant than ever and expects historic city centres to benefit from favourable long-term trends. Most economic and cultural activities remain concentrated in city centres, which continue to be the preferred destinations for shopping, living, working, and leisure activities. This unique portfolio approach is combined with a cost-efficient organization using digitized processes and a limited number of FTEs. The company also pursues a solid financing structure with a long-term internal target for the loan-to-value ratio at a maximum of 40%, well below the 65% maximum debt-toequity ratio allowed by the Belgian REIT regime. Over the last year, we refinanced € 470 million of credit facilities with maturing dates spread over a period of 3 to 5 years. Vastned also aims to have predictability in the interest rates and therefore also fixed the variable interest rate via interest rate swap. With the closure of interest rate swaps, we have been able to secure the all-in interest rate at 3.2% for 2025 and 3.9% for 2026, and this within turbulent times on the financial markets. With this refinancing operation, the financial institutions confirmed their confidence in our company and in the retail real estate sector. Furthermore, we optimised the debt financing of the group and ensured that there is still sufficient liquidity to carry out the activities in coming years. We remain in close contact with the financial institutions in order to attract new financing when needed.

Thanks to its unique model, Vastned is confident in its ability to deliver predictable and stable returns while creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

NOTES

1. P&L SEGMENTATION (UNAUDITED)

The segmented information is presented taking into account the information used internally in order to make decisions. The 'Chief Operating Decision Makers' are the effective leaders of the Company. The operating segments have been determined as they demonstrate similar longer-term financial performance based on estimated rental value, investment potential and residual value where they exhibit similar economic characteristics.

Vastned uses the geographical region for segment reporting. This segmentation basis reflects the four (4) geographic markets in which the Group is active: Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Spain. The Company has chosen not to further split the geographical regions (e.g. split Belgium between Brussels, Flanders and the Wallonia). This is explained by the fact that the Chief Operating Decision Maker does not make decisions based on these individual regions.

The key changes in the geographical income statement are explained as follows:

• Net rental income decreases in all segments except for France. The decrease is a consequence of the divestment program executed in 2024 and the increased financial vacancy rates over all countries (except for France). The divestment program mainly took place in the Netherlands and had an effect of € 3.4 million on the net rental income in the Netherlands and

€ 0.1 million in Belgium. During the year, Vastned reported increased financial vacancy over all countries, except for France. This resulted in a further decrease of the netrental income. Furthermore, we noted that the conclusion of lease renewals (against lower terms) in the previous financial year had a negative impact on this year's net rental income, especially in Belgium where some large contracts were renewed. These decreases were partially offset by indexation of the rental contracts as the rental income increased with 1.2% on a like-for-like basis in 2024.

  • Other rental-related income was only recognized in Belgium and linked to the compensation received following the damages incurred due to stability issues for the retail property located in at Brull 42 - 44 in Mechelen. In the other countries other rental-related expenses were recognized. These expenses mainly relate to costs that could not be recharged towards the tenants (e.g. property taxes) and might in the future be reclassified towards the property charges.
  • Result on disposal of investment properties was limited to € 0.2 million in 2024. This limited result is a consequence of the valuation method applied by the group in 2024, in which the valuation of the investment property was aligned with the selling price at the moment that an offer was received.
  • Changes in the fair value of investment property were in 2024 negative in the Netherlands and France, whereas they became positive in Belgium and Spain. The negative valuations are a consequence of the limited capital market transactions in the Netherlands and France. As a result of the limited number of transactions, valuation experts became more prudent and applied a higher yield for the valuation. This effect was more limited in Belgium and Spain as the capital markets started to attract again. Note that valuation experts did not increase the ERV (Estimated Rental Value) in 2024, whereas Vastned has a track record of closing rental agreements above ERV.
  • Taxes increased significantly as a result of the recognition of a deferred tax liability in the Netherlands, following the sale of Rokin Plaza.

2. RENTAL INCOME (UNAUDITED) for the year ended 31 December

(€ thousands) 2024 2023
Rents 70,615 74,174
Variable lease payments 266 123
Rent incentives -1,886 -2,162
Compensation for early termination of lease agreements 19 3
TOTAL RENTAL INCOME 69,014 72,138

Rental income comprises rents and income directly related thereto, such as variable lease payments and compensations for early termination of lease agreements, less any rent incentives like rent reductions. Rent reductions are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis from the commencement of the lease agreement until the next possible termination date of the lease agreement.

In 2024, rental income amounted to € 69,0 million and decreased by € -3.1 million compared to the previous financial year (€ 72.1 million). The decrease is mainly explained by the divestments that took place in 2024 as they had a direct impact of € -4.0 million on the rents. This impact was offset by the indexation of the existing rental agreements (€ 0.8 million).

Vastned agreed with a very limited number of tenants a lease agreement with a variable rent. These agreements specify that the tenants pay a minimum nominal rent. In addition to this minimum nominal rent, tenants will pay a certain percentage of a predefined annual turnover (of the retailer). This variable lease payment only applies when the predefined thresholds are exceeded. In 2024, variable lease payments were invoiced for an amount of € 0.3 million.

3. FUTURE MINIMUM RENTAL INCOME (UNAUDITED)

The table below provides an overview of the undiscounted value of the future rental income up to the first expiry date of the lease agreement. Belgian and French retail rental agreements legislation provides for a statutory break option for the tenant 3 years after the start date of the agreement. While the contractual term is usually longer, tenants benefit from early break rights under statutory law (in Belgium and France) or negotiate early break rights in their contracts.

The undiscounted value of the future minimum rental income, taking into account the first option of termination, amounts to € 163.5 million and decreased by € 50.3 million compared to previous financial year. This decrease is the combined outcome of the divestments (€ -36.4 million) that took place in 2024, the cyclical effect of the termination option (€ -29.7 million), the renewal/closing of (existing and new) lease agreements (€ 13.1 million) and the decrease in lease-incentives (€ 2.7 million). The weighted average lease term is 2.4 years compared to 2.9 years previous financial year.

More than five years 9,480 13,820
TOTAL OF THE FUTURE MINIMUM RENTAL INCOME 163,450 213,735

If we assume that the tenants will not make use of the termination option, then the undiscounted value of the future rental income amounts to € 341.7 million which is a decrease of € 78.3 million compared to previous financial year. This decrease is the combined outcome of the divestments (€ -69.9 million) that took place in 2024, the cyclical effect of the termination option (€ -33.9 million), the renewal/closing of (existing and new) lease agreements (€ 23.3 million) and the decrease in lease-incentives granted (€ 2.2 million). The weighted average lease term is 5.2 years compared to 6.2 years previous financial year.

4. EVOLUTION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (UNAUDITED) for the year ended 31 December

Changes in fair value of investment properties -16,540 -49,126
BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31 DECEMBER 1,236,044 1,375,742

At 31 December 2024, the fair value of investment properties (including IFRS 16 right-of-use assets and including the assets held for sale) amounts to € 1,236.0 million. The decrease € -139.7 million consists of:

  • Divestments of investment properties for an amount of € -134.9 million;
  • Acquisition of a building in Leuven and Namur for an amount of € 10.3 million;
  • Capitalization expenditures in existing investment properties for an amount of € 3.1 million;
  • Decrease in right-of -use assets according to IFRS 16 for an amount of -1.7 million; and
  • Changes in the fair value of investment properties were negative for a total amount of € 16.5 million.

Investment properties are valued, by an independent valuation expert, at fair value in accordance with IAS 40 'Investment Property'. The fair value is determined on the basis of one of the following levels of the hierarchy:

  • Level 1: Officially quoted (unadjusted) market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
  • Level 2: The fair value of assets or liabilities that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques make maximum use of observable market data, where available, and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
  • Level 3: Assets and liabilities of which the fair value is determined using valuation techniques of which some parameters are based on non-observable market data.

Investment properties are valued at fair value according to level 3.
