Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

The development of the German residential property market continues to be severely impacted by the difficult economic environment. One important indicator is the transaction volume, which fell to its lowest level since 2010 in the period from January to September 2023.

Accordingly, ACCENTRO's business performance in the first nine months of 2023 continued to be affected by the weak market environment. Consolidated revenues fell to EUR 56.6 million (comparable period: EUR 144.6 million) and consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell to EUR –28.0 million (comparable period: EUR 9.6 million). The earnings development was also affected by impairments of receivables totalling EUR 14.6 million. Consolidated total income fell to EUR –48.2 million (comparable period: EUR – 7.1 million) and consolidated earnings per share to EUR – 1.49 (comparable period: EUR – 0.22).

The effects of the general restraint and uncertainty among investors, which has persisted for some time, are strongly noticeable in apartment sales and the sales volume is significantly below the previous year's level. Accordingly, revenues fell to EUR 42.6 million (comparable period: EUR 130.7 million).

Through the expansion of the portfolio last year and rent increases, however, rental revenues again developed positively and exceeded the previous year's level at EUR 13.7 million (comparable period: EUR 12.7 million). Net rental income also improved significantly to EUR 5.7 million (comparable period: EUR 0.1 million).

Due to the still unpredictable business environment with a still tense market situation and persistently weak demand on the housing market, it is still not possible for the Management Board to provide a well-founded and reliable forecast scope for the current financial year. However, a significant reduction in consolidated revenues and consolidated EBIT compared to the previous forecast (revenues: EUR 100 to 120 million; EBIT: EUR 0 to 2 million) must still be expected for the 2023 financial year.

Even if the market environment is likely to remain challenging for the time being, we are nevertheless looking to the future with more confidence. If inflation continues to fall, experts believe that interest rates will at least stagnate in the coming months. In addition, no further sharp falls in residential property prices are expected in the near future. A more stable financing environment and price level as a result are important prerequisites for investors' planning certainty to increase again and consequently could lead to a revival on the German residential property market – a market with a steadily increasing demand for housing and a supply that will be far too scarce for a long time, which offers great longterm growth potential and in which our company is ideally positioned with its many years of leading expertise in residential property privatisation and its attractive property portfolio.

Thank you for your trust!

Preliminary Remarks

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG (hereinafter referred to as "ACCENTRO Group" or "ACCENTRO") on which this report is based were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Currency figures quoted in this report are denominated in euros (EUR). Both individual and total values represent the value with the smallest rounding difference. Adding up the values of the individual line items may therefore result in minor differences compared to the reported totals.

Consolidated revenues totalled EUR 56.6 million in the first nine months of the 2023 financial year (comparable period: EUR 144.6 million) and fell significantly by EUR 88.1 million or 67.4% compared to the previous year. This is primarily due to the decline in revenues from the sale of inventory

properties (reporting period: EUR 42.6 million, comparable period: EUR 130.7 million), which, in addition to the difficult market conditions, is also a consequence of the decline in notarisation volume since the second half of the previous year. The price trend on the market also had an impact on the gross margin trend in the trading and privatisation business (reporting period: EUR 1.5 million, comparable period: EUR 33.8 million). In the portfolio business, however, rental income increased again by 7.9 % to EUR 13.7 million (previous year: EUR 12.7 million) because of the expanded portfolio in the previous year and rent increases. Furthermore, the contribution margin of the portfolio business (revenues less property management costs) also significantly grew year-on-year to EUR 5.7 million (comparable period: EUR 0.1 million). In the previous year, various maintenance measures were carried out to reduce vacancies, which had a negative impact on the contribution margin. In the reporting period, these were only necessary on a selective basis.

At EUR 7.2 million, payroll and benefit costs were slightly below the level of the comparable period (EUR 7.8 million), which is attributable to restructuring measures and the resulting development of the average number of employees (reporting period: 102, comparable period: 118). As at 30 September 2023, ACCENTRO had 88 employees (30 September 2022: 123 employees).

The increase in depreciation and amortisation of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment in the amount of EUR 2.0 million results from scheduled depreciation and amortisation of acquisition costs capitalised in previous financial years relating to the expansion of the PropRate digital platform. Impairment losses of EUR 14.6 million (comparable period: EUR 4.1 million) were recognised on other receivables and other assets. Impairment losses of EUR 13.3 million were recognised on the purchase price receivable from the reversal of the acquisition of shares in DIM Holding AG and EUR 1.3 million as a result of overdue tenant receivables and specific valuation allowances.

Other operating expenses totalling EUR 12.3 million were on previous year's level (EUR 12.2 million). The main items are legal and consulting costs (EUR 4.9 million), IT costs for administration and system integration services (EUR 1.8 million), expenses for preparing and auditing the financial statements (EUR 0.8 million) and increased advertising activities compared to the previous year (EUR 1.6 million).

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) totalled EUR –28.0 million in the reporting period (comparable period: EUR 9.6 million). The year-on-year decline by EUR –37.6 million is mainly due to the result from the sale of inventory properties (EUR –32.2 million) and the impairment of receivables (EUR –14.6 million). This was offset by an increase in net rental income (EUR 5.6 million).

The interest result of EUR –21.2 million in the first nine months of the 2023 financial year (comparative period: EUR –14.4 million) is mainly driven by the effects of the refinancing of the two bonds issued in 2020/2026 (formerly the 2020/2023 bond) and 2021/2029 (formerly the 2021/2026 bond). The increase in interest expenses totalling EUR 24.7 million (comparative period: EUR 17.5 million) was offset by interest income of EUR 3.5 million (comparative period: EUR 3.1 million). In addition to the higher bond interest (EUR 13.1 million; comparative period: EUR 9.9 million), the significant increase is also due to the distribution of refinancing costs over the term of the bonds in accordance with IFRS 9 and the resulting increase in the effective interest rate of EUR 6.4 million (comparative period: EUR 3.0 million).

Earnings before taxes totalled EUR –49.2 million after EUR –4.6 million in the same period of the previous year. Considering income taxes totalling EUR 1.0 million (comparable period: EUR –2.5 million), consolidated total income amounted to EUR –48.2 million (comparable period: EUR –7.1 million), of which EUR –47.8 million is attributable to the shareholders of the parent company and EUR –0.4 million to non-controlling interests.

Cash flow from operating activities totalled EUR 28.8 million in the reporting period (comparable period: EUR 69.9 million). The declining but positive cash flow from operating activities in the financial year is mainly due to the decrease in the number of residential units sold as part of the privatisation process and the associated lower cash inflows (reporting period: EUR –5.5 million, comparable period: EUR 13.5 million). Trade receivables have an impact on cash flow, mainly due to impairments (EUR 13.2 million), cash inflows from contract assets (EUR 4.7 million) and the offsetting capitalisation of allocable operating costs during the year (EUR – 6.5 million) amounting to EUR 13.6 million (comparable period: EUR 2.2 million). Trade payables, on the other hand, had no significant impact (reporting period: EUR 0.2 million, comparable period: EUR 6.6 million). Significant cash changes resulted from the reduction in the portfolio of inventory properties totalling EUR 34.4 million (comparable period: EUR 56.3 million). Due to the classification of the properties as trading properties, investments in inventories are allocated to operating activities. Interest expenses from

financial liabilities and bonds are recognised separately and no longer under other non-cash expenses/income for a more transparent presentation.

Cash flow from investing activities totalled EUR –3.3 million in the reporting period (comparable period: EUR 12.2 million). The negative cash flow is mainly due to payments for the acquisition of investment property as a result of refurbishment measures totalling EUR –2.1 million (comparative period: EUR –18.8 million) and investments in the PropRate Online platform (intangible assets) amounting to EUR –0.9 million (comparable period: EUR –0.5 million). In the previous year, on the other hand, ACCENTRO made portfolio purchases in the financial assets, which led to payments totalling EUR –18.8 million.

At EUR –94.8 million (comparable period: EUR –56.4 million), cash flow from financing activities in the reporting period was influenced by the cash outflow from the redemption of bonds and financial loans totalling EUR –80.7 million (comparable period: EUR –85.9 million). This includes a special repayment of EUR 25 million to the bondholders in March of the financial year. Interest and financing costs totalled EUR –31.1 million in the reporting period (comparable period: EUR –17.9 million), which is attributable to the prolongation of the two bonds and the associated increase in cash interest expenses and refinancing costs. This contrasts with cash inflows of EUR 48.6 million from taking out financial loans in the same period of the previous year, compared to EUR 17.1 million in the reporting period.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 69.5 million in the reporting period (30 September 2023: EUR 31.3 million, 31 December 2022: EUR 100.8 million). This is mainly a result of the increased repayment of bonds and financial liabilities. The restrained operational privatisation business was only able to compensate for these cash outflows to a limited extent.

Total assets decreased by EUR 121.2 million to EUR 756.0 million compared to the reporting date of 31 December 2022 (31 December 2022: EUR 877.1 million). Inventories decreased by EUR 31.0 million to EUR 203.9 million (31 December 2022: EUR 234.9 million) as a result of the sale of properties in the trading portfolio. In addition, contract assets from the recognition of revenue over time in connection with the conversion of attic flats decreased by EUR 4.7 million to EUR 0.8 million (31 December 2022: EUR 5.5 million) due to purchase price payments. Loan repayments, impairments and the reversal of cash procurement costs capitalised as at 31 December 2022 in connection with the refinancing of the bonds reduced current other receivables and other assets by EUR 22.7 million to EUR 38.0 million (31 December 2022: EUR 60.8 million). In the third quarter, ACCENTRO partially adjusted the purchase price receivable from the reversal of the acquisition of shares in DIM Holding AG in the amount of EUR 13.3 million (for further details, see the section on the opportunity and risk report). The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of EUR 69.5 million in the first nine months of the financial year is characterised by interest and repayment obligations in connection with bond and financial liabilities as well as the restrained operational privatisation business.

Non-current liabilities of EUR 358.3 million (31 December 2022: EUR 220.6 million) increased by EUR 137.7 million in the first nine months of the financial year. Non-current liabilities mainly increased as a result of the extension of the two bonds 2020/2026 (formerly the 2020/2023 bond) and 2021/2029 (formerly the 2021/2026 bond) by three years each as at 6 March 2023. The 2020/2026 bond – nominal EUR 250.0 million – was still reported under current liabilities as at 31 December 2022 and is now reported under non-current liabilities. In contrast, bond liabilities totalling EUR 25.0 million were repaid and a further EUR 40.0 million in repayments were reported under current liabilities. Furthermore, non-current financial liabilities decreased in the financial year by EUR 35.8 million due to redemption payments and reclassifications due to time limits to current financial liabilities.

Current liabilities decreased by EUR 210.8 million compared to 31 December 2022 (EUR 408.9 million) to EUR 198.1 million, mainly due to the reclassification of the 2020/2026 bond from current to non-current liabilities in the first quarter of the financial year. As at the reporting date, there were current interest and redemption liabilities from bonds amounting to EUR 41.0 million (31 December 2022: EUR 255.1 million). In addition, other liabilities decreased by EUR 3.6 million, partly due to the offsetting of other purchase price liabilities against the receivable from the reversal of the acquisition of the shares in DIM Holding AG (EUR 2.6 million). In contrast, current financial liabilities increased by EUR 3.4 million as a result of the reclassification from non-current financial liabilities and by EUR 6.6 million due to increased advance payments received from operating costs not yet invoiced.

The ACCENTRO Group's equity fell from EUR 247.7 million as at 31 December 2022 to EUR 199.6 million as a result of the consolidated total income by EUR –48.1 million in the reporting period. By contrast, the equity ratio amounted to 26.4% compared to 28.2% as at 31 December 2022. The structure of the balance sheet has not changed significantly compared to the end of 2022. Reporting on the LTV (loan to value) is based on the respective bond terms, as the LTV is also monitored and reported internally in this way. Both the LTV for the 2020/2026 bond at 61.0% (31 December 2022: 57.9%) and the LTV for the 2021/2029 bond at 61.0% (31 December 2022: 51.0%) increased in the reporting period, but are within reasonable limits.

Opportunity and Risk Report

The opportunities and risks to which the ACCENTRO Group is exposed in the course of its ongoing business activities were presented in detail in the 2022 Annual Report (published on 28 April 2023). In the course of the 2023 financial year to date, two known material risks have developed as follows:

Bad debt risk – DIM Holding AG

By share purchase agreement dated 29 December 2020, DIM Holding AG, Berlin, was acquired with economic effect from 1 January 2021. The provisional purchase price amounted to EUR 15.3 million, of which EUR 11.3 million related to the acquisition of 100% of the bearer shares and EUR 4.0 million to the assumption of a shareholder loan. The basis for the purchase price calculation was an externally commissioned expert opinion by a renowned tax consultancy firm.

The reason for the transaction was to bundle the entire property management of a significantly increased property portfolio with rental intentions from nine different managers to one manager. The economically attractive opportunity to take over the management of additional third-party units in the short term was also an important part of the purchase decision.

On 12 May 2021, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG withdrew from the aforementioned share purchase agreement with effect from 1 January 2021. The reasons for this rescission and the conclusion of the corresponding termination agreement were violations of the contractual agreements by the other party in the view of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG.

In the termination agreement of 12 May 2021, it was agreed that the repayment of the purchase price in the amount of EUR 15.3 million and the redemption amount of the assumed shareholder loan in the amount of EUR 3.0 million plus interest (5%) would be deferred until 12 May 2022.

As of 30 June 2022, the receivable from PVBI Property Value GmbH ("PVBI") was valued at EUR 17.5 million. This is EUR 2.2 million less than on the reporting date of 31 December 2022 (EUR 19.7 million). This amount is made up of the interest that continues to accrue (EUR 0.4 million), minus an offset (EUR –2.6 million). An offsetting agreement was concluded in this regard.

Selected collateral agreements were concluded to secure the claims.

    1. PVBI has pledged the 1,208 shares in DIM Holding AG in favour of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG
    1. SPREE Erste Beteiligungs GmbH has issued an acknowledgement of debt in favour of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG in the amount of EUR 15.8 million plus interest of 12% p.a. from 30 April 2021 with a submission to execution;
    1. Cornelius I. RE GmbH, Storkwinkel 2 Immobilien GmbH, Koenigsallee 16 GmbH and North Gate Besitz GmbH have each encumbered their properties with a total land charge of EUR 20.0 million in favour of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG

In addition to realising the above collateral, an attempt was made to sell the GmbH shares in Cornelius I. RE GmbH, Storkwinkel 2 Immobilien GmbH and Koenigsallee 16 GmbH to ACCENTRO Real Estate AG, whereby the purchase prices for the respective GmbH shares were to be offset against PVBI's debt so that PVBI's debt would be partially reduced. The purchase agreements for the GmbH shares in Cornelius I. RE GmbH, Storkwinkel 2 Immobilien GmbH and Koenigsallee 16 GmbH were each subject to the condition that the financing banks had to approve the change in shareholders. However, as these approvals were not granted, the purchase agreements for the GmbH shares lapsed and cancellation had to be declared in each case. It was no longer possible to partially offset the purchase prices

from the above purchase agreements with payment claims against PVBI arising from and in connection with the cancellation of a share purchase agreement due to the respective declarations of rescission.

For this reason, due to the payment claims against PVBI, enforcement was initiated on the basis of the acknowledgement of debt issued by SPREE Erste Beteiligungs GmbH dated 28 April 2021, so that SPREE Erste Beteiligungs GmbH was requested to submit a statement of assets in September 2023.

SPREE Erste Beteiligungs GmbH did not fulfil this obligation towards the bailiff, so that an arrest warrant was issued against the debtor in this regard. However, SPREE Erste Beteiligungs GmbH notified ACCENTRO Real Estate AG of a private list of assets. ACCENTRO Real Estate AG subsequently applied for an attachment and transfer order in relation to the domestic account of SPREE Erste Beteiligungs GmbH at Berliner Sparkasse, which was issued by Charlottenburg Local Court on 17 November 2023. In addition, the proceedings to seize various foreign accounts are currently still ongoing.

The pledged shares of DIM Holding AG are still available as collateral for ACCENTRO Real Estate AG. With DIM Holding AG filing for insolvency under self-administration on 26 July 2023, these shares currently only represent collateral to a limited extent. Insolvency proceedings against the assets of DIM Holding AG were opened on 1 November 2023 due to insolvency and over-indebtedness.

As a result of the proceedings to date, the company is aware of some of the debtor's assets. However, the efforts of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG are currently not producing the desired result, with the result that the company has significantly written down the purchase price receivable by EUR 13.3 million. The balance of the remaining receivable as at 30 September 2023 is EUR 4.4 million. The specified collateral (including a global

land charge) remains in place on the properties and realisation efforts are continuing, meaning that the company currently assumes a probability of occurrence of a complete default on the residual receivable described of > 5% to 25%. This means that the risk of default is material and unlikely at < EUR 4.4 million (matrix box 2).

Bad debt risk – Green Living GmbH

On 31 May 2022, the ACCENTRO Group granted Green Living GmbH a short-term loan in the amount of EUR 15 million for the implementation and realisation of the project (former GDR State Security building in Hohenschönhausen) with a term until 31 December 2022. In the course of the loan agreement, the borrower granted collateral in the form of a land charge. The notarised land charge was created on 30 May 2022 to secure the loan. Furthermore, the parent company of Green Living GmbH has issued a letter of comfort as additional security.

The borrower did not meet the agreed repayment date (31 December 2022). The company is in close communication with the borrower. Green Living GmbH has been able to credibly demonstrate to ACCENTRO Real Estate AG that delays were caused by various circumstances beyond its control, by a change of architect, as well as by further enquiries from the building authorities and a slow process at the authorities, which were unexpected but in no way call the project into question. The company has been informed that Green Living GmbH is expecting a large influx of funds in the near future, but this has been delayed. When the borrower receives the funds, it intends to settle the claim plus interest in full. The borrower has stated that it will repay the full amount of the loan plus interest in the current financial year.

The loan receivable is being closely monitored and managed at the highest management level within the framework of risk management in order to achieve an amicable solution with a focus on the repayment of the loan amount plus interest.

Should this not occur, ACCENTRO Real Estate AG would have options from the collateral granted to it to satisfy itself from the land charge of the company or other properties of the borrower. This claim could also lead to a repayment of the outstanding liquid funds within the framework of a sale of receivables. Initial efforts have already been made in this regard.

ACCENTRO Real Estate AG is in permanent contact with Green Living GmbH and regards the risk of default to be very unlikely at 5% (EUR 0.8 million) of the loan amount.

Forecast Report

Due to the still unpredictable business environment with a still tense market situation and persistently weak demand on the housing market, it is still not possible for the Management Board to provide a well-founded and reliable forecast scope for the current financial year. However, a significant reduction in consolidated revenues and consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) compared to the previous forecast (revenues: EUR 100 to 120 million; EBIT: EUR 0 to 2 million) must still be expected for the 2023 financial year.

Directors and Officers

The Supervisory Board has appointed Dr Gordon Geiser as an additional member of the Management Board and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG with effect from 10 February 2023. He is responsible for liquidity management and shares responsibility for the Transactions division (acquisitions, investments and disposals). Dr Geiser's appointment is limited in time in accordance with the terms of the refinancing transaction and will end as soon as the nominal value of the 2020/2026 bond is EUR 125 million or less due to the contractually guaranteed repayments.

At its meeting on 20 June 2023, the Supervisory Board mutually agreed with the Chairman of the Management Board (CEO) of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG, Mr Lars Schriewer, on an immediate termination of the contractual relationship. At the same Supervisory Board meeting, the company's former General Counsel, Mr. Jörg Neuß, was appointed as a member of the Management Board and Chairman of the Management Board (CEO) of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG with immediate effect. Mr Neuß has taken over the responsibilities of Mr Schriewer.

Events after the balance sheet date

On 8 November 2023, the company received a non-binding offer from NongHyup Bank Co. Ltd. as trustee of Shinhan AIM Structured General Private Investment Trust No. 5 and Nox Capital Holding GmbH following the non-binding expression of interest dated 20 July 2023. ACCENTRO reported on the main content in the ad hoc announcement dated 8 November 2023. The Management Board is still in the process of examining, in particular, whether phase 2 of the due diligence process can be entered into on the basis of the non-binding offer.

On 9 November 2023, the company announced that it would propose a new concept for mandatory special redemptions and interest to the holders of the 2023/2026 bond. The bondholders were invited to vote without a meeting in the Federal Gazette on 10 November 2023. The period for voting ends on 30 November 2023 at 24:00. The Management Board is expected to publish the result of the vote at the beginning of December.
