STEFAAN GIELENS CEO RAISING THE BAR

Aedifica builds futureproof healthcare real estate. We proved that once again in 2021 with a number of major concrete examples. We develop and invest in innovative residential and care concepts, paying careful attention to the sustainability of these buildings. Our starting point here is that care users and those around them have to be able to enjoy a positive experience tailored to their care needs.

Society's expectations about how care is organised are changing. The bar is being raised, and rightly so. As a reference player in European healthcare real estate, our mission is therefore to translate the new views about living conditions and care into buildings. So together with those who run these buildings, Aedifica offers care users innovative real-estate concepts that modernise care, especially elderly care, from various points of view.

The well-being of the care user is the first and most important priority. In care homes, we counter loneliness by creating a pleasant living environment that connects people with other residents, with family, friends or neighbours. We put forward innovative solutions allowing couples with differing care needs to stay together. In addition, care facilities are increasingly geared to care on a small scale, offering residents a safe and secure environment. We also enhance the dignity of senior citizens by designing living areas that give them autonomy and enable them to look after themselves for as long as possible.

For Aedifica, care facilities are not an island. Several complementary care functions are increasingly being combined on a single campus. In this way, we create care nodes that are at the service not only of the residents, but also of the local community.

The healthcare real estate of the future should not only provide an attractive care concept tailored to the needs of the user. It also has to be sustainable. Our strategy therefore aims to achieve (net) zero carbon emissions by 2050. To this end, in 2021 we devised a sustainable development framework to be applied to new development projects. In this context, we not only approach sustainability from an ecological perspective. We also focus on the well-being and comfort of the residents.

The basic idea behind service communities is that the combination of several types of care can make a positive contribution to the well-being of the care user. Bringing a care home for senior citizens and a children’s day care centre under one roof stimulates interaction that is valuable for both age groups. ‘Our service communities are designed to enrich the lives of senior citizens and children by bringing them into contact with one another and enabling them to share experiences’, says Juho Malmi, marketing manager of Hoivatilat. ‘This way, we not only counter loneliness among senior citizens, but we also teach children how to interact with elderly people.’

Both age groups have their own building and these are connected by a common inner courtyard. There, the residents can sit on a bench and watch the children having fun in the playground. Common activities are also arranged. ‘The children come and visit the elderly folk regularly, so that they can sing and play around a specific topic together’, Juho Malmi says. ‘The day care centre at our service community in Lahti, for example, focuses on music and organises weekly performances for the older residents. They always look forward to the children’s visits and find it fun to watch them play. It keeps them alert, even if they don’t have the energy to take part themselves.’


Figure 3: Service communities in Finland

OLD AND YOUNG HAND IN HAND

The ‘service community’ concept, as developed in Finland by Aedifica subsidiary Hoivatilat, offers the ideal environment in which to combine various types of care and services on a single campus for those who use the building and for local residents. In this way, old and young go – almost literally – hand in hand.

Near our campus in Tuusula there is a family where both the child and the grandparents are looked after in the same service community. For them, it’s an ideal solution: the grandparents get the care they need, but they still remain in contact with their grandchild. Plus, it's great for the parents because when they fetch their child in the evening, they can see their own parents at the same time.

INVOLVED NEIGHBOURHOOD

As well as a combination of care for the elderly and child care, service communities offer other types of care and services. Depending on the needs of the local residents, the campus can also include a restaurant, a store or even a dog day care facility. So the local residents are involved and the buildings create a functional meeting place for the community. ‘By combining care and other services, we respond to the changing expectations of our society’, Juho Malmi explains. ‘Families can easily visit grandparents in the care home when they are fetching the children and then run errands or take a meal home. In this way, we improve well-being and quality of life in the neighbourhood: the elderly are less lonely, children are exposed to various stimuli and parents can arrange their time more efficiently.’

Hoivatilat’s service communities are the perfect example of what the future of healthcare real estate in Finland will look like. Our state-of-the-art care campuses combine elderly care and child day care and are perfectly integrated into their environment, so they form a care node for the local community.

CUSTOMISED INCLUSIVE CARE

Care and well-being are approached differently in Klein Veldekens than in traditional care homes. Residents with differing care profiles find a new home on Aedifica’s innovative care campus in Geel. It has 132 spacious apartments that give them every opportunity to retain their autonomy and their dignity. In addition, the campus acts as a care node for the neighbourhood.

Belgium

Klein Veldekens in Geel

Creating well-being for residents is central to the Klein Veldekens philosophy. The spacious apartments on the campus play an important role here. ‘The spatial quality of housing strengthens the identity and autonomy of the residents and that is crucial for their well-being’, says Michiel Verhaegen, director at the non-profit organisation Astor, which developed and runs the campus. ‘Grandchildren, family and friends come by more often and stay longer because they can spend time in a spacious and pleasant environment with our residents. By strengthening these social links, we counter loneliness and create well-being for our residents.’

As well-being is closely connected to dignity, Klein Veldekens helps the residents to live as freely and independently as they can. Self-care is encouraged as much as possible. ‘Unlike in conventional care homes,

Living apart was hard. If your wife has to go into a care home, you wonder whether she is being properly looked after there. The big advantage here is that we can stay together with the cosiness of our own home, while my wife gets the care she needs.

MORE SECURITY THANKS TO THE SMALL SCALE OF CARE HUBS

Small-scale elderly care facilities improve the residents’ quality of life by offering them more security and social contact in a small community. By dividing care homes into care hubs, small-scale care for the elderly is possible within a larger structure, as well.

GERMANY

INNOVATION IN GERMANY

The small scale of a ‘care hub’ offers residents a positive experience and enhances their well-being as they feel safer and more secure.

  • Having familiar faces nearby counters loneliness
  • Care always provided by the same staff increases trust
  • The care of residents with dementia also takes on a new dimension here

Seniorenquartier Weyhe

The care hub concept is based on the principle that care and living on a small scale offer residents more security. Here, the larger structure of a care home is divided into small communities (hubs) in terms of both buildings and the operational aspects. These hubs function independently of one another. They comprise a maximum of 12 apartments that are connected to one another by communal areas such as a living room, a dining area and a garden with a terrace.

In the communal areas of the care hub, residents share their lives with one another and take part in activities together. Having other people closer by encourages more social contact, with the result that residents feel less lonely. Because they always see the same familiar faces in their small community, they have a greater feeling of security and safety, in contrast to larger communities.

Elderly people receive round-the-clock care from staff permanently assigned to their hub. This not only increases confidence among the residents, but also makes the care home concept ‘pandemic-proof’ because staff only look after a limited number of elderly people. As the care hub concept focuses on familiarity and security, it is also particularly suitable when it comes to caring for those with dementia.

Aedifica’s care campus in Weyhe, Germany, provides a differentiated care programme and combines conventional and more luxurious rooms with a care hub for people with dementia.

‘Care hubs are a perfect example of how modern architecture can underpin the care of people with dementia’, says Volker Feldkamp of EMVIA Living, which runs the Weyhe care facility. ‘By creating more nearness and security, the concept makes a substantial contribution to residents’ well-being and we are able to provide the best possible care.’

9 CREATING WELL-BEING FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA

In the Netherlands, the care hub concept has been developed further and geared specifically to the needs of people with dementia. The small-scale care facilities run by Martha Flora have a ‘Meander’ that consists of various colourful living areas and connects residents’ apartments with one another. The spacious, pleasant living environment makes a substantial contribution to the well-being of residents and care staff alike.

MARTHA FLORA HILVERSUM • HILVERSUM, NL

Our staff are stimulated by the Meander, too. They feel proud and motivated and get satisfaction out of working in such a lovely environment.

CORNÉLIE SCHOLTEN – MARTHA FLORA

INNOVATION IN NETHERLANDS

The ‘Meander’ builds on the care hub concept, but goes a step further. It creates a positive experience for residents because the colourful and spacious living areas offer them peace and quiet, but at the same time additional stimuli.

  • The concept has been specifically designed for dementia care
  • It reduces stress as the living environment has a protective effect

The Meander forms the basis of this innovative care concept for people with dementia. This communal living area includes a kitchen, a living room, a library, a workshop and a garden where residents can eat together, meet one another, take part in activities or welcome family. A care facility usually has two Meanders and each Meander connects 12 to 14 apartments.

‘Each area has its own atmosphere and stimuli’, says Cornélie Scholten, business manager at Martha Flora. ‘So residents can always find a spot where they feel comfortable. In the Meander, our residents can meet one another when they feel the need and have opportunities to take part in various activities.’

The Meander concept was designed specifically for people with dementia on the basis of scientific research and practical experience of dementia care. ‘The use of colour, the light, the materials and the architecture in the Meander are geared to giving people with dementia a feeling of safety and security’, Scholten goes on. ‘Covering an average of 250 m², a Meander provides a lot of additional living space, which considerably lowers the stress level of our residents and noticeably improves their quality of life.’

In addition, the Meander stimulates the well-being not only of the residents, but of the care staff as well. ‘Yes, our staff are stimulated by the Meander, too. They feel proud and motivated and get satisfaction out of working in such a lovely environment. Thanks to the space and the peace and quiet of the Meander, they can give their full attention to the residents.’

Sustainable construction and maintenance

As well as developing innovative healthcare real estate concepts, Aedifica invests in sustainable real estate construction and maintenance. Each day, Aedifica strives to make its portfolio more sustainable and in 2021, the group has proven its role as a pioneer in this field once again.

In order to reach (net) zero carbon emissions for the entire real estate portfolio by 2050, Aedifica has drawn up an assessment framework for each country in which the group operates that takes account of local regulations. This framework lays down the technical requirements for the construction of new, sustainable care homes in terms of the environment, energy conservation, resident health and quality of use. The group adopts a broad approach to sustainable development, not only from an ecological perspective but also by taking into consideration residents’ well-being and comfort.

However, Aedifica already goes further than this theoretical framework. Examples from the Netherlands and Germany prove this.

TOWARDS CARBON NEUTRALITY IN THE NETHERLANDS

The development projects in the Netherlands are usually already in line with Aedifica’s sustainable development framework, as compliance with the Dutch national standards of the Gemeentelijke Praktijkrichtlijn (GPR - municipal code of practice) is encouraged or even integrated into the planning permission process. This standard is fully in line with the Dutch version of Aedifica’s sustainable development framework.

The group’s Dutch portfolio already includes five completed buildings and seven projects underway that comply with the assessment framework and the GPR standard. The completed buildings achieve an average GPR score of 8.1 (comparable to a ‘BREEAM Excellent’ certificate). When these care facilities were assessed during 2021, various improvements were made to the buildings in consultation with the stakeholders (contractors, developers and operators). Among other things, measures were taken to increase the proportion of renewable energy, further reduce water consumption and improve the ventilation flow rate.# FUTUREPROOF AEDIFICA

FOCUS AREAS OF AEDIFICA’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK

  • Energy conservation E.g., measures to reduce energy consumption and increase the proportion of renewable energy
  • Environment E.g., measures to reduce water consumption and promote biodiversity
  • Health E.g., guaranteeing good air quality and circulation
  • Quality of life E.g., optimising the accessibility of the building

FIRST CARBON-NEUTRAL BUILDING IN GERMANY

With low energy demand of <75 kWh/m², Die Rose im Kalletal, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia was a relatively energy-efficient care facility as soon as it opened. As the building was recently connected to a local biomass power plant, the whole care home is now supplied entirely with renewable energy. The building is therefore Aedifica’s first facility in Germany to achieve net carbon neutrality. The care facility largely fulfills the requirements of Aedifica’s sustainable development framework in Germany. Moreover, in consultation with the operator, Aedifica has decided to invest in the installation of solar panels on the roof.

Letter to the stakeholders

Dear stakeholder,

In 2021, Aedifica has shown that it continues to live up to its ambitions as a leading European healthcare real estate investor. The international expansion continued unabated with numerous completions and acquisitions across the eight European countries in which the Group operates. The market’s confidence in Aedifica’s growth strategy was not only reflected in three capital increases that raised over €330 million, but also in the successful issuance of an inaugural €500 million Sustainability Bond supported by an investment-grade S&P credit rating, strengthening the Group to continue its growth momentum and sustainability efforts.

EUROPEAN EXPANSION

In 2021, Aedifica reaffirmed its international ambitions by implementing its first investments in Ireland and Spain. Throughout the year, the Group carried out investments and announced new projects of approx. €943.5 million in 100 care properties. Furthermore, a total of 41 projects from the investment programme amounting to approx. €289 million were completed. All the investments carried out in 2021 have increased Aedifica’s real estate portfolio to 587 sites with a capacity of more than 32,700 residents and over 11,000 children. The fair value of the real estate portfolio* increased by approx. €1,082 million (+28%) to €4,896 million (compared to €3,815 million at the beginning of the financial year). In addition, as of 31 December 2021, the Group has a total investment programme in pre-let development projects and acquisitions in progress of approx. €767 million. Considering this investment programme, Aedifica’s total portfolio is expected to reach the €5.5 billion mark by the end of 2024.

SOUND RESULTS

Aedifica focuses not only on investments and growth but also on managing its existing real estate assets. The result of this effort in 2021 is reflected in an excellent rental income of €232.1 million (€187.5 million a year earlier, an increase of approx. 24%). The EPRA Earnings* are above budget and amount to €151.5 million, i.e. €4.35 per share. Aedifica’s total profit amounts to €282 million. Aedifica demonstrated its ability to grow the company while maintaining a strong focus on financial performance through an increase in earnings per share and a sound debt-to-assets ratio. Based on these results, Aedifica’s Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2022 a gross dividend of €3.40 per share (subject to a reduced withholding tax of 15%). Aedifica owes these excellent results for the past financial year to the enthusiasm, competence and commitment of all its employees. The Board of Directors would therefore sincerely like to congratulate and thank the Aedifica team for its contribution to the Group’s development.

SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

Aedifica is paying more attention than ever to sustainability and puts its objectives into practice by investing in the (re)development and renovation of care properties (e.g. nearly zero-energy buildings in Ireland and the Netherlands, etc.). The Group’s ambitious sustainability strategy is paying off, as evidenced by the scores of different ESG assessments. The GRESB score, the Green Star Rating and the MSCI rating all increased significantly, while the Sustainalytics Risk FOR 2022, THE BOARD ANTICIPATES A 9% INCREASE IN THE GROSS DIVIDEND TO €3.70 PER SHARE. SERGE WIBAUT, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Rating continued to decrease and the Group’s Sustainability Report was awarded an EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the second year in a row. In addition, Aedifica issued its first Sustainability Bond for a total size of €500 million, bringing the Group’s sustainable financing to 28%.

FUTURE GROWTH

In 2021, Aedifica once again proved that it can deliver on its growth ambitions even in a volatile macroeconomic environment. The Group intends to continue along this path in 2022 as well. In the new year, Aedifica already demonstrated its ambitions in terms of international growth with the completion of a series of projects in the Netherlands, Germany and Finland. In addition, various new investment opportunities are being analysed. Even without taking into account new investments, the Group’s future growth is assured by its extensive investment programme. Through the combination of new investments and existing agreements on the development, acquisition, renovation, expansion and redevelopment of numerous sites, Aedifica can build up a portfolio of high-quality buildings that offer attractive net returns and further strengthen its position as a European market reference in listed healthcare real estate. For the 2022 financial year, EPRA Earnings* are expected to amount to €4.77 per share. The Board of Directors anticipates a 9% increase in the gross dividend to €3.70 per share.

In 2021, Aedifica acquired two fully operational care residences and added seven new development projects to its investment programme in the Netherlands. As a result, the Group implemented and announced approx. €63 million in new investments. Four development projects were completed as well. Joining forces with Dunavast- Sonneborgh opens up new opportunities for continued growth in the Netherlands, in particular in the non-profit segment. Thanks to our combined experience, even more Dutch seniors can count on us for sustainable, innovative care concepts that put residents centre stage and give them space to receive care in the ways they prefer.

Aedifica made investments and announced new projects in the UK amounting to approx. €110 million. Five care homes were acquired in the course of the year, with three development projects added to the investment programme. In addition, two forward purchases and two extension projects were completed. The UK healthcare real estate market offers Aedifica many opportunities for further growth. The UK’s population aged 80 and over is expected to double to 10% of the total population by 2050. In addition, the market is still very fragmented due to the large number of local private players operating small and outdated buildings.

In 2021, the Hoivatilat team made investments and announced new projects in Finland amounting to approx. €95 million. Seven care properties were acquired over the year, with nine development projects added to the investment programme. In addition, 20 development projects amounting to €85 million were completed. The projects in our Finnish investment programme are designed and developed by our local Hoivatilat team.

At the end of 2021, Aedifica announced its first investment in Spain. The Group's ambition is to invest €75 million in the development of a series of greenfield projects with an experienced local partner. The first projects will start construction in 2022. Spain provides an attractive investment opportunity, as the care market is still relatively fragmented and the ageing population and a lack of adequate senior housing will lead to increasing demand for high-quality healthcare real estate. And we are already working on the further development of our activities in Spain.

CUSTOMER PROXIMITY AT THE CENTRE OF AEDIFICA'S ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

As Aedifica continues to grow and expand into new countries, the Group streamlined its corporate structure in 2021. In the course of 2021, an operating model was designed that efficiently interweaves Aedifica’s core business activities at the level of the head office and the local teams, while maximising local responsiveness and knowledge sharing.

Local responsiveness with HQ-support

  • Each local team focuses on Aedifica’s core business activities, while relying on the Brussels head office for support services (Finance, Legal, HR, IT, etc.).

Centres of excellence for knowledge sharing

  • To support the local teams in their business activities, ‘centres of excellence’ were established, bringing together the expertise and know-how of the different country teams and encouraging further cooperation and communication.# FUTUREPROOF AEDIFICA

LETTER TO THE STAKEHOLDERS

AEDIFICA IN 2021

OUR STRATEGY

These centres of excellence are coordinated by the head office and cooperate with country representatives.

New operating model

  • Customer-centric: proximity to local markets
  • Agile: rapid decision-making
  • Robust governance & control: clear lines of accountability and ownership for staff
  • Values: promoting a common corporate culture in all teams
  • Scalable to new countries

This futureproof operating model enables us to further replicate our success formula in each of the countries in which we operate, while respecting the unique client requirements in each local market. With this new way of working, Aedifica is equipped to continue its growth trajectory in a sustainable way. Our new structure leverages the strengths we have built up over the years and provides a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices.

FINANCE TRANSFORMATION

After Aedifica implemented an ‘enterprise resource planning’ (ERP) system in 2020 to run corporate reporting through one central system, the Group further rolled out the system in 2021 and extended it to the foreign subsidiaries. A treasury management system was implemented providing visibility and reporting to optimise cash, manage liquidity and monitor debt and intercompany loans. Aedifica now has the right tools in place for oversight and control with streamlined processes across the Group.

  • Insourcing of the accounting of Dutch, German, British and Luxembourg entities to the Brussels head office
  • Implementation of a treasury management system (TMS)
  • Improved data quality and efficiency in financial reporting to support and create value for the business

Since all countries’ reporting is managed through a single central system, we can maintain our flexible business structure with short decision lines within a growing organisation. We can now easily scale up and extend our processes to other regions and segments. As of January 2021, the accounting of about 36 entities was managed on the ERP system from the Brussels head office; by the end of 2021, that number had already increased to 45 entities.

OUR STRATEGY

Aedifica specialises in investments in European healthcare real estate, with a particular focus on housing for elderly people with care needs. Thanks to our successful strategy over the past sixteen years, our Group has established itself as a market reference in listed healthcare real estate in Europe and aims to further reinforce this position in the coming years. The Group’s strategy is bearing fruit. The fair value of our real estate portfolio* reached €4.9 billion, averaging a compound annual growth rate of 24%. This growth allows Aedifica to implement several economies of scale, further optimising its performance.

Economies of scale

  • Optimal portfolio management with renowned partners, taking into account the changing sustainability requirements
  • Strong risk diversification
  • Increased capacity to seize investment opportunities
  • Greater share liquidity
  • Easy access to capital markets

Optimising performance

  • Predictable revenues
  • Optimisation of fixed costs
  • Improvement of EPRA Earnings* per share and, consequently, shareholder return
  • Remaining societally relevant for all stakeholders

GROWTH POTENTIAL

INVESTING IN THE INCREASING NEED FOR HEALTHCARE REAL ESTATE EXPERTISE

LEVERAGING EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST 16 YEARS

Aedifica’s strategy relies on four main pillars: growth potential, expertise, diversification and Corporate Social Responsibility 1 . By investing in a sector with a demographically driven growth potential, leveraging our expertise and diversifying our investments along three axes, Aedifica sets the stage for continued growth in the years to come.

  • As by 2060 more than 10% of the European population will be over 80 years old, healthcare real estate will be in high demand for the next 40 years.
  • Ageing will affect the ‘consumption’ of care, impacting the development of other care segments and related activities, such as acute care, outpatient care and specialised care. These evolutions will drive the development of (new) healthcare real estate segments (patient hotels, rehabilitation centres, hospitals, medical centres, mental health centres, residential care centres for people with a disability, etc.).
  • Care providers are further expanding and adapting their activities. Private and public operators increasingly rely on private investors to fund healthcare real estate infrastructure that meets the changing needs of society.
  • Aedifica develops long-term partnerships with its care operators, understanding their specific needs while supporting their long-term growth.
  • The Group is an involved and proactive investment partner with an offer that ranges from development to redevelopment, acquisition and/or renovation of buildings, always combining innovative care concepts, new technologies and sustainability.

Orpea crisis

In France, care operator Orpea has been under scrutiny related to revelations made in the French media, affecting the elderly care sector. Allegations against Orpea France include care negligence of elderly people in some of Orpea’s care homes, mismanagement prioritising profit over care and fraudulent activities. Orpea represents 5% of Aedifica’s contractual rental income (Belgium: 3%; Germany: 1%; Netherlands: 1%). Aedifica does not own any healthcare properties in France. Based on current information, no material impact is expected on rents for Aedifica’s care properties operated by Orpea. Operators in Europe take care of elderly people in a highly regulated and controlled environment. Incidents regarding quality of care have occurred in the past in several other European countries. Such reported incidents will normally lead to multiple inspections by the competent authorities and/or specific sanctions (e.g., a temporary admission ban or – in exceptional cases – the closure of a care home). Generally, the supervising authorities will apply specific focus on the enforcement and execution of a remedial plan by the targeted operator. Ultimately, such incidents could lead to legislative changes aiming to improve the quality of care throughout the sector in a certain country or region. When imposing new regulations, authorities however tend to avoid disrupting the market or the operators themselves, as this could lead to the opposite of the pursued goal, which is the improvement of quality of care. Aedifica firmly believes that well balanced regulations and adequate inspections should lead to fewer incidents and market turmoil, and to an optimal situation for residents, operators and all stakeholders involved in this market. As a reminder, when analysing potential investment or development cases and when managing its portfolio of standing assets, Aedifica monitors both financial and non-financial KPIs of its assets to the extent permitted by local market regulations and practices. The main financial KPI is the rent cover ratio allowing to assess the sustainability of the rent based on normal revenue and cost assumptions. Regarding non-financial KPIs, Aedifica takes into account a tenant’s quality and reputation based on publicly available information such as healthcare inspection reports, which are discussed with the operator. As always when significant incidents involving care operators are reported, Aedifica will evaluate and, if necessary, adjust its own procedures based on the results of public investigations.

2. COVID-19 IMPACT

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on society in general could still be felt during 2021. However, the vaccination programmes – including booster shots – that have been rolled out across Europe since 2021 and the emergence of new Covid-19 variants that appear to cause less severe illness have led to a significant improvement in the situation. At the end of 2021, there was no longer any indication of excess mortality due to the virus. The pandemic therefore had no material impact on the Group’s results as at 31 December 2021. Since the start of 2021, vaccination programmes have been rolled out in all countries in which Aedifica operates, with priority given to care home residents and staff. Now that the vaccination – including boosters – of these priority groups is complete in most European countries, many operators report that the public’s perception of the risk posed by care homes will quickly alter for the better and that the care operators’ occupancy levels (which fell by around 5 to 10% in some countries owing to excess mortality, a halt to admissions or other factors such as visitor restrictions) are rising again. The first signs of a change in trend started to emerge in the second quarter of 2021, leading in general to improved resident occupancy rates by the end of 2021. Although the ‘Omicron wave’ at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 might temporarily slow down the resident occupancy recovery, it is generally believed that the positive trend will continue in 2022. Operator’s reporting is also showing an improved rent cover, owing to the improving occupancy. It has nevertheless been pointed out that some increased costs, specifically relating to staff shortages during the ‘Covid-19 waves’ are still impacting rent covers. Despite the pandemic, there has been no material negative impact on rent payments. This is partly due to the fact that the average occupancy rate of the care home operators in all the countries in the portfolio has been maintained at a level that enables tenants to continue to fulfil their obligations. In addition, (local) authorities in various countries have approved aid programmes to (partly) cover the additional costs incurred by care home operators as a result of the Covid-19 measures. In several countries these programmes are however ending or ended in the course of 2021. The healthcare real estate investment market was very dynamic in 2021, characterised in general by yield compression. The sound market fundamentals of healthcare real estate (ageing of the population, market consolidation of care operators and public financing of care) remain intact and are even being strengthened by the crisis. In addition, Aedifica’s development projects are proceeding as expected since construction projects are continuing normally.Aedica believes it is well placed, in terms of the strength of its balance sheet, its liquidity position, tenant base and the diversication of the portfolio, to absorb the short-term risks of the Covid-19 pandemic (namely the possible negative impact of the pandemic on the ability of care home operators to pay their rent) and the general volatility of the macro-economic climate resulting from the pandemic, but also to continue to follow and support the growth of the care sector in Europe and the resulting need for healthcare real estate.

  1. The level of detail in the reporting received from operators varies from country to country. For example, rent covers are not available in all countries in which Aedica operates.

3. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES

3.1 CREDIT RATING

In August 2021, Aedica received its rst issuer credit rating by S&P Global. The Group was assigned a BBB investment-grade rating with a stable outlook. Aedica has engaged in this nancial rating process in order to benet from an enhanced access to capital markets with attractive nancing conditions (see section 3.2 below), while appealing to a broader investor base. According to S&P, this rating reects the strength of Aedica’s balance sheet and business model. The stable outlook reects the predictable rental income supported by resilient health care assets and overall long leases which should continue to generate stable cash ows over the next few years. S&P’s credit rating research is available on Aedica’s website.

3.2 ISSUANCE OF A €500 MILLION SUSTAINABILITY BOND

On 2 September 2021, Aedica has successfully priced its rst bench- mark Sustainability Bond for a total size of €500 million. The notes are issued with a tenor of 10 years paying a xed coupon of 0.75% per annum. The strong investor demand for Aedica was evidenced by an orderbook of €1.8 billion, more than 3.6 times covering the deal size. The proceeds of the issuance of the Sustainability Bond will be used to (re)nance environmentally sustainable healthcare assets as dened in the Company’s updated Sustainable Finance Framework. V.E. provided a Second Party Opinion on the alignment of the Sustainable Finance Framework with relevant international standards, including the ICMA Green- and Social Bond Principles. The bond is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Euro MTF Market) since 9 September 2021.

During the 2021 nancial year, Aedica further strengthened its nancial resources. The Group has secured new, long-term nancing with due dates between 2024 and 2033 totalling €1,329 million:

  • a bond (‘USPP’) of £180 million was successfully issued through a private placement with US, UK and Canadian institutional investors. The bonds have maturities of 7 and 12 years with a coupon of 2.58% and 2.79% respectively;
  • a private placement of €10 million with a term of seven years was concluded at a xed interest rate of 1.329%;
  • bank loans totalling €370 million were contracted by Aedica NV/SA, of which €305 million was new nancing and €65 million was early renancing (of which €40 million was a ‘green loan’ under Aedica’s Sustainable Finance Framework);
  • bank loans of €235 million (of which €135 million were used to re- nance investment loans) were contracted by Hoivatilat Oyj;
  • Aedica successfully issued its rst benchmark Sustainability Bond for an amount of €500 million with a tenor of 10 years and a coupon of 0.75% per annum (see section 3.2 above).

These various transactions underline Aedica’s wish to further diversify its sources of nancing and to integrate ESG criteria into its nancial policy. Taking these elements into account, the maturity dates of Aedica’s nancial debts as of 31 December 2021 are as follows:

Without regard to short-term nancing (short-term treasury notes), the weighted average maturity of the nancial debts as of 31 December 2021 is 5.7 years. The available liquidity after deduction of the short-term commercial paper stood at €701 million on 31 December 2021. As of 31 December 2021, Aedica’s consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 42.6%. Aedica extended and increased its hedge ratio by closing new forward starting swaps and some caps to hedge the interest rate risk. In addition, the USPP and the benchmark bond issue have rebalanced Aedica’s mix of xed and oating rate debt. On 31 December 2021, the nancial debt is hedged against interest rate risk for 90.3%, i.e. the ratio of the sum of the xed rate debt and the notional amount of derivatives divided by the total nancial debt (31 December 2020: 72.9%). The hedging’s weighted average maturity is 6.6 years.

3.4 EQUITY

In 2021, Aedica completed one capital increase in cash and two capital increases by contribution in kind, raising more than €330 million. These capital increases strengthened Aedica’s equity position and partly nanced acquisitions and development projects while maintaining a strong balance sheet, giving the Group sucient nancial resources for further growth.

Capital increase of €286 million
On 9 June 2021, Aedica successfully launched a capital increase in cash within the authorised capital by way of an accelerated bookbuilding with international institutional investors (an ‘ABB’) for a gross amount of €286 million. On 15 June 2021, the Company issued 2,800,000 new shares at an issue price of €102 per share, i.e. €285,600,000 (including share premium). The new shares were immediately admitted to trading and are entitled to a pro rata temporis dividend for the 2021 nancial year as from 15 June 2021 (coupon no. 29 and following). Within the framework of this transaction, coupon no. 28, representing the right to the pro rata temporis dividend for the period from 1 January 2021 to 14 June 2021 inclusive, was detached on 11 June 2021.

Contribution in kind of €20 million
On 29 June 2021, the acquisition of the Domaine de la Rose Blanche care home in Durbuy (Belgium) was carried out through the contribution in kind of the building and the plot of land in Aedica NV/SA. As consid- eration for the contribution, 184,492 new Aedica shares were issued following a capital increase by the Board of Directors within the frame - work of the authorised capital. The new shares have been listed since 29 June 2021 and are entitled to a pro rata temporis dividend for the 2021 nancial year as from 15 June 2021 (coupon no. 29 and following).

Contribution in kind of €27 million
On 8 September 2021, the Group acquired 14 buildings and the related plots of land 4 through the contribution in kind of 100% of the shares in the Swedish real estate company that (indirectly) controls the portfolio. As consideration for the contribution, 237,093 new Aedica shares were issued following a capital increase by the Board of Directors within the framework of the authorised capital. The new shares have been listed since 8 September 2021 and are entitled to a pro rata temporis dividend for the 2021 nancial year as from 15 June 2021 (coupon no. 29 and following).

Following this transaction, the total number of Aedica shares amounts to 36,308,157 and the share capital amounts to €958,091,797.21.

The consolidated turnover (consolidated rental income) of the 2021 financial year (1 January 2021 – 31 December 2021) amounted to €232.1 million, an increase of approx. 24% as compared to the turnover of the previous financial year (1 January 2020 – 31 December 2020: €187.6 million).

  1. In order to allow comparison with the previous period (due to the extension of the 2019/2020 financial year), the figures as of 31 December 2020 were derived on a 12-month basis (with the exception of the denominators (IAS 33) which were recalculated for each period). Acquisitions are accounted for on the date of the effective transfer of control. These operations therefore present different impacts on the income statement, depending on whether they took place at the beginning, during, or at the end of the period.

°° Hoivatilat included in the consolidation scope of the Aedifica group on 10 January 2020. Aedifica’s consolidated rental income by country is presented in the table above. In order to allow comparison with the previous financial year, the variation on a like-for-like basis was calculated on a 12-month period. The increase in consolidated rental income demonstrates the relevance of Aedifica’s investment strategy and can be attributed to the large number of sites that Aedifica has added to its portfolio through the completion of new acquisitions and the delivery of development projects from the investment programme. The variation on a like-for-like basis in the UK is impacted by Aedifica’s plan to redevelop two properties in the UK portfolio (which has an impact on the contribution of these properties in the rental income during the preparation and execution of the redevelopment). Excluding these effects, the variation on a like-for-like basis for the United Kingdom amounts to +3.5%. After deduction of the rental-related charges (€0.7 million), the net rental income amounts to €231.4 million (+25% compared to 31 December 2020). The property results amounts to €230.5 million (31 December 2020: €184.8 million). This result, less other direct costs, leads to a property operating result of €222.9 million (31 December 2020: €178.6 million). This implies an operating margin of 96.3% (31 December 2020: 96.7%). After deducting overheads of €30.9 million (31 December 2020: €27.1 million) and taking into account other operating income and charges, the operating result before result on the portfolio has increased by 28% to reach €193.3 million (31 December 2020: €151.6 million). This implies an EBIT margin of 83.5% (31 December 2020: 82.0%). Taking into account the cash flows generated by hedging instruments, Aedifica’s net interest charges amount to €27.5 million (31 December 2020: €25.1 million). The average effective interest rate including commitment fees is 1.6%, lower than in the previous financial year (1.7%). Taking into account other income and charges of a financial nature, and excluding the net impact of the revaluation of hedging instruments to their fair value (non-cash movements accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 are not included in the EPRA Earnings as explained below), the financial result excl. changes in fair value represents a net charge of €32.2 million (31 December 2020: €28.3 million). Corporate taxes are composed of current taxes, deferred taxes and exit tax. In conformity with the special tax system of Belgian RRECs, the taxes included the EPRA Earnings (31 December 2021: €9.7 million; 31 December 2020: €7.7 million) consist primarily of tax on the result of consolidated subsidiaries, tax on profits generated outside of Belgium and Belgian tax on Aedifica’s non-deductible expenditures. In the Dutch subsidiaries, for the sake of caution it was decided to opt for a common law tax burden in the result, notwithstanding the fact that the subsidiary still has a claim to the application of the fiscally transparent regime of a ‘Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling (‘Tax Investment Institution’). Deferred taxes are described below. The share in the result of associates and joint ventures includes the result of the participation in Immobe NV/SA which has been consolidated since 31 March 2019 using the equity method. EPRA Earnings (see page 155) reached €151.5 million (31 December 2020: €116.2 million), or €4.35 per share (31 December 2020: €4.23 per share), based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and taking into account the higher number of shares resulting from the 2020 and 2021 capital increases. This result (absolute and per share) is higher than the budgeted amount of €4.28 that was announced in the interim statement of the Board of Directors of the third quarter 2021.

The income statement also includes elements with no monetary impact (i.e., non-cash) that vary in line with external market parameters. These consist amongst others of changes in the fair value of investment properties (accounted for in accordance with IAS 40), changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (accounted for in accordance with IAS 39), other results on portfolio, exit tax and deferred taxes (arising from IAS 40):
• Over the entire financial year, the combined changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties 1 and development projects represent an increase of €160.2 million for the period (31 December 2020: €5.1 million).
• In order to limit the interest rate risk stemming from the financing of its investments, Aedifica has put in place long-term hedges which allow for the conversion of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt, or to capped-rate debt. Moreover, the financial instruments also reflect put options granted to certain minority shareholders which are the subject of appraisal at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities taken into the income statement as of 31 December 2021 represent an income of €14.8 million (31 December 2020: a charge of €5.6 million) following the increase of the long-term interest rates.
• Capital gains on disposals (31 December 2021: €0.5 million; 31 December 2020: -€1.8 million) are also taken into account here.
• Impairment of goodwill (31 December 2021: charge of €3.5 million) related to the acquisition of the shares of British asset management company Layland Walker.
• Deferred taxes in respect of EPRA adjustments (charge of €46.5 million as of 31 December 2021, compared to a charge of €11.0 million on 31 December 2020) include two elements. Deferred taxes (charge of €46.2 million as of 31 December 2021, compared to a charge of €11.1 million on 31 December 2020) arose from the recognition at fair value of buildings located abroad, in conformity with IAS 40. The exit tax (charge of €0.3 million as of 31 December 2021, compared to an income of €0.1 million as of 31 December 2020) corresponds to the variation between the estimated exit tax at the moment of acquisition of companies and the estimated exit tax at their anticipated merger dates. Taking into account the non-monetary elements described above, the profit (owners of the parent) amounts to €281.8 million (31 December 2020: €103.9 million). The basic earnings per share (as defined by IAS 33) is €8.10 (31 December 2020: €3.78). The adjusted statutory result as defined in the annex to the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 regarding RRECs, amounts to €138.9 million (31 December 2021, 12 months; 31 December 2020: €139.7 million, 18 months) – as calculated in the Abridged Statutory Financial Statements on page 230 – or €3.98 per share (31 December 2020: €5.24 per share).

This includes the remaining stake of 25% in Immobe NV, which amounts to €40.5 million as of 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: €37.0 million). The other assets included in the debt-to-assets ratio represent 5% of the total balance sheet (31 December 2020: 6%).

Since Aedifica’s incorporation, its capital has increased as a result of various real estate activities (contributions, mergers, etc.) and capital increases in cash. As of 31 December 2021, the Company’s capital amounts to €958 million (31 December 2020: €873 million).

Equity (also called net assets), which represents Aedifica’s intrinsic net value and takes into account the fair value of its investment portfolio, amounts to:

  • €2,808 million excluding the effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments* (31 December 2020: €2,223 million, including the €47 million dividend distributed in May 2021);
  • or €2,781 million taking into account the effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments (31 December 2020: €2,170 million, including the €47 million dividend distributed in May 2021).

As of 31 December 2021, liabilities included in the debt-to-assets ratio (as defined in the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on RRECs) reached €2,197 million (31 December 2020: €1,758 million). Of this amount, €2,081 million (31 December 2020: €1,667 million) is effectively drawn on the Company’s credit lines. Aedifica’s consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounts to 42.6% (31 December 2020: 43.2%).

The table below sets out the Group’s additional consolidated debt capacity assuming a debt-to-assets-ratio of 65% (maximum debt-to-assets ratio permitted for Belgian RRECs), 60% (maximum debt-to-assets ratio given Aedifica’s existing bank commitments) and 50% (maximum debt-to-assets ratio based on Aedifica’s financial policy). The additional consolidated debt capacity is expressed in constant assets (that is, excluding growth in the real estate portfolio), in variable assets (that is, taking into account growth in the real estate portfolio) and as the decrease in the fair value of investment properties that the current balance sheet structure can absorb.

50% 60% 65%
In constant assets (in € million) 380 896 1,154
In variable assets (in € million) 761 2,240 3,296
Decrease in fair value of investment properties (in %) -15.5% -30.5% -36.2%

Other liabilities of €179 million (31 December 2020: €137 million) represent primarily the fair value of hedging instruments (31 December 2021: €33 million; 31 December 2020: €51 million) and the deferred taxes (31 December 2021: €121 million; 31 December 2020: €75 million).

4.3 NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

Excluding the non-monetary effects (i.e., non-cash) of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments and after accounting for the distribution of the 2019/2020 final dividend in May 2021, the net asset value per share based on the fair value of investment properties amounted to €77.35 as of 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: €65.75 per share).

  1. The effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments of -€0.75 per share as of 31 December 2021 is the impact in equity of the fair value of hedging instruments, which is negative for €27.3 million, mainly booked in the liabilities on the balance sheet.
  2. Recall that IFRS requires the presentation of the annual accounts before appropriation. The net asset value of €67.17 per share as of 31 December 2020 (as published in the 2019/2020 Annual Financial Report) thus included the final dividend distributed in May 2021, and should now be adjusted by €1.43 per share in order to compare with the value as of 31 December 2021. This amount corresponds to the total amount of final dividends paid (€47.2 million), divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of 31 December 2020 (33,086,572).
  3. See page 139 for more information about Aedifica’s 2021 dividend.
  4. As a RREC investing more than 80% of its portfolio in residential European healthcare real estate, the withholding tax for Aedifica investors amounts to only 15%. See section 4.2 of the ‘Standing Documents’ for more information on the tax treatment of dividends, as well as section 4.3 of the ‘Risk factors’ chapter.

4.5 CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW STATEMENT

The consolidated cash flow statement included in the attached Consolidated Financial Statements shows total cash flows for the period of -€8.2 million (31 December 2020: +€8.1 million), which is made up of net cash from operating activities of +€198.3 million (31 December 2020: +€181.1 million), net cash from investing activities of -€820.9 million (31 December 2020: -€1,210.1 million), and net cash from financing activities of +€614.4 million (31 December 2020: +€1,037.1 million).

4.6 APPROPRIATION OF THE RESULTS

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting of 10 May 2022 to approve the Aedifica SA’s Annual Accounts of 31 December 2021 (of which a summary is provided in the chapter ‘Abridged Statutory Financial Statements’ on page 230). The Board of Directors also proposes to distribute a gross dividend of €3.40 for the 2021 financial year, resulting in a statutory pay-out ratio of 85%. The dividend will be paid in May 2022 after the annual accounts have been approved by the Annual General Meeting of 10 May 2022. The dividend will be split between coupon no. 28 (€1.5370) and coupon no. 29 (€1.8630).# AEDIFICA - ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

BUSINESS REVIEW

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

  1. OUTLOOK FOR 2022

The outlook presented below has been developed by the Board of Directors as part of the preparation of the budget for the 2022 financial year on a comparable basis with the Company’s historical financial information.

5.1 ASSUMPTIONS

External factors

  • The indexation rates of rents and charges vary by country and in most countries are linked to the (health) consumer price index. Indexation of the UK healthcare portfolio is generally based on the retail price index with contractual floors and caps.
  • Valuation of investment properties: no assumptions are made regarding fluctuations in the portfolio’s fair value. Changes in the fair value of the portfolio have no impact on EPRA Earnings*.
  • Average interest rate before capitalised interests: 1.64% based on the Euribor rate curve of 9 February 2022, bank margins, and hedges currently in place.
  • Foreign exchange: future fluctuations in the exchange rate may affect the value of the investment properties in the United Kingdom and Sweden, the rental income and the net result of Aedifica, which are all expressed in Euro. In the forecasts below, exchange rates GBP/ EUR of 1.15 and SEK/EUR of 0.10 have been applied.

Internal factors

  • Rents: rent forecasts are based on current contractual rates and take indexation into account. The projected rental income includes assumptions regarding future portfolio additions (completion of buildings currently under development and possible acquisitions for which the timing cannot be determined with certainty).
  • Real estate charges: the assumptions concerning real estate charges relate to internal and external real estate management costs (management fees, etc.), repair and maintenance costs, general taxes and property tax, and insurance.
  • Operating charges and overheads: this forecast includes, amongst other things, employee benefits, IT, office, consultancy services, administrative and accounting fees, and fees directly associated with the listing of the Company’s shares.
  • Investment programme:
    • Delivery of projects from the committed pipeline of €335 million in 2022.
  • Hypothetical new investments in 2022 are assumed to amount to €800 million, in addition to deliveries from the committed pipeline. It is assumed that €450 million of these new investments will immediately generate cash flow. The outlook is sensitive not only to the amount of hypothetical new investments, but also to the timing during the year.
  • The cash out in 2022 related to the investment programme described above amounts to approx. €900 million. This mainly concerns (i) cash outflows related to the execution of the committed development pipeline amounting to approx. €350 million, (ii) additional– not yet committed – investments which are assumed to be carried out during the 2022 financial year, amounting to approx. €450 million, and generating rental incomes in line with today’s market practice for 4 months on average, and (iii) additional– not yet committed – projects with assumed cash payments of approx. €100 million during the 2022 financial year.
  • Financial assumptions:
    • Debt-to-assets ratio below 50% at the end of 2022.
  • Changes in the fair value of hedging instruments for financial debts (IAS 39) are not modelled as they have no impact on EPRA Earnings*, and are not estimable. Thus, these changes have no impact on the projections presented below.
  • Divestment assumption: assumption related to the sale of some assets as part of a limited portfolio rotation amounting to approx. €100 million.
  • Taxes: taxes mainly include tax on profits of consolidated subsidiaries, tax on profits generated by Aedifica NV/SA abroad and Belgian tax on Aedifica NV/SA’s non-deductible expenditures. As a result of international growth, the tax burden increases.

5.2 FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

On the basis of the currently available information and the projected real estate portfolio, and without any unforeseen developments, the Board of Directors estimates the rental income for the 2022 financial year to reach €269 million. This results in €175 million in EPRA Earnings. Taking into account the higher number of shares resulting from the 2021 capital increases (see section 3.2), the Board of Directors anticipates EPRA Earnings per share of €4.77 per share – an increase of 9.6% compared to 2021 – and a gross dividend of €3.70 per share – an increase of 8.8%. This outlook is based on an assumption of €450 million of additional cash-generating investments outside the development pipeline. The outlook takes into account the current knowledge and assessment of the (geo)political and financial context and the Covid-19 pandemic. The Board of Directors continues to pay close attention to the shifting economic, financial and (geo)political context, as well as the associated impact on the Group’s activities, the economic growth, interest curves, development costs and energy costs.

Outlook for 2022

Estimated rental income €269 million
EPRA Earnings* €175 million
EPRA Earnings* per share €4.77
Gross dividend €3.70

Portfolio value

The net dividend per share after deduction of 15% withholding tax will amount to €2.89, split between coupon no. 28 (€1.30645) and coupon no. 29 (€1.58355). The statutory result for the 2021 financial year will be submitted as presented in the table on page 230. The proposed dividend respects the requirements laid down in Article 13, § 1, paragraph 1 of the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 regarding RRECs considering it is greater than the required minimum pay-out of 80 % of the adjusted statutory result, after deduction of the debt reduction over the financial year.

OTHER CARE BUILDINGS

The other care buildings in our portfolio accommodate various care activities (some combined with housing) and various target groups (regardless of age) with high or specific permanent or temporary care needs due to disability, illness or other circumstances such as addiction treatment, emergency childcare, special education, etc.

THE HEALTHCARE REAL ESTATE MARKET

1 EUROPEAN TRENDS

In the European Union, the population of persons older than 80 years of age has increased by approx. 25% over the past decade to more than 26 million people (2020). This segment of the population is growing faster than other age groups. It is expected that this older segment of the European population will double to approx. 50 million people by 2050. In the coming decades, this demographic trend will further stimulate demand for healthcare real estate. European residential care centres are operated by different types of operators: public, non-prot and private operators. Their market share in the various countries differs, depending on the local social security system. At the European level, private care operators manage approx. 31% of the total number of beds in residential care centres (+300 bps in two years). Care providers in the consolidating private segment develop their activities on both domestic and foreign markets, while governments have only limited resources to meet the growing demand for care and are therefore more often focused on nancing care and care dependency than on providing care as a public operator. As a result, both private and public operators rely on private investors to fund healthcare real estate infrastructure that meets the needs of the ageing population. At the European level, the investment volume in residential care centres has increased sharply in recent years, in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic: from approx. €2 billion in 2015 to a record level of approx. €7.6 billion in 2020 – a testament to the resilience of the sector. It is mainly international investors who are responsible for this increase in investment volume. This trend is expected to continue in the near future as the European con- solidation of private healthcare providers is well under way and creating new opportunities for real estate investors. However, due to this strong interest in healthcare real estate, prime net yields continued to decline. Although the Covid-19 pandemic exerted pressure on care operators and temporarily impacted the occupancy rates of care homes (occupancy decreased by approx. 5-10% in some countries but has recovered in the second half of 2021 as vaccination programmes were rolled out), healthcare real estate remained an attractive segment for investors due to the solid market fundamentals that remained intact (ageing, consolidation, public funding). The impact of the pandemic on opera- tors’ income remained relatively limited, partly because the additional costs incurred in terms of staff and protective measures were (partially) compensated by the nancial support packages from governments. The vaccination programmes that were rolled out across Europe have given a new perspective to care operators and have had a positive effect on the operators’ occupancy levels.

  1. Source: Cushman & Wakefield, CBRE, Jones Lang LaSalle, Eurostat, ONS & Aedica. The number of people aged 80 and over in Europe will double to 50 million by 2050. This demographic trend will further increase the demand for healthcare real estate.

BELGIUM

5.6% of the Belgian population is over the age of 80, and by 2040, this segment of the population is expected to increase to 7.5%. Over the past few years, the number of beds has steadily grown to approx. 150,000 units spread across the country. Based on the demographic forecasts and the increase in life expectancy, it appears that the current increase in supply will not meet demand over time. Approx. 30% of the care home beds in Belgium are managed by the public sector, while the non-prot sector operates approx. 35% and the private sector operates the remain- ing 35% of the beds. However, there are regional differences: in Flanders, approx. 50% of the beds are managed by the non-prot sector, while the private sector operates approx. 50% of the beds in Wallonia and even over 60% of the beds in Brussels. The three largest private players in Belgium currently manage approx. 25,000 beds (approx. 17% of the total number of beds. The investment volume in Belgian care homes in 2021 is estimated at approx. €340 million (compared to €400 million in 2020). The prime net yield (based on triple net long leases) currently ranges from 4% to 4.5%, depending on the region. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, healthcare real estate remained attractive to investors due to the solid market fundamentals (ageing, consolidation, public funding).

GERMANY

In Germany, the number of people over the age of 80 will almost double to approx. 12% of the total population by 2050. Currently, there are approx.# GERMANY

970,000 beds available in more than 15,000 care homes. These care homes are operated by non-profit operators (approx. 53%), private operators (approx. 42%) and public operators (approx. 5%). Although the German healthcare real estate market is increasingly consolidating and privatising, it remains highly fragmented, with the ten largest private operators currently holding a market share of only approx. 13.6%. Forecasts predict that up to 366,000 extra beds will be needed by 2040. Thus, the ageing population offers significant prospects for growth and consolidation. In some regions, demand already exceeds supply. However, the possibilities for creating new capacity in care homes are limited, due to the lack of construction sites as well as the high costs of plots of land and construction works (due to increasing ecological requirements and a shortage of building materials). Consequently, there is currently more investment in existing sites and renovations. Another problem facing operators is a shortage of trained healthcare workers. Not only in rural regions, but also in metropolitan areas it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit qualified care professionals. To make careers as a nurse more attractive, the new federal government has committed itself not only to a nursing premium, but also to improve working conditions and close the pay gap between nurses and geriatricians. Investor demand for healthcare real estate remains high, although supply is limited. In 2021, approx. €3.8 billion was invested in healthcare real estate, an increase of 8% compared to last year’s investment volume, largely due to a sizeable portfolio transaction. The prime net yield has further decreased to approx. 3.9%.

NETHERLANDS

4.95% of the population in the Netherlands is currently over 80 years of age. This age group is expected to more than double to 10.7% of the total population by 2050. As a result of this demographic evolution, approx. 160,000 extra beds in residential care homes are expected to be needed by 2050, on top of the necessary redevelopment of the outdated existing care infrastructure. Of the current capacity of approx. 130,000 beds, approx. 94% are operated by non-profit operators. Private operators account for the remaining 6% and mainly operate small-scale sites with an average capacity of approx. 22 residents. Although the market share of the private sector is still small compared to the non-profit sector, the private sector has grown considerably in recent years. In the Netherlands, too, the healthcare market is consolidating. Pan-European players in particular are currently actively expanding their portfolios. Healthcare real estate remains an attractive long-term investment option, with approx. €1 billion invested in 2021. The most important factor for the decline in the total transaction volume was the shortage in quality investment properties. Yields continued to decrease over the past year as investors were afraid to lose their place at the negotiating table in light of the shortage of quality investment properties. The prime net yield is approx. 4.50% and is expected to decrease further in the future due to the great interest in healthcare real estate.

UNITED KINGDOM

An increasingly ageing population with higher care needs is expected to increase demand for healthcare real estate significantly in the United Kingdom in the near future and offers favourable prospects for occupancy rates. Currently, 5.1% of the UK population is over the age of 80; this age group is expected to double to nearly 10% of the total population by 2060. The United Kingdom has a total of approx. 470,000 beds in residential care centres. With approx. 5,500 care home operators, many of which are independent private players operating small and outdated buildings, the UK’s senior care market is still very fragmented. The five largest care home operators have a market share of 15% of the total bed capacity, while the top 10 account for approx. 21%. The senior care market in the UK is financed by a mix of public funds (Local Authorities and the National Health Service) and private funds (self-payers). The share of residents who finance their stay with private funds has risen sharply in recent years (approx. 45% of the market). Persons who meet certain conditions as regards care needs can obtain social care services from Local Authorities (approx. 46%) after an evaluation of their financial situation. The National Health Service finances seniors with primary care needs (approx. 9%). In 2021, the investment volume in the UK healthcare real estate market amounted to approx. £2.3 billion, of which approx. £1.1 billion was invested in care homes. Net yields remain diversified: prime real estate drops to approx. 4%, while mid-market real estate has a yield of 7% or more. One of the challenges facing care operators in 2022 is a lack of qualified staff due to the Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic, which might lead to rising costs and profit compression. The German healthcare real estate market remains highly fragmented: the ten largest private operators have a market share of only 14%.

FINLAND

In Finland, approx. 5.7% of the total population was over 80 years old in 2020. This age group is projected to almost double to 10.8% of the population by 2040. Finland has a total of approx. 55,000 beds in residential care centres. Private healthcare operators have a market share of around 50%. In the 2014-2018 period, the number of residents in private care homes grew by approx. 5% per year. In 2020, more than 60% of children aged 1 to 6 were enrolled full or part-time in a day care centre. Approx. 25% of day care centres are operated by the private sector. However, the share of private day care centres varies by municipality (up to 40% in some municipalities) and is expected to increase in the future. In Finland, municipalities are responsible for providing care to their residents. A municipality has two basic options to manage the provision of care: either to provide care itself as a public operator, or to organise care through outsourcing to private or non-profit care operators. In Finland, care services are funded by municipalities through national and local taxes. After a record €1.4 billion was invested in Finnish healthcare real estate in 2020, the investment volume dropped to around €200 million in 2021 as no large portfolios were traded and more investments were made in social real estate (such as schools, etc.). However, the demand for healthcare real estate remains high, while supply is limited. The prime net yield amounts to approx. 4.0-4.25%.

SWEDEN

Approx. 5.4% of the total population in Sweden is over 80 years of age. That number is expected to rise to 10.5% by 2070. In 2020, approx. 138,000 people were living in residential care centres (of which approx. 108,000 in elderly care homes and 30,000 in housing for people with special care needs). 46% of Swedish municipalities report a shortage of housing for people with special care needs and 35% report a shortage of housing for elderly people with care needs. In Sweden, municipalities are responsible for providing care to their residents. Municipalities have various options for providing adequate care, but the focus seems to shift to giving freedom of choice so that people can choose their own care provider. Private care operators, who have seen their market share rise sharply in recent years, are seen as a central part of that freedom of choice. In Sweden, care services are generally financed with public funds. The pandemic did not affect the interest of investors, who continued to consider healthcare real estate as a safe investment. In 2021, the investment volume in the Swedish healthcare real estate market amounted to approx. €1 billion (up from approx. €700 million in 2020 and in line with the record level of 2019). The prime net yield for elderly care homes amounts to 3.25%.

IRELAND

In Ireland (population 4.9 million), data from 2019 shows that approx. 14.2% of the total population is over 65 years old and approx. 3.2% is over 80. By 2030, almost a quarter of a million people (5.1%) will be over 80 and this will double to about 10.9% of the population by 2040. Ireland has a total of approx. 32,000 beds in care homes including those in the public and private sector. Just 20% are operated by the public sector while 70% are operated by the private sector (split 50:50 between groups and individual operators) and 10% are run by the non-profit sector. In Ireland, all care homes are entered into the ‘Nursing Home Support Scheme’ (budget of €956 million in 2021) which provides a guaranteed weekly rate per bed and is supported by government money to make up the shortfall for any residents that cannot afford care. The investment volume in Irish healthcare real estate increased to a record amount of almost €600 million during 2021 due to large portfolio transactions and an unprecedented amount of single asset deals as consolidation continues at pace. The demand for healthcare real estate remains high among new active investors, while supply is limited. Much of the remaining stock to be acquired is older, and in many cases, not futureproofed. Over the last 12-24 months, the prime net yield has decreased to approx. 5%. The Covid-19 situation in Ireland is relatively well under control since early 2021 as the vaccination programme has been rolled. Overall, healthcare real estate has proven to be resilient, with many deals being closed during the pandemic.

SPAIN

In Spain (population 47.3 million), data from 2020 shows that approx. 19.6% of the total population is over 65 years old and approx. 6.0% is over 80. By 2030, almost 3.1 million people (6.5%) will be over 80 and their number will rise to approx. 7.3% of the population by 2035. Spain has a total of approx.# 383,000 beds in care homes (and an additional 26,000 beds under construction), including those in the public and private sector. 61.5% are operated by the private sector, while 38.5% are operated by the public sector. In 2021, the total investment volume in Spanish care homes has increased to approx. €600 million, doubling from 2020. Investor interest drove the prime net yield down from 4.75% to 4.50% over the course of the year. This is because several new players made their first acquisitions, while parties already active in the Spanish market continued to expand their position. Moreover, Spanish healthcare operators have ambitious expansion plans, as the current building stock is outdated and there are few attractive buildings on the market. Over the past two years, healthcare real estate has proven to be resilient, with many deals being closed during the pandemic.

In 2021, we have undertaken another materiality assessment with the support of an independent external consultant. The assessment included a peer review, interviews with internal and external stakeholders, an online survey and internal presentations. The outcomes are presented in the materiality matrix above, with the most material topics plotted on the top right. Our sustainability efforts in the coming years will primarily focus on these topics. Based on the new matrix, we have updated our CSR framework and set out new commitments for the future, assuming our responsibility and responding to the topics of importance to the Group to the maximum extent possible. Those topics not presented in the top right of the matrix are relevant to our industry but are considered less material for Aedifica in the coming years. This does not mean that we are not interested in these matters or that we won’t focus or communicate on them at all: it means Aedifica’s efforts regarding those topics would not be as impactful considering our day-to-day operations.

ACTION PLAN FOR 2025

Aedifica has developed a 2025 Action Plan, which was first published in the 2018 Sustainability Report and puts Aedifica’s long-term goals into practice through concrete action points. The plan provides a practical framework for making the real estate portfolio more sustainable by, among other things, investing in energy-efficient systems (such as solar panels, thermal storage facilities, etc.) and for developing the relationship with Aedifica’s various stakeholders (such as employees, shareholders, residents, etc.), while keeping in mind responsible business practices. In the 2021 CSR Report (to be published in June 2022), Aedifica will provide an update on the Group’s progress in implementing the Action Plan and disclose the renewed objectives and actions for the coming years.

Aedifica commits to achieving net zero emissions for its entire portfolio by 2050 to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement and thus contribute to addressing the climate crisis. Our action plan sets out how we will deliver on our promise to reduce the environmental footprint of our portfolio and that of our tenants.

  • (re)developing energy efficient buildings
  • investing in energy-efficient installations
  • introducing tools for building assessments
  • engaging with our operators to reduce their energy consumption

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE FRAMEWORK

In order to support Aedifica’s commitment to achieving the objectives of its Action Plan, the Group has developed a Sustainable Finance Framework (on which a Secondary Party Opinion has been obtained). The proceeds from the financial instruments that will be issued under this framework are used exclusively for the (re)financing of sustainable buildings, projects concerning energy efficiency and projects of a social nature. To be eligible for this type of financing, the buildings or projects must meet the sustainability criteria described in the Sustainable Finance Framework. These criteria are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In September 2021, Aedifica successfully issued its first benchmark Sustainability Bond under its Sustainable Finance Framework for a total amount of €500 million. See page 50.

OUR PATHWAY TO CARBON NEUTRALITY

Reducing the impact of global warming will largely depend on further eliminating greenhouse gas emissions as a result of energy consumption. The scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions of our business activities are very limited. Aedifica is not directly involved in the operations of its care homes (generating scope 3 downstream emissions). As the operators are responsible for the daily management and maintenance of the buildings (including the technical equipment) and the way they purchase electricity, the Group only has a limited impact on the direct environmental performance of its buildings. However, as a leading healthcare real estate investor, Aedifica takes responsibility and actively shares its knowledge with its operators on how to develop, maintain and operate our assets in an efficient, safe and sustainable manner. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, Aedifica will be implementing a net zero carbon pathway. Net zero greenhouse gas emissions do not only refer to direct emissions (scope 1), but also to indirect emissions (scopes 2 and 3). Aedifica’s greatest challenge will be to reduce scope 3 downstream carbon emissions (mainly energy consumed by operators and residents) which are more difficult to control. This will require a comprehensive approach and cross-company cooperation, as will be outlined in the pathway¹. In addition, a short-term reduction target of 20% by 2025 has already been set for our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions.

BUILDING ASSESSMENTS FOR FUTUREPROOF ASSETS

Aedifica has developed a Building Assessment framework that provides our technical property management team with a structure to monitor the quality of each building along three essential pillars.

  1. Identifying if sufficient resources are allocated to maintenance
  2. Assessing and benchmarking sustainability performance
  3. Monitoring compliance with all applicable regulations

Under triple net leases, these aspects are normally addressed by the operator, but as an owner Aedifica continues to monitor the quality and implementation of these issues. The sustainability pillar of the building assessment framework provides for the implementation of a sustainable development framework in each country. This framework defines technical requirements regarding energy efficiency, environmental aspects (e.g. measures to reduce water consumption and improve biodiversity), as well as health criteria (e.g. ventilation flow rates for air quality) and quality of life criteria for residents (e.g.# FUTUREPROOF AEDIFICA

BUSINESS REVIEW

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Aedica is committed to bringing together the various stakeholder groups that have an impact on the daily lives of the residents and care sta who live and work in our buildings. The Group wants to be a partner to all these stakeholders, actively listening, sharing information and educating them on the latest trends in the real estate industry. Above all, relationships with our operators and communities are essential to creating long-term sustainable value.

PARTNERS

We continue to engage our partners by reaching out to them proactively and maintaining good relations. In this way, we try to understand their needs and discuss the issues they consider important. This open attitude underpins the Group’s identity and long-term vision.

  • continuously available to operators
  • organising formal and informal contact moments
  • organising satisfaction surveys

OPERATOR ENGAGEMENT: MEASURE SUCCESS

In 2021, an engagement survey to measure the operator satisfaction was organised. Overall, over 100 participants spread over 6 countries have completed the survey, representing a large part of our portfolio. The results of the survey provide useful insights about our current services and interactions, as well as potential additional needs and strategic priorities of operators. These results serve as a basis for improvements to Aedica’s collaboration and dialogue with its tenants.

OPERATOR DAYS

Aedica understands the challenging context in which our operators have to work every day. Their primary concern is providing healthcare to people in need and not necessarily the management and technical maintenance of the buildings. That is why Aedica will be organising Operator Days in every country where it operates. Once every three years, Aedica will invite all representatives of its care properties and share knowledge and best practices on the ecient management of properties, investment in innovation, new real estate-related care solutions and the risks and opportunities of climate change. By organising these Operator Days in each region, we can share knowledge gained in dierent regions and by working with multiple operators.

CONTRIBUTING TO SOCIETY BY PROVIDING QUALITY CARE PROPERTIES

As a healthcare real estate investor, Aedica contributes to a better society by creating innovative residential care concepts for a variety of care clients. Our main focus remains on elderly people requiring dierent types of residential care. However, during the past few years, we have also specialised in other types of housing and care accommodation, such as care facilities for people with disabilities, children day-care centres and schools.

In order to understand and connect with our communities, Aedica stimulates its employees to actively contribute towards the health and well-being of the residents and the communities of the buildings we own. During Community Days, employees will be able to take one day o to invest their time in increasing the attractiveness of our properties, supporting elderly residents or doing other volunteering activities. In 2021, Aedica donated over 55,000 € to charity and non-prot organisations.

  • Boost for talents: an initiative that aims to give equal educational opportunities to young people from disad- vantaged backgrounds.
  • Music: as research shows that music has a positive eect on people suering from dementia, Aedica continued to support the Philomela Foundation, an organisation that provides classical concerts for residents of care homes in the Netherlands. Aedica also organised a series of Christmas concerts.
  • Pegecampus Plauen: Aedica made a donation to this care campus that brings together dierent generations to purchase rehabilitation equipment.
  • In Finland, employees visited a shelter to donate bed linen.

SHARING KNOWLEDGE

Every year we welcome interns to our oces and oer them the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a work environment. In addition, the members of our Executive Committee often share their knowledge at seminars in Belgium and abroad. Aedica CEO Stefaan Gielens is a frequent guest lecturer in the postgraduate programme in real estate studies at KU Leuven. He also regularly partici - pates in panel discussions within the real estate sector, as do other members of the Executive Committee.

SUSTAINABILITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CARE PRINCIPLES

At Aedica, we take ‘housing with care’ seriously in all our business activities. The principles of care that we apply to our real estate portfo- lio are also extended to our own workforce. By paying attention to the health and well-being of our employees and their families, we ensure that Aedica remains an attractive place to work. Through embedding our company values in our operations, we aim to lead the healthcare real estate sector:

OUR VALUES

  • Care
    • Implementing a robust health and well-being programme, developed by and for our employees
    • Providing flexible working conditions so employees have a positive work-life balance
  • Agile
    • Offering employees a development plan that increases personal and professional skills to meet the challenging needs of our industry
    • Having succession planning in place for all key positions

Aedifica Academy is a training programme that not only consists of a number of mandatory trainings on key topics within the company and the industry, but also allows employees to create their own programme for personal and professional development. The Aedifica Academy builds on the Hoivatilat University that our Finnish colleagues established two years ago.

TALENT DEVELOPMENT

At Aedifica, we have created a workplace culture in which employees receive continuous feedback combined with one formal yearly performance review with their manager. Aedifica actively supports internal staff rotation because it tends to lead to improved skills and a better understanding of our company’s culture and internal processes. In addition, Aedifica invests in the talent development of its staff by offering the ‘Aedifica Academy’ training programme.

EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

A Health & Well-being Committee was set up in 2021 and met three times during the year. The Committee includes members of Human Resources, head office employees and representatives from our local teams. The Committee has been working on our community engagement programme and will finalise an action plan in early 2022 based on the findings of the annual employee engagement survey.

Corporate governance statement

As a reference player in the European listed healthcare real estate sector, Aedifica attaches great importance to transparent, ethical and sound governance of the Company based on the conviction that this contributes to sustainable value creation in the long term for all of Aedifica’s stakeholders. The Board of Directors shall ensure that the corporate governance principles and processes developed for this purpose are appropriate for the Company at all times and comply with the applicable corporate governance regulations and standards.

IMPLEMENTED IN 2021

  • New Dealing Code
  • Human Rights Policy
  • Anti-Money Laundering Policy
  • Charter for Responsible Supplier Relations

This chapter provides an overview of the rules and principles on which the Company organises its corporate governance. These rules for transparent, ethical and sustainable governance aimed at long-term value creation for all stakeholders (shareholders, tenants and their residents, employees, the community and the environment) can also be found in Aedifica’s internal policies including:

  • Articles of Association
  • Corporate Governance Charter
  • Dealing Code
  • Code of Conduct
  • Internal procedure for reporting irregularities
  • Remuneration policy
  • Anti-bribery and corruption policy
  • Anti-money laundering policy
  • Internal privacy policy
  • Environmental policy
  • Human rights policy
  • Charter for responsible supplier relations

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

Aedifica has opted for a monistic or one-tier governance structure as stipulated in Articles 7:85 et seq. BCCA. This means that the Company is managed by a Board of Directors that has the power to perform all acts necessary or useful to achieve the purpose of the Company, with the exception of those acts for which the General Meeting is authorised according to the law, and is led by an Executive Committee that has been entrusted by the Board of Directors with the day-to-day management and operational functioning of the Company.

In order to increase the overall effectiveness of the Board of Directors through focus, supervision and monitoring of important areas, the Board has established three specialised committees, consisting mainly of Independent Directors who have the expertise required to be members of such committees, namely the Audit and Risk Committee, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Investment Committee.

As required by RREC legislation and corporate governance rules, the Company also has an independent control function, the effectiveness whereof is ensured by the internal audit, compliance and risk management functions.

As Aedifica’s corporate mission (offering sustainable real estate solutions to professionals whose core business is the provision of care to persons in need throughout Europe) aims to sustainably pursue the interests of all its stakeholders, it has a Sustainability Steering Committee that examines how the Company’s sustainability objectives can be integrated into its policies and is responsible for developing and monitoring the sustainability action plan. The Sustainability Steering Committee’s proposals and plans are validated by the Executive Committee, which regularly reports on these matters to the Board of Directors.

Finally, given the geographical diversity of the countries in which Aedifica operates and in order to exchange relevant experience from these various markets, Aedifica has a G10 group through which the members of the Executive Committee and the country managers meet regularly. This governance structure can be represented schematically as shown hereafter.

APPLICATION OF THE CODE

In accordance with Article 3:6 §2 BCCA and the Royal Decree of 12 May 2019 specifying the code to be complied with regarding corporate governance by listed companies, Aedifica applies the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2020 (‘CG Code 2020’), taking into account the particularities relating to RREC legislation. The CG Code 2020 can be accessed on the website www.corporategovernancecommittee.be. The CG Code 2020 applies the comply or explain principle, whereby deviations from the recommendations must be justified.

On the date of this Annual Financial Report, Aedifica complies with all provisions of the CG Code 2020. The Corporate Governance Charter containing all the information on the governance rules applicable within the Company can be accessed on the Company’s website (www.aedifica.eu).

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Aedifica has implemented an effective internal control and risk management system, as required by the RREC legislation and by corporate governance rules. The development of this internal control and risk management system is the responsibility of Aedifica’s Executive Committee. The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and evaluating the risks the Company may face and for monitoring the effectiveness of internal control.

In accordance with RREC legislation, Aedifica has appointed a risk manager, a compliance officer and an internal auditor.

RISK MANAGER

Ms Ingrid Daerden (CFO, Executive Director and member of the Executive Committee) was appointed risk manager. She ensures the implementation of measures and procedures for identifying, monitoring and avoiding the risks that the Company may face. When risks actually occur, she takes measures to limit the impact of these risks and to assess and monitor their consequences as much as possible.

COMPLIANCE OFFICER

Mr Thomas Moerman (General Counsel) was appointed compliance officer. He ensures that the Company, its Directors, members of the Executive Committee, employees and agents comply with the legal rules relating to the integrity of the Company.

INTERNAL AUDITOR

The person in charge of the internal audit function continuously and independently assesses the activities of the Company and examines the effectiveness of the existing internal control procedures and methods. The internal audit function is performed by an external consultant, BDO Risk Advisory Services (represented by Mr Pierre Poncelet), under the supervision and responsibility of Ms Katrien Kesteloot (Independent Director).

Aedifica bases its risk management and internal control system on the COSO internal control model (Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Threadway Commission - www.coso.org). This model (2013 version) defines the requirements of an effective internal control system by 17 principles spread over five components:

  • internal control environment
  • risk analysis
  • control activities
  • information and communication
  • supervision and monitoring

INTERNAL CONTROL ENVIRONMENT

Principle 1: the organisation demonstrates its commitment to integrity and ethical values.

  • Regarding ethics, Aedifica has several internal policy guidelines that apply to its Directors, members of the Executive Committee and its employees. It has an ethical charter (‘Code of Conduct’) that is part of the Corporate Governance Charter. This Code of Conduct lays down rules on conflicts of interest, professional secrecy, purchase and sale of shares, misuse of corporate property and respect for individuals.# CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Principle 2: the Board of Directors is independent from management and supervises the development and operation of internal controls.

Aedica’s Board of Directors has 11 members, 7 of whom are independent members within the meaning of Article 7:87 §1 BCCA. In view of their experience and their specic proles, the Directors have the necessary competences in the context of the exercise of their mandate (see skills matrix below). The Board of Directors monitors the eectiveness of the risk management and internal control measures taken by the Executive Committee.

Principle 3: the Executive Committee determines, under the supervision of the Board of Directors, the structures, reporting procedures and the appropriate rights and responsibilities to achieve the objectives.

Aedica has a Board of Directors, an Audit and Risk Committee, a Nomination and Remuneration Committee, an Investment Committee and an Executive Committee, the roles of which are described below. In accordance with the RREC legislation, the members of the Executive Committee are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company, on which they report regularly to the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee is also responsible for the implementation and eectiveness of internal control and risk management measures.

102 – AEDIFICA - ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

FUTUREPROOF AEDIFICA LETTER TO THE STAKEHOLDERS AEDIFICA IN 2021 OUR STRATEGY BUSINESS REVIEW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Principle 4: the organisation undertakes to attract, train and retain competent employees within the organisation.

The competence of the Executive Committee and of the sta is ensured by the implementation of recruitment processes based on dened proles and by the organisation of appropriate trainings. Aedica supports the personal development of its employees and oers them a comfortable and stimulating working environment tailored to their needs, by identifying their talents, and by helping to strengthen them. Sta changes are planned based on the career planning of employees and the likelihood of temporary (maternity leave, parental leave, etc.) or permanent (particularly retirement) departures.

Principle 5: the organisation communicates with external parties regarding matters aecting the functioning of internal control.

Each employee has at least one performance interview per year with his or her supervisor, based on a schedule that maps out the relations between the company and the employee. In addition, the remuneration and evaluation policy for the Executive Committee and sta is based on the setting of realistic and measurable objectives. A new benchmark study of the Executive Committee’s remuneration was ordered in early 2022.

NOTE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Principle 6: the organisation describes the objectives clearly enough to be able to identify and evaluate the risks relating to these objectives.

Aedica’s objectives are clearly described in this annual nancial report on pages 34-37. The Company acts with due care in respect of risk culture.

Principle 7: the organisation identies the risks for the achievement of its objectives and analyses these risks to determine how it should manage them.

The Board of Directors identies and evaluates Aedica’s main risks on a quarterly basis and publishes its ndings in the annual and half-yearly nancial reports and interim statements. Risks are also monitored on an ad hoc basis outside the quarterly identication and assessment exercises by the Board of Directors at its meetings. In this respect, Aedica, with the help of a specialised consultant, has initiated in 2020 an in-depth review of its strategic risks. Aedica’s appetite for these risks has been assessed and the controls put in place have been documented. The risk analysis is regularly monitored and gives rise to remediation actions in relation to any identied vulnerabilities. More information on the risks can be found in the ‘Risk factors’ chapter in this annual nancial report.

Principle 8: the organisation pays attention to the risk of fraud when assessing the risks that could jeopardise the achievement of the objectives.

Any attempt to commit fraud is immediately investigated in order to mitigate the potential impact on the Company and to prevent further attempts. At the end of 2020 the Company adopted an anti-bribery and corruption policy and a policy on the prevention on the use of the nancial system for the purposes of money laundering and terrorist nancing. The policies clarify certain rules of conduct for the Company and its employees in these elds.

Principle 9: the organisation identies and assesses changes that could have a signicant impact on the internal control system.

Signicant changes are identied and analysed on a continuous basis by both the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. This analysis is incorporated in the ‘Risk factors’ chapter.

INTERNAL CONTROL ACTIVITIES

Principle 10: the organisation selects and develops control activities that contribute to the mitigation of risks to the achievement of objectives to acceptable levels.

Each acquisition or disposal transaction can be reconstructed as to its origin, the parties involved, its nature, and the time and place at which it was carried out, on the basis of notarial deeds (direct acquisition or by way of contribution in kind, merger, demerger or partial demerger) or private deeds (indirect acquisition), and is subject, prior to its conclusion, to a control of compliance with the Company’s Articles of Association and with the legal and regulatory provisions in force:

  • Review of variances between budget and actuals, on a monthly basis by the Executive Committee, and on a quarterly basis by the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.
  • Daily monitoring of key indicators, such as occupancy rate, trade receivables, aged debtors and cash position.
  • The principle of dual approval:
    • signing of contracts: two Directors jointly or two Executive Committee members acting jointly;
    • approval of invoices: the responsible manager and a member of the Executive Committee, jointly;
    • payment of invoices: accountant in charge of the treasury and CFO (or CEO), jointly;
    • a specic delegation of authority is in place for treasury operations.

In addition, the Company has introduced control measures to address its main nancial risks:

  • interest rate risk: implementation of hedges (mainly IRS and caps), contracted only with reference banks;
  • counterparty risk: use of dierent reference banks to ensure diversication of the origin of bank nancing;
  • currency risk: hedging instruments (mainly forward contracts) are used to hedge against a variation in the £/€ rate on future cash ows in £. A macro-hedge is also put in place to mitigate £/€ variations on the balance sheet. A part of the debt is contracted in £, which allows to mitigate the exchange rate variations on the valuation of the buildings. Following the acquisition of Hoivatilat, Aedica is also exposed to the SEK/€ exchange rate risk.

Principle 11: the organisation selects and develops general IT controls to promote the achievement of its objectives.

The technology used by the Company is selected according to an ‘integrated system approach’. Aedica relies on a fully operational ERP (SAP) to conduct its business. To manage the debt, Aedica uses a treasury management system (Reval) which communicates daily with the ERP. The security of access and the continuity of the systems data are entrusted to a partner based on a ‘service level agreement. In addition, leases are registered, and the most important contracts and documents are adequately preserved outside Aedica’s premises.

Principle 12: the organisation develops control activities with a policy that determines what is expected and with procedures that put that policy into practice.

The formalisation of documentation is part of a continuous process improvement objective, which also considers the balance between formalisation and company size.

AEDIFICA ON STOCK MARKET RISK FACTORS EPRA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INTERNAL INFORMATION

Principle 13: the organisation uses relevant and high-quality information to support the functioning of internal control.

The information system used by the Company enables it to reliable and complete information on a timely basis, meeting both internal control and external reporting needs. Since July 2020, the Company has switched to a single ERP system for the entire group (SAP), except for Hoivatilat.

Principle 14: the organisation communicates internally the information, including the objectives and responsibilities for internal control, that is necessary to support the operation of this internal control.

The internal control information is communicated in a transparent manner within the Company with the aim of clarifying for everyone the organisation’s policies, procedures, objectives, roles and responsibilities. Communication is adapted to the size of the Company and consists mainly of general sta communication, working meetings and email exchanges.

Principle 15: the organisation communicates with third parties on matters that aect the functioning of internal control.# AEDIFICA - ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

BUSINESS REVIEW

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Extensive external communication (for shareholders – publication of occasional and periodic information – but also general communication to other stakeholders) is essential for a listed company and Aedifica is dedicated to it on a daily basis. External communication of internal control follows to the process of preparing and publishing periodic information (drafted by the Executive Committee, reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee and approved by the Board of Directors).

Principle 16: the organisation selects, develops and carries out continuous and/or one-off evaluations to check whether the internal control components are present and whether they are functioning.

In order to ensure that the components of the internal control are properly applied, Aedifica has set up an internal audit function covering its main processes. The internal audit is organised according to a multi-year cycle. The specific scope of the internal audit is determined annually in consultation with the Audit and Risk Committee, the person responsible for the internal audit within the meaning of the RREC legislation (Ms Katrien Kesteloot, Independent Director - see above) and the internal auditor (see above). In view of the independence requirements and taking into account the principle of proportionality, Aedifica has chosen to outsource the internal audit to a specialised consultant who is under the supervision and responsibility of the internal person responsible for the internal audit.

Principle 17: the organisation evaluates and communicates internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action, including effective management and the Board of Directors, as appropriate.

The recommendations issued by internal audit are communicated to the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Committee ensures that the appropriate corrective measures are taken by the management.

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

According to the definition of Euronext, the free float amounts to 100%. There are no preferred shares. Each Aedifica share entitles the holder to one vote at the General Meeting of Shareholders, except in cases of suspension of voting rights provided for by law. There is no legal or statutory limitation of voting rights whatsoever. As of 31 December 2021, Aedifica is not subject to any control within the meaning of Article 1:14 BCCA, and has no knowledge of agreements that could lead to a change of control.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT BOARD

Board Committees

Three specialised committees were established within the Board of Directors: an Audit and Risk Committee, a Nomination and Remuneration Committee and an Investment Committee, which assist and advise the Board of Directors in their specific areas. These committees do not have decision-making authority, but form an advisory body and report to the Board of Directors, which then makes the decisions. All committees are eligible to invite members of the Executive Committee as well as executive and management staff to attend committee meetings and to provide relevant information and insights related to their area of responsibility. Moreover, each committee is entitled to speak to any relevant person without a member of the Executive Committee being present. Each committee can also, at the Company’s expense, seek external professional advice on topics falling under the specific powers of the committee. However, the Chair of the Board of Directors must be informed of this in advance and with due regard at all times given the financial consequences for the Company. After each committee meeting, the Board of Directors receives a report on the findings and recommendations of the relevant committee as well as oral feedback at a subsequent board meeting.

Audit and Risk Committee

As at 31 December 2021, the Audit and Risk Committee consists of three Independent Directors: Ms Willekens (Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee), Ms Kesteloot and Mr Wibaut. Although the CEO and the CFO are not part of the Audit and Risk Committee, they attend the meetings. The current composition of the Audit and Risk Committee and the tasks entrusted to the committee satisfy the conditions imposed by the Law of 17 December 2008 on the establishment of an audit committee within listed and financial companies. Aedifica’s Independent Directors satisfy the criteria set out in Article 7:87 BCCA and Article 3.5 of the CG Code 2020. Moreover, all members of the Audit and Risk Committee have the necessary accounting and audit competence, both due to their level of education and their experience in this matter.

The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its monitoring responsibilities for control purposes in the broadest sense. In general and without prejudice to the organisation of the internal audit function referred to in Article 17 of the RREC Law, the Audit and Risk Committee ensures the internal audit of the Company. The specific tasks of the Audit and Risk Committee may evolve depending on the circumstances. In carrying out its task, the Audit and Risk Committee’s main duties are:

  • monitoring the financial reporting process;
  • monitoring the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems;
  • monitoring internal audit and its effectiveness;
  • monitoring the statutory audit of the annual accounts and the consolidated annual accounts, including monitoring of questions and recommendations formulated by the statutory auditor;
  • external audit, including the assessment and monitoring of the auditor’s independence.

The Audit and Risk Committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on the performance of its duties and in any event when the Board of Directors draws up the annual accounts, consolidated accounts and condensed financial statements intended for publication. The committee met six times during the 2021 financial year. The auditor of the Company was heard two times by the Audit and Risk Committee during the financial year. The task of the Audit and Risk Committee is to monitor the accuracy and veracity of the reporting of the annual and six-monthly accounts, the quality of the internal and external control and the information provided to shareholders and the market. The main points discussed during the 2021 financial year were:

  • quarterly review of the accounts, periodic press releases and financial reports;
  • examination, together with the Executive Committee, of internal management procedures and independent control functions;
  • monitoring of normative and legal developments;
  • discussion of the internal audit report.# CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Although Mr Wibaut (Chair of the Board of Directors) and Mr Gielens (CEO) are not part of this committee, both are invited to participate to some extent in certain meetings of the committee, depending on the topics being discussed.

The current composition of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the tasks entrusted to the committee meet the conditions imposed by the Law of 6 April 2010.

During the financial year 2021, the committee met 8 times, mainly to discuss the following points:
* composition and evaluation of the Board of Directors;
* composition and evaluation of the members of the Executive Committee and their remuneration, including the granting of variable remuneration for the 2021 financial year;
* preparation of the remuneration report; and
* organisation of the Company.

Investment Committee

As at 31 December 2021, the Investment Committee consisted of three Independent Directors and one Executive Director: Mr Franken (Chair of the Investment Committee), Mr Wibaut, Mr Plasman and Mr Gielens.

The Investment Committee is an advisory committee, the task of which consists of advising the Board of Directors on investments and divestments that the Executive Committee submits to the Board of Directors. The intention in setting up the Investment Committee is to speed up the Company’s decision-making process regarding investment and divestment dossiers.

During the 2021 financial year, the committee met 8 times to analyse and evaluate numerous investment opportunities. Additionally, the members of the committee regularly consulted informally (electronically or by telephone) when a formal meeting was not necessary.

DIVERSITY

Aedifica’s Board of Directors strongly believes that diversity (based on, among other things, gender, age, professional background, nationality, culture, etc.), equality of opportunity and respect for human capital form the basis of the proper functioning of the Group at all levels. These values enrich the Company’s vision, exchange of views and internal dynamics and thus contribute to Aedifica’s growth.

Aedifica takes diversity into account when appointing and renewing Directors’ mandates and designating members of the specialised committees and the Executive Committee. This attention to diversity in all its aspects means that there is not so much focus on one aspect of diversity, but always on the complementarity of competences, national and international experience, personalities and profiles in the composition of these bodies, in addition to the expertise and integrity required for the performance of these functions. This objective is put into practice by the Board of Directors by evaluating the existing and required competences, knowledge and experience prior to each appointment.# AEDIFICA

2021 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The result of Aedifica’s special attention to diversity is reflected in the composition of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, which shows diversity in terms of both gender, cultural and academic background and nationality. Pursuant to Article 7:86 BCCA, at least one third of the members of the Board of Directors are of a different gender from the other members. This legal rule does not apply to the Executive Committee; nevertheless, the Company also strives for gender diversity in the composition of the Executive Committee. The precise gender make-up fluctuates over time as positions become vacant and given the complementarity between different members and the Company’s attention to various types of diversity (of which gender is one). In addition to gender diversity and the growing focus on the international composition of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, the Group ensures that its diversity principles regarding age and professional background are also reflected in the composition of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. Both governing bodies are composed of members of different ages with complementary backgrounds, professional experiences and competences (see sections 5.1 and 5.7 above). Aedifica is convinced that diversity principles are not limited to the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee alone. In addition to the diversity criteria required by law, the Group also takes diversity in all its forms into account when selecting its country managers and employees, who form a complementary team with good variation in terms of gender, age, education, cultural background, etc. This stimulates internal creativity and ensures a good mix of experience and innovation.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ AND COMMITTEES’ EVALUATION

Under the leadership of its Chair, the Board of Directors regularly (and at least every three years) evaluates its size, composition, performance and that of its committees. This evaluation has four objectives:
* to assess the functioning of the Board of Directors and its committees;
* to check whether important subjects are thoroughly prepared and discussed;
* to assess each Director’s actual contribution on the basis of his or her attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and committees and his or her constructive contribution to the discussions and decision-making;
* to assess whether the current composition of the Board of Directors and committees is in line with the needs of the Group.

In addition, every five years the Board of Directors evaluates whether the current monistic governance structure of the Company remains appropriate. The Board of Directors is assisted in this evaluation by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and, if necessary, by external experts. The contribution of each Director is regularly evaluated so that the composition of the Board of Directors can, if necessary, be adapted to any changed circumstances. In the event of a reappointment, the contribution and performance of the Director are evaluated on the basis of a predetermined and transparent procedure. The Board of Directors ensures that there are appropriate plans for monitoring the Directors and ensures that the balance of competences and experience in the Board of Directors is maintained in all appointments and reappointments (of both Executive and Non-Executive Directors). Non-Executive Directors regularly evaluate their interaction with the Executive Committee. To this end, they meet at least once a year without the members of the Executive Committee. End of 2020/beginning of 2021 the Board of Directors evaluated its effectiveness and interaction with the Executive Committee in accordance with the formal procedure described in the Corporate Governance Charter (including anonymous survey and feedback sessions on the outcome of the survey). Overall, the Board of Directors was positive about its role, responsibilities, composition and functioning and of that of its committees, as well as about the interaction with the Executive Committee. Moreover, it concluded that each director individually has fulfilled the role of Director in a proper and constructive manner. Items for improvement included amongst others, the further diversification in terms of gender and internationalisation of the Board of Directors. Diversity and complementarity are not limited to the Board of Directors, it is the basis for the whole Aedifica-team.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The table below provides an overview of the Non-Executive Directors’ attendance at Board and committee meetings and the remuneration received for the 2021 financial year as Director of Aedifica. The amounts of the remuneration correspond to the amounts approved by the Ordinary General Meetings referred to above and are, based on a comparative study of Willis Towers Watson of 2020 with the BEL20 companies as reference peer group, below the 25 th percentile of the market. The structure of the remuneration corresponds to the remuneration policy: a fixed cash-based straight forward remuneration. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance-related remuneration (such as bonuses, shares or stock options), benefits in kind, or benefits related to pension plans. Consequently, the ratio of fixed to variable remuneration is 100% fixed and 0% variable. However, in accordance with the remuneration policy and in order to comply with the spirit of principle 7.6 of the 2020 CG Code the Non- Executive Directors are obliged to annually register in the Company’s

Their mandate is remunerated in line with the customary practices that already existed within Hoivatilat prior to the takeover. Mr Huuskonen is one of the three Independent Directors and also acts as vice-chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoivatilat. For this mandate he has received for the financial year 2021 a remuneration of €45,396 (€39,996 fixed; €5,400 attendance fees) which is not reflected in the above table regarding the remuneration of the Aedifica Board mandates. This brings Mr Huuskonen’s total remuneration received from Aedifica (Group) on €93,696.

share register a number of shares equivalent to 10% of their gross annual fixed remuneration as member of the Board of Directors, calculated based on the average stock market price for the month December of the previous year. In application of this rules the Non-Executive Directors other than the Chairperson had to register a minimum of 37 shares in the share register, whereas the Chairperson had to register a minimum of 94 shares. All Non-Executive directors have complied with this rule.These shares must be held in registered form until at least one year after the Non- Executive Director leaves the Board of Directors and, in any case, for at least three years after the shares have been registered. The combination of a xed cash-based remuneration and the obligation for the Non-Executive Directors to invest in the Company’s capital, coupled to a long-term holding obligation of the acquired shares, allows the Company to reward the members of the Board of Directors appropriately for their work based on market-competitive fee levels, whilst also strengthening the link with the Company’s strategy, long-term interest and sustainability.

8.2.1 Aedica’s remuneration philosophy

The main principles underlying Aedica’s remuneration policy for the members of its Executive Committee are based on a balanced approach between market competitive standards, the ratio between xed and variable pay and the economic and social contribution of the Company linked to certain non-nancial parameters of the variable pay:

  • compensation at market-competitive levels (considering both xed and variable components of remuneration), achieved by benchmarking against a market peer group;
  • pay-for-performance that drives financial and non-financial performance and generates long-term sustainable and protable growth. The remuneration target aims for 55% of total compensation in base salary and 45% in short- and long-term variable compensation in order to maintain a strong alignment with the Company’s nancial performance goals, its long-term value creation strategy and risk tolerance. Short- and long-term variable remuneration are weighted equally (50/50);
  • dierentiation based on experience and responsibility, such that the compensation of individual members of the Executive Committee is aligned with their respective responsibilities, relevant experience, required competencies and performance;
  • balancing all stakeholders’ interests, with due consideration to shareholder and societal views, by complying with best practices in corporate governance, dening targets for the variable compensation plans based on nancial and non-nancial targets and a transparent, simple and clear remuneration policy.

8.2.2 Remuneration structure

8.2.2.1 Fixed remuneration

The xed remuneration consists of a xed cash remuneration, as set out in the management agreements with individual members of the Executive Committee. Since the nancial year 2009/2010, the Company has also granted to the members of the Executive Committee, as part of their xed remuneration, an annual cash bonus from which net proceeds after taxes are to be used entirely to purchase Aedica shares at a discount. This ‘long-term incentive plan’ was rst announced in the 2008/2009 Annual Financial Report and is described further hereafter.

  1. Reduced pro rata temporis for the COO to €83,333.33 taking into account the start of his management agreement per 1 March 2021.

Whereas the new remuneration policy (approved by the 2021 General Meeting) provides in a new – performance based – variable long-term incentive plan, the current long-term incentive plan was in line with the remuneration policy nonetheless extended until 2022. The new performance based long-term incentive plan will deliver its rst award only in early 2024, upon completion of the rst three-year performance cycle (2021-2023) and subject to achievement of the KPIs over the performance cycle. Therefore, as explained in the remuneration policy, in order to avoid a material loss in remuneration over the years 2021 and 2022 for the members of the Executive Committee, the current xed long-term incentive plan was extended until 2022 and will cease to exist in 2023.

In that respect, the Board of Directors decided on 16 March 2021 in application of Article 7:91 BCCA and the remuneration policy to grant, within the framework of the annual (current) xed long-term incentive plan, a gross remuneration of €175,000 for the CEO and €100,000 for each other member of the Executive Committee¹ for the period 1 January 2021 until 31 December 2021 under the terms and conditions as explained hereafter (the ‘2021 LTIP’).

After deducting withholding taxes, the executives purchased shares at a unit price equal to the last known closing share price multiplied by a factor amounting to 100/120 th , in accordance with comment 36/16 of the Belgian Income Tax Code, i.e., at a share price of €84.25 (the closing share price on 15 April 2021 of €101.10, multiplied by 100/120).

In execution of this ‘long-term incentive plan’, the CEO acquired 964 shares, the CFO 552 shares, the CLO/CM&AO and CIO 551 shares and the COO 459 shares. The 2021 LTIP provides for a vesting scheme spread over a three-year period (year 0: 0% vested; year 1: 20% vested; year 2: 50% vested; year 3: 100% vested) and for vesting conditions that are aligned with what is market practice and generally considered to be acceptable, in line with the terms and conditions of the previous long term incentive plans as adapted by decision of the Board of Directors of 17 December 2020 to accommodate shareholders concern (see remuneration report 2019/2020) (in particular the removal of the takeover and change of control clauses from the good leaver exceptions).

Save for indexation, the amounts of the xed cash remuneration did not change compared to the nancial year 2019/2020 (except for the increase of the xed remuneration of the CIO to align it more closely with the remuneration of the other members of the Executive Committee – as announced in the remuneration report 2019/2020). The amounts under the long-term incentive plan 2021 are also equal to the previous plan.

The members of the Executive Committee receive no additional compensation to carry out the duties related to their oce as Director of Aedica and its subsidiaries and receive no remuneration from Aedica’s subsidiaries.

8.2.2.2 Variable remuneration

Short-term variable remuneration

As described in the remuneration policy, the members of the Executive Committee are entitled to an annual bonus subject to the realisation of both collective and personal objectives. The target bonus for performance is equal to 40% of xed annual remuneration. For actual performance below the dened threshold, no bonus is due. Moreover, the actual bonus is capped at a maximum of 50% of annual xed remuneration paid for performance at, or in excess of the maximum recognised performance level. The aggregate annual bonus may thus vary between 0% and 50% of the xed annual remuneration, depending on the realisation of the performance targets. The targets, thresholds and maximum performance levels are determined each year at the beginning of the annual performance cycle.The actual bonus earned is determined based on the following balanced mix of collective and personal, financial and non-financial key performance indicators (KPIs) and their corresponding weighting factors (% weight shown in brackets):
Collective KPIs (85%)
Personal KPIs (15%)
EPS (70%)
Operating margin (15%)

Long-term variable remuneration

As described in the remuneration policy, the members of the Executive Committee are entitled to a long-term incentive award that is granted conditionally, the vesting of which is contingent on the realisation of key performance indicators (KPIs) over a period of three years (the performance cycle). The target incentive award for performance is equal to 40% of the annual fixed remuneration at the time of granting. For actual performance below the retained threshold performance level defined, no award is due. Moreover, the actual award is capped at a maximum 50% of the annual fixed remuneration at grant which is paid for actual performance at or in excess of the maximum recognised performance level. The aggregate long-term incentive may thus vary between 0 and 50% of the annual fixed remuneration at grant, depending on the realisation of the targets. The actually earned incentive award is determined on the basis of the following mix of collective, financial and non-financial, KPI-types (key performance indicators) and corresponding weighting factors:

Financial KPI type (70%)
Non-financial KPI type (30%)
Relative shareholder return
Earnings per share
Dividend per share
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria

The Board of Directors determines for each three-year performance cycle the specific nancial and non-nancial KPIs (and their respective target, threshold and maximum performance levels recognised) selected within the framework of the above-mentioned KPI-types. The incentive award is paid out in cash at the beginning of the year following the performance cycle, subject to applicable tax and social security regulations. The members of the Executive Committee can opt to invest the net cash award (after deduction of withholding tax), to acquire Company shares at 100/120 th of the market share price, provided that the Company shares are made unavailable and are not transferable during a period of at least 2 years following the acquisition of the shares.

  1. The mandate of Mr Thomassen started on 1 March 2021. On 30 March 2021 the Board of Directors selected the specific KPIs for the rst performance cycle of the long-term incentive plan (period 2021- 2023) within the range of categories of nancial and non-nancial KPIs set out in the Remuneration Policy. The realisation of the KPIs for this performance cycle of the long-term incentive plan will be evaluated early 2024. A rst payment under this plan (insofar as the KPIs are achieved) will take place in 2024.
Period 1 January 2021 – 31 December 2023 Relative weighting Achievement on 31 December 2021

Average EPS growth (CAGR) 70% Performance period ongoing
Non-financial KPI

8.2.2.3 Post-retirement benefits

The members of the Executive Committee benefit from a group insurance policy consisting of a ‘defined-contribution scheme’, managed through private insurance plans with a guaranteed return. The contributions under this pension scheme are exclusively nanced by the Company and do not require personal contributions from the beneciaries.

8.2.2.4 Other components of the remuneration

The members of the Executive Committee benefit from hospitalisation and invalidity insurance and coverage for accidents at work. Each Executive Manager benefits from a company car. In the 2021 nancial year, the cost to the Company (rental charge and petrol) was €16,665 excl. VAT for the CEO and a combined total of €60,395 excl. VAT for the other Executive Managers. Each Executive Manager also uses a company provided laptop and a smartphone. Moreover, the Company grants each executive a xed allowance for representation expenses of €300 per month.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For information purposes, note that the ratio between the total remuneration of the CEO for 2021 and the average remuneration of personnel amounts to 8; the ratio between the total remuneration of the CEO for 2021 and the lowest remuneration of personnel amounts to 26.

8.2.4 Contractual provisions of the management agreements

8.2.4.1 Termination of management agreements

The management agreements signed with the members of the Executive Committee may be terminated either by each party giving notice according to the applicable legal and contractual conditions, or in the following circumstances:
• immediately in case of serious misconduct;
• immediately in the event that the market authority (FSMA) withdraws the t and proper approval of the Executive Committee member;
• immediately if the Executive Committee member does not act as Executive Committee member during a period of 3 months, except in case of illness or accident;
• immediately if the Executive Committee member cannot act as Executive Committee member during a period of 6 months, in case of illness or accident.

The only case in which a contractual indemnity granted to a member of the Executive Committee could exceed 12 months of remuneration is in the event that the management agreement with the CEO is terminated by Aedica within six months after a change of control (including a public takeover bid) and without serious fault on the part of the CEO; in this case, the CEO is eligible to obtain an indemnity equal to 18 months’ remuneration. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee recalls that this clause was included in the management agreement signed with the CEO in 2006. In accordance with article 12 of the Act of 6 April 2010, this indemnity payment does therefore not require approval by the General Meeting. Since then, no such contractual clauses have been included in the agreements concluded with (other) members of Aedica’s Executive Committee. In 2021 there were no departures from the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee and no severance payments have therefore been paid.

8.2.4.2 Clawback

In line with the remuneration policy, the management agreements with the members of the Executive Committee provide for a clawback mechanism for both the (performance based) short- and long-term incentive plans whereby the Company has the right to reclaim from the beneciary all or part of a variable remuneration up to 1 year after payment if it appears during that period that payment has been made based on incorrect information concerning the achievement of the performance targets underlying the variable remuneration or concerning the circumstances on which the variable remuneration was dependent. There were no circumstances in 2021 which could have resulted in the use of the clawback.

8.2.5 Share ownership requirement

All members of the Executive Committee possess the minimum number of shares in the Company as stipulated by the remuneration policy (see pages 104-107 for specic number of shares held), except for Mr Thomassen who only took up his position as COO and member of the Executive Committee on 1 March 2021 and has until 28 February 2026 to reach the minimum threshold.# AEDIFICA - ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

In an interest to increase transparency of past, current and future remuneration and in alignment with investor interests and the legislative environment, the table on the opposite page demonstrates the change of remuneration for members of the Board of Directors, the CEO and each of the other members of the Executive Committee (in office over the past financial year) in comparison to performance of the Group and average remuneration of Aedifica employees over a 5-year period. The Non-Executive Directors have always received a fixed remuneration (annual remuneration + attendance fee) in cash. Since the financial year 2015/2016, the amounts of (elements of) the remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors have only been changed further to decisions of the General Meetings of 28 October 2016 ¹, 22 October 2019 ² and 11 May 2021 ³.

  1. Decision of the Ordinary General Meeting of 28 October 2016 to increase 1) the fixed annual remuneration of (i) the Chair of the Board of Directors from €13,600 to €50,000, (ii) the Chairs of the Board Committees from €11,330 to €25,000 and (iii) the other Directors from €11,330 to €15,000, and 2) the attendance fees per Director per meeting for meetings of (i) the Board of Directors from €850 to €1,000 and (ii) the Board Committees from €800 to €900.
  2. Decision of the Ordinary General Meeting of 22 October 2019: 1) to increase the fixed annual remuneration of the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee from €10,000 to €15,000 (resulting in a total fixed annual remuneration as Director and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee of €30,000); and 2) to grant an additional fixed annual remuneration of €5,000 to each other member of the Audit and Risk Committee.
  3. Decision of the Ordinary General Meeting of 11 May 2021 to increase 1) the fixed annual remuneration by €40,000 from €50,000 to €90,000 for the chairperson of the Board of Directors and 2) the fixed annual remuneration by €20,000 from €15,000 to €35,000 for each other Non-Executive Director.

Finally, the numbers in the below table are also influenced by:
* the decision of the Board of Directors of 22 October 2019 to grant to Mr Hohl, Non-Executive Director at that time, an additional fixed annual remuneration of €5,000 for his special assignment at that time as responsible for the internal audit (in accordance with Article 17 of the RREC legislation), due until the end of this director mandate (26 October 2020);
* the remuneration of Mr Franken in his capacity as Director of Immobe NV/SA on behalf of the Company in accordance with article 73 of the RREC Law (according to which an Independent Director of Aedifica had to sit in the Board of Immobe as (then) Institutional RREC) for the period from 31 October 2018 until 27 March 2019 (including) (total remuneration for the aforementioned period of €6,000 fixed remuneration and €4,000 attendance fees); and
* the expansion of the Board of Directors on 8 June 2020 with Mr Pertti Huuskonen, independent Non-Executive Director.

Other than that, the changes to the remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors vary thus only from year to year in view of the number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Board committees and attendance rates.

Annual change in % FY 2016/2017 vs 2015/2016 FY 2017/2018 vs 2016/2017 FY 2018/2019 vs 2017/2018 FY 2019/2020 ⁴ vs 2018/2019 FY 2021 vs 2019/2020

Average remuneration on a full-time equivalent basis of employees of Aedifica NV/SA
Employees of the Company 13.8% 4.6% 17.7% 13.1% 4%
  1. For comparative purposes, the remuneration paid by the Company over the extended financial year 2019/2020 (running from 1 July 2019 until 31 December 2020) was annualised from 18 months to 12 months.
  2. No comparison can be made since Mr Thomassen’s mandate only started on 1 March 2021.
  3. The substantial change in remuneration can be explained by the changed composition of the Executive Committee which increased in number of members (from 4 to 6 members).
  4. The change in remuneration can be explained by an increase in the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee as from 1 July 2019 as decided by the Board of Directors during the financial year 2018/2019 on the basis of a benchmark performed by the independent specialist consultant Willis Towers Watson in 2019. The benchmark group consisted of 32 companies from Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands: AG Real Estate, Ascencio, Atenor, Banimmo, Befimmo, Cofinimmo, Home Invest, Immobel, Leaseinvest, Montea, Warehouses De Pauw, GAGFAH M Immobilien-Management, LEG Immobilien, Altarea Cogedim, Crédit Agricole Immobilier, Icade, Orpea, Poste Immo, Société Foncière Lyonnaise, Altera Vastgoed, Redevco, Vastned Groep, Wereldhave, Alinso Group, Codic International, Deutsche Wohnen, Hochtief, Foncière des Régions, Gécina, Klépierre, Unibail Rodamco and OVG Real Estate.
  5. The downwards change in total remuneration of the Executive Committee can be explained by (i) Raoul Thomassen’s mandate as COO and member of the Executive Committee which only started as from 1 March 2021 and (ii) the remuneration base for the extended FY 2019/2020 which is equal to the received remuneration over 18 months annualised on 12 months.
  6. The calculation for the financial year 2019/2020 is based on annualised figures, except for the first two parameters (investment properties including assets held for sale/+ work in progress), which are based on the balance sheet total as at 31 December 2020.
  7. The average remuneration of employees is calculated on the basis of ‘wages and direct social benefits’ on an annual basis divided by the number of employees on an annual basis.

8.4.1 Non-Executive Directors

The level of remuneration is regularly assessed and benchmarked against a market peer group in order to enable the Company to continue to attract and retain internationally experienced director profiles for the Company, taking into account and evolving with the size, growth and internationalisation of the Company. The last benchmark was conducted in 2020. No change is foreseen in the remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors in 2022.

8.4.2 Members of the Executive Committee

The Board of Directors sets the fixed remuneration annually, taking into account factors such as:
* position and corresponding responsibilities;
* experience and competencies;
* applicable (social and tax) regulations;
* international growth of the Company;
* performance of the Company;
* benchmarks with peers provided by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (ensuring that the Company can attract and retain experienced executive profiles).

The annual fixed remuneration may be reviewed and adapted taking into account the preceding factors and within the framework of the approved remuneration policy. The Board of Directors ordered in that respect a benchmark study from the independent specialist consultant Willis Towers Watson that will be executed in the first half of 2022 in order to assess the market conformity of the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee. In accordance with his management agreement, Mr Thomassen is contractually entitled to a step-up in his fixed remuneration after the expiry of one year in office (i.e. as from 1 March 2022). Finally, the Board of Directors decided on 22 February 2022 in application of the Article 7:91 BCCA and within the framework of the remuneration policy to grant to the members of the Executive Committee for the financial year 2022, within the context of the (current) annual long-term incentive plan, a gross remuneration of €175,000 (+ indexation over 2021) for the CEO and €100,000 (+ indexation over 2021) for each other member of the Executive Committee, under the same terms and conditions as in the ‘2021 LTIP’ of which the net proceeds will have to be entirely used to acquire Aedifica shares (as described above). In accordance with the remuneration policy, this fixed long-term incentive plan will cease to exist in 2023 and was thus awarded for the last time for 2022 by the above Board decision (see above).

Transactions with the Company

The Directors, the members of the Executive Committee, the persons entrusted with the day-to-day management, the Executive Managers and the mandataries of the Company cannot act as counterparty in transactions with the Company or with a company that controls it, nor can they derive any benefit from transactions with the above-mentioned companies, except when the transaction is carried out in the interest of the Company, within the planned investment policy and in accordance with normal market conditions. Where appropriate, the Company must inform the FSMA of such transactions in advance.The transactions referred to in the first paragraph, as well as the information referred to in the prior notification, are immediately made public and are explained in the annual financial report and, where appropriate, in the half-year financial report. The prior notification does not apply to transactions provided for in Article 38 of the Law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies. Article 7:96 BCCA and Article 7:97 BCCA remains fully applicable, as does Article 37 of the above-mentioned Law. During the 2021 financial year, there was no conflict of interest whatsoever regarding a real estate transaction. The two conflicts of interest that occurred during the financial year related to the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee. These are explained below.

Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of 16 March 2021

In accordance with article 7:96 of the Belgian Code on Companies and Associations and article 37 of the Belgian Regulated Real Estate Act, Mr Stefaan Gielens, Ms Ingrid Daerden, Mr Sven Bogaerts and Mr Charles- Antoine van Aelst each declared that they have a possible interest of a patrimonial nature which conflicts with the Company’s interest, about which they will inform the Statutory Auditor. Mr Raoul Thomassen, who is not a member of the Board of Directors (and thus has no conflict of interest within the meaning of article 7:96 of the Belgian Code on Companies and Associations), also declared – in his capacity of member of the Executive Committee and effective leader – to have an interest of a patrimonial nature that conflicts with the Company’s interest within the meaning of article 37 of the Belgian Regulated Real Estate Act. This conflict of interest arises because the Board of Directors will deliberate and resolve on certain elements of the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee. All members of the Executive Committee then leave the meeting.

Short term variable remuneration for the ExCom members for the period Q5/Q6 of financial year 2019/2020

The Board of Directors has set on 22 September 2020 in line with the remuneration practice at that time the key performance indicators (KPIs) and performance targets for the variable remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee for the period from 1 July 2020 until 31 December 2020 (which have been included in the addenda to the management contracts).

  • The variable remuneration for the period 1 July 2020 – 31 December 2020 was established as a (gross) amount capped at 50% of the total remuneration over the same period, excluding benefits in kind, the pension plan and the long-term incentive plan (the ‘theoretical variable remuneration’);
  • The retained key performance indicators (and their weighting) for the variable remuneration were as follows: the (consolidated) EPRA Earnings* per share (weighting 80%), the consolidated operating margin* (operating result before result on portfolio divided by net rental result) (weighting 20%).

The realisation of the performance targets and the proposed amounts to be granted to the members of the Executive Committee have been the subject of an overall evaluation by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on 12 March 2021 on the basis of the financial figures as approved by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2021. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee notes that the members of the Executive Committee have exceeded the performance targets and proposes consequently to the Board of Directors to grant to the CEO and the other members of the Executive Committee the maximum amount of the variable remuneration for the covered period. For the avoidance of doubt, the former COO shall be entitled to the variable remuneration only pro rata temporis for the duration of her mandate (namely, for the period 1 July 2020 – 31 October 2020); the new COO does not yet benefit from this variable remuneration (as he only started his mandate as from 1 March 2021). The Board of Directors approves the proposal of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Remuneration policy

The draft remuneration policy (applicable as from 1 January 2021 subject to approval by the General Meeting) was approved by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2021 save for the (types of) KPIs of the short- and long-term incentive plan which still had to be decided by the Board of Directors. Upon deliberation, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee now proposes the following (types of) KPIs and respective relative weighting, to be included in the remuneration policy:

Short-term incentive

Collective KPIs (85%)
EPS (70%)
Operating margin (15%)
Personal KPIs (15%)
Personal targets supporting the Company’s strategic imperatives

The target, threshold and maximum performance levels will be determined each year by the Board of Directors at the beginning of the annual performance cycle (see agenda item 2.e).

Long-term incentive

Financial KPI type (70%) Non-Financial KPI type (30%)
Relative shareholder return Earnings per share

The Board of Directors will determine for each three-year performance cycle the specific financial and non-financial KPIs (and their respective target, threshold and maximum recognised performance levels) selected within the framework of the above-mentioned KPI-types. The Board of Directors approves this proposal of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and its elaboration in the remuneration policy.

Long-term remuneration for the ExCom members: LTIP 2021 (transition regime)

Since the newly proposed long-term incentive plan will deliver its first award only early 2024, after the expiration of the first three-year performance cycle (2021-2023) and subject to achievement of the KPIs over the covered performance cycle, it is proposed in the new remuneration policy to extend the current long-term incentive plan for the coming two years in 2021 and 2022, in order to avoid a material loss in remuneration for the members of the Executive Committee in 2021 and 2022. In application thereof, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee proposes to grant to the members of the Executive Committee the right to participate in a ‘long term incentive plan’ for the financial year 2021, under the same terms and conditions as the previous long term incentive plan (i.e., the 2020 LTIP), for a gross amount equal to the gross amount of the 2020 LTIP, but annualised (recall that the 2020 LTIP only covered the last 6 months of the extended financial year 2019/2020), namely a gross amount of €175,000 for the CEO and €100,000 for each other member of the Executive Committee. Upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors decides in application of article 7:91 BCCA to grant to the members of the Executive Committee the right to participate in a ‘long term incentive plan’ for the financial year 2021 for a gross amount of €175,000 for the CEO and €100,000 for each other member of the Executive Committee, under the same terms and conditions as the 2020 LTIP.

Short-term variable remuneration for the ExCom members for the financial year 2021: KPIs + performance levels

In accordance with the remuneration policy (as approved by the Board of Directors – see supra), the KPIs and their respective relative weighting for the short-term variable annual bonus of the members of the Executive Committee are as follows:

Collective KPIs (85%)
EPS (70%)
Operating margin (15%)
Personal KPIs (15%)
Personal targets supporting the Company’s strategic imperatives

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has made a proposal on the performance levels (target, minimum threshold and maximum performance level) and corresponding bonus levels of the collective KPIs under the short-term variable bonus which is discussed by the Board of Directors. As described in the remuneration policy, the target bonus for target performance is 40% of the annual fixed remuneration. Since no bonus is due for actual performance below the retained threshold level, and in case of performance at, or in excess of the maximum recognised performance level, the bonus is capped at a maximum of 50% of the annual fixed remuneration, the variable short-term bonus will consequently vary between 0 and 50% of the annual fixed remuneration, depending on the realisation of the targets. Upon deliberation, the Board of Directors approves the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s proposal and requests the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to prepare the addenda to the management agreements to include this decision.

Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of 30 March 2021

In accordance with article 7:96 of the Belgian Code on Companies and Associations and article 37 of the Belgian Regulated Real Estate Act, Mr Stefaan Gielens, Ms Ingrid Daerden, Mr Sven Bogaerts and Mr Charles- Antoine van Aelst each declared that they have a possible interest of a patrimonial nature which conflicts with the Company’s interest, about which they will inform the Statutory Auditor. Mr Raoul Thomassen, who is not a member of the Board of Directors (and thus has no conflict of interest within the meaning of article 7:96 of the Belgian Code on Companies and Associations), also declared – in his capacity of member of the Executive Committee and effective leader – to have an interest of a patrimonial nature that conflicts with the Company’s interest within the meaning of article 37 of the Belgian Regulated Real Estate Act. This conflict of interest arises because the Board of Directors will deliberate and resolve on certain elements of the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee.## Long-term variable remuneration for the ExCom members for the performance cycle 2021-2023: KPIs + performance levels

In accordance with the remuneration policy (as approved by the Board of Directors), the specific KPIs and performance levels for the performance cycle 2021-2023 in the context of the long-term variable remuneration for the members of the Executive Committee should be based on the following mix of collective financial and non-financial types of KPIs and their respective relative weighting:

Financial KPI type (70%) Non-Financial KPI type (30%)
Relative shareholder return Earnings per share
Dividend per share Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has made on that basis a proposal on the specific KPIs, applicable performance levels (target, minimum threshold and maximum performance level) and corresponding bonus levels for the performance cycle 2021-2023 which is discussed by the Board of Directors. As described in the remuneration policy, the variable long-term bonus will vary between 0 and 50% of the annual fixed remuneration at grant, depending on the realisation of the targets: no bonus is due for actual performance below the retained threshold level; in case of performance at, or in excess of the maximum recognised performance level, the bonus is capped at a maximum 50% of the annual fixed remuneration at grant. Upon deliberation, the Board of Directors approves the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s proposal for the performance cycle 2021-2023 and requests the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to prepare the addenda to the management agreements to include this decision.

COMPLIANCE

The independent compliance function is performed in accordance with Article 17 of the Law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies (see above). Mr Thomas Moerman, General Counsel, performs the function of compliance officer. His duties include monitoring compliance with the rules of conduct and the declarations relating to transactions in shares of the Company carried out by Directors and other persons appointed by the latter on their own account in order to limit the risk of insider trading.

Monitoring transactions with Aedifica shares

The compliance officer draws up the list of persons who have information that they know or should know is privileged information and updates this list. He ensures that the persons concerned are informed of their inclusion on that list. In addition, he ensures that the Board of Directors determines the so-called ‘closed periods’. During these periods, transactions in Aedifica’s financial instruments or financial derivatives are prohibited for Aedifica’s Directors and for all persons on the aforementioned list, as well as for all persons with whom they are closely linked. The closed periods are as follows:

  • the 30 calendar days preceding the publication date of the annual and half-year results;
  • the 15 calendar days preceding the publication date of the quarterly results;
  • any period during which inside information is known;
  • any other period that the compliance officer considers to be a sensitive period, taking into account the developments occurring within the Company at that moment; always ending one hour after publication of the annual, half-year or quarterly results respectively by means of a press release on the Company’s website.

Restrictions on transactions by Directors and members of the Executive Committee

Directors, members of the Executive Committee and persons closely related to them who intend to carry out transactions involving financial instruments or financial derivatives of Aedifica must notify the compliance officer in writing at least 48 hours before the transactions are carried out. If the compliance officer himself intends to carry out such transactions, he must notify the chair of the Board of Directors in writing at least 48 hours before the transactions are carried out.

CAPITAL INCREASES AND EXPLANATION OF THE CAPITAL INCREASES EFFECTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 7:203 BCCA, the Board of Directors gives an explanation below of the capital increases decided upon by the Board of Directors during the financial year and, where applicable, gives an appropriate explanation regarding the conditions and actual consequences of the capital increases, whereby the Board of Directors limited or excluded the shareholders’ preferential right.

Pursuant to a decision by the Board of Directors of 9 June 2021 to increase the capital within the scope of the authorised capital by contribution in cash, with cancellation of the legal preferential right and without allocation of an irreducible priority allocation right, the capital (see section 3.2 of the Financial Report) was increased on 15 June 2021 by €73,885,794.65 to bring it from €873,081,308.72 to €946,967,103.37. 2,800,000 new shares, with no nominal value, were issued. Those new shares will participate pro rata temporis in the Company’s profits for the 2021 financial year as from 15 June 2021.

Within the scope of the authorised capital (see section 3.2 of the Financial Report), and by a decision of the Board of Directors of 29 June 2021, the capital was increased by €4,868,335.01 to bring the amount of €946,967,103.37 to €951,835,438.38 via a contribution in kind. 184,492 new shares, with no nominal value, were issued. They are of the same type and enjoy the same rights and benefits as existing shares. Those new shares will participate pro rata temporis in the Company’s profits for the 2021 financial year as of 15 June 2021.

Within the scope of the authorised capital (see section 3.2 of the Financial Report), and by a decision of the Board of Directors of 8 September 2021, the capital was increased by €6,256,358.83 to bring the amount of €951,835,438.38 to €958,091,797.21 via a contribution in kind. 237,093 new shares, with no nominal value, were issued.

An appropriate explanation regarding the conditions and the actual consequences of the capital increase of 15 June 2021, whereby the preferential right of the shareholders was cancelled without allocation of an irreducible priority allocation right, is given in the special report of the Board of Directors drawn up in application of Article 7:179, §1, first paragraph and Article 7:191, second paragraph of the BCCA dated 15 June 2021. In the event of a capital increase via contribution in kind, the shareholders have no preferential right and no special report is drawn up in application of Article 7:191 BCCA.

Rules for the appointment and replacement of the members of the management body and for the amendment of Aedica’s Articles of Association

Appointment and replacement of the members of the management body

In accordance with Article 10 of the Articles of Association, the members of the Board of Directors are appointed for a maximum term of three years by the General Meeting of Shareholders, which can also remove them at any time. They may be re-elected. The mandate of the outgoing and non-re-elected directors ends immediately after the General Meeting that provides for the new appointments. If one or more mandates become vacant, the remaining Directors, meeting in council, can provisionally provide for replacement until the next General Meeting, which then decides on the nal appointment. This right becomes an obligation each time the number of Directors eectively in oce or the number of Independent Directors no longer reaches the statutory minimum. A Director appointed to replace another person shall complete the mandate of the person he or she replaces.

Amendments to the Articles of Association

As regards amendments to the Articles of Association, reference is made to the regulations applicable to Aedica. In particular, it should be noted that any draft amendment to Aedica’s Articles of Association must be approved in advance by the FSMA.

Powers of the management body, in particular regarding the possibility of issuing or repurchasing shares

In accordance with Article 6.4 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is authorised to increase the capital one or more times, on the dates and according to the modalities determined by the Board of Directors, up to a maximum amount of:

  1. 50% of the capital amount on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 30 July 2021, rounded down to the euro cent, if applicable, for capital increases by way of contribution in cash, whereby a provision is made for the possibility of exercising the statutory preferential subscription right or the priority allocation right by the shareholders of the Company;
  2. 50% of the capital amount on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 30 July 2021, rounded down to the euro cent, if applicable, for capital increases within the scope of the distribution of an optional dividend;
  3. 10% of the capital amount on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 30 July 2021, 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 the irreducible priority allocation right, or
    c) any other form of capital increase;

on the understanding that the capital within the scope of the authorised capital can never be increased by an amount higher than the capital on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting that approves the authorisation. This permission is granted for a renewable period of 5 years, starting from the publication of the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 30 July 2021 in the Appendices to the Belgian Ocial Gazette.

As at 31 December 2021, the balance of the authorised capital amounts to:

  1. €475,917,719.19 if the capital increase to be realised provides for the possibility of the shareholders of the Company exercising the preferential right or the irreducible priority allocation right,
  2. €475,917,719.19 for capital increases within the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend, and
  3. €88,927,185 for
    a. capital increases by way of contribution in kind,
    b. capital increases by way of contribution in cash without the possibility of the shareholders of the Company exercising the preferential right or the irreducible priority allocation right, or
    c. any other form of capital increase.

Taking into account the total maximum amount of the authorised capital (€951,835,438.38), the Company is able to raise its capital by €945,579,079.55. Moreover, in accordance with Article 6.2 of the Articles of Association, Aedica can acquire, pledge or dispose of its own shares, in accordance with the conditions provided for in the Belgian Companies and Associations Code, subject to notication of the transaction to the FSMA. As at 31 December 2021, Aedica had pledged none of its own shares.

Important agreements to which Aedica is a party and which enter into force, are amended or expire in the event of a change of control over Aedica following a public takeover bid

It is common practice that credit agreements contain so-called change of control clauses that allow the lender to demand immediate repayment of the outstanding loans, interest and other outstanding amounts in the event of a change of control over the Company. The following credit agreements contain such change of control clauses:

  • the credit agreements with BNP Paribas Fortis established on 15 June 2016, 24 February 2017, 14 November 2017, 31 October 2019 and 23 June 2021;
  • the credit agreements with KBC Bank established on 28 June 2016, 12 November 2019 and 8 June 2021;
  • the credit agreements with Caisse d’Epargne Hauts De France established on 4 January 2018;
  • the credit agreements with Banque européenne du Crédit Mutuel established on 25 May 2018 and 21 December 2018;
  • the credit agreements with Belus Bank established on 27 June 2016, 14 May 2018, 21 December 2018, 18 May 2020 and 12 July 2021;
  • the credit agreements with ING Belgium established on 19 February 2016, 20 September 2016, 14 February 2017, 15 May 2018 and 15 July 2021;
  • the credit agreements with BNP Paribas Niederlassung Deutschland established on 6 November 2019;
  • the credit agreements with Triodos Bank established on 3 February 2017 and 15 May 2018;
  • the credit agreements with Argenta Spaarbank and Argenta Assur- anties established on 20 December 2017;
  • the syndicated loan agreement with the BPCE group established on 29 June 2018;
  • the credit agreements with ABN Amro Bank established on 12 March 2021, 27 July 2021 and 22 November 2021;
  • the credit agreements with Société générale established on 13 March 2020 and 31 August 2020;
  • the credit agreements with Hoivatilat and OP Corporate Bank established on 5 March 2021.

In addition, the treasury notes issued on 17 December 2018 under the long-term treasury notes programme contain a change of control clause triggering an increase of the interest margin in the event of change of control over the Company. The Note Purchase Agreement of 17 February 2021 and the debt instruments subsequently issued on 3 March 2021 between the Company and the holders of such debt instruments also contain provisions granting early redemption of the debt instruments in the event of a change of control over the Company. The Sustainability Notes issued by the Company on 2 September 2021 also contain provisions granting early redemption of the debt instruments in the event of a change of control over the Company.

Each of these clauses relating to a change of control was approved by the General Meeting (see minutes of previous General Meetings), with the exception of the clauses included in the credit and debt agreements dating from after the last Ordinary General Meeting of 11 May 2021 and in the above-mentioned Sustainable Note, for which approval of the change of control clause will be requested at the General Meeting of 10 May 2022.

Agreements established between Aedica and its Directors or employees providing for compensation if, following a public takeover bid, the Directors resign or must resign without a valid reason or the employment of the employees is terminated

If the management agreement with the CEO is terminated within six months of a public takeover bid by one of the parties without serious misconduct, the CEO is entitled to a severance payment equal to eighteen months’ remuneration. No such contractual clause was included in the agreements established with the other members of the Executive Committee or with Aedica employees.

€ DIVIDEND PER SHARE

For the financial year 2021, Aedifica’s Board of Directors proposes a gross dividend of €3.40 per share. The dividend will be split between coupon No. 28 (€1.5370 for the period 1 January 2021 to 14 June 2021) and coupon No. 29 (€1.8630 for the period covering 15 June 2021 to 31 December 2021). The dividend will be paid in May 2022, after approval of the financial statements by the General Meeting of 10 May 2022.

As a RREC investing more than 80% of its portfolio in European (residential) healthcare real estate, the withholding tax on dividend for Aedifica’s investors amounts to only 15%⁷. The Belgian government decided in 2021 to increase the threshold to apply the reduced withholding tax rate from 60% to 80% for dividends attributed or made payable as from 1 January 2022. Aedifica is monitoring this threshold in line with the guidelines from the Belgian government.

The total net dividend per share after deduction of the withholding tax of 15 % will amount to €2.89 (€1.3065 for coupon No. 28 and €1.5836 for coupon No. 29).

Risk factors

Aedifica carries out its activities in a constantly changing environment, which implies certain risks. Since the materialisation of these risks could have a negative effect on the Group, they are considered as part of every investment decision. Aedifica aims to manage these risks to the best of its ability. Thus, they are monitored on a regular basis by the Board of Directors and a risk management policy has been put in place, as detailed on page 101 in the ‘Corporate Governance Statement’ chapter.

Risk factors

This chapter only describes the risk factors that are specific and of material importance for Aedifica. This overview is thus not exhaustive and was prepared on the basis of the information that was available as of 18 March 2022. It is acknowledged that other risk factors may exist, which are currently unknown, remote or considered as benign for the Company, its operations and/or its financial position.

RENTAL LEVELS, VACANCY RATES AND PROPERTY VALUES

Rent levels, vacancy rates and property values are highly inuenced by market supply and demand. The principal risks that may arise from this are:

  • a decrease in rental income due to vacancy and turnover costs;
  • a decrease in contractual rents and the value of the portfolio when new leases are established or existing ones renewed;
  • capital losses on disposals;
  • a drop in the rental yield due to higher acquisition prices.

Aedica anticipates these risks by pursuing an investment policy that is diversied in terms of geographical spread, care operators and health- care real estate segments. Each segment of the market in which Aedica invests targets dierent types of tenants and has distinctive character- istics (with respect to regulations, lease terms, tenants’ funding, etc.). Given that rental income comes from long-term leases, the Group has a good view on future revenue streams (the weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) of Aedica’s contracts stands at 20 years). Aedica also intends to continue to expand its portfolio in order to reduce the weight of each individual property, improve asset manage- ment, and increase the operating margin* through economies of scale. To this end, the Group maintains close relations with its main tenants and is advised by qualied local experts in each country. Nevertheless, the Group’s diversication, portfolio growth and asset management cannot fully eliminate the risks outlined above.

CONCENTRATION OF THE TENANT BASE

Given the dynamism of the large care operators and the consolidation that has been going on in the private sector for a number of years, there is a risk of concentration of the tenant base, with a large proportion of the rents coming from a single tenant group. Such a concentration within the portfolio can result from acquisitions by the Group, but can also occur in a passive way through acquisitions and mergers of existing tenants. Concentration of the tenant base can inuence the Group’s degree of diversication and cause a drop in income and cash ows when a ten - ant leaves or experiences nancial diculties. Furthermore, if the 20% diversication threshold set forth in Article 30 of the Belgian Law of 12 May 2014 (RREC law) would be exceeded, the Company would not be allowed to make any investments, divestments or undertake other actions that would result in this percentage increasing further. The impact of tenant concentration on the diversication of Aedica’s tenant base has been oset by the strong growth of the portfolio. The integration of new tenants with solid business models (private as well as non-prot and public operators) provides a better spread of rental income over a larger group of tenants and this has signicantly reduced the concentration risk. On 31 December 2021, Aedica had a diversied tenant base of more than 130 operator groups. The ve largest tenant groups represent 33% of Aedica’s contractual rents and the largest ten- ant group (Korian) represents only 11% (see pages 64-66 of the Property Report for more information on tenant concentration). No tenant group exceeds the statutory limit of 20% of the Group’s consolidated assets.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INFLATION RISK

All rents are subject to indexation (although the indexation mechanism diers between the countries in which the Group operates). Since Aedica’s WAULT stands at 20 years, the future like-for-like evolution of rental income and the valuation of these assets depends to a large extent on ination. The impact of ination on rental income can be sum- marised as follows: an increase in the index of 100 bps would generate approx. €2.6 million in additional rental income. In addition, in a context of increasing nominal interest rates, lower ina - tion implies higher real interest rates, which in turn implies that nancial charges are growing faster than the indexation of rental income. Aedica has taken the necessary steps to mitigate these risks (see section 3.1 – interest rate risk below). However, these measures cannot completely eliminate the ination risk and the risk of higher real interest rates which could have a negative impact on the Group’s assets, business, nancial position and prospects. In the event of negative ination, most contracts, but not all, set a oor at the level of the initial rent.

ECONOMIC RISK

The Group’s activities are impacted by the general economic climate and are subject to economic cycles, as these aect the available income of existing tenants (and hence their ability to meet their nancial com- mitments), the demand for rental properties and the valuation of real estate, as well as the availability and cost of nancing. A downturn in key macroeconomic indicators could have a negative impact on Aed - ica’s business and its development prospects. Furthermore, there is a potential risk that co-contractors (service providers, banks providing credit and hedging, contractors, etc.) default or go bankrupt. To mitigate these risks, Aedica continues to diversify its investments within the limits of its investment strategy, both geographically and in accordance with other diversication themes (including building types, tenants, healthcare real estate segments, possibilities for alternative use, public funding, etc.). Moreover, it should be noted that healthcare real estate is a resilient real estate segment with strong growth poten - tial. This is due to demographically-driven increases in the demand for healthcare properties in the countries where Aedica operates, at the same time as supply tends to stagnate or grow more slowly as a result of restrictions imposed by public authorities. Furthermore, the healthcare sector benets from the long-term support of public authorities that fund care in general, and care dependency in particular, through their social security systems. Despite the Group’s diversication eorts, a negative shift in the main macro-economic indicators or defaults by its various partners may still have a negative impact on the Group’s assets, business, nancial position and prospects. Aedica anticipates risks by pursuing a diversied investment policy in terms of geographical spread, care operators and healthcare real estate segments.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to higher mortality rates in the segment of people aged 80 years and older and has created specic operating challenges and risks for the tenants that operate Aedica’s (elderly care) buildings:

  • sta shortages due to sickness or quarantine measures;
  • higher costs due to protective measures;
  • (temporary) lower occupancy rates due to excess mortality, a negative public perception of residential care for the elderly and temporary admission stops.

These challenges and risks can lead to a decrease in the revenues of Aedica’s tenants and may in turn impact their capacity to pay rent.# 145 AEDIFICA ON STOCK MARKET RISK FACTORS EPRA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

SENSITIVITY TO RENTAL INCOME AND TENANT DEFAULT

This can lead to a temporary or permanent reduction of Aedica’s rental income and can inuence the valuation of its investment properties. As such, the main risk to Aedica that could arise from the COVID-19 pandemic is the impact of the pandemic on other identied risks. The pandemic is evolving quickly and the consequences and risks for Aedica’s tenants are inuenced by various factors and uncertainties: tenant size and solvency, (local) governmental measures, local spread of the virus and (local) lock-down measures, availability of sta, perception of the public vis-à-vis the sector, (booster) vaccination programmes, etc. In the long term, the pandemic can also have an impact on the nancing systems of the healthcare sector. The consequences of these risks for the Group (should they occur) cannot be predicted at this stage given their uncertain nature. However, due to the (continued) ageing of the European population (see page 86), the pandemic will not have a material impact on the long-term demand for healthcare real estate. As of 31 December 2021, the pandemic had no material impact on the results of the Group (also see page 49).

Aedica’s total turnover consists of rental income from buildings leased to professional care operators. When tenants leave on an expiry date or when the lease agreement lapses, new leases may yield lower rents than the current leases. A gloomy economic climate or other factors that can have a material impact on the rent payment capacity of tenants (for example, the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to a decrease in the occupancy rate, putting pressure on the rent payment capacity of care operators) can also lead to the renegotiation of current leases. Such renegotiations can lead to rent reductions whereby the rent levels of tenants are rebalanced with their future income potential in order to ensure the sustainability of the cash ows generated by the buildings. This could have a negative impact on the Group’s income and cash ows. The concentration of the tenant base (see page 142) could further increase this risk.

Aedica is also exposed to the risk of nancial default by its tenants. Tenant default can have a negative impact on the Group’s results and therefore on earnings per share and the capacity to pay dividends. Fur- thermore, the Group is not insured in the event of such tenant defaults. To mitigate this risk, Aedica ensures that there is a thorough analysis of the business plan of the operators, that there is constant monitoring of the nancial performance of existing tenants and that there is a rigor- ous procedure for the invoicing and follow-up of tenants with payment diculties. Moreover, in most cases a rental guarantee is agreed with the operator (in the form of bank guarantees, blocked accounts or other guarantees), in line with established market practice. Due to the continued ageing of the European population, the Covid-19 pandemic will not have a material impact on the long-term demand for healthcare real estate.

Despite these measures, the risk of loss of rental income cannot be ruled out. As of 31 December 2021, the charges on the provisions for doubt- ful debts amounted to approx. €0.7 million on approx. €232.1 million in rental income. A loss of €10 million in rental income would reduce earnings per share by approx. €0.29. A decrease in rental income can also have a negative eect on the valuation of the property concerned.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

The fair value of investment properties (accounted for in accordance with IAS 40) uctuates over time and depends on various factors over which Aedica does not have complete control (such as decreasing demand or occupancy rates, an increase in the transfer charges, etc.). A potential impairment loss on properties of the portfolio could have a negative impact on the results and nancial situation of the Group. Each quarter, the fair value of investment properties is assessed by independent valuation experts. As of 31 December 2021, a change of 1% in the fair value of investment properties would have an impact of approx. €48.4 million on the net income, approx. €1.39 on the net asset value per share and approx. 0.4% on the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio. Over the course of the nancial year, the fair value of marketable investment properties increased by 3.8% on a like-for-like basis*.

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Aedica acquires buildings in development and also develops its own projects (specically in Finland and Sweden and to a limited extent in other countries), which allows the Group to supervise the development works and ensure that the delivered buildings are of high quality. These development activities entail the following potential risks:

  • nding the right partners to carry out the building work;
  • building delays can lead to a loss of potential income;
  • budget overruns as compared to initial investment budget;
  • the bankruptcy of a construction company can lead to delays and additional costs;
  • increased building costs;
  • a complex permit process can lead to delays and additional costs;
  • health and safety on construction sites;
  • other organisational problems.

While the risks arising from development activities cannot be avoided, the Group does its best to negotiate contracts that minimise them:

  • the projects in which Aedica invests are always backed by a pre-let agreement;
  • investments in turnkey projects;
  • obtaining a building permit is always a preceding condition for the project.

As of 31 December 2021, Aedica’s total investment budget for devel - opment projects amounts to approx. €767 million.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

To maintain the quality of Aedica’s real estate (and its independent valuation), the Group has developed an internal property management structure, under which property managers visit and inspect the build - ings on a regular basis, engage with tenants and evaluate whether the safety and maintenance of the buildings meet quality standards. On the basis of this dialogue, investments are made in renovations or extensions when necessary. Although Aedica always enters into long-term relationships with its tenants and the Group regularly monitors the quality of its portfolio and – where necessary – invests in renovations, the risk cannot be excluded that the perceived quality of its buildings may deteriorate signicantly and have an impact on the valuation of the buildings (see above). The buildings in Aedica’s portfolio are insured against re and other disasters. The insurance policies are usually taken out by the tenants and also cover rental vacancies during the reconstruction of buildings. In addition, there is also a risk that when a tenant leaves, his/her/its rental guarantee does not cover the nancial risk of renovations or changes to the building.

INTEREST RATE RISK

A substantial part of Aedica’s nancial debts are oating-rate bor- rowings. This allows Aedica to benet from low interest rates on the non-hedged part of its borrowings. To mitigate the risk of increasing interest rates, Aedica follows a policy aimed at securing for a period of several years the interest rates related to at least 60% of its current or highly probable indebtedness. It should be noted that the Company assumed certain xed-rate debts which came from pre-existing invest- ment credits tied to real estate companies which were acquired or absorbed by the Company. Aedica extended and increased its hedge ratio by closing new forward starting swaps and some caps to hedge the interest rate risk. In addition, the USPP and the benchmark bond issue have rebalanced Aedica’s mix of xed and oating rate debt. On 31 December 2021, the nancial debt is hedged against interest rate risk for 90.3%, i.e. the ratio of the sum of the xed rate debt and the notional amount of derivatives divided by the total nancial debt. The hedging’s weighted average maturity is 6.6 years. This policy is supported by the fact that an increase in nominal interest rates, when not coupled with a simultaneous increase in ination, implies an increase in real interest rates that cannot be oset by increasing rental incomes through indexation alone. Moreover, in case of acceler- ating ination, there is a delay between the timing of the increase of the nominal interest rates and the timing of the indexation of rental income. In order to manage the interest rate risk, Aedica has put in place hedges (interest rate swaps and caps). All hedges are entered into with leading banks and relate to existing or highly probable risks. An analysis of Aedica’s hedges is included in Note 33 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

DEBT RATIO

Aedica’s debt-to-assets ratio is monitored and published each quarter and its evolution is projected during the approval process of each major investment project. As of 31 December 2021, the consolidated debt-to- assets ratio amounted to 42.6%. Aedica’s theoretical additional debt capacity based on the maximum debt-to-assets ratio allowed under its corporate status as a RREC (65% of total assets) and under current bank covenants (60% of total assets) is set out on page 56. In its relations with nancial counterparties, Aedica is bound to observe a number of nancial parameters, as part of certain credit facilities and/ or the legal regimes to which all or certain entities of the Aedica group are subject. Non-compliance with nancial parameters could lead to:

  • sanctions (e.g.## 

The Group may be exposed to a liquidity risk if its existing financing agreements are not renewed at maturity, if no additional new funding sources can be found to finance the portfolio growth or due to a lack of cash flow in the event of early termination of credit facilities. To finance its activities and investments, Aedifica relies heavily on its ability to raise financial resources. This ability can be disrupted by a variety of (external) factors, such as disruptions in international financial debt and equity markets, a reduction in the lending capacity of banks, a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the Aedifica group, a negative perception of investors with regard to real estate companies, etc. Any of these events could cause Aedifica to experience difficulties in accessing funding under its existing or new credit facilities or in the capital markets. As a consequence, Aedifica might not be able (i) to meet its financial obligations (including interest payments, loan repayments, operating costs or development costs), or (ii) to finance its activities. If the Company would be exposed to a liquidity issue, it could, in the worst case, be forced to dispose of assets.

As of 31 December 2021, the Group has drawn €1,811 million (31 December 2020: €1,669 million) from the total amount of €2,788 million of confirmed bank financing, medium-term notes and bonds. The remaining headroom is sufficient to cover the Group’s short-term financial needs as well as the existing development projects until the end of the 2022 financial year. The 2022 financial plan includes payments in the context of the committed pipeline of development projects amounting to approx. €350 million.

In 2018, Aedifica launched a programme to issue treasury notes with varying maturities. The short-term treasury notes are fully hedged by the available funds on confirmed long-term credit lines and thus they do not increase the liquidity risk. Details regarding Aedifica’s credit lines are described in Note 32 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As Aedifica’s financial model is based on a structural indebtedness, cash balances remain relatively limited. They amounted to approx. €15.3 million as of 31 December 2021 (at consolidated level).

Aedifica has a credit rating assessed by an independent rating agency. In August 2021, S&P Global assigned the Group a BBB investment-grade rating with a stable outlook (see page 50). This rating can be adjusted at any time. A rating downgrade could lead to an increase in the Group’s financing cost. In addition, a downgrade could also affect the appetite of credit providers to partner with Aedifica, which could compromise the Group’s access to the debt market and thus its ability to finance its operations and growth.

Aedifica earns approx. 22% of its income and incurs part of its expenses in the United Kingdom and Sweden and is therefore exposed to an exchange rate risk. Future fluctuations in the exchange rate may affect the value of Aedifica’s investment properties, rental income and the net result, all of which are expressed in euros. An active hedging policy is in place to limit the £/€ exchange rate risk and its impact on Aedifica’s result, if and when it is deemed necessary.

A 10% change of the £/€ exchange rate has an impact of approx. €83.2 million on the fair value of the Group’s investment properties located in the United Kingdom, approx. €5.0 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €5.5 million on the Group’s net result.

A 10% change of the SEK/€ exchange rate has an impact of approx. €7.9 million on the fair value of the Group’s investment properties located in Sweden, approx. €0.2 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €0.7 million on the Group’s net result.

New regulations or changes to existing regulations (at European, national or local level), including those relating to healthcare, property rental, taxation, the environment, urban development, mobility policy, privacy and sustainable development, the renewal of licences with which Aedifica or its tenants must comply, or a change in the application or interpretation of such regulations by the administration (including the tax administration) or the courts, can increase the administrative costs and liabilities of the Group, and may have a major impact on the return, the fair value of the investment properties and on the tenants.

In particular, it is changes in the healthcare financing system that pose the greatest risk to the Group. Often the revenues of care operators are derived in part from subsidies (direct or indirect) granted by local social security systems. These systems depend on national and local governments and can be reformed from time to time depending on the political situation. A reform of these financing systems in one of the regions in which Aedifica operates (e.g. as a result of the pressure exerted by the COVID-19 pandemic on social security systems), could potentially have an impact on the solvency of care operators, thus creating the risk that they would not be able to meet their contractual obligations towards the Group. Although Aedifica strictly monitors compliance with regulations, drawing on all necessary expertise, the risks associated with regulatory changes cannot be ruled out.

As a ‘public regulated real estate company under Belgian law’ (‘public RREC’) – and in order to keep this status – Aedifica is subject to the requirements of the law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies, as amended from time to time (the ‘RREC Act’), which contain restrictions regarding (amongst others) the activities, the debt-to-assets ratio, the result processing, conflicts of interest and corporate governance.

As a public RREC, Aedifica benefits from a specific tax regime. Its result (rental income and capital gains on disposals, after deduction of operating costs and financial expenses) is exempt from corporate income tax at the level of the public RREC (i.e. the public RREC is subject to corporate income tax at the normal rate, but only on a limited taxable basis, consisting of the sum of (i) the abnormal or benevolent advantages it receives and (ii) the expenses and costs that are not deductible as business expenses, other than write-downs and capital losses on shares), while subsidiaries that do not have the status of a RREC or a specialised real estate investment fund remain subject to corporate income tax. To the extent that Aedifica directly holds real estate that is not located in Belgium, the Group may be subject to local taxes. The Company’s subsidiaries that are not registered in Belgium are also subject to the provisions of the locally applicable common corporate income tax laws.

If Aedifica is unable to meet the requirements of the RREC status (this would suppose major and re-iterated disregard for the provisions of the RREC Act), there is a risk that the market authority (the FSMA) will impose sanctions and that Aedifica might lose its RREC status. In that case, the Group would lose the benefits of its special tax regime as a public RREC and the benefit of the reduced withholding tax rate of 15% on its dividends (see section 4.3 below). Furthermore, the loss of the RREC status is generally considered in credit facilities as a reason for the early repayment of all loans granted to the Company, which could in turn lead to a reduced liquidity (see section 3.3 above).

Companies (other than RRECs or specialised real estate investment funds) which were, or are, absorbed by the Company, owe an exit tax payable on their unrealised capital gains and exempted reserves. The exit tax is calculated taking into account the provisions of the circular Ci. RH.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE# 423/567.729 of 23 December 2004; the prescribed interpretation or practical application of this circular is subject to change at the Government’s discretion at any time, which could, depending on the change, have a significant negative impact on the acquisition cost of real estate and thus on the overall profitability of the Group. Since the exit tax only applies to acquisitions in Belgium and, in recent years, Aedifica has carried out most of its investments in other countries, the potential impact of this risk is limited. With regard to the Dutch activities, the Group has applied for its Dutch subsidiary to be recognised as a ‘Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling’ (‘FBI’), a transparent tax regime. As a matter of prudence, the Group recognised a generally applicable corporate income tax burden in the income statement to account for the possibility that the Company may not obtain an ‘FBI’ status. In the meantime, Aedifica, assisted by external consultants, continues to work towards obtaining the FBI status, which could have a positive impact on the Group’s results.

3. TAX

3.1. Belgian withholding tax on dividends

The Belgian withholding tax on dividends amounts in principle to 30%, subject to reduction or exemption under the applicable Belgian provisions or tax treaties. However, a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% applies to dividends distributed by RRECs that invest at least 80% of their real estate directly or indirectly in ‘healthcare real estate’ (Article 269, §1, 3° of the Belgian Income Tax Code ’92). In 2021, the Belgian government decided to increase the threshold for the application of the reduced rate of 15% from 60% to 80% for dividends attributed or made payable as of 1 January 2022. Healthcare real estate is defined as immovable property that is located in a member state of the European Economic Area and is exclusively or mainly used or intended as residential units adapted to residential care or health care. Following the Brexit, a transition regime has been provided for the inclusion of Aedifica’s UK portfolio in the 80% threshold until the end of 2025. The Group monitors this threshold in accordance with the Belgian government’s guidelines. As Aedifica invests more than 80% of its property portfolio in healthcare real estate, shareholders benefit from this reduced rate of 15%. If the Group were no longer to comply with this 80% threshold, shareholders would have to pay the standard withholding tax rate (30% instead of 15%). In addition, there is a political risk that the reduced withholding tax rate might be abolished or its terms adjusted in such a way that Aedifica’s shareholders would no longer be entitled to it. While this risk would not have a material impact on the Group’s activities, the cancellation of the reduced withholding tax rate could make the Aedifica share less attractive and lead to a temporary decrease in the share price.

3.2. Financing risk

Aedifica’s steady growth could lead to a scarcity of available financing (in the form of either debt or equity). To counter this risk, the Group is developing an ever-expanding network of actual and potential providers of financial resources. It is also important that there is a positive perception of Aedifica’s access to the capital markets. In 2021, the Group further diversified its financial resources through the issuance of its first Sustainability Bond amounting to €500 million.

3.3. Operational risk

There is also an operational risk if, due to the pace of growth, the Group proves unable to integrate all its activities, acquisitions and takeovers correctly (e.g. when mistakes or operational problems occur, or when there are shortcomings in the follow-up of acquisitions). To counter these risks and to meet the challenges of its growth and internationalisation, the Group regularly updates its procedures, without compromising its flexibility and agility (see page 28). In addition, the Group implemented an ERP system in 2020 and a treasury management system in 2021. The Group is also expanding its team to include individuals with specialised competencies.

3.4. Internationalisation risk

The internationalisation of the Group’s activities can bring new risks related to the increasing complexity in the management of daily activities (specific characteristics of each foreign market, cultural barriers, language barriers, integration, property management, etc.) and the accumulation of regulatory risks in the different countries. These risks can have an impact on the reputation and prospects of the Group. To mitigate these risks, Aedifica calls upon local experts to support its international development and implements the required structures and procedures to ensure smooth international development. By developing an operating model based on close cooperation and interaction between local teams in the countries in which Aedifica operates, local proximity and agility are combined with economies of scale in terms of operational excellence and know-how. An additional benefit of this operating model is that it can be easily rolled out to new markets.

3.5. Reputation risk

Reputation and visibility are key issues for a listed group in full growth. With Aedifica’s growth and internationalisation, the possibility and impact of the risk of reputational damage is increasing. The Group must not only ensure its reputation and visibility in the different countries in which it operates, its reporting is also analysed more carefully by an ever-growing group of investors and analysts. To mitigate reputation risk, the Group communicates in a transparent way on its financial and sustainability performance in line with sector standards (e.g. EPRA and GRI). The treatment of residents by tenants could also impact the Group’s reputation. As high-quality treatment and comfort of residents are of utmost importance to Aedifica, all reports from local healthcare authorities are thoroughly monitored. In case of irregularities, operators are evaluated and asked to implement a plan to avoid any future infringements. Should Aedifica’s reputation suffer, this could affect its growth prospects and make access to capital more difficult. The Group currently has an excellent reputation thanks to its long-standing track record and it remains in close contact with its stakeholders in order to maintain this reputation. However, the Group cannot completely eliminate the risk of damage to its reputation.

3.6. Growth risk

Since its incorporation, the Group’s portfolio has expanded at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%. Aedifica’s growth contributes to the premium included in the share price compared to the net asset value per share (on 31 December 2021, this premium was approx. 50%). Lack of growth hence constitutes a risk for a company like Aedifica as it could affect the stock market’s expectations and could lead to a decline in the share price. Furthermore, a lack of growth could also trigger a breach of trust with the Group’s various stakeholders or make access to capital more difficult. However, Aedifica is committed to maintain its sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship: the key team members are constantly expanding their networks and Aedifica invests in the development of country teams, which enables the Group to stay abreast of what is happening in its (local) markets and to easily identify new opportunities.

3.7. Human Resources risk

Aedifica’s international growth has increased the Group’s visibility, which may trigger headhunters to recruit members of the Aedifica team. The unexpected departure of certain key staff members could expose Aedifica to a certain risk of disorganisation and loss of knowledge and could have adverse consequences for the Group’s development. Consequently, Aedifica has developed a human resources policy aimed at retaining its employees within the company to the greatest extent possible through (amongst other things) an appropriate remuneration policy, offering a training programme and the possibility of internal career development. The Group continuously invests in a healthy, safe and pleasant work environment to keep its employees safe and motivated. In order to monitor employee engagement and satisfaction, Aedifica conducts an annual employee survey, which is used to introduce new measures to improve employee satisfaction. In addition, the Group has a proactive recruitment policy which has led to the creation of several new positions in recent years. The risk of loss of knowledge due to the departure of key figures is further mitigated, on the one hand, by staff growth and, on the other, by the development of a high-performance operating model and the standardisation of business processes which ensure that Aedifica’s experience and know-how remain within the company and continue to circulate efficiently among its team members.

3.8. IT risk

Good management of the IT infrastructure is of fundamental importance for Aedifica. A loss or unavailability of data could cause a disruption of management and investment activities, and a disruption of the internal and external reporting process. To mitigate these risks, Aedifica has an IT team that is assisted by an external partner in managing the IT infrastructure (hardware and software) and in the security and storage of data. In addition, local and cloud backups are performed regularly. A cyber security policy has been signed as well, insuring the Group against various types of cybercrime. However, the Group cannot completely eliminate IT risks.# RISK FACTORS

As the Group grows, so does the risk of practices that could compromise Aedifica’s integrity, such as tax fraud, corruption, bribery or conflicts of interest. An erosion of the integrity could seriously damage the Group’s reputation and have a severe impact on the activities of Hoivatilat, which regularly works with local authorities and the public sector. To mitigate this risk, Aedifica has implemented the necessary business processes and developed a code of conduct and an anti-bribery and corruption policy to which both its team members and its business partners must adhere. However, the risk of Aedifica’s integrity being compromised cannot be completely eliminated.

As a result of international growth, the Group’s activities are being monitored by an increasingly large group of institutional investors and financial institutions. For them, it is important that Aedifica has sound CSR scores in order to justify an investment in the Group or the granting of financing. Aedifica is therefore exposed to the risk of being insufficiently transparent regarding its objectives and performance in the area of corporate social responsibility, which could potentially cause the Group to lose investors or financing. A lack of ESG transparency could also lead to reputational damage. To mitigate these risks, Aedifica has developed an ambitious CSR action plan (see CSR Report, published and updated on an annual basis). In addition, the Group has entered into a dialogue with its tenants to raise their awareness of CSR measures and to support them in complying with these measures.

Climate change can result in warmer summers across the European continent, which may require modifications to buildings to keep indoor temperatures comfortable (such as air conditioning, additional insulation, etc.). This may lead to a complete rethink of the way buildings are designed, with more attention being paid to the (active and passive) cooling of buildings. In addition, climate change may lead to rising sea levels and extreme weather conditions that could damage buildings, such as the 2021 floods that partially impacted some of the Group’s properties in Germany. To mitigate these risks, building cooling, environmental aspects and flood risks are taken into account to the maximum extent when developing projects and in the due diligence process of acquisitions.

Note 1: General information

Aedifica NV/SA (referred to in the financial statements as ‘the Company’ or ‘the Parent’) is a limited liability company having opted for public Regulated Real Estate Company (RREC) status under Belgian law. The Company is entered in the Brussels Registry of Legal Entities (R.L.E., or ‘R.P.M.’ in French / ‘R.P.R.’ in Dutch) under No. 0877.248.501. Its primary shareholders are listed in Note 30 of this annual financial report. The address of its office is the following: Rue Belliard 40, B-1040 Brussels (telephone: +32 (0)2 626 07 70).

The Aedifica group (referred to in the financial statements as ‘the Group’) is composed of the parent-company and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of the Aedifica group are listed in Note 40.

Aedifica is listed on Euronext Brussels (2006) and Euronext Amsterdam (2019).

Publication of the Consolidated Financial Statements was approved by the Board of Directors on 22 February 2022. Aedifica’s shareholders have the opportunity to amend the Consolidated Financial Statements after publication at the Annual General Meeting, which will take place on 10 May 2022.

Note 2: Accounting policies

Note 2.1: Basis of preparation

The Consolidated Financial Statements cover the 12-month period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. They have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) and the interpretations as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (‘IFRIC’), to the extent to which they are applicable to the Group's activities and are effective for the financial years starting on or after 31 December 2020.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have also been prepared in accordance with the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on Regulated Real Estate Companies.

The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in euros, and presented in thousands of euros.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared with application of the historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value: investment properties, investment properties held for sale, financial assets and liabilities held for hedging purposes or not (mainly derivatives), put options granted to non-controlling shareholders and equity-accounted investments.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accrual accounting principles on a going concern basis.

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires significant judgment in the application of accounting policies (including the classification of lease contracts, identification of business combinations, and calculation of deferred taxes) and the use of certain accounting estimates (such as impairment tests involving goodwill). Underlying assumptions are based on prior experience, input from third parties (notably real estate experts), and on other relevant factors. Actual results may vary on the basis of these estimations. Consequently, the assumptions and estimates are regularly revisited and modified as necessary.

The new and amended standards and interpretations listed below are compulsory for the Group since 1 January 2021, but had no significant impact on the current Consolidated Financial Statements:

  • ‘Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards’ published in March 2018;
  • amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 ‘Definition of ‘Material’;
  • amendments to IFRS 7 and 9 and IAS 39 ‘Interest Rate Benchmark Reform’;

  • amendment to IFRS 4 ‘Insurance contracts: deferral of IFRS 9’;
  • amendment to IFRS 16 ‘Leases: COVID-19-related rent concessions’ published in May 2020.

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards have been published and will be compulsory for financial years starting on or after 1 January 2022. These amendments, which the Group did not apply early, are as follows (situation as at 3 March 2022):

  • new standard for IFRS 14 ‘Regulatory Deferral Accounts’ (for which no application date can be determined because the EU has decided not to start the approval process of this provisional standard, pending the publication of a final standard);

Note 2.2: Summary of significant accounting policies

The main significant accounting policies applied during the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented below. These methods were applied consistently to all previous financial years. The numbering of the paragraphs below refers to the lines presented on the balance sheet and income statement.

Consolidation principles – Subsidiaries

All entities for which Aedifica (directly or indirectly) holds more than half of the voting rights or has the power to control operations are considered subsidiaries and included in the scope of comprehensive consolidation. The comprehensive consolidation consists of incorporating all assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, as well as income and expenses. Minority interests are included in a separate line of the balance sheet and the income statement. In accordance with IFRS 10, subsidiaries are fully consolidated as from the date on which control is transferred to the Group; they are de-consolidated as from the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group’s companies are eliminated.

Consolidation principles – Associates and joint-ventures

All entities for which Aedifica (directly or indirectly) does not hold more than half of the voting rights or does not have the power to control operations, but over which Aedifica has joint control or significant influence, are considered associates or joint-ventures and are consolidated using the equity method. The participation is initially recognised at cost and is subsequently adjusted to take account of changes after the acquisition of the investor's share of the net assets of the concerned entity.

Consolidation principles – Partnership

All agreements whereby the parties that have joint control of an arrangement which give rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement and that, following the framework of IFRS 11, are determined as joint operations, are consolidated following a proportional consolidation.

Foreign currency

Aedifica primarily operates in the euro zone. Euro is the functional currency of the Group and the Consolidated Financial Statements. The functional currency of the UK subsidiaries is the pound sterling and that of the Swedish subsidiaries is the Swedish krona. Foreign currency transactions are translated to the respective functional currency of the Group entities at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settling these, or from re-translating monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies, are booked in the Income Statement. Exceptions to this rule are foreign currency loans hedging investments in foreign subsidiaries and intra-group loans meeting the definition of a net investment in a foreign operation. In such cases, exchange differences are booked in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until the disposal of the investment.

Consolidation of foreign entities

Assets and liabilities of the foreign entities are translated into euro at exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The income statement is translated at the average rate for the period or at spot rate for significant items. Resulting exchange differences are booked in other comprehensive income and recognised in the Group income statement when the operation is sold. The principal exchange rates used to translate foreign currency denominated amounts in book year 2021 are:
* balance sheet: 1 € = 0.84119 £
* income statement: 1 € = 0.85973 £
* balance sheet: 1 € = 10.2887 SEK
* income statement: 1 € = 10.14555 SEK

I.A. Goodwill

Business combinations are recognised using the purchase method in accordance with IFRS 3. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill (an asset). In the event that this value is negative, it is recognised immediately in profit. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

I.B. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are capitalised as assets at their acquisition cost and are amortised using the straight-line method at annual rates between 14.29% (7 years) and 33% (3 years).

I.C. Investment Properties

1. Initial recognition

1.1. Acquisition value

If the acquisition of a building takes place by cash payment, through the acquisition of shares of a real estate company, through the non-monetary contribution of a building against the issuance of new shares, by merger through takeover of a property, or by a partial de-merger, the deed costs, audit and consultancy costs, reinvestment bank fees, costs of lifting security on the financing of the absorbed company, and other costs relating to the merger are also considered part of the acquisition cost and capitalised in the asset accounts on the balance sheet.

1.2. Fair value

Properties in the Group’s portfolio or which enter into its portfolio, either with payment in cash or in kind, are valued by independent experts at their fair value. The fair value of investment properties located in Belgium is calculated as follows:
* buildings with an investment value greater than €2.5 million: Fair value = investment value / (1+ the average transaction cost defined by the BE-REIT Association);
* buildings with an investment value less than €2.5 million:
1) where the expert considers that the building can be divided and sold in separate units (notably individual apartments), the fair value is defined as the lower of the separated investment value / (1 + % transfer tax levied in the region where the building is located) and the investment value / (1+ the average transaction cost defined by the BE-REIT Association);
2) where the expert considers that the building cannot be divided and sold in separate units, the fair value is the investment value / (1 + % transfer tax levied in the region where the building is located).

The average transaction cost defined by the BE-REIT Association is revised annually and adjusted as necessary in increments of 0.5%. Experts attest to the percentage deducted and retained in regular reports to shareholders; it currently amounts to 2.5%. The fair value of investment properties located abroad take into account locally applicable legal costs. Transfer taxes on acquisitions and any change in the fair value of properties during the financial year are directly recognised in the income statement.

1.3. Treatment of differences at the time of acquisition

If, for acquisitions such as those defined in section I.C.1.1 (‘Acquisition value’) above, the fair value determined by the independent expert is different than the acquisition value defined in section I.C.1.1, the difference is booked in the income statement under line ‘XVIII. Changes in fair value of investment properties’.

2. Accounting for works projects (subsequent expenditures)

Costs incurred by Aedifica for works carried out on investment properties are accounted for using one of two distinct methods, depending on the nature of the costs. The cost of repairs and maintenance, which neither add new functionality nor constitute a significant enhancement or upgrade to the building, are recognised as incurred expenses and are thus deducted from the year’s profit. Subsequent expenditures related to two types of works projects are capitalised as assets on the Company’s balance sheet:
a) major renovations and extensions: these usually take place every 25 to 35 years and represent an almost complete renovation of the building, often reusing parts of the original building and applying the most up-to-date building techniques. Upon completion of these major renovation projects, the buildings are considered as new and are presented as such in the real estate portfolio.# b) upgrades: these consist of occasional works that add new functionality, increase capacity, or significantly enhance or upgrade the building, making it possible to raise rents, and thus increase the building’s estimated rental income. The costs relating to these works are also capitalised in the balance sheet for the reason and to the extent that the experts usually recognise a corresponding increase in the value of the building. Costs that may be capitalised include: materials, contractor fees, technical studies, and staff fees or costs. Any excess of these costs over fair value is recognised as an expense in the income statement. Borrowing costs are capitalised for all qualifying projects with a duration of more than one year.

3. Recurring remeasurement and remeasurement in the event of share transactions

3.1. Depreciation

In accordance with IAS 40, Aedifica applies the fair value model and does not recognise depreciation on its properties, the rights in rem on properties, or on properties rented to the Company under finance leases.

3.2. Share transactions

Real estate properties held by Aedifica and by the subsidiaries under its control are valued by experts each time the Company proceeds to issue new shares, list shares on the stock exchange, or repurchase shares other than through the stock exchange. While Aedifica is not bound by this valuation, any issue or repurchase price set below this level must be justified (in the form of a special report). A new valuation is not required when a share issuance falls within four months of the last valuation of the property concerned, so long as the experts confirm that neither the economic situation nor the physical state of the property make a new valuation necessary.

3.3. Quarterly revaluations

Each quarter, valuation experts perform a calculation of fair value based on the conditions of the properties and on fluctuations observed in the real estate market. This valuation is carried out on a building-by-building basis and covers Aedifica’s entire real estate portfolio, including properties held by its subsidiaries. These valuations are binding for Aedifica and must be reflected in the accounts. Thus, the carrying amount of the properties in the accounts corresponds to the fair value at which they are assessed by Aedifica’s independent valuation experts.

3.4. Accounting for changes in fair value

Changes in the fair value of real estate properties, as determined by independent experts, arise each time the value is assessed. They are accounted for in the income statement.

4. Asset disposals

Upon disposal of an investment property, the gain or loss on disposal is recognised in the income statement, in line ‘XVI. Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties’.

5. Owner-occupied investment property

Any investment property occupied by Aedifica is transferred to the line ‘other tangible assets’ of the balance sheet. Its fair value at the time of the transfer becomes its deemed acquisition cost. If the Company only occupies a small part of the building, the whole building is recognised as ‘investment property’ in the balance sheet and continues to be carried at fair value.

6. Development projects

Buildings under construction, renovation, or extension, which are considered development projects are recognised on the balance sheet at historical cost, including transfer taxes, non-recoverable VAT and indirect expenses (capitalised interest, insurance, legal fees, architectural fees, consulting fees, etc.). If the historical cost deviates from the fair value appraised by the independent expert, the deviation is recognised in the income statement in order to bring the carrying amount in line with the fair value. Costs incurred in the preliminary phase of development projects are recognised at their historical value.

7. Rights of use on plots of land

Rights of use recognised in the balance sheet for concession or leasehold purposes or similar leases (as a result of IFRS 16 coming into force) are also considered as investment properties.

I.D. Other tangible assets

Tangible assets with definite useful lives, which fall outside the scope of investment property, are initially recognised at their acquisition cost. The components approach is not applied (based on materiality criteria). Depreciation is charged on a linear basis using the pro rata temporis method. As residual values are considered marginal, accumulated depreciation is expected to cover the total acquisition cost of each item included in other tangible assets. The following depreciation rates are applied:

- plant, machinery and equipment: 20%;

- other furniture: 20%;

- vehicles: 25%

- IT: 20% to 33%.# Aedifica - Annual Financial Report 2021

I.E. Non-current financial assets

  1. Hedging instruments
    When a derivative provides cash flow hedges to cover a specific risk arising from a financial asset or a firm commitment or a highly probable transaction liability and meets the criteria for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, the effective portion of the income or expense is recognised directly in equity (line ‘I.C.d. Reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments qualifying for hedge accounting as defined under IFRS’). The ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement. When a derivative does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, it is recognised on the balance sheet at its fair value, and changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement as they occur.
  2. Other financial and non-current assets
    Financial assets classified as held for sale are valued at fair value (market value if available, otherwise acquisition value). Changes in fair value are recognised in equity (under ‘I.C.i. Reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of financial assets available for sale’). Receivables are valued at amortised cost.

I.H. Deferred tax assets

When a building is acquired outside of Belgium and the net income is consequently subject to foreign tax, a deferred tax is recognised on the balance sheet in relation to the unrealised loss (temporary difference between the fair value and the assessed value used for tax purposes of the building in question).

I.I. Participations in associates and joint-ventures

Participations in associates and joint-ventures are the Group’s participating interests in companies over which the Group has no or only joint control. These shares in associates and joint-ventures are recognised at fair value in the income statement and are consolidated using the equity method. They only relate to Immobe NV/SA.

II.A. Assets held for sale

Properties that are considered non-strategic and which are intended to be sold are included in line II.A. They are recognised at fair value, in accordance with IFRS 5.

II.C/D/E. Receivables

Receivables are measured at amortised cost. Impairment losses are recognised using the simplified expected credit loss (ECL) method in accordance with IFRS 9.

II.G. Deferred charges and accrued income

Costs incurred during the year, which relate partially or in full to the following year, are recognised on a proportional basis as deferred charges. Revenues and portions of revenues earned over the course of one or several subsequent financial years, but which are also related to the current year, are recognised in income for the amount earned in the current year.

I.A. et II.A. Provisions

A provision is recognised on the balance sheet when the Group has an implicit or explicit legal obligation as a result of a past event, and for which it is very probable the resources will be used to extinguish this obligation. Provisions are measured by calculating the present value of expected cash flows using a market interest rate. They are reflected as a liability on the balance sheet.

I.C.b. Other non-current financial liabilities – Other

The Company can commit itself to acquire the non-controlling shareholdings owned by third parties in subsidiaries, should these third parties wish to exercise their put options. The exercise price of such options granted to non-controlling interest is reflected on the balance sheet on line ‘I.C.b. Other non-current financial liabilities – Other’. As required by IFRS 16, this balance sheet line also includes the long-term portion of the lease debt for company cars, buildings used by the Group as offices and the rights of use for concession or leasehold purposes – or similar leases. This value is amortised using the 'effective interest rate method'.

I.F. Deferred tax liabilities

When a building is acquired outside of Belgium and the net income is consequently subject to foreign tax, a deferred tax is recognised on the balance sheet in relation to the unrealised capital gain (temporary difference between the fair value and the assessed value used for tax purposes of the building in question).

Properties that are considered non-strategic and which are intended to be sold are included in line II.A. They are recognised at fair value, in accordance with IFRS 5.

II.C/D/E. Receivables

Receivables are measured at amortised cost. Impairment losses are recognised using the simplified expected credit loss (ECL) method in accordance with IFRS 9.

II.G. Deferred charges and accrued income

Costs incurred during the year, which relate partially or in full to the following year, are recognised on a proportional basis as deferred charges. Revenues and portions of revenues earned over the course of one or several subsequent financial years, but which are also related to the current year, are recognised in income for the amount earned in the current year.

I.A. et II.A. Provisions

A provision is recognised on the balance sheet when the Group has an implicit or explicit legal obligation as a result of a past event, and for which it is very probable the resources will be used to extinguish this obligation. Provisions are measured by calculating the present value of expected cash flows using a market interest rate. They are reflected as a liability on the balance sheet.

I.C.b. Other non-current financial liabilities – Other

The Company can commit itself to acquire the non-controlling shareholdings owned by third parties in subsidiaries, should these third parties wish to exercise their put options. The exercise price of such options granted to non-controlling interest is reflected on the balance sheet on line ‘I.C.b. Other non-current financial liabilities – Other’. As required by IFRS 16, this balance sheet line also includes the long-term portion of the lease debt for company cars, buildings used by the Group as offices and the rights of use for concession or leasehold purposes – or similar leases. This value is amortised using the 'effective interest rate method'.

I.F. Deferred tax liabilities

When a building is acquired outside of Belgium and the net income is consequently subject to foreign tax, a deferred tax is recognised on the balance sheet in relation to the unrealised capital gain (temporary difference between the fair value and the assessed value used for tax purposes of the building in question).

Aedifica – Annual Financial Report 2021 – 12

II.B/D/E. Current debts

Debts are recognised at amortised cost at the year-end date. Debts denominated in foreign currencies are converted into Euros using the spot rate on the year-end date. Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from the revaluation of foreign currency borrowings are recognised in the income statement, except for foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the hedging of a foreign net investment, which are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

II.F. Accrued charges and deferred income

Damages and interests paid by a lessee for breach of contract are recognised in the income statement at the time of receipt.

I. to XV. Operating result before result on portfolio

The objective of lines I through XV is to reflect the operating profit generated by the Company’s rental property portfolio, including general operating costs. All of Aedifica’s leases are classified as operating leases for which Aedifica is the lessor. Lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, in accordance with IAS 17.

XVI. to XIX.# Operating result

The objective of lines XVI through XIX is to reflect in the income statement all transactions and accounting adjustments related to the value of the Company’s portfolio:

  • realised capital gains and losses: capital gains and losses are included in the line ‘Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties’;
  • unrealised gains and losses (carried at fair value): changes in the portfolio’s fair value are included in the income statement under ‘changes in fair value of investment properties’;
  • commissions paid to real estate agents and other transaction costs: commissions related to the sale of buildings are deducted from the sale price in determining the gain or loss on disposal which is recognised in the operating result. Fees paid to real estate and technical experts are recognised as current expenses.

The result on disposals of investment properties represents the difference between sales proceeds (excluding transaction costs) and the latest reported fair value of the properties sold. The result is realised at the moment of the transfer of risks and rewards. Generally, transfer taxes are to be paid by the person buying the building. However, in the case of ‘acte en main’ disposals, the transfer taxes are to be paid by the seller and are thus deducted from the sale price and the gain effectively realised. In the event of a disposal, transfer taxes do not need to be deducted from the difference between the received amount and the carrying value of the sold properties in order to calculate the capital gain or loss effectively realised, as they have already been recognised in the income statement at the moment of acquisition.

XXV. to XXVI. Corporate tax and exit tax

Line XXV includes current and deferred taxes. Income tax is recognised in the income statement. It is the estimated tax attributable to the taxable income of the year using the tax rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, together with any adjustment to tax liabilities relating to previous years. When a building is acquired outside of Belgium and the net income is consequently subject to foreign tax, a deferred tax is recognised on the balance sheet in relation to the unrealised capital gain and the unrealised loss (temporary difference between the fair value and the assessed value used for tax purposes of the building in question). Except for the portion relating to items directly recognised in equity, deferred tax is recognised in the income statement.

Line XXVI includes the exit tax. This is the tax on the capital gain resulting from the approval of a Belgian company as a RREC or the merger of a non-RREC company with a RREC. When a company that does not have the status of a RREC but is eligible for this regime, enters in the consolidation scope of the Group for the first time, an exit tax provision is recorded, taking into account the anticipated date of the merger or approval. Any adjustment to this exit tax liability is recognised in the income statement. When the merger or approval takes place, the provision becomes a liability and any difference is also recognised in the income statement.

Commitments and contingencies

The Board of Directors values commitments and contingencies at the nominal value of the legal obligation as stated in the contract; in the absence of a nominal value or in exceptional cases, these values are disclosed for information purposes.

Group insurance

Aedifica’s insurance contracts in Belgium are considered as defined contribution plans. These contracts are analysed in Note 31.

Hoivatilat’s ‘equity incentive plan’

The employees of Hoivatilat Oyj benefit from an equity incentive plan, This plan provides the participants with the opportunity to receive Aedifica shares or a cash equivalent as a reward for achieving the targets of the earnings criteria separately set by the Hoivatilat Board for each earning period. The Board of Directors will decide separately for each participant the amount of their maximum award for each earning period. The maximum award is expressed as Aedifica shares or equivalent.

The plan foresees 2 parts:
- A number of shares of Hoivatilat Oyj which are converted into Aedifica shares.
- A cash contribution used to cover the applicable taxes and other charges.

Aedifica has the choice between delivering new or existing Aedifica shares or a cash settlement. Following the recommendations from IFRS 2 the amounts related to the equity incentive plan are recognised in equity in the consolidated accounts.

Note 3: Operating segments

Note 3.1: Presented segments

Pursuant to the divestments that were carried out in the course of the 2018/2019 financial year and Aedifica’s focus on healthcare real estate, it was decided to adjust the segmented information of the operational result and to classify it geographically as from the financial year that started on 1 July 2019. This segmentation reflects the geographical markets in which Aedifica operates and is consistent with the Group's organisation and internal reporting on the basis of which management makes key operational decisions, as defined by IFRS 8. The accounting policies described in Note 2 were used for the internal reporting and the segment reporting that follows.

Each group of entities that fall under common control is considered as a single customer under IFRS 8. Revenues generated through transactions with a single customer representing more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues must be disclosed. This requirement applies to:

  • the 51 properties (in the segments ‘Belgium’, ‘Netherlands’ and ‘Germany’) rented out to legal entities controlled by the Korian group, for which rents represent 12% of the Company’s total 2021 rental income (15% in the prior financial year). Rents mentioned here represent the turnover realised by the Company over the course of the financial year, which differ from the contractual rents (representing the agreements in place at the time of the year-end closure) on which the analyses included in the Property Report of this Annual Financial Report are based.

The Group rents its buildings exclusively under operating leases. The increase in rents earned compared to the restated period is related to the growth of the portfolio during the 2021 financial year.

The schedule of future minimum lease payments to be collected under non-cancellable operating leases required by IAS 17 is based on the following assumptions, which are extremely conservative:
- long-term leases: no inflation.

Future minimum lease payments to be collected under non-cancellable operating leases are presented as follow:

Rental income includes contingent rents amounting to €1,082 k (31 December 2021: €1,197 k).

In 2019/2020, a depreciation for doubtful debts of €1.9 million was recognised for Four Seasons for the period from 1 October 2019 until the transfer of the buildings to the new tenants in April 2020. The main other depreciations have been recognised for Majesticare (€0.6 million) and Touhula (€0.4 million).

The schedule of future minimum lease payments to be collected under non-cancellable operating leases required by IAS 17 is based on the following assumptions, which are extremely conservative: - long-term leases: no inflation. Future minimum lease payments to be collected under non-cancellable operating leases are presented as follow:

Note 17: Share in the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures

On 1 July 2018, Aedifica transferred the ‘apartments’ branch of activities to a separate company (Immobe NV/SA), which was initially wholly controlled by Aedifica NV/SA. Aedifica NV/SA gradually sold its shares in Immobe NV/SA (in 2 phases) to Primonial European Residential Fund:
- phase 1: sale of 50% (minus one share) during the second quarter of the 2018/2019 financial year (see press release of 31 October 2018 for more information);
- phase 2: sale of an additional 25% (plus two shares) during the third quarter of the 2018/2019 financial year (see press release of 27 March 2019 for more information).

Following the sale of the second phase, Immobe NV/SA is no longer a perimeter company and is consolidated using the equity method.

TOTAL TAX -56,729 -18,744 -26,341

The corporate taxes are composed of current taxes, deferred taxes and exit tax. Current taxes consist primarily of Belgian tax on Aedifica’s non-deductible expenditures (since Belgian REITs benefit from a specific tax regime, leading to the taxation of only non-deductible costs, such as regional taxes, car costs, representation costs, social costs, donations, etc.), tax generated abroad and tax on the result of the consolidated subsidiaries. Deferred taxes generally arose from the recognition at fair value of buildings located abroad in conformity with IAS 40. This deferred tax (with no monetary impact, that is to say, non-cash) is thus excluded from the EPRA Earnings* (see Note 25).

cumulative impairment losses -3,953 -335

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets, the Group primarily analysed the carrying amount of goodwill. The initial goodwill (€335 k) arose from the acquisition of Schloss Bensberg Management GmbH. This goodwill was set at zero during the 2017/2018 financial year. The goodwill addition in 2020 (€161,726 k) arose from the acquisition of Hoivatilat Oyj. It results from the positive difference between the acquisition cost (the price paid for the shares of Hoivatilat Oyj) and the fair value of the net asset acquired, including deferred tax effect corresponding to the theoretical assumption under IAS/IFRS of an immediate disposal of the assets and liabilities at the closing date. The tax rate applied for Finland is 20%. The goodwill addition in 2021 (€3,617 k, corresponding to £3,043 k in the books of Aedifica UK Ltd, the buyer) arose from the acquisition of Layland Walker Ltd (renamed Aedifica UK Management Ltd), Aedifica’s UK asset management company. It results from the positive difference between the acquisition cost (the price paid for the shares of Layland Walker Ltd) and the fair value of the net asset acquired.

Impairment test
On 31 December 2021, the goodwill of the Hoivatilat Oyj acquisition was subject to an impairment test by comparing the fair value of investment properties and development projects (including deferred tax effect plus the goodwill) to the value in use of these investment properties and development projects. The fair value of investment properties and development projects is established by an independent expert in accordance with the Group valuation rules as presented in Note 2.The value in use is established by the Group according to expected future net cash flows based on the rents of the underlying investment properties and development projects (as per tenants’ lease agreements), the expenses to maintain and manage the property portfolio, and the theoretical renovation costs of the properties. The value in use also consider the net future cash flows of a non-committed development pipeline of €100 million per year during the first 4 years, based on the plans of the subsidiary’s Management. The main assumptions in the establishment of the value in use are the indexation rate and the discount rate. Assumptions used in the calculation of the value in use of Hoivatilat: - the cash flow horizon is 45 years with a final value that is determined as a perpetuity of 80% of the last cash flow; - renewal costs are estimated at 20% of the cost price every 15 years; - the yield on cost that is used to determine the non-committed pipeline rents is based on the assumptions used by experts in the valuation of the existing portfolio; - the indexation considered on the cash flows stands at 2%; - the discount rate amounts to 4.25%. On 31 December 2021, the fair value of investment properties and development projects (net of deferred tax liability carried on the balance sheet) plus goodwill amounts to €1,079,560 k. The value in use, calculated on the same date according to the principles set out above, amounts to €1,104,586 k.

Sensitivity analysis

Change in inflation Change in discount rate Change of value in use (in %)
+0.50% 13%
-0.50% -11%
+0.50% -12%
-0.50% 14%

As Aedifica UK Management Ltd will not provide asset management services outside the Group, the value in use is considered to be zero. Consequently, the goodwill has been fully amortised by 31 December 2021 (£3,043 k corresponding to €3,540 k in P&L converted at the average exchange rate for the period).

All investment properties are located in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Ireland and Spain. The fair value of the marketable investment properties as of 31 December 2021 is assessed by independent valuation experts. The average capitalisation rate applied to contractual rents is 5.52% (in accordance with the valuation methodology – presented in the first bullet of section 1.11 of the Standing Documents included in the 2021 Annual Financial Report). A positive 0.10% change in the capitalisation rate would lead to a negative change of approx. €83 million in the portfolio’s fair value. Development projects are described in detail in the Property Report included in the present Annual Financial Report.

Aedifica – Annual Financial Report 2021 – 28

The portfolio of investment properties includes a right of use of €58 million related to plots of land held in 'leasehold' in accordance with IFRS 16. Assets classified as held for sale (line II.A. included in the assets on the balance sheet) amount to €35.4 million as of 31 December 2021. They mainly relate to nine care properties in Finland and one care property in the United Kingdom that are considered to be non-strategic assets. Acquisitions made during the financial year are described in detail in the Financial Report included in the present Annual Financial Report. All investment properties are considered to be at ‘level 3’ on the fair value scale defined under IFRS 13. This scale includes three levels: Level 1: observable listed prices in active markets; Level 2: observable data other than the listed prices included in level 1; Level 3: unobservable data. During the 2021 financial year, there were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3. The valuation methodologies (approach under which a capitalisation rate is applied to the estimated rental value and another approach based on the present value of future cash flows) are described in section 1.11 of the standing documents of the present Annual Financial Report.The quantitative information presented below in relation to the determination of the fair value of investment properties based on unobservable data (level 3) is taken from various reports produced by the valuation experts:

The valuation of the buildings is based on an occupancy rate of 100% for the entire healthcare real estate portfolio. The different parameters applied in the capitalisation method can vary depending on the location of the assets, the quality of the building, quality of the operator, lease length etc., which explains the significant differences between the minimum and maximum amounts for these unobservable data. The capitalisation rate is determined by the valuation expert based on economic data and benchmarking and takes into account a risk premium.

In accordance with legal provisions, properties are revalued four times per year based on valuation reports prepared by the ten valuation experts appointed by the Company. These valuations are based on:

  • information provided by the Company such as contractual rents, rental contracts, investment budgets, etc. These data are extracted from the Company’s information system and are thus subject to the Company’s internal control environment;
  • assumptions and valuation models used by the valuation experts, based on their professional judgment and market knowledge.

Reports provided by the valuation experts are reviewed by the Company’s Senior Valuation & Asset Manager, the Group Controller and the Executive Managers. This includes a review of the changes in fair value over the period. When the Executive Managers consider that the valuation reports of the valuation experts are coherent, the valuation report is submitted to the Audit Committee. Following a favourable opinion of the Audit and Risk Committee, these reports are submitted to the Board of Directors.

The sensitivity of the fair value measurement to a change of the abovementioned unobservable data is generally as follows (all else being equal):

Unobservable data Effect on the fair value in case of decrease of the unobservable input value Effect on the fair value in case of increase of the unobservable input value
ERV / m² negative positive
Capitalisation rate positive negative
Inflation negative positive
Discount rate positive negative
Residual maturity (year) negative positive

Interrelations between unobservable data are possible, as they are determined in part by market conditions.

The collateral at fair value (€93 k; 31 December 2020: €438 k) includes blocked funds in Germany. Assets and liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss consist primarily of hedging instruments. However, they hedge interest rate risks. The cash flows generated by all hedges, as well as the changes in fair value taken into income, are presented in Notes 14 and 16. The other liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss (€5,697 k; 31 December 2020: €5,287 k) include the put options granted to non-controlling shareholders (see Notes 16 and 43).

Note 25: Deferred taxes

The deferred taxes recognised in the balance sheet arise from the acquisitions of investment properties located outside of Belgium. They generally result from the temporary difference between the buildings’ fair value and the assessed value used for tax purposes. The increase in deferred taxes is mainly due to the increase in the fair value of the properties.

Changes in deferred taxes are as follows (see also Note 18):

(x €1,000) Assets Liabilities

It is anticipated that the carrying amount of trade receivables will be recovered within twelve months. This carrying amount represents an estimate of the fair value of assets that do not generate interest. The credit risk associated with trade receivables is limited thanks to the diversity of the client base and rental guarantees (€148 million; 31 December 2020: €125 million) received from tenants to cover their commitments. In the United Kingdom, collateral on the companies is used as a guarantee. The carrying amount on the balance sheet is presented net of the provision for doubtful debts. Thus, the risk of exposure to credit risk is reflected in the carrying amount of receivables recognised on the balance sheet.

The capital increases that are thus decided on by the Board of Directors may be subscribed to in cash, in kind, or by means of a mixed contribution, or by incorporation of reserves, including profits carried forward and issue premiums as well as all equity components under the Company’s statutory IFRS financial statements (drawn up in accordance with the regulations applicable to the regulated real estate companies) which are subject to conversion into capital, with or without the creation of new securities. These capital increases can also be realised through the issue of convertible bonds, subscription rights or bonds repayable in shares or other securities which may give rise to the creation of the same securities.

On 31 December 2021, the balance of the authorised capital amounts to:
- 1) €475,917,719.19 for capital increases by contribution in cash whereby the possibility is provided for the exercise of the preferential subscription right or the priority allocation right by the shareholders of the Company;
- 2) €475,917,719.19 for capital increases in the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend;
- 3) €88,927,185 for
a. capital increases by contribution in kind,
b. capital increases by contribution in cash without the possibility for the shareholders of the Company to exercise the preferential right or priority allocation right, or
c. any other kind of capital increase;
provided that the capital within the context of the authorised capital can never be increased by an amount that exceeds the legal maximum amount of the capital of €945,579,079.55, on the dates and in accordance with the terms and conditions as will be determined by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has proposed a dividend distribution of €3.40 gross per share, i.e. a total dividend of €118,496 k, to be divided over two coupons (coupon no. 28: €1.5370; coupon no. 29: €1.8630). Taking into account the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014, on 31 December 2021 the available (statutory) reserves calculated in accordance with Article 7:212 of the Companies and Associations Code amount to €92,001 k, after the dividend distribution proposed above (31 December 2020: €60,918 k). Detailed calculations are provided in the notes to the attached Abridged Statutory Accounts.

Aedifica defines capital in accordance with IAS 1p134 as the sum of all equity accounts. The equity level is monitored using the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio (calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 – see Note 41), which cannot exceed 60% according to the credit agreements in place with the Company’s banks (see Notes 32 & 36). Equity is monitored with a view to the continuity of business activities and the financing of growth.

Note 31: Provision

Aedifica takes out group insurance for all of its employees and the members of its Executive Committee (Executive Managers).# Note 31: Provision

Aedifica takes out group insurance for all of its employees and the members of its Executive Committee (Executive Managers). The purpose of these contributions is to provide the following benefits: - payment of a ‘Life’ benefit to the member if alive on the date of retirement; - payment of a ‘Death’ benefit to the member’s beneficiaries in the event of death before retirement; - payment of disability benefits in the event of a non-occupational accident or long-term illness; - exemption from premiums in the same cases. For Belgian employees, it consists of a defined contribution group insurance plan for which there are no personal contributions from the beneficiaries. In accordance with the law of 18 December 2015, Belgian workers benefit from a minimum guaranteed return on the ‘Life’ portion of the premiums. For ‘branch 21’ type insurance policies, the new guaranteed rate applies to new contributions (employer/personal) paid from 1 January 2016, but the old guarantee (3.25% on the employer’s contributions and 3.75% on the worker’s) remains applicable for the minimum reserve built up as at 31 December 2015. As from 2016, the minimum return required by the law on supplementary pensions fell to 1.75%. This may generate a liability in the employer’s accounts. This minimum return obligation is not applicable to the pension plan for the members of the Management Committee members with self-employed status. The amounts covered by way of long-term benefits granted to members of the Management Committee are included in the remuneration report in the 2021 annual financial report. In respect of these pension schemes, Aedifica held outsourced assets of €870 k as at 31 December 2021. An actuarial valuation (using the Traditional Unit Credit (TUC) method) provides that the bonds are calculated on the basis of projected minimum reserves at the minimum guaranteed rate and discounted at the discount rate as described in the IAS 19 standard. The assets are considered to correspond to the sum of the mathematical reserves per individual and the available portion of the financing fund. This valuation results in a net liability of less than €17 k as at 31 December 2021. In previous years, an additional defined contribution plan was introduced in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. For these plans, the problem of having to recognise a provision does not arise since, according to IAS 19, this is not a ‘defined benefit’ plan.

The classification between current and non-current financial debts is based on the maturity dates of the credit lines on which the drawings are made instead of based on the maturity dates of the drawings. On 31 December 2021, Aedifica had committed credit facilities totalling €1,987 million granted by 19 credit providers. - Aedifica can use up to €1,878 million depending on its needs, as long as the debt-to-assets ratio does not exceed 60% and other covenants are met (in line with market practice). Interests are set for periods of up to 12 months, at a fixed margin set with reference to the Euribor rate prevailing at the start of the interest period. €233 million of these credits facilities were directly contracted by Hoivatilat Oyj. - Aedifica also has amortising facilities with fixed interest rates between 0.8% and 6.0% amounting to €54 million and variable interest rates amounting to €55 million, of which €52 million are credits held directly or indirectly by Hoivatilat Oyj. Aedifica NV/SA also has a treasury notes programme (extended to €500 million in December 2021) of which €350 million (previously €250 million) is available for treasury notes with a duration of less than one year and €150 million is available for treasury notes with a duration of more than one year.

  • Under this programme, Aedifica has completed 5 private placements (see table above) amounting to €87 million. These amounts are presented on line ‘Other’ of the ‘Non-current financial debts’. - As of 31 December 2021, the short-term portion of the treasury notes programme (listed under the heading ‘Other’ of the ‘Current financial debts’) is used for an amount of €250 million. Hoivatilat Oyj also issues treasury notes in its own name. As of 31 December 2021, the outstanding amount was €26 million (listed under the heading ‘Other’ of the ‘Current financial debts’). The entire outstanding amount of the treasury notes programme is fully hedged by the available funds on confirmed long-term credit lines. Moreover, in early 2021, Aedifica successfully issued a bond (‘USPP’) of £180 million through a private placement with US, UK and Canadian institutional investors. The bonds have maturities of 7 and 12 years with a coupon of 2.58% and 2.79% respectively. Proceeds from this US private placement – received on 4 March 2021 – were used to repay the £150 million bridge facility. Furthermore, on 2 September 2021, Aedifica successfully issued its first benchmark Sustainability Bond for an amount of €500 million with a tenor of 10 years and a coupon of 0.75% per annum. Loans contracted under Aedifica’s Sustainable Finance Framework amount to €580 million, 28% of the drawn debt as of 31 December 2021, underlining the Group’s wish to further diversify its sources of financing and to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy. Over the course of the financial year, the average effective interest rate* (including credit margin and the effect of the hedging instruments) amounted to 1.4% after deduction of capitalised interest (1.5% in 2019/2020) or 1.6% before deduction of capitalised interest (1.6% in 2019/2020). Taking into account the duration of the drawings, the carrying amount of the financial debts with variable interest rate approximates their fair value (€1,232 million). The interest rate hedges are discussed in Note 33. The fair value of the financial debts with fixed interest rate (€855 million) is estimated at €842 million. As of 31 December 2021, the Group did not mortgage or pledge any Belgian, Dutch or British building to its creditors. In Germany, Finland and Sweden, however, it is common practice for real estate to be mortgaged as part of bank financing. As of 31 December 2021, the ratio between the secured financial debt and the assets was 5%.# Note 33: Hedging instruments

Aedifica takes on a large proportion of its financial debts at floating rates and is therefore able, where appropriate, to benefit from low interest rates on the unsecured portion of its borrowings. In order to limit the interest rate risk, Aedifica has put in place hedges that allow for the conversion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt, or to capped-rate debt (‘cash flow hedges’). Furthermore, the acquisition of the healthcare real estate portfolio in the United Kingdom in February 2019 has exposed the Group to foreign exchange risk. Aedifica hedges the net cash flows resulting from the financial income from intra-group loans, other intra-group revenues and the financial charges of the external debt in pound sterling, gradually, on a tranche-by-tranche basis, with forward contracts to smooth out exchange rate fluctuations. Aedifica has also hedged some capital expenditures in the United Kingdom.

1. Management of interest rate risk

1.1 Framework

All hedges (interest rate swaps or ‘IRS’ and caps) are related to existing or highly probable risks. Aedifica applies hedge accounting to previously negotiated derivatives that meet the criteria to allow hedge accounting. In accordance with market practices, Aedifica has chosen not to apply hedge accounting to recently negotiated derivatives, even if they meet those strict criteria. Nevertheless, all derivatives provide economic hedging against interest rate risk, regardless of their accounting method. All hedges are provided in the framework of the hedging policy set out in Note 36. The fair value of these instruments is assessed on the basis of the present value of the estimated expected cash flows based on market data. This fair value is adjusted in accordance with IFRS 13 to reflect the company’s own credit risk (‘debit valuation adjustment’ or ‘DVA’) and the counterparty’s credit risk (‘credit valuation adjustment’ or ‘CVA’). The tables below list the Company’s hedging instruments.

1.2 Derivatives for which hedge accounting is applied (x €1,000)

31/12/2021 31/12/2020
Changes in fair of the derivatives
Beginning of the year -20,856 -20,922
Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of hedging instruments (accrued interests) 4,273 -3,419
Transfer to the income statement of interests paid on hedging instruments 3,641 3,485
Transfer to the reserve account regarding revoked designation 224 0
Transfer to the reserve account of the net gain or loss on matured hedges 1,204 0
AT YEAR-END -11,514 -20,856

The amounts recorded in equity will be transferred to net finance costs in line with the payment of interest on the hedged financial debt, between 1 January 2022 and 31 July 2043.

The year-end equity value includes the effective part (as defined in IFRS 9) of the change in fair value (+€7,917 k) of the financial instruments corresponding to the derivatives for which hedge accounting may be applied, and the ineffective portion of the 2019/2020 financial year (loss of €3 k) that was appropriated in 2019/2020 by decision of the Annual General Meeting held in October 2020.

These financial instruments are ‘level 2’ derivatives (according to IFRS 13p81). The ineffective part (according to IAS 39) amounts to -€31 k as of 31 December 2021.

1.3 Derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied

The financial result includes an income of €17,011 k (31 December 2020: an income of €691 k), arising from the change in the fair value of derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied (in line with IFRS 9, as listed in the aforementioned framework) and the linear amortisation of the fair value of terminated derivatives as of their date of termination, which amounts to a loss of €1,332 k (31 December 2020: a loss of €1,661 k) (see Note 16). The latter is recognised on line ‘II. H. Other comprehensive income, net of taxes’ of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

These financial instruments are ‘level 2’ derivatives (as defined in IFRS 13p81).

The financial result also includes the amortisation of the premiums paid at the time of the subscription to the caps, which amounts to €815 k (31 December 2020: €2,081 k).

1.4 Sensitivity analysis

The fair value of the hedging instruments is determined by the interest rates on the financial markets. These changes partly explain the change in the fair value of the hedging instruments between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021. This resulted in an income of €15,648 k, recognised in the income statement, and to an income of €9,248 k, recognised in equity.

A change in the interest rate curve would impact the fair value of instruments for which hedge accounting is applied (in accordance with IFRS 9), and recognised in equity (line ‘I.C.d. Reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments qualifying for hedge accounting as defined under IFRS’). All else being equal, a positive change of 10 bps of the interest rate curve at the balance sheet date would have a positive impact on equity in the amount of €951 k (€1,923 k as of 31 December 2020). A negative change of 10 bps would have a negative impact in the same range.

The impact of a change in the interest rate on the fair value of the instruments for which hedge accounting is not applied cannot be determined as precisely, since options can be embedded within these instruments. The fair value of these options will change in a non-symmetric and non-linear pattern, and is a function of other parameters (e.g. volatility of interest rates). The sensitivity of the ‘mark-to-market’ value of these instruments to an increase of 10 bps of the interest rate is estimated to have a positive impact of €3,670 k (€1,305 k on 31 December 2020) on the income statement. A decrease of 10 bps in the interest rate would have a negative impact of €3,635 k on the income statement.

2. Management of foreign exchange risk

All hedges (forward purchase contracts of foreign currencies) are related to existing or highly probable risks. The hedging instruments are derivatives for which Aedifica will not systematically apply hedge accounting and which provide economic hedging against foreign exchange risk. All hedges are provided in the framework of the hedging policy set out in Note 36.

The fair value of these instruments is assessed on the basis of the present value of the estimated cash flows based on market data. These financial instruments are ‘level 2’ derivatives (according to IFRS 13p81).

As of 31 December 2021, Aedifica had no hedging contracts in place. During the financial year, Aedifica partially hedged the net cash flows resulting from the financial income from intra-group loans, other intra-group revenues and the financial charges of the external debt in pound sterling or capital expenditures in the United Kingdom with forward contracts.

1. Debt structure

Aedifica’s debt-to-assets ratio (as defined in the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on Belgian RRECs) is detailed on page 56 of this Annual Financial Report. As of 31 December 2021, it amounts to 40.0% at the statutory level and to 42.6% at the consolidated level. This section also discloses the maximum ratio permitted before the Company reaches the maximum debt-to-assets ratio permitted for Belgian REITs (65% of total assets) or arising due to bank covenants (60% of total assets).

The debt-to-assets ratio is monitored on a quarterly basis and its evolution is estimated during the approval process of each major investment project. When the debt-to-assets threshold of 50% is exceeded, a financial plan with an implementation schedule must be elaborated, describing the measures that will be taken to prevent the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio from exceeding the maximum permissible threshold of 65% (Article 24 of the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014). However, the Company intends to maintain an appropriate long-term debt-to-assets ratio of approx. 45% to 50%.

Aedifica’s financial model relies on a structural indebtedness. As a result, cash balances are usually low, amounting to €15.3 million as of 31 December 2021. As of 31 December 2021, the Group did not mortgage or pledge any Belgian, Dutch or British building to its creditors. In Germany, Finland and Sweden, however, it is common practice for real estate to be mortgaged as part of bank financing. As of 31 December 2021, the ratio between the secured financial debt and the assets was 5%. It is possible that in the context of supplementary financing, additional mortgages will be granted.

2. Liquidity risk

Aedifica enjoys a strong and stable relationship with its financial institutions, which form a diversified pool, comprising an annually increasing number of European institutions. Details of Aedifica’s credit facilities are disclosed in Note 32. As of 31 December 2021, the Group has drawn €1,811 million (31 December 2020: €1,669 million) from the total amount of €2,788 million of confirmed bank financing, medium-term notes and bonds. The remaining headroom is sufficient to cover the Group’s short-term financial needs as well as the existing development projects until the end of the 2022 financial year. The 2022 financial plan includes payments in the context of the committed pipeline of development projects amounting to approx. €350 million.

Aedifica aims to further diversify its financing sources. In this context, Aedifica launched a programme in 2018 to issue treasury notes with varying maturities. The short-term treasury notes are fully hedged by the available funds on confirmed long-term credit lines. As of 31 December 2021, medium-term notes amount to €87 million (31 December 2020: €77 million).

Given the regulatory status of Belgian REITs/RRECs, and the type of property in which Aedifica invests, the risk of non-renewal of mature credit facilities is remote even in the context of a credit crunch, except in the event of unforeseen and extreme circumstances. However, there is a risk that credit margins may increase after the maturity date of these credit lines.

Aedifica may be exposed to a liquidity risk which could arise due to a lack of cash flow in the event of early termination of the credit facilities. Should the Company fail to comply with the provisions (covenants), which were included in the credit facility arrangements to take into account key financial ratios, the facilities might be cancelled, renegotiated, or forced into repayment. The covenants in place are in line with market practice and notably require that the debt-to-assets ratio (as defined by the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014) does not exceed 60% and that the EBITDA should exceed twice the net financial charges. Moreover, there is a risk of early termination in the event of a change of control, in case of non-compliance with the Company’s obligations, and, more generally speaking, in the event of default as defined in these arrangements. A default situation related to one contract can lead to a default situation related to all contracts (‘cross-default clauses’).

Based on the information available to date, and the prospects for the foreseeable future, there is no indication of a possible early termination of one or more of the existing credit facilities. However, this risk cannot be ignored completely. Moreover, Aedifica does not itself retain control over certain commitments which could lead to the early termination of credit facilities, such as in the event of a change of control.

As of 31 December 2021, the undiscounted future cash flows related to the credit facilities include €319 million maturing within 1 year, €787 million maturing within 1 to 5 years, and €981 million maturing in more than 5 years. The credit facilities also give rise to an interest expense of €16 million that is due within 1 year (31 December 2020: €607 million capital and €9.5 million interest due within 1 year).

The undiscounted contractual future cash flows related to hedging instruments are analysed as follows:

As at 31/12/2021 (x €1,000)

Due within the year Due between one to five years Due after more than five years TOTAL
Derivatives for which hedge accounting is applied -3,519 -5,331 -4,207 -13,057
Derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied -3,824 -10,382 -9,577 -23,783

As at 31/12/2020 (x €1,000)

Due within the year Due between one to five years Due after more than five years TOTAL
Derivatives for which hedge accounting is applied -3,192 -7,578 -4,847 -15,618
Derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied -3,394 -12,110 -11,075 -26,578

3. Interest rate risk

A substantial part of Aedifica’s financial debts are floating-rate borrowings. This allows Aedifica to benefit from low interest rates on the non-hedged part of its borrowings. To mitigate the risk of increasing interest rates, Aedifica follows a policy aimed at securing for a period of several years the interest rates related to at least 60% of its current or highly probable indebtedness. It should be noted that the Company assumed certain fixed-rate debts which came from pre-existing investment credits tied to real estate companies which were acquired or absorbed by the Company. Aedifica extended and increased its hedge ratio by closing new forward starting swaps and some caps to hedge the interest rate risk. In addition, the USPP and the benchmark bond issue have rebalanced Aedifica’s mix of fixed and floating rate debt.

On 31 December 2021, the financial debt is hedged against interest rate risk for 90.3%, i.e. the ratio of the sum of the fixed rate debt and the notional amount of derivatives divided by the total financial debt. The hedging’s weighted average maturity is 6.6 years. This policy is supported by the fact that an increase in nominal interest rates, when not coupled with a simultaneous increase in inflation, implies an increase in real interest rates that cannot be offset by increasing rental incomes through indexation alone. Moreover, in case of accelerating inflation, there is a delay between the timing of the increase of the nominal interest rates and the timing of the indexation of rental income.# 43 – Aedifica – Annual Financial Report 2021

For example: assuming that the structure and level of financial debts remain unchanged, and assuming that no hedges have been entered into, simulations show that a 100 bps positive deviation (increase) in the 2022 interest rates over the forecast rates would lead to an approx. additional €2.3 million interest expense for the year ending 31 December 2022. Taking into account the hedging instruments at present, the increase in interest expense would amount to just €1.2 million.

In order to manage the interest rate risk, Aedifica has put in place hedges (interest rate swaps and caps). All hedges are entered into with leading banks and relate to existing or highly probable risks. An analysis of the Group’s hedges is provided in the Financial Report and in the Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 33).

The hedges can be entered into for long periods; however, hedge agreements include provisions (in line with market practice) that could lead the issuing banks to terminate the hedges early or initiate margin calls (in cash for example) in their own favour in certain circumstances. Changes in the interest rate curve have a limited impact on the future interest expense, since at least 60% of the financial debts are hedged by IRS or caps. Each change in the interest rate curve has an impact on the fair value of hedging instruments against income statement and/or equity (balance line ‘I.C.d. Reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorised hedging instruments qualifying for hedge accounting as defined under IFRS’). A sensitivity analysis is provided in Note 33.

Certain external developments could cause an increase of the credit spreads at the Group’s expense, in accordance with the ‘increased cost’ clauses included in the banking agreements. Such clauses allow the lending banks to increase the cost price of the granted credit, among other things, in case these banks are subjected by their supervisory authority to more severe solvability, liquidity or other capital requirements. However, it should be noted that during the crises which have hit the financial markets since 2007, no bank has ever invoked one of these clauses towards the Group. However, this cannot be seen as a safeguard for the future.

4. Banking counterparty risk

Signing a credit facility or hedging instrument with a bank generates a counterparty risk in the event of counterparty default. In order to mitigate this risk, Aedifica trades with several leading national and European banks to diversify its funding and hedging sources, while remaining cautious about the balance between cost and quality of the services provided, it being understood that the counterparty risk cannot be excluded and the failure by one or more of Aedifica’s financing or hedging counterparties could have a negative impact on the Group’s assets, operations, financial position and prospects.

In line with market practice, the agreements signed with banks include market shock clauses and material adverse change clauses (‘MAC’ clauses) which could lead to, in extreme circumstances, additional costs for the Group or possibly the early termination of the credit facility. However, it should be noted that during the crises which have hit the financial markets since 2007, no bank has ever invoked one of these clauses towards the Group.

5. Exchange rate risk

Aedifica generates its revenue and costs in the euro area and also in British pounds (since the acquisition of the UK portfolio in February 2019) and Swedish krona (since the acquisition of Hoivatilat in January 2021, through the Swedish subsidiary). Future fluctuations in the exchange rate may affect the value of Aedifica’s investment properties, rental income and the net result, all of which are expressed in euros.

A 10% change of the GBP/EUR exchange rate has an impact of approx. €83.2 million on the fair value of the Group’s investment properties located in the United Kingdom, approx. €5.0 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €5.5 million on the Group’s net result.

A 10% change of the SEK/EUR exchange rate has an impact of approx. €7.9 million on the fair value of the Group’s investment properties located in Sweden, approx. €0.2 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €0.7 million on the Group’s net result.

Aedifica partly financed its UK portfolio by a bond issue in British pounds. The £180 million bond was issued in early 2021 through a private placement (£170 million with a maturity of 7 years and £10 million with a maturity of 12 years). This bond provides a partial natural hedge against exchange rate fluctuations on the balance sheet and limits the impact on the debt-to-assets ratio.

The Company applies an active hedging policy covering the GBP/EUR exchange risk impacting Aedifica’s results, as deemed necessary, which takes into account, among other things, the volatility of the exchange rate observed from time to time and the cost of hedging (which itself is dependent on various elements). However, an active hedging policy cannot completely eliminate the currency exchange risk and the Company remains exposed to this risk. A change in the exchange rate that would not be covered by the Company’s hedging policy may expose the Company to lower rental income and increased costs and can have a negative impact on the Company’s assets, operations, financial position and prospects.The £180 million bond was issued in early 2021 through a private placement (£170 million with a maturity of 7 years and £10 million with a maturity of 12 years).

Note 44.7: Key performance indicators according to the EPRA principles

Aedifica supports reporting standardisation, which has been designed to improve the quality and comparability of information. The Company supplies its investors with most of the information recommended by EPRA (see pages 152-163). The following indicators are considered as APMs:

  • EPRA Earnings represents the profit (attributable to owners of the Parent) after corrections recommended by the EPRA. In Aedifica’s case, the EPRA Earnings corresponds perfectly to the result excl. changes in fair value, which has previously been used in Aedifica’s financial communication. The EPRA Earnings* is calculated in Note 19 (in accordance with the Aedifica model) and in the EPRA chapter of the Annual Financial Report (in accordance with the model recommended by EPRA).
  • EPRA Net Reinstatement Value* represents the line ‘equity attributable to owners of the parent’ after corrections recommended by the EPRA. The EPRA Net Reinstatement Value assumes that entities never sell assets and provide an estimation of the value required to rebuild the entity. It is calculated in the EPRA chapter of the Annual Financial Report.
  • EPRA Net Tangible Assets* represents the line ‘equity attributable to owners of the parent’ after corrections recommended by the EPRA. The EPRA Net Tangible Assets assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax. It is calculated in the EPRA chapter of the Annual Financial Report.
  • EPRA Net Disposal Value* represents the line ‘equity attributable to owners of the parent’ after corrections recommended by the EPRA. The EPRA Net Disposal Value represents the value accruing to the company's shareholders under an asset disposal scenario, resulting in the settlement of deferred taxes, the liquidation of financial instruments and the recognition of other liabilities for their maximum amount, net of any resulting tax. It is calculated in the EPRA chapter of the Annual Financial Report.
  • EPRA Cost Ratio (including direct vacancy costs) and EPRA Cost Ratio (excluding direct vacancy costs)* represent aggregate operational costs as recommended by the EPRA. The EPRA Cost Ratios are calculated in the EPRA chapter of the Annual Financial Report.

1. Valuation experts’ report

1 Gentlemen,

We are pleased to send you our estimate of the fair value of investment properties held by the Aedifica group as of 31 December 2021. Aedifica assigned to each of the ten valuation experts the task of determining the fair value (from which the investment value is derived 2 ) of one part of its portfolio of investment properties. Assessments are established taking into account the remarks and definitions contained in the reports and following the guidelines of the International Valuation Standards issued by the ‘IVSC’. We have acted individually as valuation experts and have a relevant and recognised qualification, as well as an ongoing experience for the location and the type of buildings assessed. The valuation expert’s opinion of fair value was primarily derived using comparable recent market transactions on arm’s length terms. Properties are considered in the context of current leases and of all rights and obligations that these commitments entail. We have evaluated each entity individually. Assessments do not take into account a potential value that can be generated by offering the whole portfolio on the market. Assessments do not take into account selling costs applicable to a specific transaction, such as brokerage fees or advertising. Assessments are based on the inspection of real estate properties and information provided by Aedifica (i.e. rental status and surface area, sketches or plans, rental charges and property taxes related to the property, and compliance and pollution matters). The information provided was assumed to be accurate and complete. Assessments are made under the assumption that no non-communicated piece of information is likely to affect the value of the property. Based on the ten assessments, the consolidated fair value of the portfolio amounted to €4,854,160,580 3 as of 31 December 2021 including 100% of the fair value of the assets held by the partners of the partnership AK JV NL or €4,836,970,580 after deduction of the 50% share in the partnership AK JV NL held by the other partner company. The marketable investment properties 4 held by Aedifica group amounted to €4,686,521,296 (excluding 50% of the value of the assets held by the other partner company in AK JV NL). Contractual rents amounted to €258,499,967 which corresponds to an initial rental yield of 5.52% compared to the fair value of marketable investment properties. The current occupancy rate amounts to 99.52%. Assuming that the marketable investment properties are 100% rented and that the current vacancy is let at market rent, contractual rent would amount to €259,723,163, i.e. an initial yield of 5.54% compared to the fair value of the marketable investment properties. The above-mentioned amounts include the fair values and contractual rents of the UK based assets in pound sterling and converted into euro as well as the assets located in Sweden in Swedish Krona converted into euro taking the exchange rates as per 31/12/2021 (1.18879€/£ and 10.2887SEK/€; rates of the last business day of the quarter) into account.

As of 31 December 2021:

  • the consolidated fair value of the assets located in Belgium amounted to €1,218,690,277; including €1,213,217,395 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to €63,874,708 which corresponds to an initial yield of 5.3% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
  • the consolidated fair value of the assets located in Germany amounted to €1,102,437,000; including €1,057,513,553 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to €55,213,734 which corresponds to an initial yield of 5.2% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
  • the consolidated fair value of the assets located in The Netherlands amounted to €604,565,000 including 100% of the fair value of the assets held by the partners of the partnership AK JV NL. The marketable investment properties after deduction of the 50% share held by the partner company amounted to €564,105,000. Contractual rents amounted to €31,255,429 which corresponds to an initial yield of 5.5% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
  • the consolidated fair value of the assets located in the United Kingdom amounted to £699,633,000; including £691,178,123 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to £44,471,056 which corresponds to an initial yield of 6.4% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.

  • The expert report was reproduced with the agreement of Cushman & Wakefield Belgium NV/SA, Stadim BV/SRL, CBRE GmbH, Jones Lang LaSalle SE, Cushman & Wakefield VOF, CBRE Valuation & Advisory Services BV, Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited, Jones Lang LaSalle Finland Oy, JLL Valuation AB and CBRE Unlimited Company. The sum of all elements of the portfolio individually assessed by the abovementioned valuation experts constitutes Aedifica’s whole consolidated portfolio.

  • ‘Investment value’ is defined by Aedifica as the value assessed by a valuation expert, of which transfer costs are not deducted (also known as ‘gross capital value’).
  • The abovementioned portfolio is broken down in two lines on the balance sheet (lines ‘I.C. Investment properties’ and ‘II.A. Assets classified as held for sale’).
  • ‘Marketable investment properties’ are defined by Aedifica as investment properties including assets classified as held for sale and excluding development projects. Marketable investment properties are hence completed properties that are let or lettable.

The fair value is defined by IAS 40 and IFRS 13 as ‘the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date’. The IVSC considers that the definition of fair value under IAS 40 and IFRS 13 is generally consistent with market value.

1. The valuation expert values only a part of Aedifica’s portfolio and does not take responsibility for the valuation of the portfolio as a whole. The valuation expert therefore signs only for the accuracy of the figures of the assets he values. No further liability for any other valuation expert will be accepted.

2. In this context, the transfer costs require adaptation to the market conditions. Based on the analysis of a large number of transactions in Belgium, the Belgian experts acting at the request of publicly traded real estate companies, reunited in a working group, came to the following conclusion: given the various ways to transfer property in Belgium, the weighted average of the transfer costs was estimated at 2.5%, for investment properties with a value in excess of €2.5 million. The investment value corresponds therefore to the fair value plus 2.5% of transfer costs. The fair value is also calculated by dividing the investment value by 1.025. Properties in Belgium below the threshold of €2.5 million remain subject to usual transfer costs (10.0% or 12.5% depending on their location). Their fair value corresponds thus to the value excluding transfer costs. Assets located in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden and Ireland are not concerned by this footnote. In the assessment of their investment value, the usual local transfer costs and professional fees are taken into account.

This report includes our opinion on the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended 31 December 2021 and the disclosures (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 11 May 2021, 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 2023. We performed the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group during 10 consecutive years.

Report on the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Unqualified opinion

We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aedifica SA, that comprise of the consolidated balance sheet on 31 December 2021, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated Statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement of the year and the disclosures, which show a consolidated balance sheet total of € 5.161.867 thousand and of which the consolidated income statement shows a profit for the year of € 282.825 thousand.

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 2021, and of its consolidated results for the year then ended, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”) 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 (“ISAs”). 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 Investment Properties

Description of the key audit matter

Investment property amounts to a significant part (94%) of the assets of the Group. In accordance with the accounting policies and IAS 40 standard “Investment property”, investment property is measured 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 in the fair value hierarchy as defined within the IFRS 13 standard “Fair Value Measurement”. Some assumptions used for valuation purposes are based on data that can be observed only to a limited extent (discount rate, future occupancy rate, …) and therefore require judgement from management. The audit risk appears in the valuation of these investment properties and is therefore considered a Key Audit Matter.

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 source data (contractual rentals, maturities of the rental contracts, …) used in their calculations and reconciled with underlying contracts,
* assessed the models and assumptions used in their reports (discount rates, future occupancy rates, …).

Finally, we have assessed the appropriateness of the information on the fair value of the investment properties disclosed in note 22 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation Financial Instruments

Description of the key audit matter

The Group uses interest rate swaps (IRS) and options (CAPs) to hedge its interest rate risk on its variable rate debts and has concluded forward exchange rate contracts during the financial year to hedge the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The measurement of the derivatives at fair value is an important source of volatility of the result and/or the shareholders’ equity.

In accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, these derivatives are valued at fair value (considered to belong to the level 2 in the fair value hierarchy defined by IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”). The changes in fair value are recognized in the income statements except for some IRS for which the Group applies hedge accounting (“cash-flow hedging”), which allows to classify most of the changes in fair value in the caption of the shareholders’ equity (“Reserve for the balance of changes in fair value of authorized hedging instruments qualifying for hedge accounting as defined under IFRS”).

The audit risk appears on the one hand in the complexities involved in determining the fair value of these derivatives and on the one hand in the correct application of hedge accounting for the IRS contracts that were classified by the Group as cash flow hedges and are therefore a key audit matter.

Summary of the procedures performed

  • We have compared the fair values of the derivatives with the values communicated by the counterparties and the credit risk adjustments calculated by an external specialist. We have assessed the most important assumptions and the calculations performed by this external specialist.

3 Goodwill impairment

Description of the key audit matter

In January 2020, Aedifica acquired its Finnish subsidiary Hoivatilat resulting in a goodwill in Aedifica NV's Consolidated Financial Statements amounting to EUR 161,7 million. In conformity with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, the Group carries out impairment tests at least once a year. Management's assessment of potential impairments on this goodwill is based on a discounted cash flow method (DCF) of the underlying participation in Hoivatilat, which is based on budgets approved by the Board of Directors of the subsidiary. This analysis requires judgments and assessments by management of the assumptions used, including the determination of Hoivatilat's future cash flows as well as the determination of the discount rate, which are complex and subjective. Changes in these assumptions could lead to material changes in the estimated value, which may have a potential effect on potential impairments that need to be recorded at the level of goodwill, and is therefore considered a Key Audit Matter.

Summary of the procedures performed

  • We have evaluated management’s process to identify the impairment indicators;
  • We have assessed the valuation methods used by management to determine Hoivatilat’s recoverable value as well as the reasonableness of the key assumptions (discount rate and future cash flows) used in management's assessment of the recoverable values (with the help of our internal valuation specialists);
  • We have assessed the reasonableness of future cash flows included in the goodwill valuation test based on historical results and the available business plan and have verified that those future cash flows are based on business plans approved by the Board of Directors;
  • We have tested the mathematical accuracy of valuation models;
  • We have assessed the accuracy of management's sensitivity analysis;
  • We have evaluated the adequacy and completeness of the information included in note 20 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 IFRS 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.

4 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 ISAs 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 ISAs, 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.## Audit report dated 30 March 2022 on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aedifica SA as of and for the year ended 31 December 2021 (continued)

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.

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.

Aedifica – Annual Financial Report 2021 – 78

Since 1 January 2011, the expert fee excluding VAT is determined as a fixed amount per type of property appraised.

Valuation methodology

The valuations are established on the basis of several widely used methodologies:
- Application of a capitalisation rate to the estimated rental value adapted for actual deviations as regards rental income and operating expenses on a going concern basis.
- Computation of the present value of future cash flows based on assumptions regarding future income (DCF method) and the exit value. The discount factor takes into account the interest rate on financial market as well as a risk premium specific to real estate investments. The impact of expected changes in inflation and interest rates is hence embedded in a conservative way in this evaluation.
- These assessments are also tested by reference to unit prices recorded when similar properties are sold, taking into account deviations arising from differences in the characteristics of the property.
- Development projects (constructions, renovations, extensions) are valued by deducting the costs upon completion of the projects from the anticipated value determined by applying the abovementioned methodologies. Costs incurred in the preliminary phase of construction, renovation or extension projects are considered at their historical value.

- ING Belgium NV/SA, located avenue Marnix 24 in 1000 Brussels (main paying agent);

3.3 Capital increase (Article 6.3 of the Articles of Association)

Every capital increase must take place in accordance with the Code of companies and associations and the RREC Legislation.

(a) Cash contribution

In case of a capital increase by means of a cash contribution pursuant to a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting or in the context of the authorised capital as provided for in Article 6.4 of the Articles of Association, and without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions of the applicable company law, the preferential subscription right of the shareholders may be restricted or cancelled to the extent that the existing shareholders are granted a priority allocation right when new securities are allocated.

When applicable, this priority allocation right must comply with the following conditions as set out in the RREC Legislation:
- 1) it must relate to all newly issued securities;
- 2) it must be granted to 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;
- 4) the public subscription period must last for at least three trading days.

Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory provisions of the applicable company law, the priority allocation right, in any case, does not have to be granted, in case of contribution in cash subject to the following conditions:
- 1) the capital increase is executed within the limits of the authorised capital;
- 2) the cumulative amount of the capital increases, executed in accordance with this paragraph, over a period of 12 months, do not exceed 10% of the capital amount at the moment of the decision to increase the capital.

Without prejudice to the mandatory provisions of the applicable company law, the priority allocation right does not have to be granted in case of a cash contribution with restriction or cancellation of the preferential subscription right, in addition to a contribution in kind in the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend, provided that this is actually made payable to all shareholders.

(b) Contribution in kind

Without prejudice to the provisions of the Code of companies and associations, the following conditions must be complied with, in accordance with the RREC Legislation, in case of a contribution in kind:
- 1) the identity of the contributor must be mentioned in the report regarding the contribution in kind, as well as, if applicable, in the convocation of the general meeting that is convened for the capital increase;
- 2) the issue price may not be less than the lowest amount of (a) a net value per share that dates from no more than four months before the date of the contribution agreement, or, at the Company's discretion, before the date of the deed effecting the capital increase and (b) the average closing price during the thirty-day period prior to that same day. It is permitted to deduct an amount from the amount referred to in item 2(b) that corresponds to the portion of the undistributed gross dividend to which the new shares would potentially not confer any right, provided that the Board of Directors specifically accounts for the

- 3) unless no later than the working day after the execution of the contribution agreement the issue price or, in the case referred to in Article 6.5 of the Articles of Association, the exchange ratio, as well as the relevant terms and conditions are determined and publicly disclosed, including the term within which the capital increase will actually be implemented, the deed effecting the capital increase must be executed within a maximum term of four months; and
- 4) the report referred to above under item 1) must also explain the impact of the proposed contribution on the position of the existing shareholders, in particular as regards their share in the profit, in the net value per share and in the capital, as well as the impact in terms of voting rights.

In accordance with the RREC Legislation, these additional conditions will not apply to the contribution of the right to a dividend for the purpose of distributing an optional dividend, insofar as this will actually be made payable to all shareholders.

3.4 Authorised capital (Article 6.4 of the Articles of Association)

The Board of Directors is authorised to increase the capital in one or more instalments, on the dates and in accordance with the terms and conditions as will be determined by the Board of Directors, by a maximum amount of:

  • 1) 50% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of 30 July 2021, as the case may be, rounded down to the euro cent for capital increases by contribution in cash whereby the possibility is provided for the exercise of the preferential subscription right or the priority allocation right by the shareholders of the Company,
  • 2) 50% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of 30 July 2021, as the case may be, rounded down to the euro cent for capital increases in the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend,
  • 3) 10% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of 30 July 2021, as the case may be, rounded down to the euro cent for
    a. capital increases by contribution in kind,
    b. capital increases by contribution in cash without the possibility for the shareholders of the Company to exercise the preferential right or priority allocation right, or
    c. any other kind of capital increase, provided that the capital within the context of the authorised capital can never be increased by an amount higher than the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting that has approved the authorisation (in other words, the sum of the capital increases in application of the proposed authorisations cannot exceed the amount of the capital on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting that has approved the authorisation).

This authorisation is granted for a renewable period of five years, calculated from the publication of the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 30 July 2021, in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette.# 3.3 Capital increases (Article 6.3 of the Articles of Association)

For each capital increase, the Board of Directors will determine the price, the issue premium (if any) and the terms and conditions of issue of the new securities. The capital increases that are thus decided on by the Board of Directors may be subscribed to in cash, in kind, or by means of a mixed contribution, or by incorporation of reserves, including profits carried forward and issue premiums as well as all equity components under the Company’s statutory IFRS financial statements (drawn up in accordance with the regulations applicable to the regulated real estate companies) which are subject to conversion into capital, with or without the creation of new securities. These capital increases can also be realised through the issue of convertible bonds, subscription rights or bonds repayable in shares or other securities which may give rise to the creation of the same securities. Any issue premiums will be shown in one or more separate accounts under equity in the liabilities on the balance sheet. The Board of Directors is free to decide to place any issue premiums, possibly after deduction of an amount at most equal to the costs of the capital increase in the meaning of the applicable IFRS-rules, on an unavailable account, which will provide a guarantee for third parties in the same manner as the capital and which can only be reduced or abolished by means of a resolution of the general meeting deciding in accordance with the quorum and majority requirements for an amendment of the Articles of Association, except in the case of the conversion into capital. If the capital increase is accompanied by an issue premium, only the amount of the capital increase will be deducted from the remaining available amount of the authorised capital. The Board of Directors is authorised to restrict or cancel the preferential subscription right of shareholders, even in favour of one or more specific persons other than employees of the Company or of one of its subsidiaries, provided that, to the extent required by the RREC Legislation, a priority allocation right is granted to the existing shareholders when the new securities are allocated. Where applicable, this priority allocation right must comply with the conditions that are laid down in the RREC Legislation and Article 6.3(a) of the Articles of Association. In any event, it does not have to be granted in those cases of contribution in cash described in Article 6.3(a) paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 of the Articles of Association. Capital increases by means of contributions in kind are carried out in accordance with the conditions of the RREC Legislation and the conditions provided for in Article 6.3(b) of the Articles of Association. These contributions may also be based on the dividend right in the context of the distribution of an optional dividend. The Board of Directors is authorised to record the ensuing amendments to the Articles of Association in an officially certified deed.

  • set up in the form of a limited liability Company (‘NV/SA’) or limited partnership by shares (‘CommVA/ SCA’);
  • set up on the basis of the RREC legislation (Law of 12 May 2014 and Royal Decree of 13 July 2014);
  • quoted on the stock exchange, where at least 30% of shares are traded on the market;
  • a Company of which the sole purpose is:

  • (b) within the limits set out in the RREC Legislation, to possess real estate as specified in the RREC Act. The notion real estate is to be understood as ‘real estate’ within the meaning of the RREC Legislation;
  • (c) to conclude with a public client or to accede to, in the long term directly or through a company in which it holds a participation in accordance with the provisions of the RREC Legislation, where applicable in cooperation with third parties, one or more:
    * (i) DBF-agreements, the so-called ‘Design, Build, Finance’ agreements;
    * (ii) DB(F)M-agreements, the so-called ‘Design, Build, (Finance) and Maintain’ agreements;
    * (iii) DBF(M)O-agreements, the so-called ‘Design, Build, Finance, (Maintain) and Operate’ agreements; and/or
    * (iv) public works concession agreements with respect to buildings and/or other infrastructure of an immovable nature and related services, and on the basis of which:
  • (i) it is responsible for ensuring the availability, maintenance and/or exploitation for a public entity and/or the citizen as end user, in order to fulfil a social need and/or to enable the provision of a public service; and
  • (ii) it may bear, in whole or in part, the related financing, availability, demand and/or operational risk, in addition to any potential building risk, without therefore necessarily having any rights in rem; and
  • (d) to develop, cause to develop, establish, cause to establish, manage, allow to manage, operate, allow to operate or make available, in the long term directly or through a company in which it holds a participation in accordance with the provisions of the RREC legislation, where applicable in cooperation with third parties:
    * (i) public utilities and warehouses for transport, distribution or storage of electricity, gas, fossil or non-fossil fuel and energy in general and associated goods;

    * (iii) installations for the generation, storage and transport of renewable or non-renewable energy and associated goods; or
    * (iv) waste and incineration plants and associated goods.

RRECs are regulated by the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) and have to follow extremely strict rules governing conflicts of interest. Until 17 October 2014, ‘REIT’ or ‘Belgian REIT’ referred to the status legally known in Belgium as ‘sicafi’ (French) or ‘vastgoedbevak’ (Dutch). As from 17 October 2014, ‘REIT’, ‘Belgian REIT’ or ‘RREC’ refers to ‘société immobilière réglementée’ (SIR, in French) or ‘gereglementeerde vastgoedvennootschap’ (GVV, in Dutch), also translated as ‘regulated real estate Company’ (RREC).

4.2 Particular regulations

Real estate property

A public RREC may invest a maximum of 20% of its consolidated assets in real estate properties which form a single real estate complex. The FSMA can give an exemption under certain circumstances.

Accounting

European legislation specifies that RRECs, along with all listed companies, must prepare their consolidated annual accounts in accordance with the IAS/IFRS international standards. This also applies to the statutory accounts (under IFRS). Given that investment properties constitute their main assets, RRECs must pay particular attention to appraising the fair value of their properties (i.e., applying IAS 40).

Valuation

Real estate properties are assessed at their fair value on a quarterly basis by independent valuation experts and recorded in the balance sheet at this value. Depreciation is not recognised on investment properties.

RRECs are regulated by the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) and have to follow extremely strict rules governing conflicts of interest. Until 17 October 2014, ‘REIT’ or ‘Belgian REIT’ referred to the status legally known in Belgium as ‘sicafi’ (French) or ‘vastgoedbevak’ (Dutch). As from 17 October 2014, ‘REIT’, ‘Belgian REIT’ or ‘RREC’ refers to ‘société immobilière réglementée’ (SIR, in French) or ‘gereglementeerde vastgoedvennootschap’ (GVV, in Dutch), also translated as ‘regulated real estate Company’ (RREC).

4.2 Particular regulations

Real estate property

A public RREC may invest a maximum of 20% of its consolidated assets in real estate properties which form a single real estate complex. The FSMA can give an exemption under certain circumstances.

Accounting

European legislation specifies that RRECs, along with all listed companies, must prepare their consolidated annual accounts in accordance with the IAS/IFRS international standards. This also applies to the statutory accounts (under IFRS). Given that investment properties constitute their main assets, RRECs must pay particular attention to appraising the fair value of their properties (i.e., applying IAS 40).

Valuation

Real estate properties are assessed at their fair value on a quarterly basis by independent valuation experts and recorded in the balance sheet at this value. Depreciation is not recognised on investment properties. Aedifica – Annual Financial Report 2021 – 90

Profit or loss

As return on capital, the Company is required to distribute a sum corresponding to at least the positive difference between the following amounts: - 80% minimum of the amount equal to the sum of the adjusted result and of the net capital gains on the realisation of properties that are not exempt from mandatory distribution; and - and the net decrease in the debt of the public RREC during the financial year.

Debt

The debt-to-assets ratio of the public RREC and its subsidiaries, and the statutory debt-to-assets ratio of public RRECs, may not exceed 65% (other than by the change in the fair value of assets) of total consolidated or statutory assets, after deduction of authorised hedging instruments. When exceeding the threshold of 50%, a financial plan with an implementation schedule must be elaborated, describing the measures taken to prevent the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio from exceeding the threshold of 65%.

Financing

A RREC may not provide financing, except to its subsidiaries.

Fiscal status

A RREC is not subject to corporate tax (except on non-recoverable expenses and abnormal or benevolent benefits), provided that at least 80% of corrected profit is distributed in the form of dividends. Refer to section 4 of chapter ‘Risks factors’ of this Annual Financial Report. Companies – other than RRECs or specialised real estate investment funds – which were, or are, absorbed by the Company, owe an exit tax on their unrealised capital gains and exempted reserves. When real estate is acquired through a merger in which the Company acquires a normally taxed real estate company, an exit tax is owed on the deferred capital gains and tax-exempt reserves of the real estate company (taxable merger). For transactions as from 1 January 2020, the exit tax rate amounts to 15%. The additional crisis contribution is eliminated as from the 2021 tax year. For corporate restructurings, the tax year is equal to the calendar year in which the transaction takes place.

Tax year Exit tax
2018 12.875% (12.5% + 3% of additional crisis contribution)
2019 12.75% (12.5% + 2% of additional crisis contribution)
2020 15.3% (15% + 2% of additional crisis contribution)
2021 15% (without additional crisis contribution)

The withholding tax on dividends distributed by Aedifica amounts to 15%. Pursuant to Articles 89, 90 and 91 of the Act of 18 December 2016, RRECs benefit from a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% (instead of 30%), provided that at least 80% of the Company’s real estate portfolio is (directly or indirectly) invested in real estate properties which are situated in a member state of the European Economic Area and which are exclusively or primarily destined for care and housing units suited for healthcare. Aedifica's shareholders benefit from this reduced rate as more than 80% of the Company's portfolio is invested in senior housing. Belgian RRECs (SIR/GVV) are investment instruments which can be compared to the Dutch FBI (Fiscale BeleggingsInstellingen), the French SIIC (Société d’Investissement Cotée en Immobilier) and the REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) which exist in a number of countries, including the United States.

4. Glossary

1. Definitions

Acquisition value

The acquisition value is the agreed value between parties on the basis of which the transaction is performed. If the acquisition of a building takes place by cash payment, through the acquisition of shares of a real estate Company, through the non-monetary contribution of a building against the issue of new shares, by merger through takeover of a property, or by a partial de-merger, the deed costs, audit and consultancy costs, reinvestment bank fees and costs of lifting security on the financing of the absorbed Company and other costs of the merger are also considered as part of the acquisition cost and capitalised in the asset accounts on the balance sheet.

Alternative performance measures (APM)

Since many years, Aedifica uses in its financial communication Alternative Performance Measures according to the guidelines issued by the ESMA on 5 October 2015. Some of these APM are recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) and others have been defined by the industry or by Aedifica in order to provide readers with a better understanding of its results and performance. The APM used in this annual financial report are identified with an asterisk (*). The performance measures which are defined by IFRS standards or by Law are not considered as APM, neither are those which are not based on the consolidated income statement or the balance sheet. The APM are defined, annotated and connected with the most relevant line, total or subtotal of the financial statements, in the notes of the financial statements or in EPRA chapter.

Closed period

Period during which any officer or any person covered on the lists established by the Company in accordance with Article 6.5 of the Corporate Governance Charter, as well as any person who is closely related to them, may not carry out any trading of Aedifica shares. Closed periods are shown in the corporate governance statement.

Contractual rents

Indexed rents, including rental guarantees, but excluding cost of rent-free periods for occupied surface area.

Debt-to-assets ratio

The Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 regarding RRECs defines the debt-to-assets ratio as follows: ‘Total liabilities’ in balance sheet - I. Non-current liabilities – A. Provisions - I. Non-current liabilities – C. Other non-current financial liabilities - Hedges - I. Non-current liabilities – F. Deferred taxes liabilities - II. Current liabilities – A. Provisions - II. Current liabilities – C. Other current financial liabilities - Hedges - II. Current liabilities – Accrued charges and deferred income as provided in the annexes of the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on RRECs. / Total assets less authorised hedging instruments ≤ 65%

Double net

Type of contract under which the repair and maintenance of the roof, structure and facades of the building remain the responsibility of the owner while other costs and risks are borne by the operator. This type of contract is common for senior housing in Germany.

EBIT margin

Operating result before result on portfolio divided by net rental income.

EPRA

European Public Real Estate Association is an association, founded in 1999 in order to promote, develop and regroup listed European real estate companies.# EPRA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

EPRA Earnings*

Aedifica uses EPRA Earnings* to comply with the EPRA’s recommendations and to measure its operational and financial performance; however, this performance measure is not defined under IFRS. It represents the profit (attributable to owners of the Parent) after corrections recommended by the EPRA. In Aedifica’s case, the EPRA Earnings* corresponds perfectly to the result excl. changes in fair value, which was previously used in Aedifica’s financial communication. The EPRA Earnings* is calculated in Note 19 (in accordance with the Aedifica model) and in the EPRA chapter of the Annual Financial Report (in accordance with the model recommended by EPRA).

Estimated rental value (ERV)

The estimated rental value (ERV) is the rental value as determined by independent valuation experts.

Exit tax

Companies applying for approved RREC status, or which merge with a RREC, are subject to an exit tax. This tax is similar to a liquidation tax on net unrealised gains and on tax-exempt reserves. See section 5.2 of the Standing Documents for more information on the current exit tax rates.

Fair value

The fair value of the Belgian investment properties is calculated as following:
- Buildings with an investment value over €2.5 million: Fair value = investment value / (1+ average transaction cost rate defined by the BE-REIT Association)
- Buildings with an investment value under €2.5 million:
1. when the expert considers a building can be sold in units, the fair value is defined as the lowest value between the investment value in units / (1 + % transfer taxes depending on the region where they are located) and the investment value / (1 + average transaction cost rate defined by the BE-REIT Association);
2. when the expert considers a building cannot be sold in units, the fair value is the investment value / (1 + % transfer taxes depending on the region where they are located).

The average transaction cost rate defined by the BE-REIT Association is reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary in 0.5% increments. The Belgian experts attest the deduction percentage retained in their periodic reports. The fair value of investment properties located abroad take into account locally applicable legal costs.

Free float

Percentage of shares held by the public, according to the Euronext definition.

Gross dividend yield

Gross dividend per share divided by the stock market price as of closure.

Gross yield of the portfolio

For the total portfolio: (contractual rents + guaranteed income) / investment value, acquisition value or fair value of the concerned buildings.

IFRS

The international accounting standards (IFRS, or International Financial Reporting Standards, previously called IAS, or International Accounting Standards) are drawn up by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). European listed companies have been obliged to apply these standards in their consolidated accounts since the financial year commencing on or after 1 January 2005. Since 2007, RRECs have also been required to apply IFRS in their statutory accounts.

Profit to be paid out (or corrected profit)

The Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 regarding RRECs defines the profit to be paid out (or corrected profit) as follows:

The Company must distribute, as return on capital, an amount corresponding at least to the positive difference between the following amounts:

  • 80% of an amount equal to the sum of the adjusted result (A) and the net capital gains on realisation of investment properties not exempt from the obligation of distribution (B).

(A) and (B) are calculated according to the following scheme:

Corrected profit (A)

Profit of loss + Depreciations + Write-downs - Reversals of write-downs - Writeback of lease payments sold and discounted ± Other non-cash items ± Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties ± Changes in fair value of investment properties = Corrected profit (A)

Net capital gains on realisation of investment properties not exempt from the obligation of distribution (B)

± Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties during the financial year (gains and losses compared to the acquisition value plus capital expenditures) - Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties during the financial year, exempted from the obligation of distribution, subject to reinvestment within 4 years (gains compared to the acquisition value plus capital expenditure) ± Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties earlier exempted from the obligation of distribution and not reinvested within 4 years (gains and losses compared to the acquisition value plus capital expenditures) = Net capital gains on realisation of investment properties not exempt from the obligation of distribution (B)

And

  • net decrease during the financial year of the debt of the public RREC, as provided in Article 13 of the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 (see definition of the debt-to-assets ratio).

Result on portfolio

The Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 regarding RRECs defines the result on portfolio as follows:

Gains and losses on disposals of investment properties - Gains and losses on disposals of other non-financial assets ± Changes in fair value of investment properties

Transfer taxes

The transfer of ownership of a property in Belgium is subject to the payment of transfer taxes. The amount of these taxes depends on the method of transfer, the type of purchaser and the location of the property. The first two elements, and therefore the total amount of taxes to be paid, are only known once the transfer has been completed.

The range of taxes for the major types of property transfer includes:

  • Sale of properties: 12.5% for properties situated in the Brussels Capital Region and in the Walloon Region, 12% for properties situated in the Flemish Region;
  • Sale of real estate under the rules governing estate traders: 4.0 to 8.0%, depending on the Region;
  • Surface and long lease agreements for real estate (up to 50 years for surface rights and up to 99 years for the long lease right): 2%, or 0.5% if the tenant is a non-profit organisation);
  • Sales of properties where the purchaser is a public body (e.g. an agency of the European Union, the Federal Government, a regional government or a foreign government): tax exempt;
  • Contribution in kind of real estate property against the issue of new shares in favour of the contributing party: tax exempt;
  • Sale of shares of a real estate Company: no taxes;
  • Merger, split and other forms of Company restructuring: no taxes;
  • etc.

The effective rate of the transfer tax therefore varies from 0 to 12.5%, whereby it is not possible to predict which rate would apply to the transfer of a given property before that transfer has effectively taken place.

N.B. We note that, following the interpretations of IFRS by the Belgian Asset Managers Association (BEAMA), the book value of the investment properties under IFRS on the balance sheet is calculated by the expert by deducting a fixed percentage of transfer tax (currently 2.5%) from the investment value. However, for investment properties with a value of less than €2.5 million, the transfer taxes to be deducted vary depending on the rates applicable given the building’s location.
