Caring for quality of life
As a developer and investor in healthcare real estate, Aedifica wants to offer buildings that are sustainable and futureproof without losing sight of what matters most to us: the end user’s quality of life. And that includes both the care client and the care staff. Our aim is to give people the space to receive care in the way they prefer and to make it as easy and pleasant as possible to provide that care.
In our buildings, there are several aspects that contribute to the quality of life of the user. So who better to talk about this than a few people who themselves live, work or maintain our buildings day in, day out? Jef, Sara, Martin, Saksia, Arto, Niko and Marloes explain it to you in their own words.
Healthcare real estate, it seems, needs first and foremost to be a safe home that offers people security and enables them to live as independently and with as much dignity as possible, giving them the space to ‘do their own thing’. The location, design and layout of the building have a major influence on this, but innovative technology also plays a key role. Reading the stories, I am also struck by how much our care properties are meeting places that create connections.# Caring for quality of life
This is Aedifica
Strategy & value creation
Business review
Both between residents and care staff and with the local community in which the building is located. That sense of connection is vital for people's well-being. As a property owner, we contribute to this by offering concepts that respond to that social aspect. Pleasant communal living areas have an impact, but equally, opening up the care facility's restaurant can create engagement with the local community. These are just a few examples of how our expertise in healthcare real estate can make a difference to the residents of our buildings and the staff who work there. I would like to thank our seven experts by experience for bringing their stories here. I hope that through their stories you will get a better idea of the added value to society that we create at Aedifica.

Business review
Jozef Lemmens (78), ‘just call me Jef’, is a happy man. That is the conclusion he draws involuntarily himself as a resident of the recently extended care home ‘tSpelthof in Lubbeek, Belgium. ‘I like being here, I have a room with a view to nature, I have people around me, I can do my chit-chat every day and I enjoy the good food.’
A new kitchen
‘I have a great life here,’ Jef says with a broad smile. ‘Every day starts with looking outside from my bed, at the green surroundings and the light coming in.’ After breakfast, Jef picks up the mail and carries it around while chatting with other residents. Then he checks his pluviometer and feeds the ducks in the pond. 'Since the renovation, we have our own kitchen, which is quite an improvement,' says Jef. The cook will later add that people have been eating more since then. Food is an important aspect for the residents: 'We even have a dining committee that has a say in the menu,' Jef reveals. 'The freshly prepared chicken soup is the speciality of the house.'
Connection
‘Actually, every day here is exciting, there are always activities.’ Then Jef gets serious for a moment. ‘How would I describe what quality of life means to me? Being connected to people. Not being alone, that's already a lot. Homeliness and cosiness, that's what I like. And being able to grow old actively in a safe and secure environment, to move freely, to do my own thing and to enjoy myself for at least another 10 years.’
Comprehensive renovation project for enhanced well-being
‘The quality of life of the residents of a care home can improve significantly by smartly renovating the building and its surroundings.’ So says Sara Van de Weyer, the new manager of ‘t Spelthof, where she was head of care until recently. The renovation included upgrading the existing building and expanding from 80 to 125 rooms, installing an in-house kitchen with freshly prepared rather than delivered meals, more outdoor terrace and more car parking. The new wing lets in plenty of light; in the old one, partition walls were removed and the rooms are larger. The fixed carpet has been replaced everywhere by a hygienic and easy-to-maintain linoleum on which service trolleys also roll much more easily. Sara Van de Weyer: ‘There are more lounges where people can meet, knit, read or watch TV. Restructuring per ward provides more storage space nearby, so less time is lost fetching linen or cleaning supplies. There are improved nursing stations and care staff can now use an interactive registration system to quickly tick off all care tasks in the room itself.’
Inclusiveness
The care offer is becoming more varied. That is why Sara is working on a partnership with a nearby psychiatry service to offer that specialised care as well. For Sara, this is part of an increasingly inclusive social project. For instance, she also dreams of a restaurant where anyone can come and eat with the residents or order a meal to take home after a working day. In this way, the residential care home will also become a community hub. Sara: ‘Social cohesion has a very big impact on the quality of life of the residents, the staff and the whole neighbourhood.’

Better quality of life thanks to renovation and technology
The key contribution of infrastructure to the well- being of our residents is that it allows them to continue their habits while experiencing maximum freedom.

Together, they have 43 years of experience on the counter, Martin de Gier as manager of the newly ren- ovated De Merenhoef care home in Maarssen, the Netherlands, and Saskia Gentenaar, formerly in charge of care planning, and now pharmacy manager.
Comprehensive makeover
In 2020, De Merenhoef was thoroughly renovated, resulting in a state-of-the-art care facility. ‘The building was adapted to all new legal obligations and made futureproof again, but we also had an eye for how our residents, caregivers and the neighbourhood can meet each other,’ says Martin de Gier. What did the care home’s makeover entail? More spa - cious rooms, but also larger bathrooms with higher toilets. And further: handholds, no more doorsteps, wider doors and, above all, more living rooms where people can meet in groups of ten. ‘Such a living room is a meeting place, but still small- scale, as it also has a kitchen that is used for the more intimate moment of dinner. Lunch is served for the residents in the large restaurant, where neighbourhood residents are also welcome,’ says Martin. ‘Also, our corridors are now air-conditioned and we now have our own physiotherapy room. Previously, residents had to go to town for that. We now also have our own pharmacy with emergency supplies.’
Smart home
‘The key contribution of infrastructure to the well-be- ing of our residents is that it allows them to continue their habits. We have an open building, where our people can move freely. That is important to feel good and free,’ Martin explains. ‘We are constantly looking for how to offer our residents as much au t- onomy and freedom as possible. That always requires customisation.’ Therefore, all residents are given a wristband with a personalised chip that indicates where residents can go according to their care needs. Should a person with dementia try to leave the build- ing, caregivers can intervene immediately. There are also smart sensors in the rooms that indicate during the night shift when someone falls out of bed.
Eliminating worries to provide better care
'Our core mission is to care for and monitor the well-being of our residents,' says Saskia Gentenaar. ‘Aedifica's expertise unburdened us in upgrading the building so that we could continue to concentrate on what is important to us: providing quality care. Quick response in case of heating or lighting malfunctions that are identified via a remote monitoring system also takes worries out of our hands. So all we have to do is screw in new lights!’ Saskia calls this ‘well-being for care staff’. ‘This allows us to get more involved in providing care to improve our residents' quality of life.’

Strategy & value creation
Business review
When people with care needs move to a residential care centre, they expect to find there - and rightfully so - a new home that allows them to live their lives as they want and are used to. In Malminkartano, near the Finn- ish capital Helsinki, Aedifica subsidiary Hoivatilat has built such a new home. In December 2022, it opened Tukena Tähtiomena, a new service community for the elderly, children and people with a disability.
A new yet familiar place
One of the first residents is 32-year-old Arto Vitikka. He moved to Malminkartano from another group home. When Arto could finally move in, a broad smile appeared on his face, clearly showing the enthusiasm that he himself could not express in words. Both the interior design of his own room and the com - munal areas met with approval. Arto enjoyed moving to a brand-new room in a stylish building where other young people also live. His own cosy living space, well-equipped and spacious, which also offers his own homely kitchen, which Arto did not have before. Moreover, while there is enough privacy, there are also sufficient facilities for the young people to seek each other's company if they wish. The space was designed so that residents can shape their lives as much as possible as they are used to, according to their own tastes and habits. Arto's new home is located in familiar surroundings. He has grown up in Malminkartano since he was 10, and nearby Piianpuisto was his favourite place to play.# Caring for quality of life
This is Aedifica
His parents now live just a few kilometres away, making it easy for them to surprise Arto with visits and pastries. Being able to do his own thing Hiking is Arto's greatest passion. He also receives a lot of encouragement from his new home to keep busy with his familiar hobbies: nature club and music school. Being able to participate in numerous out-door activities in the neighbourhood is a particularly important benefit for him. As such, high-quality care is combined with an independent and fulfilling life in a safe and protected environment. Smart technology Innovative technological tools enable residents to live as independently as possible, but also provide support in terms of safety, mobility and communi- cation. For example, while respecting privacy, the cloud-based remote control room reports residents' follow-up alerts 24/7 and regulates ventilation, heat - ing, lighting, etc. This means residents and care staff do not have to worry about these issues. ‘Safety and comfort are key, and with this we make the daily lives of residents and tenants, as well as property maintenance easier and more enjoyable,’ says Niko Myntinnen, who has been Asset Manager at the Finnish Hoivatilat team since 2017. Safety and comfort are key, making the daily lives of care home residents and tenants, as well as property maintenance easier and more enjoyable. Niko Myntinnen, asset manager

Aedifica's expertise benefits our tenants
Residents of care facilities need to feel at home, they want to retain control over their lives and receive support when needed. Creating the ideal framework for this through tailored buildings is Aedifica's core business. Marloes Kampinga, asset manager

How does healthcare real estate contribute to maximis- ing quality of life for residents and increasing well-being and efficiency for care staff? Or as Marloes Kampinga, Asset Manager of Aedifica’s building portfolio in the Netherlands, puts it more sharply: ‘What do our tenants need to provide quality care and quality of life to their residents?’ Residents of care facilities need to feel at home, they want to retain control over their lives and receive sup - port when needed. Creating the ideal framework for this through tailored buildings is Aedifica's core business.
Experience and expertise
‘Aedifica contributes a lot during the construction and development process,’ says Marloes. ‘Thanks to our experience and expertise and our long-term relation - ships with various tenants, we know what works well and what does not. We can share that knowledge with tenants for whom it is the first (new construction) site or with tenants who are experts in care but not in real estate.’
Some examples
Marloes puts it more concretely. ‘For example, we have suggested tenants to install awnings, which would make indoor spaces cooler and bring down air-con- ditioning costs.’ Sometimes small details can also make a big difference: ‘Black toilet seats are highly visible and recognisable for people with impaired vision or with cognitive problems such as dementia. This makes it easier to estimate the distance to the toilet, for example. Contrast offers help, we learned from a tenant.’
‘The shower tap is better not placed under the shower head,’ Marloes continues. ‘A nurse is often the one who operates the shower tap. If the tap then hangs under the shower head, the nurse will also get wet while washing or showering, which of course cannot be the intention. These nuances promote the well-being of everyone living and working in the care facility.’
Marloes cites another example of welcome expertise: ‘The size of the bathroom and the slope in the bath- room should be tailored to suit the care-dependent user. After all, an elderly person with dementia show- ers differently. The exact size and the right slope, together with the correct positioning of the shower, as far away from the door as possible, will prevent the whole bathroom from getting wet and slippery.’
Profitability
Profitability is also brought up. After all, it is an advan- tage for both Aedifica and the tenant to check whether figures are comparable with the benchmarks Aedifica has from its portfolio. This allows the tenant's busi- ness model and financials to be monitored. This kind of expertise is especially important in a start-up period when occupancy still needs to be built up. ‘Not only do our buildings have to be futureproof, we equally strive for futureproof relationships with our tenants. That benefits everyone,’ Marloes argues.

For more than fifteen years, Aedifica has been building the healthcare real estate of the future. Thanks to our successful strategy, our real estate portfolio has grown by an average of 23% annually to €5.7 billion. In 2022, we again lived up to our ambitions as international reference player by implementing a sizeable number of new investments and completing 40 development projects. The fact that Aedifica's recipe continues to appeal to investors – despite a volatile macroeconomic environment – was reflected in several successful capital increases and by the reaffirmation of S&P’s investment-grade credit rating.

Aedifica's ability to deliver these results demonstrates the resilience of the# Caring for quality of life
This is Aedifica Strategy & value creation Business review
16 – Aedifica - Annual Report 2022
Dear stakeholder,
In 2022, Aedifica demonstrated that it continues to live up to its ambitions as a leading European healthcare real estate investor. With a series of investments in the first half of the year, Aedifica again achieved its investment targets. As the investment climate changed in the second half of the year due to rising interest costs and high inflation, the Group focused on the strength of its balance sheet, execution of its investment programme and portfolio management. As a result, Aedifica – despite the volatile macroeconomic environment – once again posted sound results. In addition, Aedifica has also further ramped up its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. Aedifica's ability to deliver these results demonstrates the resilience of the healthcare real estate sector, which will continue to need additional capacity in the years to come due to the ageing European population.
Investments across Europe
Throughout the year, the Group carried out investments and announced new projects across Europe for approx. €803 million in 57 care properties. Nearly two-thirds of that amount was invested in the UK and Ireland. In Ireland, Aedifica has built a portfolio of almost €300 million in less than two years after its first investments. Upon completion of the development projects, it will exceed €450 million. In Finland, where Aedifica operates as a developer through Hoivatilat, development activities continued successfully with approx. €100 million in new projects announced during the year, two-thirds of which will be realised with public tenants. Furthermore, a total of 40 projects from the investment programme amounting to approx. €295 million were completed. All the investments carried out in 2022 have increased Aedifica’s real estate portfolio to 622 sites with a capacity of nearly 35,600 residents and over 11,500 children. The fair value of the real estate portfolio* increased by approx. €807 million (+16%) to €5,704 million (compared to €4,896 million at the beginning of the financial year). In addition, as of 31 December 2022, the Group has a total investment programme in pre-let development projects and acquisitions in progress of approx. €671 million. Considering this investment programme, Aedifica’s total portfolio is expected to cross the €6 billion mark soon.
Defensive financial profile
Despite the volatile macroeconomic environment, Aedifica boasts a healthy balance sheet. The market’s confidence in the Group’s strategy was reflected not only in the fact that it successfully raised nearly €310 million in equity, but also in S&P’s reaffirmation of its BBB investment-grade credit rating with a stable outlook. As at 31 December 2022, Aedifica’s consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 43.6%. Moreover, financial resources were strengthened during 2022 by contracting approx. €516 million in new long-term bank financing. With its strong balance sheet and ability to raise capital, Aedifica has the resources to meet the challenges of the new financial year.
Sound results
Aedifica has not only focused on investment and growth, but also on managing its existing real estate assets. The result of this effort in 2022 is reflected in an excellent rental income of €273.1 million (€232.1 million a year earlier, an increase of approx. 18%). The EPRA Earnings* are above budget and amount to €181.4 million (€151.5 million a year earlier, an increase of approx. 20%), i.e. €4.76 per share. Aedifica’s total profit amounts to €331.8 million. Aedifica demonstrated its ability to grow 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 9 May 2023 a gross dividend of €3.70 per share. 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.
Putting sustainability into practice
Aedifica focuses on 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, Germany and the Netherlands). In addition, the Group initiated updating its leases with green annexes and quality of care commitments. Aedifica’s ambitious CSR approach is on the right track, as evidenced by the share's recent inclusion in the new BEL ESG index and excellent scores from various ESG assessments. The GRESB score and MSCI rating as well as the Sustainalytics Risk Rating continued to improve, while the Group’s CSR Report was awarded an EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the third year in a row. Moreover, with 59% of new bank financing contracted in 2022 linked to sustainability KPIs, Aedifica underlines its wish to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy.
Future growth
Benefitting from strong fundamental tailwinds such as the ageing European population and the increasing need for futureproof care properties, healthcare real estate will remain an attractive investment category in the years to come. However, we expect 2023 to be more of a transition year in which a new balance needs to be found between investment market and operator expectations on the one hand and increased financing costs on the other. This is likely to translate into a slower investment pace as the Group will focus primarily on executing its committed pipeline while maintaining a strong balance sheet and a debt-to-assets ratio of approx. 45%. Nevertheless, Aedifica will continue to build a portfolio of high-quality buildings offering attractive net returns and further strengthen its position as a European market reference in listed healthcare real estate. For the 2023 financial year, EPRA Earnings* are expected to amount to €5.03 per share. The Board of Directors anticipates a 3% increase in the gross dividend to €3.80 per share.

Alternative Performance Measure (APM) in accordance with ESMA (European Securities and Market Authority) guidelines published on 5 October 2015. For many years, Aedifica has been using Alternative Performance Measures in its financial communications based on the guidelines issued by the ESMA. Some of these APMs are recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) while 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 APMs used in this Annual Financial Report are identified with an asterisk (*). Performance measures defined by IFRS standards or by Law are not considered as APMs, nor are those which are not based on the consolidated income statement or the balance sheet. The APMs are defined, annotated and connected with the most relevant line, total or subtotal of the financial statements, in Note 44 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Weighted average unexpired lease term.
- Based on the fair value (re-assessed every three months). For healthcare real estate, gross yield and net yield are generally equal (‘triple net’ contracts) with operating charges, maintenance costs and rents on empty spaces related to the operations generally being supported by the operator in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and (often) the Netherlands. In Germany, Finland and Sweden (and the Netherlands, in some cases), the net yield is generally lower than the gross yield, with certain charges remaining the responsibility of the owner, such as the repair and maintenance of the roof, structure and facades of the building (‘double net’ contacts).
- To keep Aedifica's reporting simple, properties in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man are presented under the UK portfolio.
- Fair value of marketable investment properties including assets classified as held for sale* and rights of use related to plots of land held in ‘leasehold’ in accordance with IFRS 16.# 2022 Highlights
Nearly €310 million raised on capital markets
Despite the volatile macroeconomic environment, Aedifica completed one capital increase in cash and two capital increases by contribution in kind, raising approx. €309 million and confirming the market’s confidence in our strategy. page 85
Aedifica is a ‘Great Place to Work’
For the second year in a row, Aedifica conducted an employee survey in collaboration with Great Place to Work. Following the survey and an in-depth analysis of the company’s culture, Aedifica was once again recognised as a ‘Great Workplace’, allowing it to carry the Great Place to Work® Certified label in 2023 as well. In a separate survey, our Finnish Hoivatilat team was also awarded the label. page 68
Green lease agreements
Committed to improve the environmental performance of its portfolio and attaining net zero emissions by 2050, Aedifica had developed a green lease annex that will be implemented in each of the countries in which Aedifica operates. It is the basis for the exchange of consumption data and best practices and also provides recommendations on improving the environmental performance of buildings. page 60
First Community Days organised in Belgium
In Belgium, Community Days were organised for the first time, giving employees the opportunity to volunteer for one day in one of our care homes. The concept met with great enthusiasm from the team and will therefore be further rolled out to our teams in other countries in 2023. page 63
Irish portfolio increases to nearly €300 million
A third of all the investments we announced last year targeted Ireland. By the end of 2022, less than two years after our first investments there, Aedifica's Irish portfolio was already close to €300 million. Upon completion of all ongoing development projects, it will exceed €450 million. page 38
Sustainability bond wins award and is included in Bloomberg MSCI Green Bond Index
In September 2021, Aedifica successfully issued a €500 million Sustainability Bond, connecting its CSR ambitions with its financing strategy. In 2022, our bond was included in the Bloomberg MSCI Green Bond Index, which offers investors an objective measure for fixed income securities issued to fund projects with direct environmental benefits. In addition, the bond won the award for ‘Sustainability bond of the year – corporate’ at the 2022 Environmental Finance Bond Awards, where it was praised for its clear environmental and social impact on a sector that is more important than ever before. page 84
Inclusion in BEL ESG index & improvement of all ESG ratings
Aedifica’s ambitious CSR approach is on the right track, as evidenced by the share's recent inclusion in the new BEL ESG index and excellent scores from various ESG assessments. In 2022, the GRESB score and MSCI rating increased, while the Sustainalytics Risk Rating continued to decrease and the Group’s CSR Report was awarded an EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the third year in a row. page 33

This is Aedifica
As an investor and developer, Aedifica specialises in innovative and sustainable real estate that meets the needs of care operators and their clients across Europe, focusing in particular on housing for elderly people with high care needs. We do not just invest in properties, we want to create value for society. Through our buildings, we aim to improve the quality of life of their users and reduce their impact on the environment. Our tailored real estate solutions help our tenants succeed. We make our people thrive by offering them a healthy and inclusive workplace. Our portfolio's rental income provides stable returns for investors. Thanks to our successful strategy over the past seventeen years, Aedifica has established itself as a market reference in listed healthcare real estate in Europe. And we are not done yet.
How we create value
Ageing population
Europe's population is ageing, driving the need for specific healthcare real estate.
Urbanisation
Europe continues to urbanise, creating demand for integrated healthcare real estate concepts with a variety of services.
Consolidation
Private and public care providers increasingly rely on private investors to fund their healthcare real estate infrastructure as they are further expanding or adapting their activities.
Public funding
European governments continue to finance the care needs of their populations with public funds.# Aedifica - Annual Report 2022

Our activities
Acquiring & developing
� We invest in buildings that we lease to care providers.
� We develop high-quality sustainable real estate, either with our own local team in Finland or through partnerships with dedicated developers and operators in other countries. In-house development gives us the flexibility to deliver tailored real estate concepts with multiple (healthcare) services to meet the needs of our tenants and their clients.
� We always pursue value accretive acquisitions and developments while paying constant attention to ESG standards.
Diversifying
� By diversifying the building types within our portfolio and even combining types of care within a single campus, we cater in a flexible way to society’s changing needs.
� Geographical diversification prevents over-reliance on a specific care con - cept or single social security system and enables further diversification of our tenant base.
� By diversifying our tenant base, we also diversify our income streams and mitigate risks related to a specific operator.
Improving
� Committing to achieve net zero emissions for our entire portfolio by 2050, we invest in upgrading our existing buildings to minimise the carbon foot - print and environmental risks while also reducing our operators’ costs.
� In addition to environmental upgrades, we also optimise internal comfort to improve the quality of life of our properties’ users, making our portfolio truly futureproof.
Strengthening
� Building and strengthening relationships with our operators and communi- ties is essential to creating long-term sustainable value. It helps us under- stand the needs we need to cater to, so we can provide them tailored real estate solutions that help them succeed thereby growing our income and creating value for society.
Caring
� By taking good care of our employees, we enable and motivate them in their work to fulfil our company’s purpose. We actively pay attention to the health and well-being of our employees and their families. We invest in the per - sonal development of our staff by offering trainings. In providing a healthy place to work and an attractive remuneration package, we attract and retain the best talent in the industry.

Aedifica creates value for its stakeholders and society at large in a sustainable way. Corporate Social Responsibility is therefore an integral part of our strategy. To structure and maximise our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, we established a CSR framework in 2021 based on a materiality analysis. We paired a number of ambitious goals to that framework, so that we can make targeted progress and commu- nicate about it in an insightful way. Moreover, with these targets, Aedifica is also contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our material issues
For the revision of our CSR framework in 2021, Aedifica conducted a materiality assessment that included a peer review, interviews with internal and external stakeholders and an online survey. The results are shown in the materiality matrix, 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 this matrix, we have updated our CSR framework and set new goals for the future, assuming our responsibility and responding as much as possible to the issues of interest to the Group. The topics that are not in the top right of the matrix are relevant to our industry but are considered less material to Aedifica in the coming years. This does not mean that we are not interested in these topics or that we will not focus on them or communicate about them. It just means that Aedifica's efforts on these topics will have less impact on our day-to-day activities. The ‘Business review’ chapter of this annual report provides more details regarding the 2022 performance on the most material topics. In June 2023, we will also publish a report with additional environmental performance data.

Our CSR framework
Following our 2021 materiality review, we updated our CSR frame- work to enable us to work towards our Company’s purpose and address our key CSR topics. Our CSR framework helps us make sustainability part of everything we do and focus on the issues where we can have the greatest impact. Our Corporate Social Responsibility Framework is focused on three main areas: reducing our environmental footprint, strengthening our stakeholder relationships and continuing to be an attractive organisation that makes its people thrive.

|---|---|---|---|
| Reducing environmental impact, operational costs and risks | Strengthening relationships within the healthcare real estate sector | Being a leader in the healthcare real estate sector | |
| • Measuring and reducing environmental impact • Complying with (future) building regulations • Optimising internal comfort • Stimulating eco-efficient investments by operators and/or third parties • Meeting the needs of future senior housing | • Optimising relationships with operators • Sharing knowledge in the healthcare sector concerning sustain- able real estate • Connecting with our communities and better understanding the needs of clients and operators | • Being the leading healthcare real estate investor in Europe that cares about its residents • Investing in the training and development of our team • Running a robust health & well-being programme • Remaining attractive for future healthcare real estate experts • Providing a work environment | |

Our CSR goals
Following the materiality assessment and the update of our CSR framework in 2021, we have revamped our action plan and committed ourselves to more ambitious CSR goals. These goals allow us to focus our efforts on reducing our environmental impact, and work with key stakeholders (such as employees, shareholders, residents, etc.) to achieve these targets, while maintaining responsible business practices. In the Business Review chapters, you can track how far we have progressed in achieving these objectives.
| Goals | Actions taken in 2022 | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Achieving net zero emissions for our real estate portfolio by 2050 | Portfolio evaluation using CRREM and interim target set for 2030 (long-term targets were set for the Executive Committee). | on track |
| Applying Building Assessment (BA) strategy to 100% of our properties in operation by 2025 | A group-wide platform was implemented to support compliance assessment. | on track |

| Mandatory annual ethics training for employees | 100% of employees have received ethics training. | |
| Implementing a health & well-being programme for employees | Initiatives to improve communication, social cohesion and employee engagement. | ongoing |
UN Global Compact
In addition to its public commitment to the SDGs, Aedifica has endorsed the UN Global Compact, the UN corporate social responsibility initiative, and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
Aedifica is not subject to the Non-Financial Reporting Directive and is also not yet subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) or EU Taxonomy. However, for several years Aedifica has already conceived its Annual Financial Report as a report in which it does not only report on financial information but also on non-financial information. In the 2022 Annual Financial Report Aedifica takes one further step towards a fully integrated report by also integrating our CSR Report. Aedifica will thus no longer publish a separate CSR Report, but only an Environmental Data Report in June 2023 providing an update of our environmental performance, including KPIs.

Aedifica & the SDGs
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are considered a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for us all. The SDGs cover a wide range of sustainable issues such as poverty, health, education, climate change, and environmental degradation, and are a call to action for governments, organisations, and civil society. Aedifica uses the SDGs as an overarching framework to shape its CSR strategy. We have revised our focus on the SDGs following the 2021 materiality assessment and will focus our efforts on four aspects where we can make a meaningful contribution.
Aedifica’s contribution
5. Gender equality
Aedifica strives for equal opportunities for employees at all levels of our organisation. We monitor employee engagement and training opportunities and conduct an annual gender pay gap analysis to reduce inequalities. Within our supply chain and in our interactions with other stakeholders, we aim to promote diversity and equal opportunities.
7. Affordable and clean energy
Investing in energy efficiency is critical to achieving our carbon reduction goal. That is why we invest in advanced technologies that reduce energy consumption, on-site renewable energy generation such as solar, and benchmark the energy intensities of our entire portfolio to identify opportunities and raise operators’ awareness of their relative inefficiencies.
12. Responsible consumption and production
We will introduce a material passport for each (re)development project to better manage the natural resources needed during construction works. This tool will give us a better understanding of our consumption so that we can sustainably manage and efficiently use the available natural resources. We will raise awareness among our tenants to significantly reduce waste production in their operations and increase recycling wherever possible.
13. Climate action
We have developed a building assessment framework that includes a climate change risk assessment to better understand the impact of climate change on our organisation and our operators. We will work with local authorities to create resilient communities. Our carbon pathway lays the foundation to minimise our carbon emissions each year, pursuing the ultimate goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
ESG Ratings
Aedifica has participated in ESG assessments by independent rating agencies to improve and benchmark its efforts and communication on sustainability and check its resilience to long-term and ESG risks. These assessments were conducted within the framework of EPRA Sustainability Reporting and the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). Other rating agencies also publish reports on Aedifica's sustainability performance, such as Sustainalytics and MSCI. Proof that we are on the right track with our CSR approach is reflected in our scores on those ESG assessments. The GRESB score and MSCI rating increased, while the Sustainalytics Risk Rating continued to decrease and the Group’s CSR Report was awarded an EPRA sBPR Gold Award for the third year in a row.
| 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPRA sBPR | Gold | Gold | Gold | Silver + Most Improved |
| GRESB | 68 ** | 66 ** | 57* | – |
| Sustainalytics Risk Rating | Low (11.1) | Low (11.9) | Low (17.8) | – |
| MSCI | A | BBB | BB | BB |
Inclusion in new BEL ESG index
Aedifica’s CSR strategy is not only reflected in good scores on ESG assessments. The Group was also rewarded for its efforts with inclusion in the new BEL ESG index. That index comprises the 20 shares on Euronext Brussels that perform best on ESG criteria, based among other things on their Sustainalytics Risk Rating. At the end of 2022, Aedifica's Sustainalytics Risk Rating was 'Low' with a rating of just 11.1. These excellent ratings are a great reward for the CSR efforts made by the team over the past year. Thanks to our ambitious strategy, we will continue to make progress on CSR topics in the coming years and further improve our ratings.

Our property types
Elderly care homes
Elderly care homes provide long-term accommodation for seniors who continuously rely on collective domestic services, help with daily tasks and nursing or paramedical care.
Senior housing
Senior housing is designed for elderly people who want to live independently with access to care and services on demand. These care properties consist of individual housing units where the elderly live independently, with communal service facilities that can be used on an optional basis.
Mixed-use elderly care buildings
Mixed-use elderly care buildings combine within one building (or within several buildings on one site) housing units for both seniors requiring continuous care and seniors who want to live independently with care services available on demand. Moreover, we invest in care campuses that combine elderly care with other complementary care functions such as day-care centres, medical centres, medical practices, childcare centres, housing for people with a disability, etc.
Childcare centres
In northern Europe, we also invest in childcare centres, either as stand-alone centres or in combination with other care or school facilities. These nurseries (‘pre-school’) provide day care for children aged 0 to 6.
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 shelter for domestic violence, addiction therapy, emergency childcare, special education, etc.

Based on the fair value (re-assessed every three months). For healthcare real estate, the gross yield and the net yield are generally equal (‘triple net’ contracts) with the operating charges, the maintenance costs and the rents on empty spaces related to the operations generally being supported by the operator in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and (often) the Netherlands. In Germany, Finland and Sweden (and the Netherlands, in some cases), the net yield is generally lower than the gross yield, with certain charges remaining the responsibility of the owner, such as the repair and maintenance of the roof, structure and facades of the building (‘double net’ contracts).

European trends
In the European Union, the population of persons older than 80 years of age has increased by approx. 28% over the past decade to more than 27 million people (2022). 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 operators can be divided into three categories: public, non-profit and private operators. Their market share in the various countries differs depending on the local social security system. At European level, private care operators manage approx. 32% of the total number of beds in residential care centres (+400 bps in three years). Care providers in the consolidating private segment are developing their activities in both domestic and foreign markets.
European governments are facing the challenge of addressing several key societal needs. As a result, they are more often focusing on financing care and care dependency rather than providing care as public operators. Also, both private and public operators will have to rely more often on private investors to finance healthcare real estate infrastructure that meets the needs of the ageing population.
At European level, the investment volume in healthcare real estate has increased significantly in recent years (e.g. the investment volume for residential care facilities has increased from approx. €2 billion in 2015 to approx. €12.4 billion in 2022). This trend is expected to continue in the medium to long term, as the driving demographic trend of an ageing population will accelerate from the mid-2020s, while development activity to provide more capacity in terms of specific healthcare infrastructure seems to slow down in the short term due to financial market volatility.
The number of people over 80 in Europe will double to 50 million by 2050. This demographic trend will further increase the demand for healthcare real estate.

Operator market
Belgium
Approx. 30% of the care home beds in Belgium are managed by the public sector, while the non-profit sector and the private sector both operate approx. 35% of the beds. However, there are regional differences: in Flanders, approx. 50% of the beds are managed by the non-profit 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).
Germany
Approx. 54% of care home beds are operated by non-profit operators, 42% by private operators and 4% by public operators. Although the German market is increasingly consolidating and privatising, it remains highly fragmented, with the ten largest private operators currently holding a market share of only 14%.
Netherlands
Approx. 90% of care home beds are operated by non-profit operators. Private operators account for approx. 10% and mainly operate small-scale sites with an average capacity of 24 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.
United Kingdom
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 14% of the total bed capacity, while the top 10 account for 20%.

2. Tackling climate change
2.1 Minimising the impact of climate change on our portfolio
Climate change may lead to warmer summers on the European continent, which may require adjustments to buildings to keep indoor temperatures comfortable for building occupants. This is particularly crucial in elderly care, as this vulnerable group is sen- sitive to high temperatures. This rise in temperatures may lead to a complete rethinking of the way buildings are designed, with more attention paid to active and passive cooling of buildings. Moreover, climate change may lead to sea level rise and extreme weather events that could damage buildings, such as the 2021 floods that affected some of the Group's properties in Germany.
To mitigate climate change risks, we have implemented a building assessment framework (see page 53) that includes a review of 42risk items, carried out at different stages of the building life cycle. As part of this building assessment, we will conduct a comprehen- sive climate change risk assessment in 2023 to better understand the physical and transition risks to our portfolio, organisation, and key stakeholders.

* Engaging with operators to reduce their energy consumption
2.2 Reducing our impact on climate change
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. 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 cooperates with its operators on how to develop, maintain and operate our assets in an efficient, safe and sustainable manner.
Net zero greenhouse gas emissions do not only refer to direct emissions (scope 1), but also to indirect emissions (scopes 2 and3). Aedifica’s greatest challenge will be to reduce scope 3 down- stream carbon emissions (mainly energy consumed by operators and residents) which are more difficult to control. As this requires a comprehensive approach and thorough cooperation with our operators, we have developed a net zero carbon pathway.

2.3 Net zero carbon pathway
In order to achieve carbon neutrality, Aedifica is implementing a net zero carbon pathway addressing every aspect of our busi- ness activities. Each of these activities contributes to our goal of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This will be a challenging journey in which collaboration and knowledge sharing within the industry is essential. Aedifica is committed to accompanying its stakeholders on this journey.
As a property owner, Aedifica's main objective over the next 10years is to reduce the net energy use intensity (nEUI) of its portfolio:
* by upgrading buildings to reduce gross energy demand;
* by generating renewable energy on site to reduce net energy demand from the energy grid.
Moreover, purchasing green energy to meet the remaining net energy demand will have an additional positive impact on decar- bonisation. The science based Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) serves as a tool and benchmark in the annual evaluation of building performance and to guide portfolio development in the various countries where Aedifica operates.
An interim target was set for 2030 to reduce nEUI for the entire Aedifica portfolio to an average of 130 kWh/m², while long-term targets were also set for the Executive Committee.

2.4 Building assessment framework
Aedifica has developed a building assessment framework that provides our technical property management team with a struc- ture to monitor the quality of each building. Although Aedifica is not directly involved in the operation of our care homes, we have an impact on how infrastructure is designed, built and maintained in accordance with evolving regulations and current construction techniques. The building assessment framework is based on three pillars: proper monitoring of the overall maintenance condition, the energy consumption and sustainability character of our buildings and their compliance with all applicable regulations. The sustainability pillar of the building assessment framework provides local Aedifica teams with a roadmap for minimising the environmental impact of their respective portfolio. This framework Building assessment framework
| MAINTENANCE | SUSTAINABILITY | COMPLIANCE |
|---|---|---|
| • Detailed desktop and on-site condi- tion assessments according to the principles of the NEN2767 standard. | • Energy data collection and validation on annual basis. | • Legislation and risk framework – a standardised matrix (adapted to local and regional legislation and regula- tions) to check a building for com- pliance. This ranges from building permits and elevator certificates to flood risk assessments. |
| • On-site visits conducted by our oper- ations team or independent third parties. | • Evaluating the progress of the net zero carbon pathway using the science based CRREM tool. | • Ensuring structural and facility com- pliance to guarantee the health and safety of residents and employees by monitoring and supporting operators in their responsibilities for the techni- cal management of buildings. |
| • Uniform approach across the coun - tries where Aedifica operates. | • Assessing climate change risk adaptation. | |
| • Follow-up actions with operators. | • Defining and implementing sustain- able development guidelines per country. | |
| • Energy labels and energy audits pro - vide input for measures needed to improve energy efficiency (including on-site renewable energy generation) as well as input for the CRREM path- ways per asset. |
defines technical requirements for energy efficiency, environmen- tal aspects (e.g., measures to reduce water consumption and improve biodiversity), health criteria (e.g., ventilation rates for air quality) and quality of life criteria for residents (e.g., accessibility) for future development projects. Our development projects in the Netherlands generally already meet most of these criteria, as the Dutch version of our sustainable development framework is similar to the GPR standard. Moreover, as part of the building assessment, we also carry out a review of 42 risk items. For each development, acquisition and standing investment, we assess a spectrum of potential risks, including loss of general use of the building, flood risk, stability risk, fire risk, explosion risk, environmental impact, energy/sustainability certification and health and safety issues.

2.5 Walking the talk
At every stage of our value creation process, we strive to reduce our impact on the environment by acquiring efficient buildings and (re)developing buildings to optimise energy consumption, user comfort and reduce operating costs for operators.
Heerenhage
- Redevelopment project
- Location: Heerenveen – Netherlands
- Completed in June 2021
- Capacity: 126 residents
- Investment: approx. €22 million
Heerenhage in Heerenveen was completely redeveloped by Aedifica into a sustainable and energy-efficient care campus with 126 apartments for the elderly. With a net energy use intensity of approximately 70 kWh/m², the site was awarded an EPC label ‘A’ on completion. The care campus was built with a high level of compactness and a thoroughly insulated envelope to minimise energy demand and meet (future) comfort requirements as effectively as possible. To meet the remaining energy demand as sustainably as possible, the building was fitted with solar panels and a groundwater heat pump was installed for both space heating and hot water.
Dundalk Nursing Home
- Acquisition
- Location: Dundalk – Ireland
- Acquired in September 2022
- Capacity: 130 residents
- Investment: approx. €21.5 million
Dundalk Nursing Home in the Irish city of Dundalk was acquired by Aedifica in mid-2022. With a net energy use intensity of approximately 85 kWh/m², the newly constructed building was awarded an A3 Building Energy Rating (BER). Besides a thorough insulation of the building envelope, invest - ments were made in renewable energy technologies. Air source heat pumps provide space heating, cooling and hot water. In addition, space heating is distributed at low temperature through an underfloor heating system. A hybrid ventilation system ensures optimum indoor air quality in both private rooms (type C) and communal areas (type D with heat recovery). To reduce electricity consumption, the entire building was equipped with LED lighting.
Seniorenhaus Lessingstrasse
- Development project
- Location: Wurzen – Germany
- Completed in February 2022
- Capacity: 73 residents
- Investment: approx. €7 million
Seniorenhaus Lessingstraße in Wurzen is the first of its kind to meet the high energy efficiency standard 'KfW-EH 40'. With an energy demand of only 40% of a comparable reference build - ing – according to German sustainability regulations – this care home has an estimated net energy use intensity of 85 kWh/m². Aedifica has also invested in renewable energy sources: energy for heating the building is provided by a biomass installation and the roof is equipped with a 67kWp solar panel system. The care home features a loggia, optimising solar exposure and natural daylight. Moreover, the building has a highly insulated and com - pact envelope. The central ventilation system is equipped with heat recovery and can also be used for cooling.

2. Strengthening relationships
2.1 Operator engagement
Partners in healthcare real estate
We are continuously committed to our partners by reaching out to them proactively and maintaining good relationships. In this way, we seek to understand their needs and discuss the issues they find important. This open attitude underpins the Group’s identity and long-term vision.
Building and strengthening relationships with our operators and communities is essential for creating long-term sustainable value. Understanding the needs we have to meet helps us provide them with tailor-made real estate solutions that help them succeed and create value for society.
Ensuring quality of care in our properties
Aedifica's corporate mission is to provide sustainable real estate solutions to our partners so that they can care for and assist people in a safe and well-developed infrastructure that contributes to their dignity and quality of life. As the well-being of the care user is the top priority, we also focus on the care provided in our homes.
32% of our properties have leases with a quality-of-care commitment
As of 2022, we are therefore amending our lease agreements to include an explicit commitment from tenants to:
* provide quality care to the residents in our properties in accordance with the fundamental care standards that apply;
* subscribe to the ethical principles set out in our Charter for Responsible Supplier Relations (see page 65).
We also make agreements with our tenants to share reports of care inspections in order to better monitor the quality of care that is provided in our homes. Over 32% of the leases in our portfolio already include an express commitment by the tenants to observe the quality-of-care standards and report on care inspection reports.

Operator Days
Aedifica understands the challenging context in which our operators have to work every day. Their priority is providing healthcare to people in need and not necessarily the administration and technical maintenance of our buildings. To support our tenants with their real estate issues, Aedifica therefore organises Operator Days in every country where it operates. Once every three years, Aedifica invites representatives of its tenants to participate in Operator Days to exchange knowledge and best practices. Topics covered include:
* efficient property management;
* investments in innovation;
* new real estate-related care solutions;
* climate change risks and opportunities.
By organising these Operator Days in each region where we operate, we can share the knowledge we have gained in different regions and through collaboration with multiple operators.
Operator Days in the UK & Belgium
In 2022, Aedifica organised an Operator Day at The Shard in London. More than 100 representatives of our tenants participated. In March 2023, Aedifica has already organised two additional Operator Days in Ghent and Leuven for its Belgian tenants. These two editions were also a success with over 300 representatives attending.
Operator survey: measuring success
Every two years, Aedifica conducts a dedicated operator engagement survey to better understand areas where we can further improve our organisation and collaboration. As the last survey was carried out in 2021, we will conduct a similar survey in 2023 to update the findings, compare the results and identify key trends in the healthcare sector. The survey results provide useful insights into our current services and interactions, as well as potential additional operator needs and strategic priorities. Once received, the results are analysed and discussed within the Aedifica teams and with the operators themselves. By developing country-specific action plans, these results serve as the basis for improvements in Aedifica's cooperation and dialogue with its tenants.
Focus on the long term
Aedifica focuses on long-term investments. This significantly influences the type of facilities we buy or develop, but also the type of relationships we want to build and maintain with our operators. For this reason, we always analyse the operator’s business plan at the beginning of a project. We typically enter into long-term triple net leases with care home operators. This means that these operators are responsible for the day-to-day management and maintenance of the buildings. We, on the other hand, focus entirely on optimising the buildings and the relationships with our operators. We continuously track trends and research the needs of (future) care home residents so that we can align our investments in healthcare real estate accordingly.
Our operator engagement survey found that environmental performance is not among our operators' top five priorities. But 55% of respondents said they are committed to achieving net zero emissions under the Paris Agreement. As landlord, this means that we will need to work together with our tenants to achieve this overarching goal, discuss green investment opportunities and assess property intensities to identify inefficiencies.
Green lease agreements
In that respect, Aedifica has developed a common frame of reference for cooperation with our operators, which includes reciprocal obligations (e.g. sharing energy data, exchanging best practices, refraining from doing construction works that negatively affect the environmental performance of buildings) on the one hand, and recommendations that provide guidance on how to further improve the environmental performance of the assets on the other hand. This common frame of reference has taken the form of a green lease annex that will become an integral part of the leases in each of the countries in which Aedifica operates. The green lease annex was completed in the course of the 2022 financial year. Over 17% of the leases in our portfolio already have the green lease annex.

Going green
In terms of scope 3 downstream emissions, in our case primarily consisting of emissions from operating care homes (see page 50-51), Aedifica continuously works with its tenants to review Building Assessment results and improve energy efficiency. While the nature of our leases does not allow us to directly intervene in the way tenants operate our buildings, in more and more cases we are finding a common goal in energy efficiency. 2022 was another challenging year for operators partly due to higher energy costs. The need to reduce net energy consumption while providing comfortable homes for residents led to an increased focus on finding energy efficiencies, which ultimately support our goal of reducing our carbon emissions. In an increasing number of cases, cooperation in this area, institutionalised through the green lease agreement (see above), has led to further steps towards energy efficiency, by agreeing to implement the recommendations of energy efficiency audits by operators, with relatively short payback periods. This process encourages innovation, reduces operating costs and is consistent with Aedifica’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions.
At Aedifica we are committed to:
* sharing best practices and benchmarking energy and water intensities;
* formalising environmental collaboration in the form of green leases;
* discussing CSR issues with local teams during Asset Management meetings and Operator Days.
17% of our properties have a green lease annex
We will need to work closely together with industry partners to minimise our collective environmental impact.

Saamborgh Almere Buiten
In March 2022, a brand new Aedifica care home opened its doors in the Dutch city of Almere. After a construction period of about a year and a half, the care property located near Meridiaanpark is ready to welcome 38 elderly people requiring continuous care. Thanks to Aedifica's investments in sustainability and comfort, this nearly zero-energy building effortlessly achieved GPR certification. More than 80% of the energy demand of the building's fixed installations (space heating and cooling, hot water, lighting and ventilation) is provided by renewable energy sources, earning this project an A+++ energy label. As a result of these green investments, the net energy consumption intensity – including plug load – is well below 50 kWh/m². To reduce energy consumption, investments were made in extensive insulation of the building envelope and a balanced ventilation system with heat recovery. The building is not heated with gas, but with a geothermal heat pump. Geothermal energy is also used to cool the building. To meet the site's remaining energy needs, the roof was equipped with solar panels for electricity and solar collectors for hot water supply. Like our other recent development projects in the Netherlands, Saamborgh Almere Buiten also obtained a GPR certificate (Gemeentelijke Praktijkrichtlijn: Municipal Code of Practice). This certificate focuses not only on energy performance, but also on environmental, health, quality of use and future value parameters.# 2.2 Community engagement
Aedifica cares about society and the communities in which it operates. We do this not only by financially supporting a number of charities every year, but also by organising 'Community Days' in which our employees contribute to the well-being of our community in a tangible way.
Community Days
Through Aedifica's Community Days programme, our employees have the opportunity to spend one working day a year volunteering in one of our care properties. This not only allows them to better understand and sharpen their connection with the communities in which we operate, but also allows them to actively contribute to the well-being and health of the residents of our buildings. It also gives our staff a better idea of how we can make our properties even more responsive to the needs of the elderly, thus improving their quality of life.
During a Community Day, a small group of employees visit an Aedifica care property to support as volunteers during entertainment activities, talk to residents and do small chores. In doing so, the programme is always tailored to the needs of the care property and its residents.
In December 2022, Aedifica organised the very first edition of its Community Days in Belgium. During nine days, 44 employees visited five different care homes and performed 189 hours of volunteer work. Both the Aedifica team, the residents and the operators of the care homes were enthusiastic about their experience. Their response was so positive that the programme will be continued in 2023 and rolled out to other countries in which Aedifica has a local team.
The programme varied depending on the venue:
* colleagues helped care workers to make beds, serve meals, organise entertainment activities, chat with residents and therefore were able to participate in the daily life of a care home;
* other colleagues assisted with specific entertainment activities by preparing parties or transporting residents to a Christmas market and taking them for a walk.
For my work, I have often visited care homes, but now I finally had the chance to sit down with residents and chat with them. It was also very nice to get to know my colleagues in a different way. Personally, I rarely visit care homes, so I didn't really know what to expect. It was heartwarming to see how residents feel so at home thanks to the care staff and how happy they were that we were there that day to help them and play games together.

Supporting charities
Through financial support to charities, partnerships with non-profit organisations and in-kind donations, Aedifica brings positive, sustainable change to society. In addition, Aedifica regularly supports charitable initiatives set up by its employees by matching the amount raised. In 2022, Aedifica focused its support to charities on three central themes: improving the quality of life of those in need of care, supporting local communities, and innovation in the healthcare sector. In addition, we have supported the victims of the war in Ukraine.
Improving the quality of life of those in need of care
Drawing on research that demonstrated improvements in the social and emotional skills of Alzheimer’s patients through music therapy, classical concerts were organised in six Dutch care residences in collaboration with the Philomela Foundation. We also supported victims of domestic violence residing in the Pääkaugin Turvakoti shelter in Helsinki. Our contribution enabled the shelter to purchase, among other things, digitisation screens. Lastly, we provided financial support to Escalpade, a Belgian non-profit organisation that organises care, leisure and educational activities and builds adapted schools for people with disabilities.
Supporting local communities
Aedifica helped children in poverty by contributing to Rackets Cubed, a UK-based charity that runs sports, education and nutrition programmes. In Germany, we donated to food bank Frankfurter Tafel. We also provided support to socially vulnerable mothers and their children through Nasci and Mamma United. These Belgian and Swedish organisations address poverty and social exclusion by providing low-threshold first-line assistance. Moreover, Aedifica matched the amount raised by its staff during the 'Warmest Week', a Belgian event that provides financial support to more than 270 projects fighting poverty.
Promoting innovation in the healthcare sector
Aedifica contributes to innovation within the healthcare sector not only with its sustainable real estate concepts, but also by supporting research and development. This year, we donated to the Leuven Brain Institute, which is carrying out research at KU Leuven to find solutions for brain diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, ALS, depression.
Support for victims in Ukraine
Finally, we also provided support to victims of the war in Ukraine. In addition to financial support to Ukrainian children and refugees through UNICEF and UNHCR, Aedifica also provided material support through BEforUkraine, a Belgian non-profit organisation that sends medical supplies to Ukraine and facilitates the accommodation of refugees in Belgium.

As an investor in healthcare real estate, Aedifica contributes to a better society by developing innovative residential care concepts for a wide range of care clients. Our primary focus continues to be on the elderly who require various types of residential care. In recent years, Aedifica has also focused on other types of housing and care facilities, including care facilities for people with disabilities, child day-care centres and schools. In 2022, over 622 properties provided a home to nearly 35,600 residents across Europe, while over 11,500 children were able to take their first steps in our childcare centres.

2.3 Industry engagement
Sharing expertise
As a leader in healthcare real estate, we have a responsibility to invest in our sector, to share knowledge and collaborate with key stakeholders. We do this not only by organising Operator Days (see above), but also by supporting sector associations, participating in industry events and sharing knowledge in panels, seminars and university programmes.
Aedifica is one of the founding members of the Senior Housing & Healthcare Association (SHHA). This European association aims to bring together industry leaders (both operators and investors), share insights with the wider market, help create research and data, and encourage best practices. By doing so, the association also aims to create a wider reach for investment and increase investor confidence and engagement in the sector.
In 2022, Aedifica not only collaborated on a number of SHHA publications, but also participated in panel discussions organised by the association. We also participate in sector events. In 2022, Aedifica's senior management took part in several events related to real estate and investment. Not only to represent the company, but also to participate in panel discussions and conduct workshops. Moreover, at one of our Belgian properties we also organised a sector event ourselves on the possibilities of innovative healthcare real estate to support inclusive care. Moreover, our senior management is also involved in various training and university programmes. CEO Stefaan Gielens is a frequent guest speaker in the postgraduate programme in real estate studies at KU Leuven while other Executive Committee members and country managers also regularly share their knowledge in seminars and education programmes. In addition, each year, we welcome interns to our offices and offer them the opportunity to gain valuable experience in an international work environment.
Driving our CSR approach into the value chain
To further embed sustainable best practices in the real estate market, we have developed a Charter for Responsible Supplier Relations inspired by the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). It clarifies the social, ethical and sustainable responsibilities of suppliers when working with Aedifica. This includes adherence to Aedifica’s business ethics, compliance with labour standards, our anti-bribery and corruption policy and our human rights policy, providing a healthy and safe workplace, and minimising the environmental impact. Through this Charter for Responsible Supplier Relations, Aedifica aims to provide a framework for its main partners in all countries where it operates to jointly respect and promote the 10 fundamental UNGC principles.# Organisation
In addition, Aedifica itself is also making various commitments to build sustainable and balanced relationships with its suppliers.
THOMAS MOERMAN, GROUP GENERAL COUNSEL & COMPLIANCE OFFICER
This Charter for Responsible Supplier Relations provides us with a solid framework for promoting our commitments to sustainable business practices with our partners, who we expect to share and support the same values as Aedifica.

As Aedifica has grown strongly in recent years and moved into new countries, we transformed our hierarchical structure into a functional matrix in 2021. Our objective in doing so was to be as efficient and customer-focused as possible. Moreover, the structure also had to be scalable to new countries, once we have been able to build a sufficiently large portfolio there. Within the new structure, each local team concentrates on Aedifi - ca's core activities, while for support services (Finance, Legal, HR, IT, etc.) it calls on the head office in Brussels. 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. These centres of excellence are coordinated by the head office and cooperate with country representatives.

2. Making our people thrive
2.1 A great place to work
Employee survey
Retaining engaged and motivated staff is key to our company's success. Therefore, in 2022, we organised an employee survey for the second year in a row in collaboration with an independent third party. This provided valuable insight into the priorities of our people and how effectively we were meeting them. It also provided us with the right tools to improve staff well-being and create a happy workforce. This year, we further expanded the scope of the survey: in addition to employees in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, teams in the UK and Sweden were now also surveyed. Following an in-depth analysis of the company’s culture, the survey evaluated our work- place in terms of the level of trust that employees experience in their leaders, the level of pride they have in their jobs, and the degree to which they value their colleagues. With a 92% participation rate, our second survey was again a great success. 82% of staff reported that they were proud to work for Aedifica, with almost nine out of ten employees confirming that they would recommend Aedifica as a great place to work. Aedifica was therefore recognised as a great place to work for the second year in a row, allowing the company to carry the Great Place to Work® Certified label through 2023.
Top survey results:
- pride, honesty, trustworthiness, comradeship and respect emerge as focus areas with the best scores;
- people are treated fairly regardless of sexual orientation, race and gender;
- management is competent running the business;
- this is a physically safe place to work.
9 out of 10 employees would recommend Aedifica as a great place to work
WERNER DIGNEF, HR MANAGER
We are delighted that our staff have recognised Aedifica as a ‘Great Place to Work’ for the second time in a row. I would like to thank all employees for the enthusiasm and commitment they bring every day to make Aedifica such an enjoyable and vibrant place to work.

A diverse organisation
Aedifica believes that diversity, equal opportunities and respect for everyone are fundamental to the proper functioning of the com- pany at all levels, i.e. at the level of its employees and the country managers, but also at Board and Executive Committee level (see pages 108-109). Indeed, when selecting employees and country managers, in addition to the individual skills and competences of a candidate, diversity in all its forms is considered so that a com- plementary team can be established with a good spread in terms of gender, age, education, cultural background, etc. This vision has resulted in a harmonised team that is made up of people from different educational and cultural backgrounds, with a good mix of experience and a balanced gender ratio. Our strong focus on diversity fosters internal creativity, enriches the internal dynamics within Aedifica and contributes strongly to the growth of the Company. This is substantiated by our recent employee survey showing that our employees feel fairly treated, regardless of their race or sexual orientation. In 2022, we had 121 employees of 11 different nationalities working at Aedifica (see page 67). During the year, we welcomed 21 new employees to Aedifica as part of our onboarding programme. 37% of our employees are female.

Attractive remuneration
Our employees' remuneration consists of a fixed and a variable salary, supplemented by fringe benefits (such as a mobility budget, private health insurance and group insurance). The specific com- ponents of the remuneration package may vary from country to country, taking into account local legislation and the social secu- rity system. In principle, all staff are employed on an open-ended employment contract. Employees' variable remuneration is linked to individual performance and is paid annually. Belgian employees benefit from a non-recurrent result-based bonus plan linked to pre-defined collective targets (a mix of financial and non-financial KPIs). Finnish and Swedish staff members benefit from an equity incentive plan based on pre-defined targets related to investment capex and EBIT margin.
Equal pay
How well employees are paid is directly related to their motivation, but this only works if they are treated fairly and equally. This is why we believe in equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender. Aedifica conducts an annual gender pay gap analysis to identify potential imbalances. The female-to-male pay ratio among employ- ees improved from 75% in 2021 to 81% in 2022. That difference stems from a higher number of men in senior management. In equal positions, pay is similar and based on objective criteria such as qualifications, experience and ability, regardless of the employee's gender.

2.2 Talent development
At Aedifica, we have created a workplace culture in which employ- ees receive continuous feedback, in addition to a formal annual per- formance review by their manager. In 2022, 100% of our employees received a performance evaluation and development review. As well as bringing in new talent, we have continued to invest in and develop our current employees, with five employees over the last 12 months receiving a promotion or opportunity to move roles internally within Aedifica. Aedifica actively supports internal staff rotation, as it typically leads to improved skills and a better under - standing of the company culture and internal processes.
Aedifica Academy
In 2022, Aedifica Academy was launched with the aim of promoting the personal growth and development of our employees and fur- ther optimising our organisation.# Training and Development
This training programme not only consists of a series of mandatory training courses on key topics within the company and the industry, but also allows employees to create their own personal and professional development programme. Aedifica Academy builds on Hoivatilat Academy, which our Finnish colleagues established three years ago. In 2022, Aedifica employees received an average of 20.2 hours of training per person, a 14% increase compared to 2021 (17.7 hours).
Mandatory courses
- Compliance training was offered to all employees within the Group. This training refreshed employees' knowledge of the rules in the Code of Conduct, Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, Privacy Policy, Dealing Code and Anti-Money Laundering Policy.
Optional courses
- An ‘Introduction to Investment Analysis’ course was offered to all employees working in Belgium. In this course, employees discover how investments are analysed while applying the theoretical approach to real-world case studies. In addition, the various steps in analysing a new country are also discussed.
- Social media training was offered to the Finnish team. This course discussed the role and possibilities of social media and provided best practices so that employees can contribute to the company's online visibility.
- Employees are encouraged to supplement their own programme in the Academy: in addition to optional courses offered by the Company, employees can also take external courses. These include job-specific training, such as postgraduate programmes in (healthcare) real estate at KU Leuven, as well as soft skills courses.
2023 programme
- The ‘Introduction to Investment Analysis’ course was already offered to all Belgian employees in 2022 and to the teams in the Netherlands and Germany during the first months of 2023. Our other local teams will also have the opportunity during the year.
- Building on the success with the Finnish team, a course on social media will also be offered to the other teams in the second half of the year.

Townhall meetings
We have revised our approach to formal internal communications to provide consistency and clarity to set pieces such as interim and end of year results. This ensures that our strategy is clear and is supplemented by a series of more informal, topical and creative interventions to engage and inform our people on a range of initiatives, ideas and business updates. In 2022, we organised 9 townhall meetings in total. In addition to discussing the financial results every quarter, town hall meetings were organised on the results of the employee survey, our CSR strategy, innovations to our corporate structure and market trends within the sector.
2.3 Health & well-being
At Aedifica, we take ‘housing with care’ seriously in all our business activities. The care principles we apply to our real estate portfolio also apply to our own workforce. By looking after the health and well-being of our employees, we ensure that Aedifica remains an attractive place to work. By embedding our corporate values into our operations, we aim to remain a leader in the healthcare real estate sector.
Employee health & well-being
A Health & Well-being Committee was established in 2021 and met two times in 2022. The Committee includes members of the Human Resources department, head office staff, and representatives of our local teams. The Committee has been working on our employee engagement programme and have prepared an action plan based on the results of the annual employee engagement survey in early 2022. The employee engagement programme will cover topics such as work-life balance, health and safety in the office, employee growth and development, and employee recognition. The committee has already launched a number of initiatives in 2022, such as healthier snacks in the office, the telework policy in Belgium and a sports encouragement programme in Finland, etc.
There were five work-related accidents to report in 2022. However, these were accidents without serious or permanent consequences (one incident in the office due to distraction, one incident during a team building event and three incidents when leaving the office building). We hold regular emergency drills at our head office and first aid can be provided in our offices if needed.
Employee health and safety (H&S-Emp)
| H&S Emp | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Work-related accidents | 5 |
| Lost day rate | 0% |
| Absenteeism rate | 3% |
A better work-life balance with our telework policy
In 2021, Aedifica introduced a telework policy for its employees at its head office in Belgium. This policy allows all employees to work up to 50% of their working hours from home. This flexible arrangement allows staff to reduce their commute and better balance their work and private lives. Following a positive evaluation from employees in Belgium, the policy will be extended in the future to the other countries where Aedifica operates, in accordance with applicable local social legislation. This also plays an important role in attracting people to work for Aedifica, as candidates increasingly ask about this.

3. Ethics, compliance and integrity
Aedifica pursues a business culture characterised by honesty and integrity, a sense of responsibility, strict ethics, and compliance with the statutory rules and corporate governance standards. This has been part of Aedifica’s heritage since its founding in 2005 and we will continue to follow this path. In this context, Aedifica has developed various policies setting out the rules that shape such corporate culture. We seek to continuously improve and professionalise our policies to ensure the highest ethical and compliance standards.
3.1 Code of conduct
Aedifica has developed a Code of Conduct that provides an ethical framework and offers guidelines to its employees on how to behave to live up to the high ethical values and standards we pursue. The Code of Conduct therefore ensures that our employees enhance and protect the good reputation of the Company, more specifically in its relationship with customers, shareholders and other stakeholders, as well as with society in general. The Code of Conduct reflects Aedifica’s core values, including our commitments to respecting human rights, preventing market abuse and fighting corruption, and in that respect it incorporates by reference our other internal ethical policies (Dealing Code, Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and Human Rights Policy). We communicate the Code on our website, our intranet and through mandatory training for all employees. We have a stringent approach to bribery and corruption, fraud, (illegal) misconduct, insider trading, discrimination and all other forms of violations of our Code of Conduct. The effectiveness of, and compliance with, the Code is structurally assessed by:
- actively detecting and investigating any alleged misconduct and taking appropriate disciplinary action if misconduct is substantiated;
- incorporating compliance with the Code of Conduct in our onboarding package for new employees;
- monitoring that all staff (both internal and external) have attended the annual training sessions on the Code of Conduct;
- reporting of incidents to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
All employees are encouraged to report concerns about the Code of Conduct and possible infringements thereof. A special whistle-blowing procedure was created for employees to establish a safe environment to make such reports, in addition to the already existing direct reporting options towards supervisors and the HR team. In 2022, no complaints about alleged infringements of the Code of Conduct were received from employees. More generally, no violations of the Code of Conduct were identified.
3.2 Prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing risks
Aedifica has developed and implemented policies to counter money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation.This allows the Group to subject the establishment of business relationships with customers or the conclusion of transactions with counterparties to a prior assessment of potential money laundering, terrorist financing and reputation risks. After entering into a business relationship, a system of continuous monitoring is put in place. Employees involved in implementing this policy are regularly informed and receive specific training.
3.3 Personal data protection
We are committed to respecting and protecting the privacy rights of our employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers and everyone with whom we do business. Personal data is managed in a professional, lawful and ethical manner, in accordance with our internal and external privacy policy and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We have implemented technical and organisational measures to prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data.
3.4 Cybersecurity
Aedifica relies heavily on various IT systems to collect, analyse and process (financial) information. Good management of the IT infrastructure is of fundamental importance for the Group. A loss, compromise or unavailability of, or major problems with, these systems could cause a disruption of management and investment activities, and a disruption of the internal and external reporting process. Data breaches could jeopardise the confidentiality of our data. Cybersecurity is therefore a high priority for Aedifica, as cybersecurity attacks by nation states, phishing, ransomware and value chain attacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated. With the increasing use of a digital working environment (on-site and at home), the role of IT services in providing seamless access to all corporate resources as well as ensuring information security is more important than ever. To protect our systems and data, and those of our customers and shareholders, we are constantly vigilant and have the necessary measures in place. Aedifica has an IT team assisted by an external partner in managing the IT infrastructure (hardware and software) and data security and storage. Internally, a cyber security plan has been developed to prevent and detect cyber-attacks and limit their impact. The plan will be externally audited in 2023 and the results will be discussed in the Audit and Risk Committee and in the Board of Directors. Besides the functional and technical aspects of the plan (aimed at further developing state-of-the-art IT security infrastructure and solutions), the cyber plan also provides for regular (mandatory) IT training for employees to make them aware of cyber security and prevent phishing and other cyber threats. Aedifica also has a cyber security insurance policy in place that provides cover against various types of cybercrime. Aedifica is regularly subjected to cyber-attacks, through phishing, organised malware attacks or otherwise. In the past, Aedifica has been the victim of one data security breach due to a cyber-attack (namely in March 2021). This breach was reported to the data protection authority. The impact of that cyber-attack on Aedifica’s operations was very limited and did also not cause a demonstrable loss of personal data nor did it result in high risk to the rights and freedom of the data subjects possibly concerned (if any).

INGRID DAERDEN, CFO
In 2022, we contracted nearly €520 million in bank loans, of which 59% is linked to sustainability KPIs. This underlines our efforts to integrate ESG criteria into our financial policy.
1.2 Management of financial resources
1.2.1 Credit rating
In August 2022, S&P has reaffirmed the BBB investment-grade rating with a stable outlook, reflecting the strength of the Group’s balance sheet and the improvement of its liquidity. The stable outlook reflects the predictable rental income supported by resilient health care assets and overall long leases which will continue to generate stable cash flows over the next few years. S&P’s credit rating research is available on Aedifica’s website.
1.2.2 Sustainability Bond
In September 2021, Aedifica has successfully priced its first benchmark Sustainability Bond for a total size of €500 million. The notes are issued with a tenor of 10 years paying a fixed coupon of 0.75% per annum. The strong investor demand for Aedifica 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)finance environmentally sustainable healthcare assets as defined 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.

1.2.3 Financial debts
During the 2022 financial year, Aedifica strengthened its financial resources by securing new, long-term financing with seven different banks. Part of the loans were contracted in pound sterling (£160 million) to finance the expansion of the UK portfolio. In total, Aedifica has contracted bank loans for a euro equivalent of €516 million, of which €396 million is new financing and €120 million is early refinancing. 59% (€304 million) of these bank loans is linked to sustainability KPIs or is contracted under Aedifica’s Sustainable Finance Framework. The loans have due dates between 2027 and 2028. Taking these elements into account, the maturity dates of Aedifica’s financial debts as of 31 December 2022 are as follows:
| Financial debt (in € million) | 3 Lines | Utilisation | of which treasury notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31/12/2023 | 578 | 423 | 263 |
| 31/12/2024 | 425 | 265 | - |
| 31/12/2025 | 531 | 170 | - |
| 31/12/2026 | 390 | 237 | - |

| 31/12/2028 | 317 | 317 | 25 |
| >31/12/2028 | 614 | 614 | 12 |
| Total as of 31 December 2022 | 3,387 | 2,457 | 350 |
| Weighted average maturity (in years) | 4 | 4.0 | 4.7 |
Without regard to short-term financing (short-term treasury notes), the weighted average maturity of the drawn financial debt as at 31 December 2022 is 4.7 years. The available liquidity after deduction of the short-term commercial paper stood at €667 million on 31 December 2022. After the close of the 2022 financial year, Aedifica contracted €40 million of bank loans (early refinancing) maturing in 2029. The average cost of debt including commitment fees is 1.4%, lower than in the previous financial year (1.5%). As at 31 December 2022, Aedifica’s consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounted to 43.6%. At the beginning of 2023, 88.7% of financial debt is hedged against interest rate risk, 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. Loans contracted under Aedifica’s Sustainable Finance Framework or linked to sustainability KPIs amount to €884 million, of which €847 million is drawn on 31 December 2022 (34% of the drawn debt), underlining the Group’s wish to further diversify its sources of financing and to integrate ESG criteria into its financial policy.
1.2.4 Equity
In 2022, Aedifica completed one capital increase in cash and two capital increases by contribution in kind, raising nearly €310 million. These capital increases strengthened Aedifica’s equity position and partly financed acquisitions and development projects while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Contribution in kind of €7.5 million
On 17 May 2022, the acquisition of the Résidence Véronique care home in Somme-Leuze (Belgium) was carried out through the contribution in kind in Aedifica NV/SA of 100% of the shares in a Belgian real estate company. As consideration for the contribution, 74,172 new Aedifica 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 18 May 2022 and are entitled to the dividend for the 2022 financial year (coupon no. 30 and following).
Capital increase of €254.5 million
On 23 June 2022, Aedifica 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 €254.5 million. On 29 June 2022, the Company issued 2,925,000 new shares at an issue price of €87 per share, i.e. €254,475,000 (including share premium). The new shares were immediately admitted to trading and are entitled to a pro rata temporis dividend for the 2022 financial year as from 29 June 2022 (coupon no. 31 and following). Within the framework of this transaction, coupon no. 30, representing the right to the pro rata temporis dividend for the period from 1 January 2022 to 28 June 2022 inclusive, was detached from the existing shares, effective as of 27 June 2022 (ex-coupon date).
Contribution in kind of €47 million
On 6 July 2022, the acquisition of two care properties in Bruges and Ghent (Belgium) was carried out through the contribution in kind in Aedifica NV/SA of 100% of the shares in a Belgian real estate company. As consideration for the contribution, 547,914 new Aedifica 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 7 July 2022 and are entitled to a pro rata temporis dividend for the 2022 financial year as from 29 June 2022 (coupon no. 31 and following).Following this transaction, the total number of Aedifica shares amounts to 39,855,243 and the share capital amounts to €1,051,691,535.73.

Business review
The 4.2% like-for-like variation in rental income can be broken down into +3.3% indexation of rents, +0.8% rent negotiations and +0.1% exchange rate fluctuation. The increase in consolidated rental income demonstrates the rel- evance 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. After deduction of the rental-related charges (€1.6 million), the net rental income amounts to €271.5 million (+17% compared to 31December 2021). The property result amounts to €271.9 million (31 December 2021: €230.5 million). This result, less other direct costs, leads to a property operating result of €262.6 million (31 December 2021: €222.9million). This implies an operating margin of 96.7% (31December 2021: 96.3%). After deducting overheads of €33.6 million (31 December 2021: €30.9 million) and taking into account other operating income and charges, the operating result before result on the portfolio has increased by 19% to reach €229.7 million (31 December 2021: €193.3 million). This implies an EBIT margin of 84.6% (31Decem- ber 2021: 83.5%). Taking into account the cash flows generated by hedging instru- ments, Aedifica’s net interest charges amount to €30.7million (31December 2021: €27.5 million). 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 €36.2million (31 December 2021: €32.2 million). Corporate taxes are composed of current taxes, deferred taxes, tax on profits or losses on disposals and exit tax. In conformity with the special tax system of Belgian RRECs, the taxes included in the EPRA Earnings (31 December 2022: €12.0 million; 31 December 2021: €9.7 million) consist primarily of tax on the result of consol- idated 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 subsidiaries still have a claim to the application of the fiscal transparent regime of a ‘Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling’ (FBI – ‘Fiscal Investment Institution’; see page 83). The share in the result of associates and joint ventures mainly includes the result of the participation in Immobe NV (consolidated since 31 March 2019 using the equity method). EPRA Earnings* (see page 209) reached €181.4 million (31Decem- ber 2021: €151.5 million), or €4.76 per share (31 December 2021: €4.35 per share), based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and taking into account the higher number of shares resulting from the 2022 capital increases. This result (absolute and per share) is higher than the budgeted amount of >€4.70 per share announced in the Q3 interim financial report. The income statement also includes elements with no mone- tary 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 and deferred taxes (arising from IAS 40):
- Over the entire financial year, the combined changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties 2 and devel- opment projects represent an increase of €84.9 million for the period (31 December 2021: €160.2 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 2022 represent an income of €123.2 million (31 December 2021: an income of €14.8 million) following the increase of the long-term interest rates.
- Capital gains on disposals (31 December 2022: €0.8 million; 31December 2021: €0.5 million) are also taken into account here.
- Tax on profit or losses on disposals amounted to €0.0 mil- lion as of 31 December 2022 (compared to -€0.6 million as of 31December 2021).
- Impairment of goodwill (charge of €18.3 million as of 31December 2022, compared to a charge of €3.5 million on 31December 2021) resulting from the impairment testing on 31December2022. The estimated recoverable amount is negatively impacted by the discount rate.
- Deferred taxes in respect of EPRA adjustments (charge of €42.7 million as of 31 December 2022, compared to a charge of €46.5 million on 31 December 2021) include two elements. Deferred taxes (charge of €42.4 million as of 31 December 2022, compared to a charge of €46.2 million on 31 December 2021) arose from the recognition at fair value of buildings located abroad, in conformity with IAS 40. The exit tax (charge of €0.3million as of 31 December 2022, compared to a charge of €0.3million as of 31 December 2021) corresponds to the varia- tion 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 €331.8million (31December 2021: €281.8 million). The basic earnings per share (as defined by IAS 33) is €8.71 (31 December 2021: €8.10).# Financial statements

As of 31 December 2022, investment properties including assets classified as held for sale* represent 94% (31 December 2021: 95%) of the assets recognised on Aedifica’s balance sheet, valued in accordance with IAS 40¹ at €5,704 million (31 December 2021: €4,896 million). This heading includes:
- Marketable investment properties including assets clas- sified as held for sale* (31 December 2022: €5,449 million; 31December 2021: €4,687 million) increase in the amount of €763million. The net growth in the fair value of marketable investment properties is primarily attributable to €426 million from investment operations, to €97 million from the change in the fair value of marketable investment properties, to €323mil - lion from the completion of development projects, and partly compensated by -€35 million from divestment operations and -€48million from exchange rate differences. The changes in the fair value of marketable investment properties, as assessed by independent valuation experts, are broken down for the full year 2022 as follows:
- Belgium: +€17.8 million (+1.5%);
- Germany: +€39.6 million (+3.7%);
- Netherlands: +€24.0 million (+4.3%);
- United Kingdom: +€6.2 million (+0.8%);
- Finland: +€12.9 million (+1.5%);
- Sweden: -€1.0 million (-1.3%);
- Ireland: -€2.6 million (-2.8%).
- Development projects (31 December 2022: €184 million; 31December 2021: €152 million) consist primarily of investment properties under construction or renovation. They are part of a multi-annual investment programme (see page 44-46).
- The right of use related to plots of land held in ‘leasehold’ in accordance with IFRS 16 (31 December 2022: €70 million; 31December 2021: €58 million).
The item ‘Other assets included in debt-to-assets ratio’ includes, amongst other things, goodwill amounting to €143.7 million arising from the acquisition of Hoivatilat, which is the positive difference between the price paid for the shares of Hoivatilat Oyj and the accounting value of the acquired net assets, and holdings in associated companies and joint ventures. This mainly includes the 25% stake in Immobe NV which amounts to €40.4 million as of 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: €40.5 million). The other assets included in the debt-to-assets ratio represent 4% of the total balance sheet (31 December 2021: 5%).
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 2022 2, the Company’s capital amounts to €1,052 million (31 December 2021: €958 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:
- €3,164 million excluding the effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments* (31 December 2021: €2,808 million, including the €118.5 million dividend distributed in May 2022);
- or €3,283 million taking into account the effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments (31 December 2021: €2,781million, including the €118.5 million dividend distributed in May 2022).
As of 31 December 2022, liabilities included in the debt-to- assets ratio (as defined in the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on RRECs) reached €2,602 million (31 December 2021: €2,197 million). Of this amount, €2,452 million (31 December 2021: €2,081 million) is effectively drawn on the Company’s credit lines. Aedifica’s con- solidated debt-to-assets ratio amounts to 43.6% (31 December 2021: 42.6%).
Other liabilities of €194.7 million (31 December 2021: €179.3mil - lion) primarily represent the fair value of hedging instruments (31December 2022: €3.9 million; 31 December 2021: €33.3 mil- lion) and the deferred taxes (31 December 2022: €164.1 million; 31December 2021: €121.3 million).
1.3.3 Net asset value per share
Excluding the non-monetary effects (i.e., non-cash) of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments³ and after accounting for the distribution of the 2021 dividend in May 2022⁴, the net asset value per share based on the fair value of investment properties amounted to €79.38 as of 31 December 2022 (31 December 2021: €74.09 per share).

1.3.4 Consolidated cash flow statement
The consolidated cash flow statement included in the attached Consolidated Financial Statements shows total cash flows for the period of -€1.4 million (31 December 2021: -€8.2 million), which is made up of net cash from operating activities of +€218.6 million (31December 2021: +€198.3 million), net cash from investing activ- ities of -€683.4 million (31 December 2021: -€820.9 million), and net cash from financing activities of +€463.4 million (31 December 2021: +€614.4 million).
1.3.5 Appropriation of the results
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meet- ing of 9 May 2023 to approve Aedifica SA’s Annual Accounts of 31December 2022 (of which a summary is provided in the chapter ‘Abridged Statutory Financial Statements’ on page 204). The Board of Directors also proposes to distribute a gross dividend of €3.70 for the 2022 financial year⁶, resulting in a statutory pay-out ratio of 91%. The dividend will be paid in May 2023 after the annual accounts have been approved by the Annual General Meeting of 9 May 2023. The dividend will be split between coupon no. 30 (€1.8145) and coupon no. 31 (€1.8855). The net dividend per share after deduction of 15% withholding tax⁷ will amount to €3.145, split between coupon no. 30 (€1.5423) and coupon no. 31 (€1.6027). The statutory result for the 2022 financial year will be submitted as presented in the table on page 205. 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 mini - mum pay-out of 80 % of the adjusted statutory result, after deduc- tion of the debt reduction over the financial year.
- The investment properties are represented at their fair value as determined by the valuation experts (see page 233-234).
- IFRS requires that the costs incurred to raise capital are recognised as a decrease in the capital reserves.
- The effect of the changes in fair value of hedging instruments of +€2.98 per share as of 31 December 2022 is the impact in equity of the fair value of hedging instruments, which is positive for €118.9 million, mainly booked in the assets on the balance sheet.
- Recall that IFRS requires the presentation of the annual accounts before appropriation. The net asset value of €77.35 per share as at 31 December 2021 (as published in the 2021 Annual Financial Report) thus included the gross dividend distributed in May 2022, and has been adjusted by €3.26 per share in this table so that it can be compared with the net asset value as at 31 December 2022. This amount corresponds to the total amount of dividends paid (€118.5 million), divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of 31 December 2021 (36,308,157).
- See page 145 for more information about the consolidated cash flow statement.
- See page 94 for more information about Aedifica’s 2022 dividend.
- 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%. Following Brexit, a transition regime has been provided for UK assets acquired prior to 1 January 2021 so that they can be included in the calculation of the 80% threshold until the end of the 2025 financial year. Therefore, if legislation does not change in the meantime, Aedifica estimates that its shareholders will be able to continue to benefit from the reduced withholding tax of 15% until the 2025 financial year (inclusive). See section 4.4.2 of the ‘Standing Documents’ for more information on the tax treatment of dividends, as well as section 9 'Regulatory changes' of the ‘Risk factors’ chapter.

2. Outlook for 2023
The outlook presented below has been developed by the Board of Directors as part of the preparation of the budget for the 2023 financial year on a comparable basis with the Company’s historical financial information and consistent with the Company’s accounting policies. The Board of Directors continues to pay close attention to the shifting economic, financial and political context, as well as the associated impact on the Group’s activities. 2023 is expected to be more of a transition year in which a new balance needs to be found between investment market and operator expectations on the one hand and increased financing costs on the other. This is likely to translate into a slower investment pace as the Group will focus primarily on executing its committed pipeline while maintaining a strong balance sheet and a debt-to-assets ratio of approx. 45%. Benefitting from strong fundamental tailwinds such as the ageing European population and the increasing need for futureproof care properties, healthcare real estate will remain an attractive invest - ment category in the years to come.
2.1 Assumptions
External factors
a) 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. In Germany, contractual restrictions apply to the indexation mechanism. Indexation of rental income in Germany is usually capped or takes effect after reaching a certain threshold.
b) 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*.
c) Average interest rate after capitalised interests: 2.2% based on the Euribor rate curve of 20 January 2023, bank margins, and hedges currently in place.
d) 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 £/€ of 1.12 and €/SEK of 11.2485 have been applied.
Internal factors
a) Rents: rent forecasts are based on current contractual rates and take indexation into account. The projected rental income includes an assumption of organic growth of about 4.8% after CPI-linked indexation and assumptions regarding future port - folio additions related to the completion of buildings currently under development for which the timing of delivery cannot be determined with certainty).
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Investment programme:
* delivery of projects from the committed pipeline of €320 million;
* in 2023, cash outflows related to the execution of develop - ment projects amount to approx. €350 million;
e) Financial assumptions:
* debt-to-assets ratio below 50% at the end of 2023 with a target of around 45%;
* 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.
f) Divestment assumption:
* disposal of non-strategic assets during the year for approx. €150 million;
g) Taxes:
* taxes mainly include tax on profits of consolidated subsidiar - ies, tax on profits generated by Aedifica NV/SA abroad and Belgian tax on Aedifica NV/SA’s non-deductible expenditures;
* the budget assumes the application of the fiscal transparent regime of a ‘Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling’ (‘FBI) in the Dutch subsidiaries and a reimbursement of corporate taxes paid for the years 2016 to 2020 amounting to approx. €6.1 million. This assumption is based on positive feedback received from the Dutch tax authorities in early 2023 on qualification for the FBI requirements in previous years (2016-2020), Aed - ifica assumes in the budget that the requirements will also be met in the years 2023 and 2024. However, qualification for those years may still be subject to additional review by the tax authorities. Based on currently available information, companies investing directly in real estate might no longer qualify for the FBI regime from January 2025. As explained in section 1.1.2 on page 83, the refund of the tax claims in the Dutch subsidiaries for previous years will be recognised in the income statement at the time of receipt of the final corporate tax assessment.
2.2 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 2023 financial year to reach €308 million. This results in €200 million in EPRA Earnings. Taking into account the higher number of shares resulting from the 2022 capital increases (see section 1.2.4), the Board of Directors anticipates EPRA Earnings per share of €5.03 per share – a 6% increase compared to 2022 – and a gross dividend of €3.80 per share – an increase of 3%.
| Outlook for 2023 | |
|---|---|
| Estimated rental income | €308 million |
| EPRA Earnings* | €200 million |
| EPRA Earnings* per share | €5.03 |
| Gross dividend | €3.80 |

3.2 Dividend
For the financial year 2022, Aedifica’s board of directors proposes a gross dividend of €3.70 per share, resulting in a statutory pay- out ratio of 91%. The dividend will be split between coupon no. 30 (€1.8145 for the period from 1 January 2022 until 28 June 2022) and coupon no. 31 (€1.8855 for the period from 29 June 2022 to 31 December 2022). The dividend will be paid in May 2023, after approval of the financial statements by the ordinary general meeting of 9 May 2023. 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% 1 . Aedifica is moni- toring 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 €3.145, split between coupon no. 30 (€1.5423) and coupon no. 31 (€1.6027).
| Coupon | Period | Ex-coupon date | Est. payment date | Gross dividend | Net dividend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 01/01/2022 – 28/06/2022 | 27/06/2022 | as from 16/05/2023 | €1.8145 | €1.5423 |
| 31 | 29/06/2022 – 31/12/2022 | 12/05/2023 | as from 16/05/2023 | €1.8855 | €1.6027 |
- RRECs investing more than 80% of their portfolio in European healthcare real estate benefit from a reduced withholding tax rate of 15%. Following Brexit, a transition regime has been provided for UK assets acquired prior to 1 January 2021 so that they can be included in the calculation of the 80% threshold until the end of the 2025 financial year. Therefore, if legislation does not change in the meantime, Aedifica estimates that its shareholders will be able to continue to benefit from the reduced withholding tax of 15% until the 2025 financial year (inclusive). For more information on the 80% threshold for the reduced withholding tax on dividends, see page 260.

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:
- Articles of Association
- Corporate Governance Charter

1. Governance model and 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.
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.
Finally, given the geographical diversity of the countries in which Aedifica operates and 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 and the respective division of roles can be represented schematically as shown hereafter.

Staff 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 affecting 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 staff is based on the setting of realistic and measurable objectives. The last benchmark study ordered regarding the Executive Committee’s remuneration dates from first half of 2022.
3.2 Risk analysis
Principle 6: the organisation describes the objectives clearly enough to be able to identify and evaluate the risks relating to these objectives.
Aedifica’s objectives are clearly described in this Annual Financial Report on pages 26-29. The Company acts with due care in respect of risk culture.
Principle 7: the organisation identifies the risks for the achievement of its objectives and analyses these risks to determine how it should manage them.
The Board of Directors identifies and evaluates Aedifica’s main risks on a quarterly basis and publishes its findings in the annual and half-yearly financial reports and interim statements. Risks are also monitored on an ad hoc basis outside the quarterly identification and assessment exercises by the Board of Directors at its meetings. In this respect, Aedifica, with the help of a specialised consultant, has initiated in 2020 an in-depth review of its strategic risks and built up a standardised framework to better follow up on the risk evolution. Aedifica’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 identified vulnerabilities. More information on the risks can be found in the ‘Risk factors’ chapter in this Annual Financial 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 financial system for the purposes of money laundering and terrorist financing. The policies clarify certain rules of conduct for the Company and its employees in these fields.
Principle 9: the organisation identifies and assesses changes that could have a significant impact on the internal control system.
Significant changes are identified and analysed on a continuous basis by both the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors and formalised on the “risk universe” tool. This analysis is incorporated in the ‘Risk factors’ chapter.

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 specific delegation of authority is in place for treasury operations.
In addition, the Company has introduced control measures to address its main financial and operational risks:
- interest rate risk: implementation of hedges (mainly IRS and caps), contracted only with reference banks;
- counterparty risk: use of different reference banks to ensure diversification of the origin of bank financing;
- currency risk: hedging instruments (mainly forward contracts) are used to hedge against a variation in the £/€ rate on future cash flows 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.# 3.2 Internal Control
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’. Aedifica relies on a fully operational ERP (SAP) to conduct its business. To manage the debt, Aedifica uses a treasury management system (Reval) which communicates daily with the ERP. Aedifica will implement in 2023 a new budgeting tool which will facilitate the budgeting and forecasting projections. 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 Aedifica’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.
3.3 Information and communication
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 Oyj. The Finnish activities will be migrated in the ERP system during Q1 2023 (the Swedish activities have been migrated over 2022).
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 staff communication, working meetings and email exchanges. In 2022, an intranet has been put in place to facilitate communication and exchange of information throughout the Group.
Principle 15: the organisation communicates with third parties on matters that affect the functioning of internal control. 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 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).
3.4 Supervision and monitoring
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.

Strategy & value creation
Business review
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.
4. Shareholder structure
As of 31 December 2022, based on the transparency notices received, BlackRock, Inc. (transparency notice dated 23 September 2022) holds at least 5% of the voting rights in Aedifica (see page 95). No other shareholder holds more than 5% of the capital. Notices under transparency legislation and control chains are available on the website. 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 2022, 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.
5. Board of Directors and committees
5.1 Current composition of the Board of Directors
On 31 December 2022, Aedifica’s Board of Directors consisted of twelve members, seven of whom are independent within the meaning of Article 7:87 BCCA and Article 3.5 of the CG Code 2020. The Directors are listed on pages 104-105. They are appointed for a maximum term of three years by the General Meeting, which can remove them at any time. Directors can be reappointed. The full biographies for each of the members of the Board of Directors are available on Aedifica’s website. Each member of the Board of Directors has, for the purpose of their mandate within Aedifica NV/ SA, selected the address of the registered seat of Aedifica NV/SA, Rue Belliard/Belliardstraat 40 (box 11), 1040 Brussels (Belgium), as their business address. Aedifica takes into account various diversity aspects (such as gender, age, professional background, international experience, etc.) for the composition of its Board of Directors and its Executive Committee, as explained in more detail on pages 108-109.

The Director’s mandates of Ms Marleen Willekens, Ms Ingrid Daerden, Mr Luc Plasman, Mr Pertti Huuskonen, Mr Sven Bogaerts and Mr Charles-Antoine van Aelst expire after the Ordinary General Meeting of 9 May 2023. Given their professional competences and their con - tribution to the proper functioning of the Board of Directors and its Committees, the Board of Directors proposes to the Ordinary General Meeting – upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee – to renew these mandates.
5.3 Role and responsibility of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors aims to achieve sustainable value creation for Aedifica’s shareholders and other stakeholders by defining the Company’s strategy and policy and developing entrepreneurial, responsible and ethical leadership that can implement this strategy and policy within a framework that enables effective control and risk management.
5.4 Activity report of the Board of Directors
During the 2022 financial year, the Board of Directors met 17 times. In addition to the usual recurring topics (in particular operational and financial reporting, communication policy, strategy and invest - ment policy), the Board of Directors also met to discuss (among other things) the following topics:
- Strategy:
- the strategy and development of the Company;
- the navigation of the Company throughout the changed macro-economic environment.
- Operational:
- the aftermath of the Covid crisis and impact on the portfolio;
- the impact of inflation, increased energy and staff costs on the operators;
- enhanced focus on monitoring and overseeing the quality of care in the Aedifica care homes.

5.5 Committees of the Board of Directors
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 Com - mittee as well as executive and management staff to attend com - mittee 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 provided the Chair of the Board of Directors is informed in advance and with due regard 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 2022, 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 composition of the Audit and Risk Committee and the tasks entrusted to the committee meet the legal requirements. 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 committee met five times during the 2022 financial year. The Statutory Auditor of the Company was heard two times by the Audit and Risk Committee during the financial year.

Role and responsibilities of the Executive Committee
In accordance with Article 16 of the Company’s Articles of Association, the Board of Directors delegated to the Executive Committee special limited decision-making and representation powers to allow it to fulfil its role. For the division of powers between the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors and for the other aspects of the operation of the Executive Committee, please see Aedifica’s Corporate Governance Charter (available on the website).
6. Diversity at Board and Executive Committee level
Diversity at the level of the Board of Directors and at the level of the Executive Committee is part of the overall diversity, equity and inclusion objectives of Aedifica as described in the diversity policy (see page 69).
Diversity at Board level
In accordance with the Belgian legal requirements, at least one third of the members of the Board of Directors must be of a different gender from the other members. The Board of Directors follows these legal requirements, and these have also been integrated into the Board recruitment and nomination process. The precise gender make-up fluctuates over time as positions become vacant and depends also on the complementarity between the different members with respect to various facets of diversity (of which gender is one).
Beyond gender diversity and the growing focus on the international composition of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors always strives to keep a balanced mix of diversity in terms of skills, experience, nationality, age, independence, tenure as well as any other relevant criterion.

Diversity at Executive Committee level
No legal gender requirements apply to the composition of the Executive Committee. Nevertheless, here as well, the Company strives through the Board of Directors that appoints the members of the Executive Committee, to gender diversity in the composition of the Executive Committee. The overall objective, however, is to pay careful attention not just to one aspect of diversity but to diversity in all its aspects to ensure a complementarity of competences, national and international experience, personalities and profiles, in addition to the expertise and integrity required for the performance of the function.
7. Evaluation of the Board of Directors and its committees
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.
The last overall evaluation of the Board of Directors and the Board committees took place end of 2020/the 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.# Aedifica - Annual Report 2022

The items for improvement are further monitored by the Board of Directors. In this context, Ms Henrike Waldburg (see biography on page 105) was appointed upon proposal of the Board of Directors by the Ordinary General Meeting of 10 May 2022 as new Director to replace Mr Franken whose Board mandate had expired and was not open for renewal taking into account the age limit of 72 years. A new Board evaluation will be organised in the second half of 2023.

8. Remuneration report
This Remuneration Report was drafted according to the provisions of article 3:6 §3 BCCA and complies with the principles of the 2020 CG Code. It has also been drafted taking into account the European Commission’s non-binding draft guidelines for the standardised presentation of the remuneration report¹. The Remuneration Report provides a complete overview of the remuneration, including all benefits in whatever form, granted or due, during the 2022 financial year to each of the Non-Executive Directors and members of the Executive Committee in application of the remuneration policy, where applicable comparing the actual performance to the targets set.
On 11 May 2021, the General Meeting of Aedifica approved the new remuneration policy with a large majority (95.20% of the votes casted). This new policy took effect on 1 January 2021 and can be consulted on our website. The last remuneration report (over the financial year 2021) was also approved by a large majority of the shareholders (83.93% of the votes casted at the General Meeting of 10 May 2022). The Board of Directors did not deviate in any matter from the approved remuneration policy.

Additionally, the Board of Directors has decided to grant a special travel allowance of €300 per (round) trip to Mr Huuskonen and Ms Waldburg in application of the power granted to it under the remuneration policy to offer on a case-by-case basis to Non-Executive Directors who attend meetings of the Board of Directors in a country other than their country of residence, a special travel allowance of €300 to cover their travel time.
The table below provides an overview of the Non-Executive Directors’ attendance at Board and committee meetings and the remuneration received for the 2022 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 25th 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 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 rule the Non-Executive Directors other than the Chairperson had to register for the year 2022 a minimum of 31 shares in the share register, whereas the Chairperson had to register a minimum of 80 shares. All Non-Executive directors have registered the required number of shares in the share register of the Company, with the exception of Ms Waldburg who was only appointed as director in 2022 and who will make the required registrations in 2023. 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 fixed 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 Remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee for the 2022 financial year
8.2.1 Aedifica’s remuneration philosophy
The main principles underlying Aedifica’s remuneration policy for the members of its Executive Committee are based on a balanced approach between market competitive standards, the ratio between fixed and variable pay and the economic and social contribution of the Company linked to certain non-financial parameters of the variable pay:
* compensation at market-competitive levels (considering both fixed 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 profitable 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 financial performance goals, its long-term value creation strategy and risk tolerance. Short- and long-term variable remuneration are weighted equally (50/50);
* differentiation 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, defining targets for the variable compensation plans based on financial and non-financial targets and a transparent, simple and clear remuneration policy.
- After the takeover of Hoivatilat by Aedifica in the beginning of 2020, the Board of Directors of Hoivatilat still counts three independent Finnish Directors. 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 2022 a remuneration of €46,896 (€39,996 fixed; €6,900 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 €102,795.

8.2.2 Remuneration structure
8.2.2.1 Fixed remuneration
The fixed remuneration consists of a fixed cash remuneration, as set out in the management agreements with individual members of the Executive Committee. Since the financial year 2009/2010, the Company has also granted to the members of the Executive Committee, as part of their fixed remuneration, an annual cash bonus from which net proceeds after taxes are to be used entirely to purchase Aedifica shares at a discount.# 8.2.2.1 Fixed long-term incentive plan
This ‘fixed long-term incentive plan’ was first announced in the 2008/2009 Annual Financial Report and is described further hereafter. 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 first award only in early 2024, upon completion of the first 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 fixed long-term incentive plan was extended until 2022 and will cease to exist in 2023. In that respect, the Board of Directors decided on 22 February 2022 in application of Article 7:91 BCCA and the remuneration policy to grant, within the framework of the annual (current) fixed long-term incentive plan, a gross remuneration of €184,112 for the CEO and €105,207 for each other member of the Executive Committee for the period 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2022 under the terms and conditions as explained hereafter (the ‘2022 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 100/120th, in accordance with comment 36/16 of the Belgian Income Tax Code, i.e., at a share price of €83.25 (the closing share price on 7 March 2022 of €99.90 multiplied by 100/120). In execution of this ‘long-term incentive plan’, the CEO acquired 1,028 shares, the CFO and the COO each 587 shares, the CLO/CM&AO and CIO each 588 shares. The 2022 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).
The gross remuneration granted to the members of the Executive Committee under the long-term incentive plan 2022 consists of the same amounts as under the previous plan, save for indexation. It was indicated in the remuneration report 2021 that the Board of Directors would order a benchmark study from the independent specialist consultant Willis Towers Watson in order to assess the market conformity of the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee as provided in the remuneration policy (the latest benchmark study executed by Willis Towers Watson dated already from June 2019). This benchmark study was conducted by Willis Towers Watson in the first half of 2022. The benchmarked group consisted of the following European peers: Cofinimmo, Immobel, Warehouses de Pauw, Gecina, Icade, Klepierre, Korian, Orpea, Deutsche Wohnen, Patrizia, Vonovia, Grand City Properties, Shurgard Self Storage, Eurocommercial Properties, Redevco, Fabege, Hemso, SBB, PSP Swiss Property, Assura, Hammerson, Land Securities Group and Segro.
Based on the outcome of this benchmark, the Board of Directors decided on 29 March 2022, upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, to increase the fixed remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee as described hereafter to bring the total remuneration within a range of what is considered on the basis of the benchmark and the market rates of the peer group as competitive executive pay levels. In that respect, the fixed remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee were adapted as follows:
- CEO: increase of fixed remuneration spread over a three-year period, as follows:
- as from 1.07.2022: increase to €550,000;
- as from 1.07.2023: increase with €50,000 (plus indexation of this amount per 1.07.2023);
- as from 1.07.2024: increase with €50,000 (plus indexation of this amount per 1.07.2024).
- CFO: increase of fixed remuneration to €380,000 per 1.07.2022;
- CM&AO/CLO: increase of fixed remuneration to €320,000 per 1.07.2022;
- CIO: increase of fixed remuneration to €310,000 per 1.07.2022;
- COO: increase of fixed remuneration to €294,200.60 per 1.07.2022.
The members of the Executive Committee receive no additional compensation to carry out the duties related to their office as Director of Aedifica and its subsidiaries and receive no remuneration from Aedifica’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 the fixed annual remuneration. For actual performance below the defined threshold, no bonus is due. Moreover, the actual bonus is capped at a maximum of 50% of annual fixed 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 fixed 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%)
Personal targets supporting the Company’s strategic imperatives
On 15 February 2023, the Board of Directors concluded, based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and after validation of the financial results per 31 December 2022 by the Audit and Risk Committee that the quantitative and qualitative criteria set out for the annual short term incentive plan 2022 in the Board’s decision of 29 March 2022 and determined in line with the remuneration policy were met for payment of the variable remuneration to the members of the Executive Committee for the financial year 2022, as follows:

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.# 8.2.2.2 Long-term incentive plan
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 financial and non-financial 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 100/120th 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.
On 29 March 2022 the Board of Directors selected the specific KPIs for the (second) performance cycle of the long-term incentive plan (period 2022-2024) within the range of categories of financial and non-financial 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 2025. A payment under this plan (insofar as the KPIs are achieved) will take place in 2025.
| Period | Relative weighting | Achievement on 31 December 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 January 2022 – 31 December 2024 | ||
| Financial KPI | 70% | Performance period ongoing |
| Average EPS growth (CAGR) | ||
| Non-financial KPI | 30% | Performance period ongoing |
| EPC Coverage of the Group's portfolio | 15% | Performance period ongoing |
| Employee satisfaction | 15% | Performance period ongoing |
The first performance cycle of the long-term incentive plan (period 2021-2023) was set last year by the Board of Directors (see remuneration report 2021). The realisation of the KPIs for this performance cycle of the long-term incentive plan will be evaluated early 2024 and will be reported in the remuneration report 2023 (submitted to the General Meeting in 2024).
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 financed by the Company and do not require personal contributions from the beneficiaries.
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 2022 financial year, the cost to the Company (rental charge and petrol) was €21,203 excl. VAT for the CEO and a combined total of €65,315 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 fixed allowance for representation expenses of €300 per month.

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 fit 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 Aedifica 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 Aedifica’s Executive Committee. In 2022 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 claw-back mechanism for both the (performance based) short- and long-term incentive plans whereby the Company has the right to reclaim from the beneficiary 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 2022 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 104-105 for specific 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.

8.3 Comparative information on the change of remuneration and company performance over the past 5 financial years
In an interest to increase transparency of past, current and future remuneration and in alignment with investor interests and the legislative environment, the table below 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 2016¹, 22 October 2019² and 11 May 2021³. 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 afore- mentioned period of €6,000 fixed remuneration and €4,000 attendance fees);
- 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 Report 2022

8.4 Main changes for 2023
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 2023.
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. In accordance with the Board decision of 29 March 2022 (as described under section 8.2.2), the increase of the fixed remuneration of Mr Gielens as CEO is spread over three years, resulting in an adjustment of his fixed remuneration on 1 July 2023 and on 1 July 2024 to bring the remuneration to a competitive level of remuneration in line with the identified peer group from the benchmark. In line with the remuneration policy (and as described under section 8.2.2) a final award under the fixed long-term incentive plan was granted to the members of the Executive Committee in 2022. As from 2023 this fixed long-term incentive plan will cease to exist and will no longer be offered to the members of the Executive Committee.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- No comparison can be made since Mr Thomassen’s mandate only started on 1 March 2021.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- The change in remuneration can be explained by the increase in remuneration as from 1 July 2022 as explained above under section 8.2.2.
- 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.
- 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.

9. Regulations and procedures
9.1 Conflicts of interest
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 are immediately made public and are explained in the Annual Financial Report and, where appropriate, in the Half-Year Financial Report. Articles 7:96 and 7:97 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, as well as Article 37 of the RREC Act (and the exceptions under Article 38 of the RREC Act), always need to be taken into consideration. These legal provisions concern the procedures that need to be followed in case a conflict of interest arises.
No conflict of interest in relation to real estate transactions occurred during 2022. The only conflicts of interest that did occur during the 2022 financial year related to the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee and of Mr Huuskonen, as explained below.
Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of 22 February 2022
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 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 with respect to the deliberation and decision-making on the agenda items 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e and 6f.
Remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee: STI variable remuneration 2021
The Board of Directors has set on 16 March 2021, in line with the remuneration policy, the personal KPIs as well as the performance levels (targets, minimum thresholds and maximum performance levels) of the collective and personal KPIs for the short-term variable remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee for the financial year 2021 (which have been included in the addenda to the management contracts).# Aedifica - Annual Report 2022

Remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee: LTIP 2022
Since the variable long-term incentive plan provided in the remuneration policy 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 was decided in the context of the remuneration policy to extend the fixed long-term incentive plan until 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 fixed “long term incentive plan” for the financial year 2022, under the same terms and conditions as the previous long term incentive plan (i.e., the 2021 LTIP), for a gross amount equal to the gross amount of the 2021 LTIP plus the indexation over 2021, namely a gross amount of €184,112 for the CEO and €105,207 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 2022 for a gross amount of €184,112 for the CEO and €105,207 for each other member of the Executive Committee, under the same terms and conditions as the 2021 LTIP. In accordance with the remuneration policy, this fixed annual long term incentive plan will cease to exist in 2023 and is thus awarded for the last time.

This item is postponed to the next meeting of the Board of Directors.

Travel time reimbursement for non-resident directors
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 Pertti Huuskonen declared that he has a possible interest of a patrimonial nature which conflicts with the Company’s interest, about which he will inform the Statutory Auditor. This conflict of interest arises because the Board of Directors will deliberate and resolve on certain elements of the remuneration of Mr Huuskonen. Mr Huuskonen then leaves the meeting with respect to the deliberation and decision-making on this agenda item. Pursuant to the remuneration policy, the Board of Directors may decide on a case-by-case basis that Non-Executive Directors who attend meetings of the Board of Directors in a country other than their country of residence are eligible to receive a special travel allowance of €300 to cover their travel time, so to ensure that international candidates can also be attracted to fulfil a Board mandate with Aedifica. In application of this rule, the Board of Directors confirms that the special travel allowance of €300 mentioned in the remuneration policy is granted to Mr Huuskonen, residing in Finland, for each trip from abroad to attend an Aedifica Board meeting.
Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of 29 March 2022
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 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 with respect to the deliberation and decision-making on the agenda items 6b, 6c and 6d.
Remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee: STI variable 2022: KPIs + performance levels
Pursuant to the remuneration policy, the KPIs and their respective relative weighting for the short-term variable annual bonus of the members of the Executive Committee are set as follows:
| Collective KPIs (85%) | Personal KPIs (15%) |
|---|---|
| EPS (70%) | Operating margin (15%) |
| Personal targets supporting the Company’s strategic imperatives |
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has made a proposal on the personal KPIs and on the performance levels (target, minimum threshold and maximum performance level) of the collective KPIs and corresponding bonus levels under the short-term variable bonus (see Annex 1) 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 since 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.
Remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee: LTI variable for the performance cycle 2022-2024: 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 2022-2024 in the context of the long-term variable remuneration for the members of the Executive Committee must 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, or Earnings per share, or Dividend per share | Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria |
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has made on that basis a proposal for the specific KPIs, applicable performance levels (target, minimum threshold and maximum performance level) and corresponding bonus levels for the performance cycle 2022-2024 (see Annex 2) 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 2022-2024 and requests the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to prepare the addenda to the management agreements to include this decision.
Fixed remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee
As indicated during the previous Board meeting, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has requested Willis Towers Watson to perform a new benchmark study concerning the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee. The latest study dated from June 2019. Based on the results of this new benchmark study, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee proposes within the framework of the existing remuneration policy some adaptations to the fixed remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee to enter into force as from 1 July 2022. The proposed adaptations are described in Annex 3 to these minutes and are discussed by the Board.# Aedifica - Annual Report 2022

9.2 Compliance Officer
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, Group 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. The compliance officer or, where applicable, the chair of the Board of Directors, shall inform the person concerned within 48 hours of receipt of the written notification whether, in his opinion, there are reasons to believe that the planned transaction constitutes a regulatory violation. The Directors, the members of the Executive Committee and the persons closely related to them must confirm the execution of the transactions to the Company within two working days. The compliance officer must keep a written record of all notifications regarding the planned and completed transactions and confirm receipt of such notifications in writing. The Directors, the members of the Executive Committee and the persons closely related to them must report to the FSMA any transactions in shares of the Company that they carry out of their own account. The reporting obligation referred to above must be fulfilled no later than three working days after the transactions have been carried out.

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.
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 17 May 2022, the capital was increased by €1,957,234.71 to bring the amount of €958,091,797.21 to €960,049,031.92 via a contribution in kind. 74,172 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 2022 financial year as of 29 June 2022.
An appropriate explanation regarding the conditions and the actual consequences of the capital increase of 23 June 2022, 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 23 June 2022.

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 final appointment. This right becomes an obligation each time the number of Directors effectively in office 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 Aedifica. In particular, it should be noted that any draft amendment to Aedifica’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:
- 50% of the capital amount on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 July 2022, 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;
- 20% of the capital amount on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 July 2022, rounded down to the euro cent, if applicable, for capital increases within the scope of the distribution of an optional dividend;
- 10% of the capital amount on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 July 2022, 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 2 years, starting from the publication of the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 July 2022 in the Appendices to the Belgian Official Gazette.
As at 31 December 2022, the balance of the authorised capital amounts to:
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1) 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 | €525,845,767.86 |
| 2) for capital increases within the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend | €210,338,307.14 |
| 3) 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. | €105,169,153.57 |
Taking into account the total maximum amount of the authorised capital (€1,051,691,535.73), the Company is able to raise its capital by €1,051,691,535.73.
Moreover, in accordance with Article 6.2 of the Articles of Association, Aedifica 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 notification of the transaction to the FSMA. As at 31 December 2022, Aedifica had pledged none of its own shares.
Important agreements to which Aedifica is a party and which enter into force, are amended or expire in the event of a change of control over Aedifica following a public takeover bid
It is common practice that credit agreements contain so-called change of control clauses that allow the lender to suspend the use of the credit and/or 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 entered into with BNP Paribas Fortis on 15 June 2016, 24 February 2017, 14 November 2017, 31 October 2019, 23 June 2021 and 6 July 2022;
- the credit agreements entered into with KBC Bank on 12 November 2019, 8 June 2021, 7 April 2022 and 30 January 2023;
- the credit agreements entered into with KBC Bank, German branch on 16 November 2017;
- the credit agreement entered into with Caisse d’Epargne Hauts De France on 4 January 2018;
- the credit agreements entered into with Banque Européenne du Crédit Mutuel on 25 May 2018 and 21 December 2018;
- the credit agreements entered into with Belfius Bank on 27 June 2016, 14 May 2018, 21 December 2018, 18 May 2020, 12 July 2021 and 31 March 2022;
- the credit agreements entered into with ING Belgium on 14 February 2017, 15 May 2018, 15 July 2021, 14 June 2022 and 22 November 2022;
- the credit agreements entered into with BNP Paribas Niederlassung Deutschland on 6 November 2019;
- the credit agreements entered into with Triodos Bank on 3 February 2017 and 15 May 2018;
- the credit agreements entered into with Argenta Spaarbank and Argenta Assuranties on 20 December 2017;
- the syndicated loan agreement entered into with the BPCE group on 29 June 2018;
- the credit agreements entered into with ABN Amro Bank on 12 March 2021, 27 July 2021, 22 November 2021 and 28 July 2022;
- the credit agreements entered into with Société Générale on 13 March 2020 and 31 August 2020;
- the credit agreement entered into with Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., Amsterdam branch, on 8 June 2022;
- the credit agreement entered into with Bank Of China (EUROPE) S.A. on 1 July 2022;
- the Company's guarantees towards the European Investment Bank, in favour of Hoivatilat Oyj (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) for the fulfilment of the latter's payment obligations under the credit agreements it entered into with the European Investment Bank on 21 May 2018 and 20 June 2019 and subsequently and most recently amended on 28 February 2023.
In addition, the treasury notes issued on 17 December 2018 under the long-term treasury notes programme contain a change of control clause. The USPP Bond 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 Bond issued by the Company on 2 September 2021 also contains 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), apart from the clauses included in the credit and debt agreements dating from after the last Ordinary General Meeting of 10 May 2022, for which approval of the change of control clause will be requested at the General Meeting of 9 May 2023.
Agreements established between Aedifica 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 Aedifica employees.

This is Aedifica
Strategy & value creation
Business review
Aedifica's strategy aims to create long-term value for all its stakeholders by focusing on investing in European healthcare real estate. Through its 'buy and hold' strategy, the Group aims to create a solid and growing revenue stream and dividend while maintaining a robust and diversified balance sheet. However, Aedifica's operations are carried out in a constantly changing environment that exposes the Group to internal and external risks and uncertainties that could impact its ability to achieve its objectives. Aedifica is committed to managing these risks and uncertainties to the best of its ability by continuously monitoring their indicators. Moreover, Aedifica firmly believes that risk management should not only be discussed at Board level, but should also be integrated into the corporate culture of the Group to create an environment where all employees are aware of the Group's risks and to help better identify, monitor and mitigate them. In 2022, a new risk management tool was introduced, allowing the evolution of risks to be monitored. This tool helps the Group to keep up to date with the latest macro-economic events and allows it to analyse their impact on the Group’s ability to generate a solid and growing income stream.
Most material risks
Aedifica identifies its key risks by considering their impact on the Group's KPIs and their likelihood of occurrence (see impact/likeli - hood heath map). During the 2022 risk assessment (which consid- ers all identified risks as from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2022), 31 risks were identified and monitored. Following an internal assessment, Aedifica decided to report the most material and rele- vant risks out of those 31 risks (see below). The assessment con- sidered the likelihood and impact of each risk, taking into account any existing mitigation measures taken by Aedifica. The other risks were either not Group-specific or the risk assessment concluded that they were not to be considered as having a significant impact on the Group’s strategy.

IMPACT / LIKELIHOOD HEATH MAP
It is acknowledged that other risk factors may exist, which are currently unknown, cannot be foreseen, and/or are, considering the information Aedifica possesses at the date of publication of this annual report, considered as remote or not significant for the Group, its operations and/or its financial position. The following overview is therefore not exhaustive and was prepared on the basis of the information available at the date of publication of this annual report.
1. Financing risk
Risk category: Financial
Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description:
-
Why is this risk significant for Aedifica?
As a RREC, Aedifica is largely depen- dent on its ability, and the terms against which it is able, to secure funds, whether through borrowings or share- holder’s equity, to finance its activities and investments. Various negative scenarios, such as:- in general:
- disruptions in the international financial debt and equity capital markets;
- a reduction in banks’ lending capa- cities and/or willingness;
- a deterioration in the Group’s creditworthiness;
- and more specifically:
- an increase of interest rates;
- a negative investor perception towards real estate companies in general and/or the real estate segment the Group invests in particularly,
may occur, making it difficult or even impossible to secure new or renew (on favourable terms) debt and/or equity financing. A material increase in the Group’s cost of capital will have an impact on the profitability of the Group as a whole and on new investments, while the unavaila- bility of financing may ultimately lead to liquidity issues.
- in general:
-
How does Aedifica mitigate this risk?
- The unavailability of financial resour- ces (via cash flow or available credit facilities) to pay interest and ope- rating costs, dividends and repay outstanding capital on loans at the relevant maturity date.
- Financing at an increased cost will lead to a decrease in profitability. An increase of 100 basis points in Euribor interest rates implies a negative effect on EPRA Earnings* of €4.1 million, corresponding to €0.10 per share (taking into account derivatives in place as at 31 Decem- ber 2022).
- On 31 December 2022:
- approx. €423 million in long- term debt will mature within one year, €265 million in 2024 and €170 million in 2025;
- 66% of the Group’s financial debt consists of floating-rate debt and 34% of fixed-rate debt. The unhedged part of the total financial debt equals 22%.
- An increased difficulty, or even inabi- lity, to finance identified new acqui- sitions or development projects:
- On 31 December 2022:
- Rising interest rates may negati- vely affect the future growth of the Group and the profitability of new acquisitions and/or developments if the cost of new financing is too high compared to the yield offered by the future assets.
- As a result of market-wide negative investor sentiment, the Aedifica share price (€75.80) fell below the Net Asset Value per share (€82.37) at the end of the financial year, making it more dif- ficult to (i) acquire properties by way of contributions in kind, (ii) raise equity capital, as well as (iii) maintain earnings per share (and therefore dividend per share) at a stable level.
- Aedifica performs a quarterly moni- toring of the average cost of debt. As per 31 December 2022, the average cost of debt* including commitment fees amounts to 1.4% of the Group’s total debt.
- Aedifica monitors hedge maturi- ties to ensure that at least 60% of floating rate debt is hedged against interest rate fluctuations.
-
Aedifica has secured sufficient credit lines to finance operating costs and committed investments. As of 31 December 2022, the total amount of undrawn and confirmed long-term credit facilities amounts to approx. €930 million. See page 85.
- Aedifica is developing an ever-ex- panding network of current and potential providers of financial resources.
- Aedifica has established an equity story which leads to a positive per- ception of the Group’s access to capital markets.
- Aedifica has adopted a conservative and prudent financing strategy with a balanced spread of debt maturity dates. See page 84.
- Aedifica monitors its cash balances on a daily basis.
-
Which Key Risk Indicators help Aedifica to monitor this risk?
- Evolution of interest rates.
- Hedging ratio.
- Liquidity on committed credit lines
- Share price vs Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.
- Average cost of debt.
- Debt-to-assets ratio.
- Credit rating from external agencies.

Why is this risk significant for Aedifica?
The Group’s total turnover consists of rental income from buildings leased to professional care operators. A gloomy economic climate or other factors can have a material impact on the rent pay- ment capacity of Aedifica’s tenants. For example, the energy crisis along with rising labour costs has led to a decre- ase in operators’ profitability, has put pressure on operators' margins and, in turn, may have weakened their capa- city to pay rent. In some cases, at the request of the tenant, the Group may decide to (temporarily) reduce the rent of cer- tain assets in order to rebalance the tenants' rent levels in relation to their future income potential. Furthermore, when tenants leave on a due date or when the lease expires, new leases may yield lower rents than current leases. In worst case scenarios, a tenant may default and the rental income may be completely lost, which would be exacerbated if a new tenant cannot be found quickly and/or the new tenant asks for a rent reduction. This risk would have a negative impact on the Group’s operating and net results, and hence on earnings per share and therefore on the Company’s ability to pay dividends. -
How does Aedifica mitigate this risk?
- As per 31 December 2022:
- outstanding trade receivables amount to €25.6 million;
- impairment provisions on outstan- ding trade receivables amount to €2 million.
- As per 31 December 2022:
- A decrease in rental income, as the case may be pursuant to rene- gotiations, will affect earnings per share. At 31 December 2022, a -1% decrease in rental income would reduce earnings per share by €0.07.
- The Group is not insured against tenant default.
- Aedifica performs a thorough ana- lysis of the operator’s business plan before investing in a new project.
- Aedifica monitors the tenant’s finan- cial performance.
- Aedifica has implemented procedu- res for billing and monitoring tenants with payment difficulties.# Aedifica - Annual Report 2022

Strategy & value creation
Business review
• Aedifica has secured rental guarantees (in the form of bank guarantees, rent deposits (type of credit insurance), parent guarantees or other types of security interest) with operators, in line with established market practice in each of the various jurisdictions in which the Group is active.
• Diversification/concentration in tenant base (Korian – the tenant with the largest share in Aedifica's rental income – represents 11% of the Group’s rental income).
• Diversification in asset type within the healthcare real estate segment.
• Creditworthiness of the tenant.
• Evolution of tenant KPIs (EBITDARM, rent cover, occupancy rate, etc.).
• Deviation of rental income from budget.

3. Fair value of the real estate
Risk category: Market Risk
Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description: Why is this risk significant for Aedifica?
The fair value of investment properties (accounted for in accordance with IAS 40, assessed by independent valuation experts on a quarterly basis) fluctuates over time and depends on various factors over which the Group does not always have complete control (such as decreasing demand, technical quality of the building incl. sustainability requirements, decreasing occupancy rates, decreasing rental income (see also risk factor 2. ‘Rents and Tenants’), an increase in transfer tax charges, increasing interest rates (see also risk factor 1. ‘Financing Risk’), etc.). A potential loss on marketable investment properties in the portfolio could have a negative impact on the net result and the Group’s financial situation.
How does Aedifica mitigate this risk?
• As of 31 December 2022, a change of 1% in the fair value of marketable investment properties would have an impact of approx. €57 million on the Group’s net result, approx. €1.4 on the net asset value per share and approx. 0.4% on the consolidated debt-to-assets ratio. Over the course of the 2022 financial year, the fair value of marketable investment properties increased by 2.2% on a like-for-like basis.
• The fair value of investment properties is assessed by independent valuation experts on a quarterly basis.
• The independent valuation experts are rotated in accordance with article 24, §2 of the RREC Act.
• Aedifica’s triple and double net leases imply that tenants are responsible for the day-to-day management, maintenance and repair of the buildings. Nevertheless, to the extent possible, Aedifica performs yearly condition checks. These checks are based on the Dutch norm NEN 2767, which allows Aedifica to measure the physical and technical quality of its buildings objectively and uniformly.
• In the framework of the net zero carbon pathway, the Group is preparing a long-term capex strategy to improve the quality of its assets and reach net zero GhG emissions by 2050.
Which Key Risk Indicators help Aedifica to monitor this risk?
• Yield evolution.
• Interest rate evolution.
• Capex amount spent on existing asset.
• Age of the building.
• Energy performance of the building.

4. Climate change
Risk category: Sustainability
Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description: Why is this risk significant for Aedifica?
Climate change brings various challenges that impact the integrity and the way in which care homes need to be built to counter and withstand those challenges (extreme temperatures will require specific ventilation and temperature control measures, while increasing extreme natural events and weather conditions will necessitate the implementation of different building techniques). The foregoing in combination with increasingly strict regulations, the (future) imposition of CO2 emission-related taxes on buildings if they do not meet certain thresholds, in addition to the general shift of the economy from fossil fuels towards a lower-carbon economy, may lead to a complete rethinking of the way buildings are designed, resulting in higher direct and indirect investment and operational costs, which in turn will negatively affect the profitability of new and existing assets and therefore of the Group.
How does Aedifica mitigate this risk?
• Negative impact on rental income (see also risk factor 2. ‘Rents and tenants’)
• Negative impact on the fair value of assets (see also risk factor 3. ‘Fair value of the real estate’)
• Negative impact on occupancy rates (see also risk factor 2. ‘Rents and tenants’)
• Inability to lease or dispose of unsustainable assets
• With its net zero carbon pathway, Aedifica has established a roadmap to achieve net zero GhG emissions by 2050 (see page 52).
• Aedifica performs environmental due diligences for new assets/development projects.
• Aedifica monitors the energy performance of its portfolio. The breakdown of the energy performance of the Group's properties as at 31 December 2022 will be reported in the June 2023 Environmental Data Report.
• Aedifica’s triple and double net leases imply that tenants are responsible for the day-to-day management, maintenance and repair of the buildings. Nevertheless, to the extent possible, Aedifica performs yearly condition checks. These checks are based on the Dutch norm NEN 2767, which allows Aedifica to measure the physical and technical quality of its buildings objectively and uniformly.
• Aedifica implemented a building assessment framework (see page 53). This assessment includes 42 risk items and is carried out at different stages of the building life cycle. It gives Aedifica insight into the potential physical risks due to climate change, which can be used to take measures to protect properties.
• The Group, with the help of an external partner, is conducting a risk analysis to better understand the physical and transit risks to its portfolio. The findings will be incorporated into the building assessment framework.
• Investings in a property portfolio spread across Europe is an effective way to mitigate the potential risks associated with extreme weather events. Geographical diversification allows investments to be spread across regions with different climates, reducing the impact of extreme weather events such as floods and droughts.
Which Key Risk Indicators help Aedifica to monitor this risk?
• Aedifica’s ESG scores.
• Net energy use intensity of buildings.
• Age of buildings.
• Capex budget at property level.
• Energy performance of the building.
• Percentage of sustainable financing (see also risk factor 6. ‘Debt structure’).
• Geographical diversification.

5. Inflation
Risk category: Market Risk
Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description: Why is this risk significant for Aedifica?
Inflation significantly increased in 2022 (compared to 2021) in all markets in which the Group is active. All of the Group’s rents are subject to indexation (although the indexation mechanism differs between the countries in which the Group operates). Since the Group’s WAULT stands at 19 years, the future like-for-like evolution of rental income and the valuation of these assets depend to a large extent on inflation. However, the indexation to be applied pursuant to the indexation clauses could (i) deviate from the actual inflation rate (e.g. due to the fact that the indexation clause provides for a cap at a level that is lower than the actual inflation at that time or, pursuant to negotiations with the operator) and/or (ii) be subject to a time-lag in its application compared to the time at which the actual inflation takes place (e.g. due to the fact that the indexation clause only provides for an indexation at certain set intervals).
How does Aedifica mitigate this risk?
• The market is very sensitive to Aedifica’s ability to pass on inflationary increases in its rental income. Failure to translate the inflation rate into a rent increase would affect the future growth potential of rental income. The like-for-like evolution of rental income amounts to 4.2% as of 31 December 2022.
• High inflation and high(er) interest rates could lead to higher debt costs that are not fully offset by rent increases if (i) indexation clauses do not follow the same pace as the actual inflation and/or (ii) tenants are not able to pay the uplift (see risk factor 1. ‘Financing risk’ as well as risk factor 2. ‘Rents and tenants’).
• All of Aedifica's leases are subject to some form of indexation.
• Aedifica is in close contact with its tenants to assess the impact of indexation on their profitability.
Which Key Risk Indicators help Aedifica to monitor this risk?
• Evolution of consumer price indices/ health indices.
• Like-for-like reporting on evolution of rental income.
• Assessment of tenant KPIs.
• Follow-up on changes in national/ regional social security policies.

6. Debt structure
Risk category: Financial Risk
Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description: Why is this risk significant for Aedifica?
As a Belgian RREC, Aedifica is subject to strict regulatory financial covenants stemming from the RREC Regulation, as well as contractual financial covenants included in its financing agreements.Failure to comply with these can have far-reaching consequences, including:
• sanctions, e.g., loss of RREC status and/or stricter supervision by the relevant regulator(s) if statutory financial parameters (e.g., 65% debt- to-assets ratio threshold) would be exceeded;
• a termination or renegotiation of credit facilities or mandatory early repayment of outstanding amounts, as well as impaired trust between the Group and investors and/or between the Group and financial institutions, in case of (imminent) non-compliance with contractual covenants (e.g., 60% debt-to-assets ratio threshold, negative pledge covenant, interest cover ratio covenant);
• a withdrawal or downgrade of the BBB investment-grade rating by S&P Global (e.g., long-term non-sustaina- bility of the 50% debt-to-assets ratio threshold).
Additionally, some or all these defaults could allow creditors (i) to seek early repayment of such debts as well as other debts that are subject to cross default or cross acceleration provisi- ons, (ii) to declare all loans outstanding due and payable and/or (iii) to cancel undrawn commitments. Ultimately, this would lead to reduced liquidity (see also risk factor 1. ‘Finan - cing risk’) or might require a disposal of assets to reimburse outstanding loans.
Aedifica's consolidated debt-to-assets ratio amounts to 43.6% (31 December 2021: 42.6%). The table below sets out the Group’s additional consolidated debt capacity assuming a debt-to-assets-ratio of 65% (maxi- mum 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 proper- ties that the current balance sheet structure can absorb.
• Aedifica monitors and publishes the debt-to-assets ratio on a quarterly basis and its evolution is projected during the approval process of each major investment decision.
• Aedifica monitors the evolution of the fair value of assets on a quarterly basis.
• Aedifica monitors its financial covenants.
• Aedifica diversifies its sources of financing (see Note 32 – Borro - wings in the Consolidated Financial Statements).
• Debt-to-assets ratio.
• Evolution of the fair value of assets.
• Evolution of outstanding financial debt.

Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description: Why is this risk significant for Aedifica? How does Aedifica mitigate this risk? Which Key Risk Indicators help Aedifica to monitor this risk?
As at 31 December 2022, the Group earns part of its income and incurs part of its expenses in the United Kingdom (approx. 21.0%) and Sweden (approx. 1.4%) and is therefore exposed to an exchange rate risk (£/€ and SEK/€ respectively). Future fluctuations in the exchange rate may affect the value of the Group’s investment properties, rental income and net result, all of which are expressed in euro.
• As at 31 December 2022, a 10% change in the £/€ exchange rate has an impact of approx. €99.4 million on the fair value of the Group’s investment properties located in the United Kingdom, approx. €5.7 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €2.8 million on the Group’s net result.
• As at 31 December 2022, a 10% change in 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. €0.4 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €0.2 million on the Group’s net result.
• A natural hedge (balance sheet) relating to the £/€ exchange rate risk has been put in place as Aedi- fica has entered into financing in £ amounting to £340 million.
• Exchange rate fluctuation €/£.
• Exchange rate fluctuation €/SEK.
• Actual exchange rate fluctuation compared to the budget.

8. Reputational risk
Risk category: Strategic
Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description: Why is this risk significant for Aedifica? How does Aedifica mitigate this risk? Which Key Risk Indicators help Aedifica to monitor this risk?
Reputation and visibility are key issues for a BEL 20 listed group in full growth. As the Group grows and internationa- lises, the possibility and impact of the risk of reputational damage increa- ses. Not only does the Group have to ensure its reputation and visibility in the various countries in which it operates, its reporting is also analysed more carefully by an ever-growing pool of investors and analysts. The treatment of residents by tenants, or the percep- tion of healthcare providers in general, may also affect the Group's reputation. Should the Group’s reputation suffer, this could affect its growth prospects and make access to capital more dif- ficult (see also risk factor 1. ‘Financing risk’).
• For the Group’s investors, it is important that:
- Aedifica has sound CSR scores to justify an investment in the Group or the granting of financing (see also risk factor 6. ‘Debt structure’);
- Aedifica is sufficiently transparent with regard to ESG (see also risk factor 4. ‘Climate change’).
• The scandal relating to Orpea can be linked to a decrease in Aedifi- ca’s share price around that period (from 24 January 2022 to 7 February 2022) of approx. 16%, even though only 5% of the Group’s contractual rent at the time was derived from assets leased by Orpea (BE: 2.5%; DE: 1.1%; NL: 1.1%).
• The Group transparently communi - cates its financial and sustainability performance in line with industry standards (e.g., EPRA and GRI).
• As high-quality treatment and com- fort of residents are of utmost impor- tance to the Group, (i) all public reports from local healthcare autho- rities are monitored, (ii) if not publi- cly available the Group requests to receive such reports from its opera- tors, and (iii) the Group requests its operators to comply with a certain level of quality-of-care standards (see page 59).
• Monitoring of publicly available care quality ratings.
• GRESB score.
• EPRA (s)BPR score.
• Sustainalitics Risk Rating.

9. Regulatory changes
Risk category: Legal
Risk strategy: Accept/Avoid/Transfer/Mitigate
Risk description: Why is this risk significant for Aedifica? How does Aedifica mitigate this risk? Which Key Risk Indicators help Aedifica to monitor this risk?
New regulations or changes in existing regulations (at European, national or local level) impacting the Group’s activi- ties, the Group’s taxation, the (financing of the) activities of the tenants, and/or a change in the application or interpre- tation of such regulations by the admi- nistration (including the tax authorities) or the courts, can increase the Group’s (administrative) costs and liabilities, and may have a major impact on the return, the fair value of the investment proper- ties (see also risk factor 3. ‘Fair value of the real estate’) and on tenants and their ability to pay rent (see also risk factor 2. ‘Rents and tenants’).
• Often, an important part of the reve- nues of care operators are derived from subsidies (direct or indirect) granted by local social security systems. A reform of these finan- cing systems in any of the regions in which the Group operates (e.g. as a result of the pressure exerted by the COVID-19 pandemic on social security systems, increasing infla- tion, etc.), could potentially have an impact on the solvency of care operators, creating the risk that they would not be able to meet their contractual obligations to the Group (see risk factor 2. ‘Rents and tenants’).
• A reduced withholding tax rate of 15% (instead of the 30% standard rate) applies to dividends distribu- ted 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) located in a member state of the European Economic Area. If Aedifica’s real estate portfolio as at 31 December 2022 remains unchanged, Aedifica’s shareholders will lose the favoura- ble withholding tax rate of 15% on dividends received from Aedifica as of 1 January 2026 (i.e., the date on which the transitional regime that was instituted following Brexit, and which provides for the inclusion of Aedifica’s UK portfolio in the 80% threshold, ends), which will as of then be subject to the standard withholding tax rate of 30%. The 30% withholding tax may affect Aedifica's ability to raise new equity as the net dividend received by investors would be lower than under a 15% withholding tax.
• By monitoring the country/regi- on-specific regulatory frameworks as much as possible.
• By diversifying the Group’s assets, which are located in different coun - tries and regions (see page 38).
• By limiting the concentration of ope- rators in the Group’s portfolio (see page 40).
• Geographical diversification.
• Diversification per tenant.

Note 2: Accounting policies
Note 2.1: Basis of preparation
The Consolidated Financial Statements cover the 12-month period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. They have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as adopted by the European Union 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 2021. 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 goodwill impairment tests and determination of fair value of investment properties). 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 2022, but had no significant impact on the current Consolidated Financial Statements: - ‘Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020’ (applicable as from 1 January 2022); - new amendment to IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ (applicable as from 1 January 2022); - new amendment to IFRS 16 ‘Leases: COVID-19-related rent concessions’ (applicable as from 1 January 2022); - amendment to IAS 16 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ (applicable as from 1 January 2022); - amendment to IAS 37 ‘Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets’ (applicable as from 1 January 2022).

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
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary, nor an interest in a joint arrangement. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but does not imply control or joint control over those policies. A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions on relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or joint venture is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The investor’s share of the investee’s profit or loss is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss.
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 (Aedifica has only one such partnership, namely AKJV in the Netherlands).
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 retranslating monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies, are booked in the Income Statement.# 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 Investment value
‘Investment value’ is defined as the value assessed by a valuation expert, from which transfer costs have not been deducted (also known as ‘gross capital value’).
1.3 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.
1.4 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.
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 2022 are:
- balance sheet: 1 € = 0.88617 £
- income statement: 1 € = 0.85271 £
- balance sheet: 1 € = 11.17069 SEK
- income statement: 1 € = 10.63390 SEK## 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%.
As required by IFRS 16, this balance sheet line also includes the value of the right of use of company cars and buildings used by the Group as offices. This value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts.
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 the income statement. Receivables are valued at amortised cost.
I.H. Deferred tax assets
When a building is acquired outside of Belgium, the Deferred Tax Assets mainly relate to unrealised losses on the difference between the fair value and the tax value of the buildings, whereby we expect that the effective tax loss (in case of a sale) can be offset with the taxable income of the entity concerned in the foreseeable future.
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. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or joint venture is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The investor’s share of the investee’s profit or loss is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss. They relate to Immobe NV/SA, MMCG 2 DEVCO 2 Limited, MMCG 2 DEVCO 3 Limited and Aedifica Sonneborgh Ontwikkeling BV (associates).
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 according to (i) the management assumption on outstanding receivables of more than 120 days and (ii) by applying 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.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%.
As required by IFRS 16, this balance sheet line also includes the value of the right of use of company cars and buildings used by the Group as offices. This value is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts.
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.# I. Accounting Policies
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 the income statement. Receivables are valued at amortised cost.
I.H. Deferred tax assets
When a building is acquired outside of Belgium, the Deferred Tax Assets mainly relate to unrealised losses on the difference between the fair value and the tax value of the buildings, whereby we expect that the effective tax loss (in case of a sale) can be offset with the taxable income of the entity concerned in the foreseeable future.
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. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or joint venture is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The investor’s share of the investee’s profit or loss is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss. They relate to Immobe NV/SA, MMCG 2 DEVCO 2 Limited, MMCG 2 DEVCO 3 Limited and Aedifica Sonneborgh Ontwikkeling BV (associates).
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 according to (i) the management assumption on outstanding receivables of more than 120 days and (ii) by applying 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).
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
Indemnities for early lease termination are recognised in the income statement when it is highly probable that Aedifica will collect the indemnities. To evaluate whether the fees will be collectible, Aedifica will only consider the customer's ability and intention to pay that amount when due.
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 ica’s leases are classs operating leases with Aedifica being the lessor for the following reasons:
- there is no transfer of ownership of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term;
- the lessee does not have the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is significantly lower than the fair value;
- the lease term is usually shorter than the asset’s main economic life.
Lease incentives are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, in accordance with IFRS 16.
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.
– 153 –
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 recognised at the company level, taking into account the anticipated date of the merger or approval. Any adjustment to this exit tax liability is recognised in the income statement. This tax will be paid when the company is merged into the parent company with RREC status. When the merger or approval takes place, the provision becomes a liability and any difference is also recognised in the income statement.
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 of IFRS 2, amounts related to the equity incentive plan are recognised in equity against the income statement 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 52 properties (in the segments ‘Belgium’, ‘Netherlands’ and ‘Germany’) rented out to legal entities controlled by the Korian group, for which rents represent 11% of the Company’s total 2022 rental income (12% in the prior financial year). Rents mentioned here represent the turnover realised by the Company over the course of the financial year, accounted for in accordance with IFRS standards. This differs from the contractual rent, which reflects the yearly rent as mentioned in the contract and does not take into consideration the straight-lining of lease incentives.
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 recognised at the company level, taking into account the anticipated date of the merger or approval. Any adjustment to this exit tax liability is recognised in the income statement. This tax will be paid when the company is merged into the parent company with RREC status. When the merger or approval takes place, the provision becomes a liability and any difference is also recognised in the income statement.
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 of IFRS 2, amounts related to the equity incentive plan are recognised in equity against the income statement 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 52 properties (in the segments ‘Belgium’, ‘Netherlands’ and ‘Germany’) rented out to legal entities controlled by the Korian group, for which rents represent 11% of the Company’s total 2022 rental income (12% in the prior financial year). Rents mentioned here represent the turnover realised by the Company over the course of the financial year, accounted for in accordance with IFRS standards. This differs from the contractual rent, which reflects the yearly rent as mentioned in the contract and does not take into consideration the straight-lining of lease incentives.

The Group rents its buildings under operating leases. Even though lease terms are generally long, the criteria for classifying leases as finance leases are not met for the following reasons:
- there is no transfer of ownership of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term;
- the lessee does not have the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is significantly lower than the fair value;
- the lease term is usually shorter than the asset’s main economic life.
For these three reasons, the Group’s leases are classified as operating leases. From these operating leases, more than 99% are income related to fixed lease payments. The increase in rents earned compared to the previous period is related to the growth of the portfolio during the 2022 financial year and annual indexation.
The schedule of future minimum lease payments to be collected under non-cancellable operating leases required by IFRS 16.97 is based on the following assumptions, which are conservative:
- Long-term leases: no inflation.
- Rents in foreign currencies in the United-Kingdom and Sweden are converted at the 2022 average exchange rate of 0.85271 €/£ and 10.63390 €/SEK, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments to be collected under non-cancellable operating leases are presented as follows: (x €1,000)

Rental income includes contingent rents amounting to €366 k (31 December 2021: €1,082 k).
In 2021, the main write-downs for doubtful debts (€0.7 million) related to the Netherlands. In 2022, a total of €1.6 million has been recognised as write-downs on rental income. This is explained by the difficult economic environment operators had to face with increasing energy and labor costs.

For 2022, the most significant changes are registered in the United Kingdom, Finland and Ireland. These changes are explained as follows:
- United Kingdom: Following the initial recovery of the economy after the pandemic, there is currently considerable uncertainty in the UK due to several factors, including the reaction to the mini-budget and the fact that economic commentators and rating agencies are forecasting a decline in UK GDP, with recession widely predicted.
- Finland: Current market uncertainty is causing upward pressure on yields, especially in the tightest-priced sectors. This pressure has increased further as the year progressed. The market in H2 2022 differs significantly from that in H1. The entire real estate market has experienced unusual volatility in recent months. Market shifts have been unusually quick and their amplitude considerably larger than under standard market conditions. The development gains on own development projects positively supported the fair value for 2022.
- Ireland: For the initial recognition of the fair value, the transaction costs (between 6% and 8%, which are higher than in other countries) are deducted from the acquisition value. In current market conditions, this negative impact is not offset by the increase in fair value.

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.
On 7 July 2022, Aedifica created Sonneborgh Ontwikkeling BV for the acquisition of a real estate company that owns a plot of land in the Netherlands. The purpose of Aedifica Sonneborgh Ontwikkeling BV is to obtain building permits and construct a care home. Upon completion, the building will be transferred to Aedifica Sonneborgh Real Estate BV, another company controlled by Aedifica.
On 1 April 2022 and 9 September 2022, Aedifica UK Limited acquired a 25% stake in 2 British real estate companies that own plots of land (MMCG 2 Devco 2 Limited and MMCG2 Devco 3 Limited, respectively). The value of the shares acquired amounts to £268 for each company. The remaining shares are held by Maria Mallaband Care Group, which is developing a care home on each of the plots. Upon completion of the buildings in 2023 and 2024, Aedifica UK Limited will acquire full ownership of the completed properties by taking control of the remaining shares in the companies. The completed properties will be leased to MMCG (2) Limited which will operate the care homes (see press releases of 1 April 2022 and 9 September 2022 for more information).

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.
Fiscal Investment Institutions ('FBI') in the Netherlands
In September 2022, the Dutch government announced its intention to exclude direct investments in real estate from the Fiscal Investment Institutions (Fiscale Beleggingsinstellingen, ‘FBI’) regime as from 1 January 2024. The possible entry into force of this measure was recently postponed to 1 January 2025. Although the Aedifica Group was of the opinion that it meets the conditions for claiming FBI status and submitted applications to the Dutch tax authorities to that effect, the Group opted, as a matter of prudence, for a common law tax burden in the results of its Dutch subsidiaries from the start of its operations in the Netherlands in 2016. The Aedifica Group still claims the application of this regime for its subsidiaries active in the Netherlands. In case the FBI regime is granted, the cumulative positive retroactive impact on current taxes and EPRA Earnings is estimated to amount to approx. €13 million for the period 2016-2022. During recent discussions with the Dutch tax authorities, Aedifica Group received confirmation that the FBI requirements have in any event already been met for the period up to 2020. Refunds will be recognised in the income statement upon receipt of final corporate tax assessments.
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).

Note 19: Earnings per share
The earnings per share (‘EPS’ as defined by IAS 33) is calculated as follows:
| 31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Profit (loss) (Owners of the parent) (x €1,000) | 331,778 | 281,824 |

| Basic EPS (in €) | 8.71 | 8.10 |
| Diluted EPS (in €) | 8.71 | 8.10 |
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 (see Note 44). It is calculated as follows:
| 31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Profit (loss) (Owners of the parent) | 331,778 | 281,824 |

| of which: gross value | 165,204 | 165,678 |
| cumulative impairment losses | -21,535 | -3,952 |
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets, the Group primarily analysed the carrying amount of goodwill. The goodwill that arose from the acquisition of Schloss Bensberg Management GmbH (€335 k) was set at zero during the 2017/2018 financial year. The gross value of goodwill and cumulative impairment losses were removed from the balance sheet following the disposal of the subsidiary. The gross value of goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Hoivatilat Oyj in 2020 remains unchanged (€161,726 k). 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 assets acquired.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets, the Group primarily analysed the carrying amount of goodwill. The goodwill that arose from the acquisition of Schloss Bensberg Management GmbH (€335 k) was set at zero during the 2017/2018 financial year. The gross value of goodwill and cumulative impairment losses were removed from the balance sheet following the disposal of the subsidiary. The gross value of goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Hoivatilat Oyj in 2020 remains unchanged (€161,726 k).# Impairment Test
On 31 December 2022, the goodwill of the Hoivatilat Oyj acquisition was subject to an impairment test by comparing the carrying value of the cash generating units to which goodwill is allocated with the recoverable amount of those Cash Generating Units (CGU). CGU’s to which goodwill is allocated are the existing investment properties of Hoivatilat in Finland, together with the future development activities in Finland enabled by Hoivatilat’s internal development team and aligned with the development objectives set as from acquisition.
In determining the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit, management uses estimates. The methods used to calculate the recoverable amount include methods based on discounted cash flows and methods based on market prices. Discounted cash flow valuations refer to projections based on financial plans approved by management, which are also used for internal purposes. The chosen planning horizon reflects the assumptions for short- to medium-term market developments and is taken into account for the calculation of the perpetual annuity. The terminal value is reached at the end of the planning horizon, taking into account the achievement of the development pipeline.
On 31 December 2022, the recoverable amount is the estimated fair value less cost of disposal of the Hoivatilat shares. The fair value less costs of disposal is determined by the Group using the expected future net cash flows covering the next four years based on the rents of the underlying investment properties and development projects (as per the tenants’ lease agreements), the expenses to maintain and manage the property portfolio, and the value of development activities. Cash flows beyond the first 4 planning years are extrapolated using an appropriate terminal growth rate. This valuation represents a level 3 fair value measurement.
The key assumptions in determining fair value less disposal costs are the completion of the development pipeline over the next four years, the indexation rate (which also directly affects the terminal growth rate) and the discount rate. They are mainly derived from internal sources and are based on past experience and extended by current internal expectations, and underlined by external market data and estimates. Any future changes in the above assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair values of the cash-generating units.
Management’s approach in the calculation of the fair value less cost of disposal of Hoivatilat:
- The cash flow forecast (based on a budget plan approved by management) applied to determine the value of investment properties and ongoing development projects covers 4 years after testing date.
- The indexation rate applied to the 4-year forecast is based on the consumer price index in Finland and varies for each lease.
- The terminal perpetual growth rate applied on the last cash flow of the four year budget stands at 2%, which corresponds to the ECB's long-term target (2% in the 2021 impairment test).
- The value of development activities is determined assuming that a pipeline of €100 million per year will be developed over 4 years and sold upon completion. The yield on cost applied to determine the fair value of the non-committed pipeline amounts to approx. 6% (6% in the 2021 impairment test) and is based on the assumptions used by the independent real estate experts in the valuation of the existing portfolio. Climate change is one of the variables that experts include in their valuation.
- The discount rate amounts to 4.75% (4.25% in the 2021 impairment test), based on the average required return on equity and debt. Management applies a capital asset pricing model based on observable market data.
The assumptions used in our valuation model for the execution of development activities and maintenance expenses take into account the current sustainability requirements applicable to this type of assets in Finland. Climate change brings several challenges that may negatively impact the future value of assets (see risk factor 4. ‘Climate change’ on page 134).
On 31 December 2021, the carrying value amounted to €1,079,560 k and the recoverable amount was €1,104,586 k. On 31 December 2022, the carrying value was €1,152,889 k and the recoverable amount was €1,134,832 k. The negative difference of €18.057 k was recognised as impairment in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The estimated recoverable amount is negatively impacted by the discount rate.

The sensitivity analysis does not consider the effect of one variable on the others, because there is no consensus on the methodology to be applied in order to quantify such impact.
Provided that Aedifica UK Management Limited will not provide asset management services outside of the Group, the recoverable amount is considered to be zero. Therefore, the goodwill is entirely amortised on 31 December 2022 (£3,083 k, representing €3,479 k converted at closing rate). The impairment for the period amounts to €47 k in the Consolidated Income Statement (£40 k, converted at the average exchange rate for the period).

The main impact on net exchange difference on foreign operation is generated by the Group’s operations in British pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, its operations in Swedish krona. For more details on the currency valuation method applied within the Group, see Note 2.
The fair value of the marketable investment properties as of 31 December 2022 is assessed by independent valuation experts. The average capitalisation rate applied to contractual rents is 5.51% (in accordance with the valuation methodology – presented in the first bullet of section 1.11 of the Standing Documents included in the 2022 Annual Financial Report). A positive 0.10% change in the capitalisation rate would lead to a negative change of approx. €97 million in the portfolio’s fair value.
2. Acquisitions during the financial year
Acquisitions made during a financial year, as detailed in the Financial Review included in the present Annual Financial Report, can be realised in four ways:
- Acquisition of a property directly, paid in cash, presented under the item ‘Purchase of Investment Properties and Development Projects’ of the cash flow statement;
- Acquisition of a property, paid in shares, these transactions are not included in the cash flow statement as they do not generate cash flow;
- Acquisition of the company owning a property, paid in cash, shown under the item ‘Purchase of Real Estate companies’ of the cash flow statement for the amount of the shares bought;
- Acquisition of the company owning a property, paid in shares, these transactions are not included in the cash flow statement as they do not generate cash flow.

3. Assessment method and unobservable data
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 2022 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:

- ERV / m²: This ratio, expressed in local currency, is obtained by averaging by country the following calculation per asset: fair value weighted ERV/square metres. The ERV/m² can be converted to Group currency based on the exchange rate of 31 December 2022 (0.88617 €/£ and 11.17069 €/SEK).
- Spain: No unobservable data is disclosed as there is no operational marketable investment property as per 31 December 2022.
The remaining economic life of the asset is not formally determined, but implicitly recognised through the discount rate and the exit yield in case of DCF method or implicitly recognised through the capitalisation rate used for the activation method, including a factor for building obsolescence. In all cases, this remaining economic life is at least equal to the remaining term of the current lease. The same principle applies to the operational margin of the operators, which is implicity taken into account in the discount rate and the capitalisation rate. For other unobservable input not included in the table above, see section 1 of the ‘Portfolio’ chapter and ‘Overview of investment properties’ in the ‘Additional information’ chapter. 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, the size of the building, square metre per unit, etc., which explains the significant differences between the minimum and maximum amounts for these unobservable data. Moreover, these unobservable data may be linked. The capitalisation rate is determined by the valuation expert based on economic data and benchmarking and takes into account a risk premium. One of the variables that affect the risk premium is related to climate change.

Additional information
The fair value is supported by market evidence and is based on valuations provided by valuation experts with relevant and recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the geographic areas and property types included in Aedifica’s portfolio. In accordance with legal provisions, properties are revalued four times per year based on valuation reports prepared by the eleven 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 | in case of increase of the unobservable input value |

The collateral at fair value (€135 k; 31 December 2021: €93 k) includes blocked funds in Germany; the United Kingdom and Finland. ‘Other non-current receivables’ corresponds to the receivables from MMCG 2 DEVCO 2 Limited and MMCG 2 DEVCO 3 Limited (subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method). 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 (€6,291 k; 31 December 2021: €5,697 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):

| TRADE RECEIVABLES - NET VALUE | 23,577 | 20,434 |
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 (€67.9 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.

Capital is presented above before subtracting the costs of raising capital (the capital value presented on the balance sheet, is shown net of these costs, in accordance with IFRS).
The table below lists Aedifica’s shareholders holding more than 5% of the voting rights (as of 31 December 2022, based on the number of shares held by the shareholders concerned on 23 September 2022 – see also section 3.3 ‘Shareholding structure’ of the ‘Financial Review’ chapter). As at the closing date of this Annual Financial Report, Aedifica has not received any additional transparency notifications that would change the situation on 23 September 2022. Declarations of transparency and control strings are available on Aedifica’s website. According to Euronext’s definition, the free float is 100%.

The capital increases are disclosed in the ‘Standing Documents’ section of the present Annual Financial Report. All subscribed shares are fully paid-up, with no par value. The shares are registered or dematerialised shares and grant one vote each. All 39,855,243 shares issued as of 31 December 2022 are listed on the regulated markets of Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam. As at 31 December 2022, Aedifica NV/SA holds 277 treasury shares.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 28 July 2022, 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) 20% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of 28 July 2022, 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 28 July 2022, 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 approves the authorisation. This authorisation is granted for a renewable period of two years, calculated from the publication of the minutes of the extraordinary general meeting of 28 July 2022, in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette. 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.
On 31 December 2022, the balance of the authorised capital amounts to:
- 1) €525,845,767.86 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) €210,338,307.14 for capital increases in the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend;
- 3) €105,169,153.57 for
a. capital increases by contribution in kind,

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 €1,051,691,535.73, 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 €3.70 gross per share, i.e. a total dividend of €141,163 k, to be divided over two coupons (coupon no. 30: €1.8145; coupon no. 31: €1.8855). Taking into account the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014, on 31 December 2022 the available (statutory) reserves calculated in accordance with Article 7:212 of the Companies and Associations Code amount to €1,048,761 k, after the dividend distribution proposed above (31 December 2021: €92,001 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). 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.

- 3) 10% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of 28 July 2022, 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 approves the authorisation. This authorisation is granted for a renewable period of two years, calculated from the publication of the minutes of the extraordinary general meeting of 28 July 2022, in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette. 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.
On 31 December 2022, the balance of the authorised capital amounts to:
- 1) €525,845,767.86 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) €210,338,307.14 for capital increases in the framework of the distribution of an optional dividend;
- 3) €105,169,153.57 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 €1,051,691,535.73, on the dates and in accordance with the terms and conditions as will be determined by the Board of Directors.

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 2022 annual financial report.
In respect of these pension schemes, Aedifica held outsourced assets of €1.096 k as at 31 December 2022. An actuarial valuation (using the Traditional Unit Credit (TUC) method) provides that the liabilities are calculated on the basis of the actual built- up minimum reserves at valuation date projected with 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 €18 k as at 31 December 2022.
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 the maturity dates of the drawings.
On 31 December 2022, Aedifica had committed credit facilities totalling €2,334 million granted by 21 banks.
-
Aedifica can use up to €2,234 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). Each withdrawal is made in euro for a period of up to 12 months, at a fixed margin set with reference to the Euribor rate prevailing at the time of the withdrawal. €228 million of these credits lines were directly contracted by Hoivatilat Oyj.
-
Aedifica also has amortising facilities with fixed interest rates between 0.8% and 6.0% amounting to €49 million and variable interest rates amounting to €51 million, of which €48 million are credits held directly or indirectly by Hoivatilat Oyj.
Aedifica NV/SA also has a €500 million treasury notes programme, of which €350 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 2022, the short-term portion of the treasury notes programme (listed under the heading ‘Other’ of ‘Current financial debts’) is used for an amount of €252 million. Hoivatilat Oyj also issues treasury notes in its own name. As of 31 December 2022, the outstanding amount was €11 million (listed under the heading ‘Other’ of ‘Current financial debts’). The entire outstanding amount of the treasury notes programme is fully backed by the available funds on confirmed long-term credit lines.
Moreover, in 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;
- 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 or linked to sustainability KPIs amount to €884 million, of which €847 million is drawn on 31 December 2022 (34% of the drawn debt), highlighting 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 cost of debt* amounted to 1.3% (1.4% in 2021) or 1.4% including commitment fees (1.5% in 2021). Taking into account the duration of the drawings, the carrying amount of the financial debts with variable interest rate approximates their fair value (€1,616 million). The interest rate hedges are discussed in Note 33. The fair value of the financial debts with fixed interest rate (€836 million) is estimated at €630 million.
As of 31 December 2022, the Group did not mortgage or pledge any Belgian, Dutch, British or Irish building to its creditors. In Germany, Finland and Sweden, however, it is common practice for real estate to be secured as part of bank financing. As of 31 December 2022, the ratio between the secured financial debt and the total consolidated assets was 4%.
Taking these elements into account, the maturity dates of Aedifica’s financial debts as of 31 December 2022 are as follows:
| Financial debt (in € million) | Lines | Utilisation | of which treasury notes |

1 Amounts in £ were converted into € based on the exchange rate of 31 December 2022 (0.88617 €/£).
2 Without regard to short-term treasury notes.
Without regard to short-term financing (short-term treasury notes), the weighted average maturity of the financial debts a as at 31 December 2022 is 4.7 years. The available liquidity after deduction of the short-term commercial paper stood at €667 million on 31 December 2022.
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.
In the course of 2022, Aedifica has contracted floating-rate bank loans denominated in pound sterling and swapped them to fixed rate, providing a natural hedge against its exposure to assets in the United Kingdom.
Moreover, in 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;
- 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.

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 some derivatives initiated before 2017 that meet the criteria to allow hedge accounting. From 2017, in line with market practice, Aedifica chose not to apply hedge accounting to derivatives, even if they meet those strict criteria. The change in the fair value of the financial derivatives has no impact on EPRA Earnings, the main KPI for dividend distribution, and therefore the application of hedge accounting has limited added value. 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)
| 31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in fair of the derivatives | ||
| Beginning of the year | -11,514 | -20,856 |
| Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of hedging instruments (accrued interests) | 17,972 | 4,273 |
| Transfer to the income statement of interests paid on hedging instruments | 3,258 | 3,641 |
| Transfer to the reserve account regarding revoked designation | 38 | 224 |
| Transfer to the reserve account of the net gain or loss on matured hedges | -180 | 1,204 |
| AT YEAR-END | 9,574 | -11,514 |
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 2023 and 31 July 2043.
The year-end equity value includes the effective part (as defined in IFRS 9) of the change in fair value (+€21,229 k) of the financial instruments corresponding to the derivatives for which hedge accounting may be applied, and the ineffective portion of the 2021 financial year (loss of €31 k) that was appropriated in 2022 by decision of the Annual General Meeting held in May 2022. These financial instruments are ‘level 2’ derivatives (according to IFRS 13p81). The ineffective part (according to IAS 39) amounts to €34 k as of 31 December 2022.
1.3 Derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied
The financial result includes an income of €124,962 k (31 December 2021: an income of €17,011 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 €711 k (31 December 2021: a loss of €1,332 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 €258 k (31 December 2021: €815 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 2022 and 31 December 2022. This resulted in an income of €124,286 k, recognised in the income statement, and to an income of €21,940 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 €466 k (€951 k on 31 December 2021). 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 €4,468 k (€3,670 k on 31 December 2021) on the income statement. A decrease of 10 bps in the interest rate would have a negative impact of €4,493 k on the income statement (€3,635 k on 31 December 2021).
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 2022, Aedifica had no hedging contracts in place.
During the financial year, cash flows linked to Aedifica’s external debt denominated in pound steling have partially offset net cash flows resulting from financial income from intra-group loans, other intra- group revenues and capital expenditures in the United Kingdom.

Note 36: Financial risk management
Aedifica’s financial policy aims to ensure permanent access to financing, monitor the debt-to-assets-ratio and monitor and minimise the interest rate and exchange rate risks. However, the Group remains subject to financing risks; a change in interest rates or exchange rates could have a negative impact on the Group’s assets, operations, financial position and prospects.

However, the Group remains subject to financing risks; a change in interest rates or exchange rates could have a negative impact on the Group’s assets, operations, financial position and prospects.
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 2022, it amounts to 41.6% at the statutory level and to 43.6% 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 €13.9 million as of 31 December 2022. As of 31 December 2022, the Group did not mortgage or pledge any Belgian, Dutch, British or Irish buildings 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 2022, the ratio between the secured financial debt and the assets was 4%. It is possible that in the context of supplementary financing, additional mortgages will be granted.
2. Liquidity risk
Aedifica has a strong and stable relationship with its financial institutions, which form a diversified pool consisting of an annually increasing number of European institutions. Details of Aedifica’s credit facilities are disclosed in Note 32. As of 31 December 2022, the Group has drawn €2,457 million (31 December 2021: €1,811 million) from the total amount of €3,387 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 2023 financial year. The 2023 financial plan includes payments in the context of the committed pipeline of development projects amounting to approx. €250 million and limited assumptions regarding new investments on top of the committed pipeline. These assumptions mainly concern development projects in Finland, where the target remains to invest an annual volume of approx. €100 million. These additional Finnish projects will have no impact on the projected revenue for 2023. 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 2022, medium-term notes amount to €87 million (31 December 2021: €87 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%. The interest cover ratio* (ICR), calculated based on the definition set out in the prospectus of Aedifica’s Sustainability Bond (‘Operating result before result on the portfolio’ (lines I to XV of the consolidated income statement) divided by ‘Net interest charges’ (line XXI)), should be at least equal to 2.0x. As of 31 December 2022, the ratio is 7.5x (31 December 2021: 7.0x). 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 2022, the undiscounted future cash flows related to the credit facilities include €423 million maturing within 1 year, €1,103 million maturing within 1 to 5 years, and €931 million maturing in more than 5 years. The credit facilities also give rise to an interest expense of €24 million that is due within 1 year (31 December 2021: €319 million capital and €16 million interest due within 1 year). The undiscounted contractual future cash flows related to hedging instruments are analysed as follows:
As at 31/12/2022 (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 | -682 | -3,453 | -3,602 | -7,737 |
| Derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied | -8,301 | -36,957 | -7,930 | -53,187 |

| Derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied | -3,824 | -10,382 | -9,577 | -23,783 |
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. The USPP and the benchmark bond issue have rebalanced Aedifica’s mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The floating rate bank loans denominated in pound sterling issued in July 2022 have been fully swapped to fixed rate. On 31 December 2022, the financial debt is hedged against interest rate risk for 78.2%, i.e. the ratio of the sum of the fixed rate debt and the notional amount of derivatives divided by the total financial debt.### 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. The USPP and the benchmark bond issue have rebalanced Aedifica’s mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The floating rate bank loans denominated in pound sterling issued in July 2022 have been fully swapped to fixed rate. On 31 December 2022, the financial debt is hedged against interest rate risk for 78.2%, 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. In the second half of 2022 and early 2023, Aedifica contracted additional interest rate swaps to strengthen the hedge ratio, which increased to 88.7% on 2 January 2023.
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. 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 2023 interest rates over the forecast rates would lead to an approx. additional €32.8 million interest expense for the year ending 31 December 2023. Taking into account the hedging instruments at present, the increase in interest expense would amount to just €4.1 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 £/€ exchange rate has an impact of approx. €99.4 million on the fair value of the Group’s investment properties located in the United Kingdom, approx. €5.7 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €2.8 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. €0.4 million on the Group’s annual rental income and approx. €0.2 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). In addition, £160 million of bank loans were drawn in July 2022. These bank loans, together with the aforementioned bond, form 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 £/€ 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.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.

Note 44: Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)
For many years, Aedifica has been using Alternative Performance Measures in its financial communications based on ESMA (European Securities and Market Authority) guidelines published on 5 October 2015. Some of these APMs are recommended by the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) while others have been defined by the industry or by Aedifica; the aim is to provide readers with a better understanding of the Company’s results and performance. The APMs 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 APMs, nor are those which are not based on the consolidated income statement or the balance sheet. The APMs are defined, annotated and connected with the most relevant line, total or subtotal of the financial statements.# Note 44: Non-IFRS Measures and Key Performance Indicators
The definition of the APMs, as applied to Aedifica’s financial statements, may differ from those used in the financial statements of other companies.

Note 44.8: 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 Group supplies its investors with most of the information recommended by EPRA (see also the ‘Reporting according to EPRA standards’ chapter of this Annual Financial Report on pages 208-221).
The following indicators are considered APMs and are calculated in the aforementioned EPRA chapter:
- EPRA Earnings represents the profit (attributable to owners of the Parent) after corrections recommended by the EPRA. 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.
- 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. - 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. - EPRA Cost Ratio (including direct vacancy costs) and EPRA Cost Ratio (excluding direct vacancy costs) represent aggregate operational costs as recommended by the EPRA. - EPRA LTV* represents the percentage of debt compared to the appraised value of the properties.

2. Abridged Statutory Financial Statements
The Abridged Statutory Financial Statements of Aedifica NV/SA, prepared under IFRS, are summarised below in accordance with Article 3:17 of Belgian Companies and Associations Code. The unabridged Statutory Financial Statements of Aedifica NV/SA, its Management Report and its Auditors’ Report will be registered at the National Bank of Belgium within the legal deadlines. These documents will also be available for free on the Company’s website (www.aedifica.eu) or on request at the Company’s headquarters.
The statutory auditor released an unqualified opinion on the Statutory Financial Statements of Aedifica NV/SA. The mandatory distribution in the REIT legislation only relates to the adjusted net result as shown in the REIT’s statutory annual accounts (prepared in accordance with IFRS). The FSMA circular of 2 July 2020 allows various accounting options to recognise subisdiaries in the statutory accounts. Currently, Aedifica has opted for the ‘at cost’ model to account for its subsidiaries. This means that dividends are recognised in the statutory financial statements when the REIT’s right to receive them is established (IAS 27.12). This implies that the dividends received are then included in the REIT’s net income for the year and, consequently, in the distribution obligation.

3.1 Valuation experts’ report
Aedifica assigned to each of the eleven valuation experts the task of determining the fair value (from which the investment value is derived) 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’. Each of the eleven valuation experts has confirmed that:
- they acted individually as valuation expert and have a relevant and recognised qualification, as well as an ongoing experience for the location and the type of buildings they assessed;
- their opinion of fair value was primarily derived using comparable recent market transactions on arm’s length terms;
- the relevant properties were considered in the context of current leases and of all rights and obligations that these commitments entail;
- they evaluated each entity individually;
- that their assessment:
- does not take into account a potential value that can be generated by offering the whole portfolio on the market;
- does not take into account selling costs applicable to a specific transaction, such as brokerage fees or advertising;
- is 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); and
- is made under the assumption that no non-communicated piece of information is likely to affect the value of the property;
- they assumed the information provided to them to be accurate and complete.
Based on the eleven assessments, the consolidated fair value of the portfolio amounted to €5,657,899,418 as of 31 December 2022 including 100% of the fair value of the assets held by the partners of the partnership AK JV NL or €5,633,399,418 after deduction of the 50% share in the partnership AK JV NL held by the other partner company. The marketable investment properties held by Aedifica group amounted to €5,449,104,295 (excluding 50% of the value of the assets held by the other partner company in AK JV NL). Contractual rents amounted to €300,452,979 which corresponds to an initial rental yield of 5.51% compared to the fair value of marketable investment properties. The current occupancy rate amounts to 99.6%.

- they acted individually as valuation expert and have a relevant and recognised qualification, as well as an ongoing experience for the location and the type of buildings they assessed;
- their opinion of fair value was primarily derived using comparable recent market transactions on arm’s length terms;
- the relevant properties were considered in the context of current leases and of all rights and obligations that these commitments entail;
- they evaluated each entity individually;
- that their assessment:
- does not take into account a potential value that can be generated by offering the whole portfolio on the market;
- does not take into account selling costs applicable to a specific transaction, such as brokerage fees or advertising;
- is 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); and
- is made under the assumption that no non-communicated piece of information is likely to affect the value of the property;
- they assumed the information provided to them to be accurate and complete.
Based on the eleven assessments, the consolidated fair value of the portfolio amounted to €5,657,899,418 as of 31 December 2022 including 100% of the fair value of the assets held by the partners of the partnership AK JV NL or €5,633,399,418 after deduction of the 50% share in the partnership AK JV NL held by the other partner company. The marketable investment properties held by Aedifica group amounted to €5,449,104,295 (excluding 50% of the value of the assets held by the other partner company in AK JV NL). Contractual rents amounted to €300,452,979 which corresponds to an initial rental yield of 5.51% compared to the fair value of marketable investment properties. The current occupancy rate amounts to 99.6%.Assuming that the marketable investment properties are 100% rented and that the current vacancy is let at market rent, contractual rent would amount to €301,705,554, 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 31/12/2022 (0.88617 £/€ and 11.17069 SEK/€) into account. As of 31 December 2022:
- the consolidated fair value of the assets located in Belgium amounted to €1,302,937,979; including €1,299,390,133 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to €70,880,099 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 Germany amounted to €1,232,197,000; including €1,197,566,136 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to €61,102,908 which corresponds to an initial yield of 5.1% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
- the consolidated fair value of the assets located in the Netherlands amounted to €679,440,000 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 €640,102,400. Contractual rents amounted to €36,042,777 which corresponds to an initial yield of 5.6% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
- the consolidated fair value of the assets located in the United Kingdom amounted to £880,931,000; including £850,496,613 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to £54,347,359 which corresponds to an initial yield of 6.4% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
- the consolidated fair value of the assets located in Finland amounted to €1,016,577,500; including €984,800,000 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to €51,778,693 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 Sweden amounted to SEK 882,600,000; including SEK 858,800,000 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to SEK 43,187,062 which corresponds to an initial yield of 5.0% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
- the consolidated fair value of the assets located in Ireland amounted to €348,670,000; including €289,126,332 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to €15,379,119 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 Spain amounted to €4,980,000; including €1,500,000 for marketable investment properties. Contractual rents amounted to €75,000 which corresponds to an initial yield of 5.0% to the fair value of the marketable investment properties.
In the context of a reporting in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, our evaluations reflect the fair value. 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.

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 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.
- 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, Ireland and Spain 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.

2 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 (93%) 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 other 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.
- Regarding the correct application of hedge accounting, we have evaluated the effectiveness tests performed by the external specialist involved by the Group and we have compared the volume of derivatives subject to hedge accounting with the volume of the variable rate debts projected on the future accounting years in order to identify any potential over-hedging which could potentially jeopardize the application of hedge accounting.
- Finally, we have assessed the appropriateness of the information on the financial instruments disclosed in note 33 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impairment test on goodwill of Hoivatilat
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 annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. Management's assessment of potential impairments on this recorded goodwill is based on a comparison of the carrying value of the cash- generating units ("CGUs") to which goodwill has been allocated with the fair value less costs to sell of the CGUs.The assessment is an estimation process that requires estimates and judgments by management of the assumptions used, including the determination of Hoivatilat's future cash flows as well as the determination of the discount rate and indexation rate used, which are complex and subjective. Changes in these assumptions could lead to material changes in the estimated fair value less cost to sell, which has a potential impact on potential impairments to be recorded at the level of goodwill and are therefore considered as a Key Audit Matter. Aedifica recognized a goodwill impairment of €18,1 million in 2022.
Summary of the procedures performed
* We have obtained an understanding of the process for management's identification of impairment indicators;
* We have assessed the valuation methods used by management to determine the fair value less cost to sell of Hoivatilat as well as the reasonableness of the key assumptions (discount rate, indexation rate and future cash flows) (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
* We 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 assessed 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.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA’s will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
In performing our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework that applies to the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Belgium. However, a statutory audit does not provide assurance about the future viability of the Company and the Group, nor about the efficiency or effectiveness with which the board of directors has taken or will undertake the Company's and the Group’s business operations.
Our responsibilities with regards to the going concern assumption used by the board of directors are described below.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA’s, we exercise professional judgment and we maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:
* identification and assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, the planning and execution of audit procedures to respond to these risks and obtain audit evidence which is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting material misstatements resulting from fraud is higher than when such misstatements result from errors, since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
* obtaining insight in the system of internal controls that are relevant for the audit and with the objective to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control;
* evaluating the selected and applied accounting policies, and evaluating the reasonability of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors as well as the underlying information given by the Board of Directors;
* conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going-concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether or not a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s or Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going- concern;
* evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and evaluating whether the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events.
We communicate with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant

* 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 3 April 2023 on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aedifica SA as of and for the year ended 31 December 2022 (continued)
- obtaining insight in the system of internal controls that are relevant for the audit and with the objective to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control;
- evaluating the selected and applied accounting policies, and evaluating the reasonability of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors as well as the underlying information given by the Board of Directors;
- conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going-concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether or not a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s or Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going- concern;
- evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and evaluating whether the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events.
We communicate with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the audits of the subsidiaries. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities. We provide the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee within the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report, unless the law or regulations prohibit this.

- 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.

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.

4.3.3 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 amount of the accumulated dividend to be deducted in its special report and the financial conditions of the transaction are explained in its annual financial report.
- 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.# 4.3.4 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 28 July 2022, 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) 20% of the amount of the capital on the date of the extraordinary general meeting of 28 July 2022, 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 28 July 2022, 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 two years, calculated from the publication of the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 July 2022, in the annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette.
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.

4.4 RREC
4.4.1 General definition
Aedifica is a limited liability Company (‘NV/SA’) having opted for a public Regulated Real Estate Company (RREC) status. A Regulated Real Estate Company (RREC) is:
- 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 (Belgian Law of 12 May 2014 and Belgian 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:
- (a) to make immovable property available to users, directly or through a company in which it holds a participation in accordance with the provisions of the RREC Legislation; and
- (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

* (ii) utilities for transport, distribution, storage or purification of water 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).
4.4.2 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.
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 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, is distributed in the form of dividends. 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 restructurctions, 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) |
| As from 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 and amended by Article 20 of the Act of 27 December 2021, 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 exclusively or primarily invested in care and housing units suited for healthcare. Following Brexit, a transition regime has been provided for UK assets acquired prior to 1 January 2021 so that they can be included in the calculation of the 80% threshold until the end of the 2025 financial year. Therefore, if legislation does not change in the meantime, Aedifica estimates that its shareholders will be able to continue to benefit from the reduced withholding tax of 15% until the 2025 financial year (inclusive).
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.
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%.

8.1 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 (NN)
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 establishes standards of conduct in accounting, reporting and corporate governance matters, and harmonises these rules to different countries in order to provide quality and comparable information to investors. EPRA has created indices that serve as benchmarks for the real estate sector. All this information is available on the website www.epra.com.

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. 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 market 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 4.4.2 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) / investment value, acquisition value or fair value of the concerned buildings. Investment value is used as a denominator to determine the gross yield of a development project. Acquisition value is used for acquired assets and fair value for existing assets.
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.
Inside information
Inside information about Aedifica is any information:
- of a precise nature, i.e. indicates a set of circumstances which exists or which may reasonably be expected to come into existence, or an event which has occurred or which may reasonably be expected to occur, where it is specific enough to enable a conclusion to be drawn as to the possible effect of that set of circumstances or event on the prices of the financial instruments or the related derivative financial instruments of Aedifica;
- which has not been made public;
- relating, directly or indirectly, to Aedifica; and
- which, if it were made public, would be likely to have a significant effect on the price of the financial instruments or related derivative financial instruments of Aedifica, i.e. information a reasonable investor would be likely to use as part of the basis of his or her investment decisions.

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)
- 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
Reversion rate
The ratio is determined as follows:
(contractual rents + estimated rental value on empty spaces) / Estimated rental value of the total portfolio.
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. Note that, following the interpretations of IFRS by the Belgian Asset Managers Association (BEAMA), the book value of 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 location of the property.
Triple net (NNN)
Type of contract under which operating charges, maintenance costs and rents on empty spaces related to operations are borne by the operator.
Velocity
Total volume of shares exchanged over the year divided by the total number of listed shares, following the definition of Euronext.

- 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. Note that, following the interpretations of IFRS by the Belgian Asset Managers Association (BEAMA), the book value of 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 location of the property.
