PERSS RELEASE

1. Summary of activity since 01.07.2021

For more than 35 years, Cofinimmo has been developing, managing and investing in rental real estate. Attentive to societal changes, Cofinimmo's permanent objective is to offer high-quality care, living and working spaces ('Caring, Living and Working - Together in Real Estate'). Capitalising on its expertise, Cofinimmo consolidates its leadership in European healthcare real estate.

The pandemic that the world has been experiencing for more than one year and a half now has highlighted the importance of the healthcare sector for each and every one of us. Through its investments, Cofinimmo is actively participating in the operation, maintenance, expansion and renewal of the healthcare property portfolio in nine countries.

During the 3rd quarter of 2021, Cofinimmo made several investments (for 125 million EUR, bringing the total over nine months to 823 million EUR) in various healthcare real estate sub-segments in Europe including, for the first time, in the United Kingdom. Thanks to these operations, healthcare real estate assets (3.6 billion EUR) account for almost 65% of the group's consolidated portfolio as at 30.09.2021 (for the relevant threshold in terms of reduced withholding tax, see section 11.2 below), which reaches 5.6 billion EUR. In addition, after 30.09.2021, the group announced 53 million EUR in new investments. Ongoing development projects represent a financial envelope of 607 million EUR to be achieved by 2024.

In the office segment, Cofinimmo is also executing its strategy which consists in rebalancing its office portfolio between the various sub-segments to the benefit of high-quality buildings located in the Central Business District of Brussels (CBD). The contribution project of its office portfolio into a subsidiary announced on 03.02.2021 proceeds as expected; the completion of the contribution is planned on 29.10.2021.

Cofinimmo constantly evaluates its assets portfolio based on the key points of its strategy and the available market opportunities. The group announces the partial disposal of part of its Cofinimur I property of distribution networks portfolio in France for more than 40 million EUR.

As part of the ESG policy adopted by the group for more than 10 years now, and which remains a priority, the group's extensive efforts have been rewarded again during the third quarter of 2021. The group received the final BREEAM Excellent certification for the nursing and care home under construction in Oleiros (Spain) and for the Quartz office building. The group also improved its MSCI rating from A to AA (on a scale going from CCC to AAA) and its GRESB Real Estate Assessment rating from 67% to 70%, the sector average being 65%. A new EPRA Gold Award Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations has also been awarded to the group for the eighth consecutive year.

In terms of financing, several operations carried out in the financial year enabled to further improve the balance sheet structure. Cofinimmo carried out a capital increase of 217 million EUR on 30.09.2021 (following the conversion in capital of 99% of convertible bonds), bringing the total of capital increases over nine months to 565 million EUR. As at 30.09.2021, Cofinimmo had 872 million EUR of headroom of its credit lines after deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme.

The group's momentum in terms of investments and financing (average cost of debt down at 1.0%), coupled with effective management of the existing portfolio (occupancy rate of 98.1%, gross rental revenues up 0.8% on a like-for-like basis, operating margin at 83.1%), enabled the company to realise a net result from core activities - group share of 161 million EUR as at 30.09.2021, in line with the outlook1 (compared to the 138 million EUR that were made as at 30.09.2020, i.e. a 17% increase), mainly due to the investments made. The net result from core activities per share - group share amounts to 5.56 EUR (in line with the outlook, compared to 5.24 EUR as at 30.09.2020, i.e. a 6% increase), taking into account the issue of shares in 2020

1 i.e. the quarterly outlook derived from the annual outlook presented in section 1.8.3 of the press release dated 28.07.2021.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 27.10.2021, 17:40 CET

and 2021. The average number of shares entitled to share in the result of the period thus increased from 26,298,121 to 28,980,690 between these two dates.

The net result - group share amounted to 169 million EUR (i.e. 5.82 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2021, compared to 99 million EUR (i.e. 3.76 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2020. This variation is mainly due to the increase in the net result from core activities - group share and to the changes in fair value of hedging instruments between 30.09.2020 and 30.09.2021, this element being a non-cash item.

With a debt-to-assets ratio of 44.5% as at 30.09.2021, Cofinimmo's consolidated balance sheet (whose BBB/A-2 rating was confirmed in March 2021) shows a strong solvency (information on risks and uncertainties related to the coronavirus COVID-19 are stated in section 14).

Taking into account the current status of investment files, the investments planned for 2021, as detailed on section 1.8.1 of press release dated 28.07.2021, have been marginally adapted. The new gross investment estimate is therefore established to date at 970 million EUR (compared to 930 million EUR before), subject to the main risks and uncertainties stated below (see section 14).

Based on the information currently available and the investment assumptions detailed above, and barring major unforeseen events, Cofinimmo still expects to achieve a net result from core activities - group share higher than 7.00 EUR per share for the 2021 financial year, up compared to that of the 2020 financial year (6.85 EUR per share). The gross dividend outlook for the 2021 financial year, payable in 2022, can therefore be confirmed at 6.00 EUR per share. This outlook is provided subject to the main risks and uncertainties stated below (see section 14).

The double net1 lease contract concluded has a fixed term of nearly 12 years. The rent will be indexed annually and the gross rental yield is in line with current market conditions.

Main accomplishments:

- Acquisition of a building on a healthcare campus in Beugen

On 15.07.2021, Cofinimmo acquired a medical office building on the healthcare campus Maasziekenhuis Pantein, located in the municipality Boxmeer (Dutch province of North Brabant), for approximately 12 million EUR. The building is already let.

The medical office building is located in Beugen, 20 km south of Nijmegen, and is part of the Boxmeer healthcare campus, which also houses the Maasziekenhuis general hospital, the Boxmeer general practitioner outpost and a large car park. The campus therefore offers both general hospital care and academic and specialist care.

Built in 2011, the building has a surface area of approximately 4,250 m² and has an A energy label. It is located in a green area and is easily accessible both by public transport (bus stop at 100 m) and by car (near major access roads).

The building houses the offices of the hospital's management and staff as well as some acute care departments (e.g. orthopaedics, rehabilitation).

A double net1 lease with a residual lease length of 10 years was concluded with 'Stichting Pantein', which has been using the building for 10 years already. The rents will be indexed annually according to the Dutch consumer price index. The gross rental yield amounts to approximately 6%.

- Provisional acceptance of a nursing and care home in The Hague

The renovation work on the nursing and care home Rivierenbuurt in The Hague was completed in mid-July. The lease will take effect on 01.08.2021. As a reminder, Cofinimmo acquired this nursing and care home in May 2020 for a complete renovation. This work resulted in a modern and sustainable nursing and care home of almost 5,400 m² with 87 beds. The renovation was designed with a long-term vision so that the rooms can be adapted to more severe treatments and patients/residents can continue to live there regardless of their care needs. Stichting Haagse Wijk-en Woonzorg (HWW zorg) rents the entire building under a 15-year double net1 lease. The rent will be indexed to the Dutch consumer price index.

These will eventually represent a cumulative investment of almost 327 million EUR for approximately 5,160 beds. During the first nine months of 2021 (and mainly during the first half-year), Cofinimmo invested 149 million EUR in investment properties and in the implementation of development projects and 46 million EUR in finance lease receivables (relating to 7 nursing and care homes for a total of 935 beds).

Main accomplishments:

- Acquisition of a new nursing and care home in Bilbao (Basque Country)

On 15.07.2021, Cofinimmo acquired a newly built nursing and care home in the Basque Country. The total investment amounts to approximately 9 million EUR. The nursing and care home is let to the ORPEA group, which is one of the main operators in Spain.

The new nursing and care home is located in Bilbao, capital of the province of Biscay and the largest city of the autonomous community of the Basque Country. With a population of over one million inhabitants, the Bilbao metropolitan area is one of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in Northern Spain.

The building is located in a residential area at 500 metres from the Etxebarria park, one of the largest green areas of Bilbao, located on one of the hillsides surrounding the city. There are shops, two schools and a clinic in the neighbourhood. It is easily accessible by car, bus and subway, thanks to the proximity of Bilbao's main roads and numerous public transport links (several bus stops and metro stations).

The building has a surface area of around 5,000 m² and offers 104 beds, spread over a ground floor and five storeys. The building is equipped with the latest techniques (e.g. heating and cooling production system consisting of two centralised condensing boilers and two centralised water-air heat pumps). It has a level-B energy performance certificate.

Cofinimmo acquired the above-mentioned newly built nursing and care home through a subsidiary. The construction of the building has just been finalised and its delivery took place at the same time as the acquisition.

The double net1 lease signed with the ORPEA group has a term of 15 years. The rent will be indexed according to the Spanish consumer price index and the gross rental yield is in line with current market conditions.

- Construction of a nursing and care home in Alicante (Valencia)

On 07.09.2021, Cofinimmo acquired a plot of land in the autonomous community of Valencia. The site will see the construction of a new nursing and care home. The investment budget for both the plot of land and the works amounts to approximately 13 million EUR. The site is pre-let to Solimar, part of Vivalto Group.

The new nursing and care home will be built in Alicante. This city of over 300,000 inhabitants is located in the south-east of Spain and is the second largest city of the autonomous community of Valencia.

The building will have a total surface area of approximately 7,300 m² and will offer 150 beds. It will be located in an urban area not so far from the city centre, and will be easily accessible thanks to several bus lines, one of which leads directly to a large park nearby.

With this project, Cofinimmo aims for an A-level energy performance and a BREEAM Excellent certificate. To this end, high-quality materials, presenting a long lifecycle, will be used for the construction of the premises. In addition, remotely readable meters for water and energy as well as a water leak detection system have been foreseen to prevent energy and water wastage. Particular attention will also be paid to the analysis and exhaustive removal of any construction leftovers and waste to avoid any potential pollution of the environment.

As a result, the new nursing and care home will not only be integrated in its current environment, it will also improve it thanks to its sustainable approach and the added value of the healthcare services it will provide to the local population.

Cofinimmo has acquired this plot of land through a subsidiary. The amounts corresponding to the construction works will be paid depending on the percentage of completion of the works.

Works are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2021, with delivery of the nursing and care home scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.

A triple-net2 lease with a term of 25 years has been signed with the operator Solimar. The rent will be indexed according to the Spanish consumer price index. The gross rental yield is in line with current market conditions.

The amounts to be paid in 2021 for this investment are not included in the investment estimate for 2021, as published in section 1.8.1 of the press release dated 28.07.2021.

Main accomplishments:

- Acquisition of three nursing and care homes in the east and south-east of England

On 26.07.2021, Cofinimmo acquired, through subsidiaries, three recent nursing and care homes in the United Kingdom for approximately 57 million GBP (66 million EUR). The nursing and care homes are situated in East and South-East England and count approximately 200 beds in total.

The UK has one of the largest care home landscapes in Europe, but the sector remains highly fragmented1 . 78% of care home beds are in properties not originally built with care use in mind or are more than 20 years old. Purpose-built homes that are less than 20 years old account for just 22% of all care home supply.

Population over 85 is set to increase by 27.5% to 2030, with an estimated 460,000 more people of this age in the decade. This is seven times the growth rate of the overall UK population and 16 times faster than the working age population.

Based on current rates of occupation, the rise in dementia, and the high levels of co-morbidity amongst older people, the UK would require a further 10,000 additional care home beds per annum to 2030 to keep up with demand. Not only is there a need for a higher quantity of care home beds, but quality issues of the current stock need to be addressed urgently.

The need for investment in the British nursing and care home sector is high. Cofinimmo's entry in Britain underscores its active participation in the expansion and renewal of the property portfolio dedicated to healthcare in Europe.

The portfolio consists of 3 very recent nursing and care homes of prime quality, in the East and South-East of England, all situated in a range of max. 100 km north of London. Together, they represent 196 beds and a total surface area of approximately 9,500 m². The sites are fully leased to Country Court Care Group Limited.

Ferrars Hall was purpose built in June 2016 to a high standard and comprises 66 bedrooms. It is arranged over three floors, offering residential and specialist dementia care. Located in the heart of the town of Huntingdon, near Cambridge, it is wellintegrated in the local community.

Lakeview Lodge is a 66 bedroom purpose built care home constructed in March 2017 to a very high standard. Arranged over three floors, the home provides personalised, family-led care. Lakeview Lodge lies to the south of the city of Milton Keynes in a residential neighbourhood with schools, community facilities and shops. It overlooks a lake.

Oakview Lodge was purpose built in January 2018 to a high standard. It comprises a 64 bedroom nursing home integrated in a residential area. Arranged over three floors, the home provides nursing, residential and dementia care. It is located in Welwyn Garden City, approx. 35 km from central London.

During the third quarter, Cofinimmo reinforced its financial resources and its balance sheet structure. The financing operations during this third quarter enabled the group to increase bank financing, to maintain its average cost of debt to very low levels. The various operations carried out are stated hereunder.

7.1.1. Maturity of convertible bonds and capital increase

The convertible bonds matured on 15.09.2021. At the end of the conversion period for the convertible bonds, Cofinimmo has received new conversion requests from holders of convertible bonds with respect to 1,483,774 of convertible bonds out of 1,502,087 outstanding convertible bonds (i.e. 99%), resulting in 1,657,750 (5.5% of the previously outstanding shares) newly issued shares in Cofinimmo to be delivered to the relevant holders of convertible bonds. These newly issued shares in Cofinimmo will be issued on 30.09.2021 and their book value amounted to approximately 217million EUR

7.1.2. Overall evolution of the financing operation

  • 28.09.2021: Conclusion of a new bilateral credit line of 100 million EUR for two and a half year;
  • 30.09.2021: Conclusion of a new bilateral credit line of 50 million EUR for five years;
  • - 19.10.2021: Anticipated refinancing of a credit line of 30 million EUR maturing in March 2022 to bring its maturity to 2025.

PERSS RELEASE

7.1.3. Interest rate hedging

The third quarter enabled Cofinimmo to continue the increase of its hedging over a period of five years. Following the investments made in the United Kingdom, one IRS was subscribed for 20 million GBP (2021- 2026).

In September, Cofinimmo also subscribed a new cap for 300 million EUR for 2021. In October, two new caps were subscribed for 200 million EUR hedging the years 2021-2023 and also for 200 million EUR hedging the years 2021-2024.

7.2. Availabilities

On 30.09.2021, availabilities on committed credit lines reached 1,654 million EUR. After deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme, Cofinimmo had at that date 872 million EUR of available lines to finance its activity.

7.3. Consolidated debt-to-assets ratio

On 30.09.2021, Cofinimmo met the debt-to-assets ratio test. Its regulatory debt-to-assets ratio (calculated in accordance with the regulations on RRECs as: financial and other debts / total assets) reached 44.5% (compared to 46.1% as at 31.12.2020). As a reminder, the maximum debt-to-assets ratio for RRECs is 65%.

When the loan agreements granted to Cofinimmo refer to a debt covenant, they refer to the regulatory debtto-assets ratio and cap it at 60%.

7.4. Weighted average maturity of financial debts

The weighted average maturity of the financial debts went from five to four years between 31.12.2020 and 30.09.2021. This calculation excludes short-term commercial paper maturities, which are fully covered by tranches available on long-term credit lines.

Committed long-term loans (bank credit lines, bonds, commercial paper with a term of more than one year and term loans), for which the total outstanding amount was 3,408 million EUR as at 30.09.2021, will mature on a staggered basis until 2031.

Schedule of long-term financial commitments as at 30.09.2021 (x 1,000,000 EUR)

PERSS RELEASE

7.5. Average cost of debt and hedging of the interest rate

The average cost of debt, including bank margins, was 1.0% for the first three quarters of the 2021 financial year, slightly down compared to that of the 2020 financial year (1.3%). It is also slightly lower to that of the first half-year of 2021 (1.1%) partially due to the reversal in the third quarter of the accrued interests on the convertible bonds that were converted into capital on 30.09.2021.

Cofinimmo opts for the partial hedging of its floating-rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps (IRS) and caps. Cofinimmo conducts a policy aimed at securing the interest rates for a proportion of 50% to 100% of the expected debt over a minimum horizon of three years. In this context, the group uses a global approach (macro hedging). It therefore does not individually hedge each of the floating-rate credit lines.

To date, the breakdown of expected fixed-rate debt, hedged floating-rate debt and unhedged floating-rate debt was presented as shown in the graph below.

As at 30.09.2021, the anticipated market interest rate risk was hedged at 87%. Until the end of 2022, the interest rate risk is hedge at more than 92%; the interest rate risk between 2023 and the end of 2025 is hedged at approximately 80%. Cofinimmo's result nevertheless remains sensitive to fluctuations in market interest rates.

7.6. Financial rating

Since 2001, Cofinimmo has been granted a long-term and short-term financial rating from the Standard & Poor's rating agency. On 18.03.2021, Standard & Poor's confirmed the company's BBB rating for the long term (stable outlook) and A-2 for the short term. The group's liquidity has been rated adequate.

Comments on the consolidated income statement – Analytical form

Rents (gross rental income) amount to 222 million EUR, compared to 191 million EUR as at 30.09.2020, up 16.4%, thanks to the acquisitions made between these two dates. On a like-for-like basis*, gross rental income increased by 0.8% between 30.09.2020 and 30.09.2021 (see section 6.5). Rental income (after gratuities, concessions and termination indemnities – see details on the calculation of alternative performance indicators) amounts to 217 million EUR, compared to 186 million EUR as at 30.09.2020, up 16.4% compared to 2020. After taking writedowns on receivables into account, rental income, net of rental charges amounts to 217 million EUR, compared to 184 million EUR as at 30.09.2020, up 17.7%, in line with the outlook1 announced last July.

As for the direct operating costs, the variations between 30.09.2020 and 30.09.2021 are in line with the outlook. The variation in corporate management costs over the same period is also in line with the outlook. As a reminder, in application of IFRIC 21, taxes for which the generating effect has already occurred are recognised at January 1st for the entire year. This is notably the case for withholding taxes, regional taxes and municipal taxes on office space. The operating margin, adjusted following the effect of the application of IFRIC 21, is established at 83.1%.

Financial income is up at 3 million EUR between 31.09.2020 and 31.09.2021. Last year's figure included nonrecurring items for one million EUR, whereas the 2021 financial income includes non-recurring items for less than 2 million EUR booked in the 1st half-year, and linked to the contributions in kind of 08.04.2021. Net interest charges (19 million EUR) increased by 1 million EUR. This increase was tempered by the reversal in the third quarter of the accrued interests on the convertible bonds that were converted into capital on 30.09.2021. The average cost of debt decreased to 1.0%, compared with 1.3% as at 30.09.2020. It is also slightly lower than that of the first half-year of 2021 (1.1%), partially due to the above-mentioned reversal. The financial result is in line with the outlook.

The share in the result on net result from core activities of associates and joint ventures amounts to 2 million EUR (in line with the outlook), mainly due to the investment made by Cofinimmo at the end of 2020 in SCI Foncière CRF, created by the French Red Cross.

Taxes increased and are in line with the outlook.

The group's momentum in terms of investments and financing, coupled with effective management of the existing portfolio, enabled the company to realise a net result from core activities - group share of 161 million EUR as at 30.09.2021, in line with the outlook (compared with the 138 million EUR that were made at 30.09.2020, i.e. a 17% increase), mainly thanks to the investments made. The net result from core activities per share - group share amounts to 5.56 EUR (in line with the outlook, compared to 5.24 EUR as at 30.09.2020, i.e. a 6% increase), taking into account the issue of shares in 2020 and 2021. The average number of shares entitled to the result of the period evolved from 26,298,121 to 28,980,690 between these two dates.

PERSS RELEASE

As for the result of financial instruments, the item 'Change in the fair value of financial instruments' amounts to 23 million EUR as at 30.09.2021, compared to -21 million EUR as at 30.09.2020. This variation is explained by the change in the anticipated interest rate curve between these two periods.

As for the result on the portfolio, the gains or losses on disposals of investment properties and other nonfinancial assets is 2 million EUR as at 30.09.2021 (compared to 3 million EUR as at 30.09.2020). The item 'Changes in the fair value of investment properties' is positive as at 30.09.2021 (1 million EUR). This amount mainly comprises the effect of changes in the scope (mainly the difference between the price paid, including transfer taxes, and the fair value determined by the independent real estate valuers, excluding transfer taxes, on the acquisitions made in the period). Without the initial effect from the changes in the scope, the changes in the fair value of investment properties is positive and reaches +0.5% over the first nine months of 2021. The item 'Other result on the portfolio' is -18 million EUR as at 30.09.2021 and mainly comprises the effect of changes in the scope.

The net result - group share amounts to 169 million EUR (i.e. 5.82 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2021, compared to 99 million EUR (i.e. 3.76 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2020. This fluctuation is mainly due to the increase in the net result from core activities - group share and to the changes in fair value of hedging instruments between 30.09.2020 and 30.09.2021, these two elements being non-cash items.

11.2. Portfolio mix and outlook regarding the withholding tax

The outlook regarding the withholding tax is stated on page 91 of the 2020 universal registration document, published on 09.04.2021. The 60% threshold, which is relevant in terms of reduced withholding tax, is currently not achieved; the estimated percentage as at 30.09.2021 is approximately 58%. As a reminder, the 60% threshold is to be assessed by calculating the average, over the financial year, of the percentages updated at the end of each quarter, with a view to distributing the dividend relating to that financial year which will take place during the following financial year.

In the meantime, it has recently appeared in the press that the Belgian government would consider a legislative amendment to increase the relevant threshold in terms of reduced withholding tax to 80%, as part of the budget agreement for 2022. The company is not yet aware of the text and will examine it as soon as it is available. However, Cofinimmo specifies that, on the basis of current assumptions, the 60% threshold will probably not be reached as a quarterly average over the 2021 financial year and that, as a consequence, the 2021 dividend, payable in 2022, should still be subject to a withholding tax of 30%.

11.3. Net results from core activities and dividend per share

Based on the information currently available and the assumptions detailed above, and barring major unforeseen events, Cofinimmo still expects to achieve a net result from core activities - group share higher than 7.00 EUR per share for the 2021 financial year, up compared to that of the 2020 financial year (6.85 EUR per share), taking into account the prorata temporis dilutive effects of the capital increases carried out in 2020 and 2021 which led to a denominator of 29,655,016. Based on the same data and assumptions, the debt-to-assets ratio would be around 44% as at 31.12.2021. The gross dividend outlook for the 2021 financial year, payable in 2022, can therefore be confirmed at 6.00 EUR per share (i.e. a consolidated pay-out ratio of

approximately 85%). This outlook is provided subject to the main risks and uncertainties stated below (see section 14).

12. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

12.1. References, notations and certifications

  • On 15.07.2021, Cofinimmo received the final BREEAM Excellent certification for the nursing and care home under construction in Oleiros (Spain);
  • On 16.09.2021, MSCI announced that Cofinimmo's rating had improved, going from A to AA on a scale going from CCC to AAA. The previous rating (A) had been granted in 2016;
  • On 22.09.2021, Cofinimmo was granted, for the eighth consecutive year, an EPRA Gold Award Best Practices Recommendations for its 2020 financial report and an EPRA Gold Award Sustainability Best Practices for its 2020 ESG report;
  • On 23.09.2021, Cofinimmo received the final BREEAM Excellent certification for the Quartz office building, notably thanks to the triple-glazed windows, a high-performance heating and ventilation system, an ultraefficient lighting concept with light detection and a fully flexible building management system. To date, eight sites have a Good to Excellent BREEAM or HEQ certification and two sites have a Good to Very Good BREEAM In Use certification. A rotation policy is applied for BREEAM or BREEAM-equivalent certification favouring the certification of buildings not certified in the past, which goes beyond a simple extension of the certifications already obtained. The number of buildings that have thus obtained BREEAM or BREEAMequivalent certification at one time or another amounts to 30;
  • On 01.10.2021, Cofinimmo's GRESB Real Estate Assessment rating went from 67% to 70%, compared to the sector average which amounts to 65%.

12.2. Initiatives adopted in response to coronavirus COVID-19

14. Main risks and uncertainties

In the current context of fear of a '4th wave' of COVID-19 contaminations, the board of directors believes that the main risk factors summarised on pages 2 to 6 of the 2020 universal registration document, published on 09.04.2021, are still relevant for the 2021 financial year.

In addition, the independent real estate valuers' report mentions an explanatory note on the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) which only takes into account a 'material valuation uncertainty' (as defined by the 'Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors' – 'RICS' – standards and in accordance with the 'Valuation Practice Alert' of 02.04.2020 published by the RICS) for some segments whose aggregate value accounts for less than 2% of the consolidated portfolio: (vs. 23% as at 31.12.2020, 11% as at 31.03.2021 and less than 2% as at 30.06.2021).
