About Globalworth:

Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited is a real estate investment company founded by real estate investor and developer Ioannis Papalekas currently focused on taking advantage of investment opportunities in Romania. The Company's shares were admitted to trading on AIM in July 2013.

The Romanian market offers an attractive real estate investment proposition in the medium-to-long term. Globalworth believes that global investor capital flows will gradually move from markets considered as "safe havens" to more peripheral markets such as Romania in search of higher yielding investments. As a result, Romania should, in due course, become a more attractive destination for a wide investor audience. Globalworth anticipates holding an early mover advantage in and benefitting from this gradual shift in investor sentiment.

Update on Investments in Real Estate

Globalworth's real estate portfolio comprises 14 properties. Bucharest is our primary market of focus with 13 properties. We also own one logistics park in Timisoara, one of Romania's principal peripheral industrial hubs.

Our portfolio comprises high quality real estate assets positioned in prime locations within their respective sub-markets in Romania. We primarily focus in managing and developing or repositioning office properties (c.80% of appraised value as of 30 Jun. '15).

In 2015-YTD, we completed the acquisition of the three assets announced by Globalworth in Q4-14. All acquisitions were closed within their respective agreed timelines, with UniCredit HQ and Nusco Tower acquired on 31 March 2015 and Green Court Building "A" acquired on 30 June 2015. The total investment cost for the three properties was c.€130 million.

In addition, in May 2015, we delivered Phase I of the TAP/Continental investment, which involved the development of a c.44,800 sqm warehouse in our TAP complex in Timisoara. Subsequently, in August 2015, we expanded the complex by a further c.9,100sqm following the completion of a new light-production facility, let principally to Elster.

With the acquisition of UniCredit HQ and the delivery of the TAP (Continental) investment, we have now concluded all of the major investments presented in our April 2014 Equity Capital Raise.

Standing Properties

Our standing portfolio comprises 9 properties, valued at €639.5 million (as at 30 Jun. '15). In Bucharest we own 7 standing office properties and a residential complex, while in Timisoara we own a logistics park.

Our standing portfolio has increased by c.111,400 sqm since the beginning of the year, following the acquisitions of UniCredit HQ, Nusco Tower, Green Court Building "A" and the delivery of two new light-industrial facilities in the TAP complex, (pre-)let to Continental and Elster. The total GLA of our standing portfolio reached c.335,883 sqm in Sept. '15.

Like-for-like third party valuation of our standing portfolio did not materially change over the first six months of 2015, although the overall value of our standing properties increased by c.€179.5 million as a result of the new additions.

All our properties are modern, have been completed or refurbished since 2008, with c.76% of our GLA and c.69%3 of our standing portfolio value,  having been delivered in the past 5 ½  years.

The number of "Green" properties in our portfolio has increased with the addition of the UniCredit HQ and Green Court Building "A", which are certified with BREEAM Very Good and LEED Gold certifications. In addition, we are targeting similar certifications of properties within our portfolio, which we hope to receive in the next 12 months.

BOC:	·      BREEAM In-use / Excellent certification

In addition to our commercial portfolio, we currently own 442 apartments at "Upground Towers", a modern two-tower residential complex offering a total of 571 apartments benefiting from fine views of the nearby Tei lake. The property is ideally situated in the New CBD, in close proximity to our commercial portfolio located in the area, thus allowing us to leverage its use and provide a complete package to many of our international tenants looking for turnkey solutions when relocating operations.

Since Q2-15, underpinned by the gradual improvement in the residential investment market, we actively marketed residential units in Upground Towers and as a result sold five apartments between May and September at an average price per unit of €148,000. In addition, we currently have 199 apartments leased, generating €1.5 million of rental income per annum.

Developments

In 2015 year-to-date we delivered Continental's Phase-I light-industrial space and Elster's light-production facility, part of our TAP complex in Timisoara and made further progress with the construction of our three office projects in Bucharest.

Timisoara

In May 2015, we delivered a c.44,800 sqm light industrial space which was (pre-)let to Continental Automotive, the leading German automotive manufacturing company. The Continental space was developed within our TAP complex in Timisoara. The complex was further expanded in Q3-15, following completion of the construction of a c.9,100 sqm production facility, which is let principally to Elster. The Elster Group (part of Honeywell) is a leading provider of gas, electricity and water meters and related communications, networking and software solutions globally.

The TAP complex currently offers a total of c.81,349 sqm of GLA and upon the exercise of the expansion options currently available to Valeo and Continental, these may increase the complex to a total GLA of c.123,400 sqm, making it one of the largest light industrial and logistics parks in the country.

Bucharest

The construction of the structure of Bucharest One has reached the 23rd floor and the facade has been completed up to the 20th floor (September 4, 2015). Mechanical and electrical works also under way and the construction of the project is expected to be completed in Q4-15, in line with the estimated timeline. The property has been pre-certified with the Green Certification of LEED Platinum.

For Globalworth Campus, the concept design has been finalised and the demolition works and site preparation have been completed. Following a tender process, the Company selected Bog'Art as the general contractor for the construction of Phase I. Construction is expected to reach the ground floor in October 2015.

The development of the Gara Herastrau project is in progress, with excavation works and piling now completed and the tower has reached the 4th floor. The property is adjacent to Green Court Building "A", around 200 metres from Nusco Tower and Bucharest One, and is expected to be completed in Q1-16. We will seek to achieve Green certifications similar to those of other assets in the existing portfolio, for both Globalworth Campus and Gara Herastrau.

All three of our Bucharest developments are located in the new CBD area, the fastest growing office hub in the country, which is attracting a significant number of multinational tenants.

The appraised value of the Development Projects was €150.7 million ("As Is" valuation). On completion, these projects are expected to deliver c.200,271 sqm of new office and light-industrial space, with an appraised value of €391.6 million ("Completion" valuation) as at 30 June 2015.

Leasing Update

Most of our standing commercial properties benefit from high occupancy rates, with 7 of them having occupancy over 85%. Like-for-like occupancy increased by c.5.6% compared to YE 2014.

Overall occupancy was further enhanced with the addition of two fully occupied properties UniCredit HQ and Green Court "A", as well as the TAP expansion (Continental and Elster) and the Nusco Tower whose current occupancy is c.96.0% and c.91.1% respectively, which results in an average occupancy for our standing portfolio of c.88.1%.

Occupancy at the recently fully refurbished City Offices, the only standing property with occupancy lower than 85%, increased to c.21.0% following lease extension signed by Vodafone in Q3-15 (initial lease signed in Q1-15). In addition, we are in active discussions with a number of tenants for the take-up of new space in the property. The overall average occupancy of our commercial standing properties, excluding City Offices, is 97.9%.

The majority of our tenants are multinational corporate groups and financial institutions which sign long, triple net leases, in line with our overall strategy. The WALL remaining on the commercial lease contracts in the overall portfolio is c.7.0 years.

Investment Pipeline

In September 2015, we have signed MoU's for the potential acquisition of a portfolio of c.30 assets (completed and land plots) and the potential acquisition of two standing properties with total GLA of c.35,000sqm, all located in Romania. The real estate portfolio is anchor tenanted by a large multinational corporate and is expected to contribute c.€3.0 million per annum of additional rental income, while the two standing properties are expected to add an additional c.€6.5 million per annum. The total investment cost for both transactions is estimated at c.€120 million. The Company is currently undertaking the necessary due diligence on these assets.

Debt Financing Update

The Company incurred c. €194 million of additional debt since the beginning of the year to fund its acquisitions and ongoing development program, which constitutes a strong vote of confidence from the local and international financing community on the quality of the Company's portfolio and its future prospects.  Despite such additional indebtedness, the Company's LTV remains at the moderate level of c.49% (based on 30 Jun. '15 valuations).

A short outline of the financing transactions that have taken place during 2015 are as follows:

•              Conclusion of a €55 million short-term holding Company level secured debt facility in March 2015 provided by subsidiaries of funds managed by Oak Hill Advisors, L.P. and certain of its advisory affiliates and York Capital Management Global Advisors, LLC, through York Global Finance Offshore BDH (Luxembourg) S.à r.l.

•              In June 2015 the Company concluded an addendum to the above mentioned facility for an additional €45 million funding and extended the maturity of the entire €100 million facility to July 2016.

•              In March 2015, together with the finalization of the Nusco Tower and Unicredit building acquisitions, we have taken over financing facilities of c. €52.5 million in total from UniCredit HQ, with maturities ranging from two years and a half to seven years.

•              In June 2015 extension of two existing facilities granted by Bancpost S.A. of c.€8 million and conclusion of a new 7 year, c. €9 million loan facility arranged by a subsidiary of National Bank of Greece against the TAP property.

•              In July 2015 conclusion of a long-term €27 million facility provided by Banca Comerciala Romana (part of Erste Group) against the Green Court A property

•              In August 2015 conclusion of a c. €5.5 million facility provided by Libra Bank against the Luterana and Herastrau One land plots

Corporate Update

Globalworth has determined that it is no longer appropriate to maintain its registration as a closed-ended collective investment scheme with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and has applied to the Guernsey Financial Services Commission to deregister.
