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 15 investments with a total of 19 assets4. With the exception of the TAP logistics/light industrial investment in Timisoara (one of the largest logistics hubs in Romania), our investments are located in Romania's capital, Bucharest.

The Company's focus is on managing and developing high quality assets, primarily in the office sector (c. 80.4% of appraised value as of 31 Dec. '15). In addition, we own a light industrial park (our only investment outside of Bucharest), a residential complex and two land plots. The majority of Globalworth's real estate portfolio is situated in the capital's new Central Business District ("CBD"), with our remaining assets being positioned in other prime locations.

In 2015, we increased the number of standing properties in our portfolio by six, four in Bucharest and two in Timisoara, and further progressed with our three development projects located in Bucharest's new CBD. The Company invested a total of c.€243.1 million over the course of the year resulting in an increase in the value of its portfolio to c.€931.1 million (as of 31 Dec. '15), c.€331.8 million higher than in 2014.

We acquired four standing Class "A" office properties in Bucharest, including the three transactions announced in Q4-14, for a total of c.€173.3 million.

Our new office additions included:

·     the internationally-acclaimed UniCredit HQ in Bucharest, ranked 17th on the list of the 30 most architecturally impressive bank headquarters in the world in 2013

·     buildings "A" and "B" of the award-winning Green Court complex developed by Skanska in 2014/2015

·     Nusco Tower, a high-rise class "A" office property located at the entrance of the new CBD (opposite Globalworth Tower)

In May 2015 we delivered Phase I of the TAP/Continental investment, which involved the development of a c.44,800 sqm warehouse within our TAP complex in Timisoara. Subsequently, in August 2015, we expanded the complex by a further c.9,100 sqm following the completion of a new light production facility, let principally to Elster (part of Honeywell group). The complex will be further expanded with a fourth facility pre-let to Valeo, which is expected to be delivered within the next 18 months.

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

Standing Properties

Our standing portfolio comprises 12 assets, valued at €695.1 million (as of 31 Dec. '15). In Bucharest we own 8 office properties and a residential complex, while in Timisoara we own a light industrial park comprising three facilities.

Our standing portfolio increased by c.131,400 sqm in 2015 following the acquisitions of UniCredit HQ, Nusco Tower, Green Court Building "A", Green Court Building "B" 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.355,500sqm as of 31 Dec. '15.

Like-for-like third-party valuation of our standing portfolio did not materially change during 2015, although the overall value of our standing portfolio increased by a total of c.€235.1 million, mainly as a result of the new additions.

All our properties are modern and have been completed or refurbished since 2008. Approximately 77.7% of our GLA and c.71.9% of our standing portfolio value has been delivered within the past c.6 years. It is worth noting that four of the six new additions in our standing portfolio include properties delivered to market in the past c.1 ½ years and, following the delivery of our development projects (Globalworth Tower - completed in Q1-16, Gara Herastrau and Globalworth Campus Phase "A"), the proportion of modern office stock in our portfolio will further increase by the end of 2016.

The number of 'green' properties owned by the Company has also risen with the addition of the UniCredit HQ (BREEAM Very Good), Green Court Building "A" and City Offices (both rewarded LEED Gold in 2015) and Green Court Building "B" (rewarded LEED Gold in 2016). We are targeting similar certifications for other properties in the portfolio and hope to receive these in the next 12 months.

In addition to our commercial portfolio, we own 435 apartments at Upground Towers (31 Dec. '15), 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 and in close proximity to our commercial portfolio, 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.

In 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 14 apartments between May and December 2015 at an average price per unit of €129,400. In addition, we currently have 201 apartments leased, generating c.€1.5 million of annual rental income.

Developments

Continental's Phase-I light industrial space and Elster's light production facility, part of our TAP complex in Timisoara, were both delivered in 2015. Further progress was also made with the development of our three office projects, all located in the new CBD of Bucharest. One of these, our flagship Globalworth Tower high-rise development, was delivered at the beginning of 2016.

Timisoara

In May 2015, we delivered a c.44,800 sqm light industrial space, let to the leading German automotive manufacturing company Continental Automotive, at our TAP complex in Timisoara. The complex was further expanded in August 2015 following completion of the construction of a c.9,100 sqm production facility let principally to Elster, a subsidiary of Honeywell and a leading global provider of gas, electricity and water meters and related communications, networking and software solutions.

At the end of 2015, the TAP complex comprised a total of c.81,349 sqm of GLA. In February 2016, Valeo exercised its option to expand further in the park by adding a new c.13,500sqm facility . This will be the third time within a c.1½ year period that a tenant has decided to lease space in the park, demonstrating the appeal of TAP to high quality multinational tenants.

TAP has the potential for further development, reaching to a total GLA of c.123,400sqm as a result of the extensions  available to the existing tenants of the park.

Bucharest

Globalworth Tower, our flagship project located in the heart of Bucharest's the new CBD, was effectively completed in December 2015 in line with the estimated timeline and became fully operational in Q1 '16. The majority of the current tenants are scheduled to move into Globalworth Tower in Q2 and Q3 '16.

As of 31 Dec. '15, the property was c.51.0% pre-let to high quality national and international tenants including Vodafone (telecoms), Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (law), Huawei (telecoms), Delhaize / Mega Image (supermarket) and had a weighted average lease length of 10.9 years. In  Q1 '16, the occupancy rate increased to c.59.6%, mainly as a result of the take-up of an additional floor by Vodafone and of one floor taken-up by Globalworth (real estate). We are in active negotiations with a number of other tenants for the full occupancy of the property. Globalworth Tower has been pre-certified with the Green Certification of LEED Platinum.  Once obtained, Globaworth Tower will be the first building in Romania having received the highest available Green accreditation.

The development of the Gara Herastrau project is progressing well, with the structural frame now in place and the façade 100% complete (Q1-16). The property, which upon delivery is estimated to offer c.12,000sqm of GLA, lies adjacent to Green Court Building "A" and some 200 metres from Nusco Tower and Globalworth Tower. As of Q1-16, the Gara Herastrau development is c.50.6% pre-leased to ADP, the leading global provider of human capital management solutions. The development is expected to be completed in Q2-16.

Our Globalworth Campus project, which upon final completion will offer three Class "A" office towers and total GLA of 88,700sqm, is being developed in two phases. Phase "A" will comprise two side towers facing Dimitrie Pompeiu Street (main street) with a  total GLA of c.57,000sqm on completion, while Phase "B" will comprise one middle tower, which on completion will contribute additional GLA of c.31,800sqm.

Phase I is currently under development, with construction of Building "A" having reached the 12th floor (Q1-16) and the façade is currently being fitted out, while the necessary preparations, including excavations, site preparation etc. have been completed in Building "B". Delivery of the two towers is scheduled for Q3-16 and Q1-17 respectively.

We have adopted a number of environmentally friendly principles for the development of Gara Herastrau and Globalworth Campus and as such we will seek to achieve Green certifications similar to those of other assets in the existing portfolio for both investments.

The appraised value of the Development Projects stands at €217.8 million ("As Is" valuation 31 Dec. 15). On completion, the projects are expected to deliver c.197,400 sqm of new office and light industrial space, with an appraised value of €370.5 million ("Completion" valuation - 31 Dec. '15).

Land for Future Development

Globalworth owns land plots in two prime locations in Bucharest (Herastrau lake and the historical CBD) for future development. These plots represent further opportunities for office or mixed-use developments, which we intend to take advantage of in the future in order to further grow our real estate portfolio.

The total land size for future development in these two locations is c.9,767 sqm and had an appraised value of €18.2m at 31 December 2015.

Globalworth's value upon "Completion" - 31 Dec 2015

The appraised value upon Completion of Globalworth's real estate portfolio is expected to increase to €1,083.8 million, following the investment of the remaining estimated c.€131.3 million of Capex for the completion of our four development projects.

In 2015, we signed 18 leases for a total of c.28,250sqm of commercial space within our properties, which in addition to the acquisition / delivery of new properties either with high occupancy rates or fully let, resulted in a total average occupancy rate for our standing commercial portfolio of 85.1% (as of 31 Dec.

The average duration for the majority of the commercial leases signed between 2015 and March 2016 was 8.1 years. In line with our strategy, these new leases were signed typically with multinational corporate groups and financial institutions on long-term, euro denominated, inflation linked, triple net leases.  

In our overall commercial portfolio we have achieved a diversified tenant mix comprising some 85 different national and multinational corporates from 17 different countries, including some of the most recognisable corporates in their respective industries.

Investment Pipeline

Globalworth has an active pipeline of exciting investment opportunities in Romania currently under review and we expect these, if acquired, to further enhance the growth prospects of the Company.

Equity & Debt Financing Update

In order to fund its acquisitions and ongoing development program, Globalworth successfully accessed the debt and equity capital markets in 2015, raising a total of €268.3 million of additional funds. This marks a strong vote of confidence in the quality of the Company's portfolio and its future prospects from both local and international equity and debt investors. 

In March '15, we put in place a c.€55.0 million corporate  facility, which in June '15 was subsequently increased by c.€45.0 million. During the course of 2015 we also negotiated the roll-over or raised new debt of c.€114.5 million in total, mainly from BCR (Erste Group) and UniCredit. In September '15, Globalworth announced its intention to raise a minimum of €35.0 million of equity capital from the public markets. The offering was oversubscribed by existing and new shareholders by €18.8 million, resulting in the Company successfully raising a total of c.€53.8 million of new equity capital (October 2015).

In March '16, we successfully refinanced our TAP light industrial park in Timisoara, with a new €25.0 million facility from BCR.

Despite the additional indebtedness incurred during the year, the Company has managed to maintain the overall LTV at the moderate level of 44.3% (based on 31 Dec '15 valuation adjusted for the refinancing of the existing debt of the TAP property in March 2016) (30 June 2015 LTV: 44.9%).
