For immediate release
IREIT Global (“ IREIT ”), a Europe-focused real estate investment trust managed by IREIT Global Group Pte. Ltd. (the “ Manager ”), is pleased to announce a significant financial milestone in its listing history with the successful launch and pricing of its S$85 million 6.00% green notes due 2028. This inaugural bond issuance under IREIT’s US$1 billion Multicurrency Debt Issuance Programme established in May 2022 was met with significant investor demand, reflecting the strong confidence in IREIT's prospects and the transformative project at Berlin Campus called "Project RE:O".
Project RE:O encapsulates the strategic repositioning of Berlin Campus from a single-let office building into a vibrant, sustainable, and multi-functional destination. The net proceeds from the green notes have been earmarked to fund the initial, transformative stage of Project RE:O. A key focus of this phase is the establishment of a premier hospitality hub, which involves converting a significant portion of Berlin Campus to house two major international operators. The UK's largest hotel chain, Premier Inn, will operate a 270-room hotel under a 20-year lease, while Stayery, a modern long-stay concept, will feature 255 guest rooms, also under a 20-year lease.
The transformation into a mixed-use asset with office, retail, and hospitality components is set to diversify IREIT's tenant base and income streams, enhancing the resilience and long-term attractiveness of its portfolio. Construction for this first phase of repositioning works, backed

by the recently obtained building permit, is poised to commence in the second quarter of 2025, with completion anticipated in early 2027.
It is noteworthy that Project RE:O is also committed to sustainability, targeting a minimum Leadership in Energy Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for the upgraded property. This is well aligned with the Eligible Green Project under IREIT's Green Financing Framework and IREIT’s dedication towards responsible investment and creating assets that are both environmentally sound and economically attractive.
Mr Peter Viens, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said, "This successful and well supported debut green bond issuance is a powerful endorsement of our strategy. The enthusiastic response from investors provides a clear vote of confidence. The proceeds from the bond issuance will kickstart the exciting first phase for Berlin Campus, creating a dynamic hospitality core and a welcoming new face for the property. Beyond this immediate project, this bond issuance is also a significant first step ahead in our broader financial strategy aimed at reducing the encumbrance of assets across our portfolio and diversifying our funding sources, including deepening our partnerships within the Singapore financial community."
The notes issuance, which is managed by DBS Bank Ltd. as sole global coordinator, joint bookrunner and sole green structuring advisor, as well as CIMB Bank Berhad, Singapore Branch, as joint bookrunner, is part of IREIT's strategic move towards greater collaboration with Singapore financial institutions.
