Insider Information: Kojamo has agreed to acquire a housing portfolio and issued
special rights entitling to shares

Kojamo plc, its wholly owned subsidiary Lumo Kodit Oy and Varma Mutual Pension
Insurance Company have entered into an agreement under which Lumo Kodit will
acquire a Finnish housing portfolio owned by Varma. The portfolio consists of 60
residential properties that have combined 4,761 apartments. The properties are
located mainly in the capital region. In total, 98 per cent of the property
portfolio is located in the attractive Helsinki, Tampere and Turku metropolitan
areas.

The debt-free transaction price is approximately EUR 900 million, part of which
will be paid in cash and part in new shares to be issued by Kojamo in connection
with the closing of the transaction. The financing of the transaction is
described later in this release.

Kojamo estimates that the stabilised annual rental income of the housing
portfolio is EUR 63.0 million. Stabilised income will be achieved when the
occupancy rate of the housing portfolio increases from the current level (83 per
cent) to Kojamo's current occupancy rate. Kojamo expects to drive occupancy
improvement of the target portfolio by onboarding it to the Lumo brand and
lettings platform and applying its leading customer service capabilities. Kojamo
anticipates upside potential in the fair value of the portfolio as the occupancy
improves. The transaction value represents a stabilised net yield of
approximately 4.9 per cent. The transaction is expected to increase the
company's FFO per share.

The transaction enhances Kojamo's operational efficiency and improves EPRA Cost
Ratio. It demonstrates well the operational leverage that Kojamo as a platform
has.

“This transaction presents a unique opportunity for Kojamo to return to growth
by acquiring a portfolio of significant size and with a strong alignment with
our strategy. The properties are located in prime areas with a strong focus on
growth centres, and they are of high quality and in good condition. With this
transaction, we are pleased to deliver strong shareholder value through
accretion in FFO per share. We welcome Varma's conviction in Kojamo's leading
residential asset management platform capabilities and their increased ownership
in Kojamo as part of the transaction. We warmly welcome our new customers to
Lumo services,” CEO Reima Rytsölä states.

“We have reviewed our investment portfolio to determine efficient waysto invest
in the Finnish residential market after, also considering the upcoming pension
reform. This transaction provides a natural opportunity to do so through our
ownership in Kojamo. Varma will continue as a significant real estate and
residential investor in Finland with a strong partner. We are pleased that the
housing portfolio will continue to be managed by a stable and professional real
estate investor who can further develop its returns and performance,” says
Varma's Deputy CEO Markus Aho.

Financing of the transaction

Kojamo has issued 24,666,667 special rights to Varma pursuant to Chapter 10,
Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act based on the authorisation granted to the
Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting held on 13 March 2025. The
special rights entitle and obligate Varma to subscribe for, and the company to
issue, 24,666,667 new shares of the company upon the completion of the
transaction. The subscription price of the shares is EUR 11.8090 per share. The
subscription price corresponds to a premium of 23.04 per cent to the average
price of ten trading days preceding the signing. Varma will pay the total
subscription price of EUR 291,288,670.60 for the shares in full upon completion
of the transaction by transferring to Lumo Kodit a portion of the housing
portfolio corresponding to the total subscription price. The remaining portion
of the transaction price will be paid by Lumo Kodit in cash.

Kojamo has agreed a senior unsecured acquisition financing facility of EUR
600,000,000 with Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, Nordea Bank Abp and Skandinaviska
Enskilda Banken AB (publ). The acquisition facility will have a tenor of 12
months. The acquisition facility is expected to be taken out via capital market
debt financing.

The transaction is subject to the fulfilment of customary conditions for a real
estate transaction, including the approval by the competition authority. The
parties' objective is to finalise the transaction by 1 April 2026.
