1 The identified investment volume consists of the invested amount in the course of 2021 and the first half of 2022 and ongoing projects in execution. 2 Including the land bank, the net initial yield amounts to 5.1%.

1. The EPRA earnings of Montea amount to €32.5 million for the first half of 2022, an increase of 3% compared to the same period of 2021 (€31.4 million). In the first quarter of 2021, however, a one-off payment was included for which Montea waived its pre-emptive right to a possible sale of a plot of land with buildings in Tilburg. Without taking into account the one-off payment received in 2021, the EPRA earnings grow by 10% compared to the same period in 2021.

2. The EPRA earnings per share for H1 2022 amount to €2.00 per share, comparable to the EPRA earnings per share for H1 2021 (€1.96 per share). Without taking into account the one-off payment received in 2021, the EPRA earnings per share increase by 9% compared to the first 6 months of 2021.

3. Since the beginning of 2021, Montea has an identified3 investment volume of €491 million, with €399 million already invested and €93 million in execution. Montea is thus continuing the momentum of 2021 and is ahead of schedule for implementing the planned investment volume of €800 million over the period from 2021 to 2024 inclusive. Montea expects to have identified already €600 million of investments by the end of 2022, two years after the start of Track'24. The current investment volume of €491 million consists of a mix of:

  • standing investments; acquired in 2021 & H1 2022 + acquisitions to be closed after H1 2022 (ca. 60%)
  • development and extension projects; completed & under construction at the end of Q2 2022 (ca. 25%)
  • land positions; acquired in 2021 & H1 2022 (ca. 15%)

This at an average net initial yield of 5.4%, excluding land bank4

  • 4,8% standing investments
  • 6,7% development and extension projects

4. An additional portfolio volume of €348 million was invested in the course of the first half of 2022. This increase consists of a realised investment volume of €225 million, as well as latent capital gains on recently delivered projects and revaluations of the existing portfolio for a total amount of €123 million. The revaluations of the existing portfolio are mainly driven by a further downward yield shift of 12 bps as well as an increase in estimated market rents by 8.0%. The fair value of the property portfolio including developments and solar panels increases to €2,046 million thereby exceeding the €2 billion mark, an increase of 21% compared to the end of 2021 (€1,698 million).

5. This additional portfolio volume is being realised partly thanks to the new transactions that fit perfectly into the Track'24 growth plan through which Montea wants to continue its growth story:

  • Acquisition of building let to Transuniverse Forwarding NV in Ghent (BE)
  • Acquisition of building let to Barsan Group in Tilburg (NL)
  • Acquisition of two buildings let to PostNL in Zwolle and 's Hertogenbosch (NL)
  • Acquisition of two new-build projects let to GVT Transport & Logistics in Alkmaar and Berkel & Rodenrijs (NL)
  • Acquisition of two buildings in Zeewolde and Almere (NL)

In addition, the following projects were delivered during the first half of 2022: the distribution centre in Waddinxveen (NL), let for 10 years to HBM Machines B.V. and the cleantech recycling and distribution centre in Tiel (NL), let for 20 years to Re-Match.

6. Montea successfully completed a new US Private Placement during the second quarter of 2022 by issuing €380 million in Green unsecured notes. The notes are divided into four tranches with terms of 8 and 10 years. This is the

3 The identified investment volume consists of the invested amount in the course of 2021 and the first half of 2022 and ongoing projects in execution. 4 Including the land bank, the net initial yield amounts to 5.1%.

largest financing operation in Montea's history. As a result of this transaction, about 50% of the outstanding financing has been issued under the Green Finance Framework and is used to (re)finance sustainable projects with a clear environmental and social benefit. At the end of Q2 2022, the average cost of debt is 1.8%; the average remaining maturity of debt is 6.5 years; the hedge ratio is 88% and the remaining average maturity of hedging instruments is 8.0 years.

7. With a debt ratio of 43.1% on 30 June 2022, Montea's consolidated balance sheet evidences a strong solvency. In addition, the portfolio KPIs remained very firm in 2022. The occupancy rate of 99.9%, a remaining term of the leases until first maturity of 7.3 years (excluding solar panels), as well as the continued focus on strategic top locations with an inflation-resistant cash flow profile, all constituting a valuable asset.

8. Important positive insights were gained in the field of ESG, not only in terms of the energy efficiency of new developments through new energy studies, but also in terms of insights of Montea employees based on a human capital scan. Additionally, existing policies were refined and new policies drafted, such as the Supplier Code of Conduct and Community Engagement Policy. Also, the first Green Finance Allocation and Impact report was published on the website.

See annex 2.
  • 8) EPRA earnings: this is the net result (after incorporation of the operating result before the portfolio result, less the financial results and corporation tax, excluding deferred taxes), minus the changes in fair value of investment properties and properties held for sale, minus the result on sale of investment properties and plus the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities. See also annex 1.

Montea expects to identify €600 million of investments by the end of 2022, two years after the start of Track'24. These investments will consist of a mix of acquisitions of land positions and leased warehouses, development and extension projects, and investments in solar panels.

During the first half of 2022, a total acquisition volume of approximately €178 million has been realised. All acquisitions were acquired at an investment value below or in line with the value determined by the independent property expert.

The acquisition in Zwolle concerns a site of 6 hectares with a footprint of approximately 29,000 m². The property in 's Hertogenbosch is a 5-hectare site with a footprint of approximately 24,000 m². Both buildings are strategically located at the entrance of the city and are therefore extremely suitable for e-commerce. Moreover, the presence of considerable outdoor space offers the possibility to extend. Both buildings were purchased on 31/01/2022.

Acquisition of building from Barsan, Tilburg (NL) 8

In the first quarter of 2022, Montea and a private investor reached an agreement on the acquisition of a logistics building in Tilburg currently leased by Barsan Group. The building has a surface area of 6,000 m² on a 2-hectare site. The site offers the possibility to extend the building in the future. The purchase was closed on 31/01/2022.

Acquisition of building from GVT, Alkmaar & Berkel and Rodenrijs (NL) 9

In the first quarter of 2022 Montea reached agreement on three new development projects in the Netherlands that GVT Transport & Logistics will lease for a period of 10 years. Two new development projects were delivered during the first half of 2022: in the first quarter the site located in Alkmaar, and in the second quarter the site located in Berkel & Rodenrijs. Both sites are ideally suited for fine-meshed distribution. The site in Echt will be delivered and acquired during the third quarter of 2022 (cf. 1.2.1.2).

Acquisition of development site, Lembeek (BE)

Acquisition of building from Transuniverse, Ghent (BE)

In the course of the first quarter of 2022, Montea concluded an agreement with Transuniverse Forwarding NV on the acquisition of a strategically located building in Ghent.

The buildings are leased to Transuniverse Forwarding NV, which offers transport solutions tailored to the needs of its customers, and to Oxfam Fair Trade CV, which promotes fair world trade.

The location of the building along the R4 in Ghent makes the site of strategic importance in the long term, for example for future last-mile deliveries to Ghent.

Sale and lease back transactions, Catharijne & Zeewolde (NL)10

In 2013, Montea already acquired a first distribution centre of ca. 24,700 m² in Almere. In the course of the second quarter Montea strengthened its portfolio by concluding two sale and lease back transactions in Almere and Zeewolde. The sites are ideally located with direct access to the A6 (Amsterdam - North Netherlands) and A27 (Breda - Almere) motorways. The total ground surface of these sites is ca. 61,600 m² with ca. 37,650 m² logistics space and ca. 4,600 m² office space and mezzanine. A lease agreement has been signed for a fixed period of 10 years for both sites.

Acquisition of an industrial site, Zwijndrecht (NL) 12

In the beginning of the third quarter, Montea acquired a strategically located site in Zwijndrecht from LCN Capital Partners. This concerns a plot of land of ca. 64,000 m² with a warehouse production facility of ca. 25,700 m² plus outside storage.

Structural cooperation with Cordeel, Tongeren (BE)21

At the end of 2021, Montea entered into a new structural cooperation with the Cordeel construction group and its real estate division C-living (hereinafter referred to as the "Cordeel Group"). Montea has invested in ongoing development projects of the Cordeel Group in Tongeren, Vilvoorde and Zele. Together with Montea, they will give the various sites, with a total site area of about 420,000 m², a new future.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Montea acquired, in a first phase, two sites of about 180,000 m² in Tongeren. On the first site, a first pre-let (XPO Logistics) building of 20,000 m² was already developed in 2021 and the development of a second building of 20,000 m² was started:

Development phase 1 – second building on the 1st site (20,000m²):

  • o Purchase of land: Q4 2021
  • o Surface area: ca. 44,000 m²
  • o Surface of the distribution centre: ca. 20,000 m²
  • o Start of construction: Q4 2021
  • o Expected completion: Q4 2022
  • o Estimated investment budget for site + development: ca. € 24 million

21 See press release of 04/01/2022 or www.montea.com for more information.

With its generally flat roofs, logistics real estate is an ideal building form for installing solar panels. At the end of the second quarter in 2022, Montea's PV portfolio consisted of 39 solar panel installations spread across Belgium and the Netherlands.

Projects completed during the first half of 202222

During the first half of 2022, a new PV installation was put into operation in Belgium for a total investment cost of ca. €1.1 million. With this new facility, the PV installations in Belgium generate ca. 29,500 MWh, which is the equivalent of the energy consumption of ca. 8,400 households.

Project expected to be completed after the first half of 202223

In the Netherlands, 61% of the portfolio of warehouses has already been equipped with solar panels. Montea aims to increase this percentage to 75% and foresees an investment budget of approximately €9 million for that purpose. Delays are expected due to capacity problems of the electricity network in the Netherlands.

Next to the Netherlands and Belgium, the installation of solar panels in France started in the fourth quarter of 2021. An investment budget of ca. €4.0 million has been budgeted for that purpose.

22 Included in the investment volume on 30/06/2022.

23 Included in the investment volume 'in execution' on 30/06/2022.

Montea closes the first half of 2022 with a land bank of ca. 2,000,000 m², a land bank that will enable it to continue to achieve its ambitions in the years ahead. During the first half of 2022, Montea managed to purchase ca. 79,000 m² of land that it already had under control (cf. 1.2.1.1). This concerns a development site in Lembeek (Belgium) of ca. 55,000 m² and three extension sites in Tilburg, Zwolle and 's Hertogenbosch of ca. 24,000 m² in the Netherlands. In addition, in the course of the first half of 2022, a development was started in Tongeren (BE), on a surface of land of ca. 44,000 m² (cfr. 1.2.2.2).

Occupancy rate of 99.9%

On 30 June 2022, the occupancy rate amounts to 99.9%, an increase of 0.2% compared to the year-end 2021 (99.7%). The increase is mainly due to the letting of vacant units in Bornem (BE) and Aalst (BE). Of the 9% of lease contracts that expire in 2022, 85% have already been extended or renewed.

The very limited vacancy is located in Le Mesnil-Amelot (FR), previously let to Mondial air Fret.

No divestments took place in the first half of 2022.

Quality entrepreneurship and growth, with respect for the broad environment in which we operate, has always been part of Montea's DNA. Whereas 2020 was the year in which we first converted this DNA into a clear vision and sustainability strategy, 2021 was the year in which we received recognition for those efforts, with, among other things, a GRESB score that more than doubled and an EPRA sBPR Silver Award. It was also the year in which we fine-tuned our sustainability strategy based on new insights gained in the areas of Environment, Team (Social) and Governance.

In 2022 and following years, the actions set out in our roadmap25 will be further executed.

Sustainability plan 2030/2050

Montea developed its sustainability vision for the future through a strategic plan for 2030/2050, that sets out the medium (2030) and long-term (2050) sustainability vision. In this way, Montea strengths its ambitions to take up a leadership position on the sustainability front.

In essence, Montea's total greenhouse gas emissions consist of three components:

  • Montea operations (own operations)
  • New developments
  • Existing portfolio

24 See press release of 15/04/2022 or www.montea.com for more information.

25 See ESG report 2021 (pagie22).

Montea operations

Montea's journey towards a CO2 neutral operation continues with the installation of additional charging infrastructure for electric cars at its own offices and the replacement of the old lighting with energy-efficient LED lighting with daylight and movement control.

Sustainability is very much alive among the Monteaneers, which is why they set up the Montea Sustainability team in 2022. In this forum, initiatives are set up that relate to how sustainability can be integrated into the behaviour and feeling in the offices and during day-to-day work. Some of the initiatives already executed include the introduction of recycled paper as standard printing paper, banning non-reusable bottles and replacing them with a water tap installation, in combination with a Montea-branded water bottle for every employee, whereby the purchase of such a bottle finances the collection of 11.4 kg of plastic (equivalent to 1,000 plastic bottles) by "ocean bottle". The forum meets at regular intervals and considers further initiatives.

The focus remains on the objective of the Sustainability Plan 2030/2050:

EMBARGO TOT 19/08/2021 – 18u00 Press release interim statement – Regulated information Embargo until 19/08/2022 – 07:00 a.m. 20 / 66

New developments

Montea also formulated ambitions in the field of CO2 emissions for new developments, with two components: energy efficiency and embodied carbon.

1. Energy efficiency in new developments

In order to reduce both energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions from tenants in the future, energy efficiency targets were set for new development projects.

Target year Energy efficiency
new developments
(kWh/m2)
Reduction
2021 75 0%
2022 50 33%
2030 25 67%
2040 25 67%
2050 25 67%

In the meantime, Montea has had in-depth energy studies carried out on its building concepts. These show that for new developments an energy efficiency of 25 kWh/(m². year) is certainly feasible. Together with the measures contained in our Blue Label26 specifications, Montea will be able to achieve its 2030 target of a maximum energy efficiency for its new developments as early as 2023. This would thus correspond to an energy saving of 3,450 MWh or a decrease in emissions of 641.7 tCO2e per year (equivalent to the yearly CO2 sequestration of 41 ha of trees).

For the new building in Tongeren, in addition to the solar panels that are customary for Montea, an energy storage system with a 300-kWh battery will be installed. This will help to improve the own consumption of locally generated green electricity from the solar panels but will also contribute to the much-needed measures for stability services for the Belgian electricity network.

2. Embodied carbon in new development projects

In addition, Montea also aims to substantially reduce the embodied carbon released by the construction of new assets (sites/buildings).

As 76% of the embodied carbon of a building is determined by product choices, it therefore goes without saying that Montea is constantly looking for innovative, sustainable products (e.g., low-CO2 concrete) and construction methods. In addition, diesel is avoided on the construction sites, materials are transported by ship, if possible, instead of by truck and cement water is recovered and treated on the site. In the area of lowcarbon building, the challenge remains to find suitable suppliers and partners to take big steps forward.

Here too, the focus remains on the objective of the 2030/2050 sustainability plan:

26 Montea Blue Label is a sustainable construction guide for new developments.

Existing portfolio

In order to achieve the targets for the buildings in our existing portfolio, several improvement programmes are ongoing:

  • Replacing existing lighting with energy-efficient LED lighting
  • Installing PV systems to supply our buildings with renewable energy
  • Replacing existing gas heaters or older heat pumps by modern energy-efficient heat pumps that can heat on green electricity
  • Renovating roofs by increasing roof insulation to reduce heat loss
  • Installing charging stations for electric vehicles
  • Refinement of energy monitoring to better understand energy consumption

In France, for example, the roofs of the buildings in Saint Priest, Saint-Martin-de-Crau and Marennes (which together cover some 47,500 m²) were thoroughly renovated. There, the thickness of the roof insulation was doubled, which will not only result in lower consumption for heating, but above all in a reduction of emissions of approx. 36 tCO2e/year (equivalent to the yearly CO2 sequestration of 2.3 ha of trees). Also, energy audits were ordered for all sites in France to identify further improvements.

Next to that, for example, in Belgium and the Netherlands, old heating systems were replaced by heat pumps at 4 sites, and lighting was changed to LED lights at 6 sites. This reduces both energy costs and emissions at these sites. In addition, 56 charging points for electric vehicles were installed.

Bearing in mind the 2030/2050 sustainability plan target in terms of greenhouse gas emissions for the existing portfolio:

In accordance with its Green Finance Framework, Montea must report on the progess and, where possible, the impact of sustainable projects (as defined in the Green Finance Framework) for which a green financing instrument was used. On 26 April 2022, Montea published its first "Green Finance Allocation and Impact report" regarding the €235 million in green bonds that were issued in 2021 under the Green Finance Framework through a US private placement. The proceeds of this private placement were used exclusively to refinance sustainable projects, such as sustainable buildings and renewable energy. This enabled us to achieve greenhouse gas emission savings of 20,379 tCO2e/year (equivalent to the yearly CO2 sequestration of 1,306 ha of trees). The impact and allocation of the €380 million issue in Green unsecured notes raised in the course of 2022 (see 1.3.5.2 infra in this press release) will be calculated similarly.

Montea wants to create value for its customers, shareholders and all other stakeholders. This is only possible through the unremitting efforts of our employees, the Monteaneers. They are at the heart of our organization. Respect, integrity and sustainability are in our DNA. For Montea it is crucial that employees feel valued and are given the space to develop their talents. To create an engaged team, Montea builds on the strengths of its people in all functional areas. Monteaneers are entrepreneurs, team players and fundamentally positive. Everyone at Montea is entitled to information, personal development and the right to express themselves.

The arrival of Steven Claes as its first Chief Human Resources Officer will enable Montea to provide further sustainable support to the strong team that has been built up in recent years. Attention will be paid to:

  • Attraction and retention by strengthening the recruitment/onboarding strategy and procedure linked to our corporate and sustainability culture. Attracting and retaining the right diverse talent is essential to realising Montea's growth strategy.
  • Development by creating and investing in a culture of learnability, developing critical capabilities by focusing on hard and soft skills to meet the challenges of the future. All of this complemented by resilience, business and performance coaching to both increase the quality of service to our customers and strengthen the economic and social performance of the business.
  • Health and engagement by rolling out an actionable wellbeing survey, rolling out a hybrid work model and fostering a work environment that inspires high levels of employee motivation and engagement that is aligned with intrinsic motivation.
  • Reward by encouraging (i) ownership of the company through employee share purchase plans, (ii) sustainability by focusing on electrification of the vehicle fleet and the hybrid working model and (iii) community focus through CSR initiatives and team building.

Montea 4 Ukrain

On 24 February 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukraine from the Crimea, Belarus and the east. Random attacks were carried out in areas where many civilians live and on protected buildings such as hospitals. To help the Ukrainian population, Montea signed a partnership with Water Heroes, a non-profit association founded by BOSAQ, a company that distributes drinking water technology to those who need it most. After acquiring sufficient funds, Water Heroes managed to build three manual Nano Filtration and CIP units and transport them to Ukraine. The Monteaneers did not stop there either but went on to collect various goods and materials for the Ukrainian refugees.

Human Capital Scan

During the first half of the year 2022, Montea launched a Human Capital scan/survey, together with a renowned external partner committed to well-being in the workplace, to find out what gives people energy, what causes stress, but also how to make them become physically & mentally stronger. All Monteaneers received an anonymous questionnaire to assess these elements. The participation rate was very high with approximately 95% of the Monteaneers participating.

As a result, we are proud to say that Montea, based on input from its external partner, is one of the higher scoring workplaces in terms of motivation and engagement. The results show Montea has a great leadership, high social energy through support among colleagues, a great team atmosphere and solidarity, support from the manager and recognition from colleagues. In addition, the independence and variation experienced in the work environment, whether there are sufficient resources and whether the team works efficient also score high. All these elements lead to job satisfaction, emotional loyalty and a very low intention to leave Montea.

Of course, there are also a number of minor points for attention within Montea (none in the area of real concern) where further efforts can be made to make Montea an even better workplace. To this end, management has worked out a number of action points for 2022 and beyond in the form of internal & external workshops as well as a number of smaller and larger projects that represent added value in this area. The challenge for the future will be to maintain/monitor this great results during the integration & growth of the organisation.

Montea strives for governance that is characterised by honesty and integrity, transparency, a sense of responsibility, strict ethics and compliance with legal regulations and corporate governance standards.

The most important Montea governance principles are set out in our policies, i.e. corporate governance charter, code of conduct, dealing code, remuneration policy and environmental policy. These policies were recently amended to continuously improve governance within Montea in line with its ESG strategy. All these policies can be consulted on our website.

In the course of the first half of 2022, new policies were drawn up and existing policies refined. Montea attaches great importance to ethical business operations. Doing business in a socially responsible and sustainable way is essential to carry out successfully its activities as a listed long-term investor in logistics real estate. Our suppliers play a crucial role in achieving these ambitions. In this context, Montea further refined its Supplier Code of Conduct in May 2022. This code outlines Montea's expectations of its suppliers with regard to ethical behavior and business operations in a socially responsible and sustainable manner.

As a leading player in the logistics real estate sector, Montea is aware of the impact of its activities on all its stakeholders. Montea pays attention not only to the welfare of its employees and customers, but also to the local communities in which it operates. Montea actively uses its network, know-how and passion to have a positive impact on these local communities. Social engagement is part of Montea's DNA and forms an integral

part of its ESG strategy. In 2022, Montea's long-standing strategy for and vision of community engagement were set out in a Community Engagement Policy. This policy describes the cornerstones of Montea's efforts in this area, namely: engagement with the local communities in which it operates, social involvement and support for good causes, and knowledge sharing. Employees and members of the Montea management are strongly encouraged to become actively involved in Montea's community activities in accordance with the Community Engagement Policy and Code of Conduct.

Montea aims for a culture in which equality, diversity and non-discrimination are central. Employee diversity ensures good dynamics and balanced decision-making and has already contributed greatly to Montea's growth.

Sufficient diversity is also sought within the board of directors. This not only includes diversity in terms of the gender of the directors, but also other criteria such as skills, experience and knowledge. After all, diversification contributes to more balanced decision-making, whereby decisions are taken by analysing them from different points of view. The background of the current members of the board of directors is very diverse with, amongst others, experience from the banking, pharmaceutical, postal and real estate sectors. The current members of the board of directors also have considerable knowledge of ESG-related issues thanks to their many years of experience (at C-level) in Belgian and international companies with a solid track record in ESG. At the level of the board of directors, the decision was also taken to increase the number of independent directors from three to four in 2021. At the general meeting of shareholders of 17 May 2022, Sophie Maes' directorship came to an end. To maintain the number of independent directors, it was decided to appoint Lieve Creten as a new independent non-executive director for a three-year term (see also 1.3.4. infra in this press release).

Independent directors

As part of its policy and decision-making structure, Montea also pays special attention to sustainability. For example, there are standardized procedures within Montea for deciding on new expenditure relating to maintenance, renovation or redevelopment work, both for buildings in the portfolio and for new investments. Investment proposals must substantiate how the amount to be invested fits within Montea's sustainability strategy. The sustainable executive committee examines whether the funds available within Montea's Green Finance Framework can be allocated to investment projects. Compliance with applicable ESG regulations and standards is a top priority for Montea and forms an integral part of our internal audit processes.

The members of the executive management and employees have a special responsibility to integrate Montea's corporate governance principles, sustainability vision and ESG objectives into their daily work. The Montea remuneration policy is also aligned with this objective as the variable remuneration of the executive management is partly linked to the achievement of two nonfinancial performance criteria:

  • the successful completion of an important step of the Montea 2030/2050 Plan;

Share buy-back for 25,000 shares30

Within the limits of the authorization to purchase its own shares granted by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on 9 November 2020, Montea successfully carried out a purchase programme of its own shares during the period from 24 May 2022 to 2 June 2022 (inclusive).

Lieve Creten strengthens Montea's board of directors31

The general meeting of shareholders of Montea Management NV held on 17 May 2022 approved the appointment of Lieve Creten as a new independent non-executive director for a period of three years.

This appointment is part of a sound corporate governance policy whereby Montea keeps the number of independent directors stable after the expiry of Sophie Maes' directorship.

Given her wide range of expertise and directorship in other committees and boards of directors, Lieve Creten is well placed to help shape Montea's ambitious growth story.

Montea shifts up a gear in France – Luc Merigneux starts as Country Director France32

In June, Luc Merigneux started as Country Director France with the aim of accelerating significantly the growth of the French portfolio in a qualitative manner. Under his leadership Montea aims to grow in France on the basis of the formula that also made Montea successful in Belgium and the Netherlands. The main focus is on inhouse developments and strategic partnerships with established players.

Luc has acquired extensive experience in the real estate sector over more than 14 years, with a clear focus on logistics. He has the requisite experience and expertise to bring real estate projects to fruition for Montea.

The new Country Director France will be based in the Paris office and will work together with the local French Montea team to further shape the Track'24 growth plan.

32 See press release of 07/06/2022 or www.montea.com for more information.

To support its further growth, Montea once again offered its shareholders an optional dividend. A total of 55% of coupons no. 24 (representing the dividend for the 2021 financial year) were exchanged for new shares. 207,400 new shares were issued for a total issue amount of €18,915,502.20 (€4,226,812.00 in capital and €14,688,690.20 in share premium) under the authorized capital. The newly created shares were admitted to trading on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris as of 14 June 2022. Following this transaction, the Montea share capital is represented by 16,422,856 shares.

In the second quarter of 2022, Montea successfully completed a new US Private Placement by issuing €380 million in Green unsecured notes. The bonds are split into four tranches:

  • €175 million 8-years maturity (closing 17/08/2022 maturity 17/08/2030) coupon 3.18%;
  • €20 million 8-years maturity (closing 02/11/2022 maturity 02/11/2030) coupon 3.20%;
  • €25 million 8-years maturity (closing 07/12/2022 maturity 07/12/2030) coupon 3.26%;
  • €160 million 10-years maturity (closing 15/06/2022 maturity 15/06/2032) coupon 3.40%.

The bonds were placed through a US private placement with seven internationally renowned investors. This issue is the largest financing transaction in Montea's history and ensures liquidity until the end of 2023. The average remaining maturity of the debt increases to 6.5 years.

As a result of this transaction, ca. 50% of the outstanding financing has now been issued under the Green Finance Framework. The proceeds will be used exclusively to (re)finance qualifying sustainable assets such as certified buildings, renewable energy, energy-efficiency programmes, etc. in accordance with the criteria included in the Framework.

Application for FBI status for Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries

As concerns the realization of its real estate investments in the Netherlands, Montea, in September 2013, submitted a request for the application of the 'Fiscale Beleggingsinstelling' (FBI) regime (as referred to in Article 28 of the Corporate Tax Act of 1969) for Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries. Up to now, the company's Dutch subsidiary, Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries, has not yet received a final decision from the Dutch tax authorities in which the FBI status was approved.

In 2016, with reference to certain case law of the Dutch Supreme court, the Dutch tax authorities developed a new view in their policy concerning what the shareholder test should entail. As a shareholder of its FBI (foreign investment institution) subsidiary Montea Nederland N.V., the company would have to show that it can itself be considered as an FBI. Only in such case, in the view of the Dutch tax authorities, the company can be considered as a qualified shareholder under the FBI regime.

In this context, consultations are being held between the Dutch tax authorities, the Dutch Ministry of Finance and the company to see how this can be put into practice in concrete terms. In January 2020, the Ministry officially announced that this interpretation cannot be given concrete form for the time being, particularly

33 See press release of 08/06/2022 or www.montea.com for more information.

because it depends on the outcome of ongoing lawsuits between the Dutch tax authorities and foreign investment funds regarding the refund of dividend tax, on which the Ministry does not wish to anticipate. Pursuant to the judgment of the European Court of Justice of 30 January 2020 (in the Köln-Aktienfonds Deka case), a foreign party that wishes to avail itself of the Dutch FBI regime must meet similar requirements. This must be interpreted in relation to the (underlying) purpose of the FBI requirements concerned. The Den Bosch Court of Appeal has also issued a judgement relevant for Montea. This judgment offers good starting points for Montea with regard to the requirements for the FBI regime. The Court of Appeal stated that only the domestic activities must be taken into account for a foreign entity.

Montea maintains ongoing constructive contacts with the Dutch tax authorities and the Dutch Ministry on the concrete application of the judgments already published and on the comparability of Montea with Dutch institutions having the FBI status. Such contacts are aimed to obtain FBI status for Montea Nederland N.V. and its subsidiaries.

Future of the FBI regime

Apart from this, the Dutch government is looking into whether an adjustment of the FBI regime in general and for real estate funds in particular is necessary, possible and feasible in the long run. Possible changes to the policy are not expected before 2023.

Accounting treatment and financial impact up to 2020

Despite the fact that Montea does not yet have the approval of the Dutch tax administration for the FBI status, it has kept its accounts until the end of 2020 as if it already had the FBI status. After all, the Ministry has already indicated in the past that it will act within the framework of the general principles of good administration regarding the obtaining of a level playing field ('equal cases will be treated equally'). This is intended to ensure that Montea will not be treated worse by the Dutch tax authorities than other sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs with existing agreements concerning the FBI status.

Montea Nederland N.V.34 has taken the position in its corporate tax returns 2015 through 2020 that it qualifies for the FBI status as a result of which the corporate tax owed by it is zero. However, the Dutch inspector imposed (provisional) assessments for 2015 through 2020 based on the regular corporate tax rate. Given the applicable tax interest rate (in principle 8%), Montea has opted to pay these provisional assessments (being a total of € 11.7 million for these 6 years).

With respect to 2015, 2016 and 2017, Montea received final corporate income tax assessments (response period Dutch tax administration would expire for these years). Montea has filed objections against the final 2015, 2016 and 2017 assessments.

Montea also recorded the same total amount (€ 11.7 million) as a receivable in its accounts. If the FBI status is granted, this full amount will be repaid. If, however, the FBI status is refused, the assessments were rightly paid and the receivable will have to be written off which may have a material negative impact on Montea's profitability. Montea Nederland N.V.35 has complied with the distribution obligation under the FBI regime every year and has thus paid €2,3 million in dividend tax due for the period 2015-2020. Ex officio reduction requests were filed against the dividend tax remittances in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Objections have been lodged in relation to the dividend tax remittances in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The dividend tax may possibly be recovered if the FBI status would be refused. The total impact with respect to the years 2015 to 2020 would therefore amount to €9,4 million or €0.58 per share (16% of the EPRA earnings in 2021).

34 Including its Dutch subsidiaries. 35 And its Dutch subsidiaries.

Accounting treatment and financial impact for 2021 and 2022

Despite the fact that Montea has not yet obtained approval from the Dutch tax authorities concerning FBI status, it has kept its accounts up to 2020 as if had already obtained said status. The basis for this can be found in the 'level playing field' principle with other sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs that already have agreements concerning the FBI status.

In line with new developments (withdrawal of tax ruling handed down as of 1 January 2021 in the event of sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs), Montea has, for the sake of prudence, taken into account in its 2021 forecasts the possibility that the FBI status could be refused for the period starting on 1 January 2021. In that context a provision of € 4.0 million was included in the 2021 income statement, being the difference between the fiscally transparent FBI status and the regular taxed sphere. In the income statement of the first semester of 2022, an impact of €1.9 million was recorded, being the difference between the FBI tax status and the regulation taxed sphere.

Supported by European law, Montea's efforts remain focused nonetheless on being able to apply the FBI status in the Netherlands as of 2021. The 2021 and 2022 tax return will therefore be filed as an FBI as Montea remains of the opinion that it fulfils all the conditions to be able to claim the FBI status.

(3) The pay-out ratio is calculated in absolute figures based on the consolidated EPRA result. The effective payment of the dividend is based on the statutory result available for distribution of Montea NV.

❑ Net rental income

The net rental income amounts to €42.7 million for the first half of 2022, up by 12% (or €4.6 million) compared to the same period in 2021 (€38.1 million). This increase is mainly due to the acquisition of new properties, leased land and delivered projects, which generate additional rental income. With an unchanged portfolio (and thus excluding new acquisitions, sales and project developments between the two comparative periods), the level of rental income increased by 2.8%, mainly driven by indexation of rental contracts (2.1%) and the reletting of vacant units in the building in Aalst (Belgium) and Le Mesnil-Amelot (France) (0.7%).

❑ Property result

The property result amounts to €46.5 million for the first half of 2022, an increase by 5% compared to the same period of 2021 (€44.2 million). The increase of the net rental income by €4.6 million is partly compensated by a decrease in other rental-related income compared to 2021, which included a one-off payment. If this one-off payment is not taken into account, the property result would grow by 10% compared to the same period in 2021.

❑ Operating result before the result on the property portfolio

The real estate expenses, overheads and other operating income and expenses, which are part of the operating result before the result on the property portfolio, slightly increased in the first 6 months of 2022 by €0.4 million compared to the same period in 2021. This is due to the growth of the portfolio. Nevertheless, the increase in the property result continued proportionally in the operating property result before the result on the portfolio of 5% compared to the same period last year (from €40.0 million in 2021 to €41.9 million in 2022).

The operating margin36 amounts to 90.2% for the first half of 2022, compared to 90.6% for the first half of 2021.

❑ Financial result

The financial result excluding changes in fair value of the hedging instruments amounts to -€7.0 million compared to -€5.9 million in the same period last year, an increase of 17% (€1.0 million), which is mainly due to a higher debt taken up during 2022 to finance the investments realised during the first half of 2022.

The total financial debt (including bond loans and leasing debts, including the recurring cost of land under concession) on 30 June 2022 is hedged for 88.1%.

The average financing cost37 , calculated based on of the average financial debt, was 1.8% at the end of the first half of the financial year 2022 compared to 1.9% at the end of the first half of the financial year 2021.

37 This financial cost is an average over the last 5 quarters and is based on the total financial result compared to the average of the opening and closing balance of the financial debt without taking into account the valuation of the hedging instruments and interest costs related to lease obligations booked in accordance with IFRS 16.

36 The operating margin is obtained by dividing the operating result before the result on the property portfolio by the property result.

❑ Taxes

Despite the fact that Montea does not yet have approval from the Dutch tax authorities regarding the FBI status, it conducted its accounts up to and including 2020 as if it had already obtained the FBI status. The basis of this can be found in the 'level playing field' principle with other sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs with existing agreements regarding the FBI status.

Based on new facts (withdrawal of the granted fiscal ruling as of 1 January 2021 for sufficiently comparable Belgian REITs) Montea has, for the sake of caution, taken into account in the income statement the possibility that the FBI status could be refused for the period starting on 1 January 2021. As such, a tax provision of €1.9 million was included in the income statement for the first half of 2022, being the difference between the fiscally transparent FBI status and the regular taxed sphere. Supported by European law, however, Montea's efforts remain focused on being able to apply the FBI status in the Netherlands as of 2021. The 2021 tax return has therefore been filed as an FBI since Montea continues to believe that it fulfils all the conditions for claiming the FBI status.

❑ EPRA earnings

The EPRA earnings for the first 6 months of 2022 amount to €32.5 million, an increase of €1.1 million or 3% compared to the same period in 2021 (€31.4 million). However, the first quarter of 2021 included a one-off payment. Not taking into account the one-off compensation received in 2021, the EPRA earnings would grow by 10% compared to the same period in 2021. This increase in the EPRA earnings is mainly due to the strong growth of the property portfolio while the operational and financial costs are closely monitored and managed as such.

The EPRA earnings per share for H1 2022 amount to €2.00 per share, which is comparable to the EPRA earnings per share for H1 2021 (€1.96 per share), taking into account the 1% increase in the weighted average number of shares. Without the one-off payment, the EPRA earnings per share increase by 9% compared to H1 2021.

❑ Result on the property portfolio 38

The result on the property portfolio for the first half of 2022 amounts to €104.0 million, compared to €90.6 million for the same period last year. This 15% increase is mainly due to the downward yield shift of 12 bps in the first half-year of 2022 compared to a yield shift decrease of 68 bps in the first half-year of 2021, as well as to an increase in market rents of 8.0% in the first half-year of 2022. The increase is partly compensated (€-1.7 million) by an increase in the provision for deferred taxes on the Dutch portfolio result, which was created in the first half of 2022, based on a principle of prudence (not obtaining the FBI status, see section on 'Taxes').

The result on property portfolio is not a cash item and does not impact the EPRA earnings in any way.

❑ Changes in the fair value of financial instruments

The positive change in the fair value of financial instruments amounts to €42.3 million or €2.60 per share at the end of the first half of 2022, compared to a change of €6.4 million at the end of the same period in 2021. The positive impact of €35.8 million is caused by the change of the fair value of the concluded interest rate hedging instruments at the end of June 2022 as a result of the rising long-term interest rates in the course of the first half of 2022.

The changes in the fair value of financial instruments are not a cash item and do not impact the EPRA earnings.

38 The result on the property portfolio concerns the negative and/or positive changes in the fair value of the property portfolio + any loss or gain resulting from the disposal of property, taking into account any deferred taxes.

❑ Net result (IFRS)

The net result consists of the EPRA earnings, the result on the property portfolio and the changes in the fair value of financial instruments partly offset by a provision for deferred tax on the Dutch portfolio result that was processed on the basis of a principle of prudence (not obtaining FBI status, see section on 'Taxes').

The net result in the first half of 2022 (€178.8 million) increases by €50.3 million or 39% compared to the same period last year, mainly owing to the changes in the fair value of financial instruments and the result recognized on the property portfolio in the first half of 2022 compared to 2021.

The net result (IFRS) per share 39 amounts to €11.01 compared to €8.01 per share at the end of June 2021.

  • ❑ The total liabilities consist of shareholders' equity of €1,160.2 million and total debt of €987.8 million.
    • o Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company (IFRS) amounts to €1,158.8 million as at 30 June 2022 compared to €1,015.1 million as at the end of 2021. The portion attributable to minority interests (IFRS) amounts to €1.4 million as at 30 June 2022 compared to €1.2 million as at the end of 2021.
    • o The total liabilities of €987.8 million consist of:
      • Financial liabilities:
        • €409.2 million in credit lines taken out with 8 financial institutions. Montea has €606.2 million of contracted credit lines on 30 June 2022 and an undrawn capacity of €197.0 million;
        • €445.0 million of drawn bond loans, of which €235.0 million in Green Bonds closed by Montea in 2021 (US Private Placement) and €160 million of Green unsecured notes closed in 2022 (US Private Placement). Montea has €665.0 million in contracted bonds as at 30 June 2022 and an undrawn capacity of €220.0 million;

  • Ca. 50% of the outstanding financing (or €615.0 million) has now been issued under the Green Finance Framework.
  • Other liabilities:
    • an ongoing leasing liability of €48.6 million, mainly formed by the recognition of a leasing liability relating to, on the one hand, concession lands (IFRS 16) and, on the other hand, the financing of solar panels on the site in Aalst;
    • the negative value of current hedging instruments amounting to €0.8 million;
    • €39.1 million in deferred taxes; and
    • other debts and accruals40 for an amount of € 45.1 million.

The weighted average maturity of financial debts (credit lines, bond loans and leasing liabilities) amounts to 6.5 years as at 30 June 2022, which represents an increase compared to 31 December 2021 (5.7 years), following the contracted US private placement in the course of 2022.

The weighted average maturity of the interest rate hedging instruments was 8.0 years at the end of June 2022. The hedge ratio, which represents the percentage of financial liabilities with a fixed interest rate or with a floating interest rate subsequently hedged by a hedging instrument, amounts to 88.1% at the end of June 2022.

The Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to 6.1x in the first half of 2022 compared to 6.8x for the same period last year. Montea thus amply meets the covenants on the interest coverage ratio that it concluded with its financial institutions.

The average financing cost of the debts was 1.8% for the first half of 2022 (compared to 1.9% for the same period last year).

❑ Montea's debt ratio41 amounts to 43.1% as at the end of June 2022 (compared to 36.9% at the end of June 2021).

Montea complies with all covenants on debt ratio that it has concluded with its financial institutions, under the terms of which it may not have a debt ratio higher than 60%.

40 The accruals and deferred income largely comprise rent already invoiced in advance for the following quarter.

These half-yearly figures have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as accepted in the European Union and the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to the years presented.

o New or amended standards and interpretations in force as of the accounting year beginning 1 January 2022

There were no transactions between affiliated parties in the first semester of 2022, with the exception of those carried out under market conditions and as customary when carrying out Montea's activities.

The board of directors of Montea's sole director and the management are fully aware of the importance of developing and maintaining sound management and consequently preserving a quality portfolio. Montea applies clear and strict standards for (i) optimising and improving the existing buildings, (ii) the commercial management, (iii) the technical management of the buildings, and (iv) potential investments in the existing buildings. The purpose of these criteria is to limit vacancies as well as to have the value of the property assets increase sustainably to the maximum.

The main risks and uncertainties with which the company may be confronted, the possible impact thereof, and the strategy to limit such impact are described in the Annual Financial Report 2021.

45 For more information about the strategy implemented by Montea, please see the Annual Report of 2021. Where necessary, Montea's policy will be adjusted based on the risk factors described

Pursuant to article 13, paragraph 2 of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007, Montea's sole director, Montea Management NV, represented by its permanent representative, Jo De Wolf, declares that, to the best of its knowledge:

  • ❑ the condensed financial statements, drawn up according to the applicable standards for annual accounts, provide a faithful picture of the assets, financial situation and results of Montea and the companies included in the consolidation;
  • ❑ the interim report provides a faithful overview of the information required pursuant to article 13, §5 and §6 of the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007 concerning the bonds by issuers of financial instruments authorised to trade on a regulated market.

Result-related targets in line with Track'24

Montea maintains its result-related targets for 2022:

  • ✓ Growth of the EPRA earnings per share to €4.00 per share (increase of 7% compared to 2021)
  • ✓ Growth of dividend per share to €3.23 per share (increase of 7% compared to 2021)
  • ✓ Realisation of an investment volume of ca. €300 million in 2022

Maintaining strong fundamentals in a volatile macro environment

Montea aims to maintain its strong fundamentals in 2022 and will stick to its strategy of subjecting its portfolio to continuous arbitrage. This strategy results in exceptional real estate-related performance indicators such as occupancy rate (99.9% on 30/06/2022) and average remaining term of the leases until the first termination option (7.3 years on 30/06/2022). The logistics real estate sector is one of the few sectors that is able to largely pass on the current inflation to its customers through automatic indexation of the lease contracts. With a weighted average inflation expectation of 6.5% in 2022, we expect to be able to pass on an average of 5% to customers. The effect of passing on indexation in the Like-for-Like rental income in 2022 is estimated at 2.7% due to timing effects, given that indexation takes place on the anniversary of each lease. Thanks to its focus on the type of client and their activity (such as the health care sector, recycling sector, etc.) as well as on strategic locations with high added value (such as airports, water locations, etc.), Montea succeeds in expanding its real estate portfolio in an optimal manner. As a result, the company expects to maintain the occupancy rate at least above 97% and to maintain stable payment behavior on the part of its customers.

Macroeconomic situation

We are currently experiencing unusual macroeconomic times, increased geopolitical tension, high market volatility and a challenging interest rate climate. Montea experiences the impact of this at multiple levels: an increase in the cost of raw and building materials, disruption in the supply chain potentially jeopardizing the timing of projects, and an increase in interest rates.

Where possible, the risks are covered to a maximum extent by proactively monitoring projects in execution (timeframe and budget), by taking rising construction costs into account in the lease contracts, and by hedging credit lines and bond loans at variable interest rates.

On the other hand, the logistics market is in good shape, as the demand for additional storage space remains high. The importance of logistics will increase due to key trends such as the uncertain global supply chain, the storage of larger strategic inventories and reshoring. In addition, demand is further strengthened by the continued growth of e-commerce. Our innovative logistics property solutions are part of the answer. Furthermore, upward pressure on market rents can be expected due to the scarcity of land in the various markets. The logistics real estate sector is also one of the few sectors that can largely pass on current inflation to its customers through automatic indexation of rental contracts.

Sustainability

Montea launched its first ESG report in the course of 2021, with the primary objective of continuing to bring its expertise in logistics real estate as to make sustainable, long-term investments with added value for clients, shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. In 2021, Montea succeeded in making its own operations carbon-neutral through compensation.

In 2022, Montea will continue at this pace, with efforts to reduce its CO2 emissions further (stimulating public transport, electric cars, etc.), as well as to improve energy efficiency and continue to use renewable energy sources (such as solar panels and heat pump applications).

In addition, Montea will also place greater focus on the social aspect of sustainability in 2022. Montea is ambitious with Track'24 and wants to attract the necessary additional employees for this, as well as focusing on the well-being and further development of its current employees.

Some of the specific initiatives within Montea in 2022 include the launch of a well-being programme for its employees as part of which a communication tool will be created that brings all the countries together and stimulates communication between the teams in the various branches. Furthermore, Montea will upgrade the performance and satisfaction process for employees, for example by organizing an annual satisfaction survey with the necessary feedback, as well as by developing the existing feedback moments further so that people can continue to grow.

Ambitious portfolio growth

In 2021, Montea proposed Track'24, intended to achieve its envisaged ambitions in the years 2021 to 2024. Over a four-year period, Montea aims to realise an investment volume growth of € 800 million.

The focus will be on sustainable and versatile logistics real estate:

  • ✓ Strategic top locations
  • ✓ Multimodal sites
  • ✓ Multifunctional buildings
  • ✓ Maximum use of space brown field and grey field redevelopment

Eye on the long-term profitability

Based on Montea's strong financial basis, its low debt ratio and its high occupancy rate at its sites, Montea's ambition for 2024 is to achieve

  • ✓ growth of the EPRA earnings per share to € 4.30 per share (> 20% increase compared to 2020)
  • ✓ increase of the dividend per share to € 3.45 per share (> 20% increase compared to 2020)

Montea is more than ever ready to attain its ambitions. With more than € 491 million in identified projects, € 399 million already realised and € 93 million in execution, many new projects in the pipeline, an ample land bank of some 2,000,000 m² and professional teams in the four countries where it operates, Montea can offer an answer to the strong market demand. These factors will form the basis for the implementation of Track'24.

Focus on sustainability

Montea aspires to reduce the CO2 emissions from its own operations by 50% by the end of 2024 – in line with the 2030 target, i.e. full CO2 neutrality without compensation.

Montea aspires to reduce the CO2 emissions from its buildings by 20% by the end of 2024 – in line with the 2050 target, i.e. to bring the emissions in line with the targets of the Paris climate conference (Paris Proof).

EPRA-earnings – EPRA earnings per share

Definition: The EPRA earnings concern the net earnings (after processing of the operating result before the result on the portfolio, minus the financial results and corporate tax, excluding deferred taxes), minus the changes in the fair value of property investments and real estate intended for sale, minus the result from the sale of investment properties, plus changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The EPRA earnings per share are the EPRA earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares for the financial year.

46 The auditor carried out a review (ISRE 2410) of the EPRA measures included in this section.

Purpose: The EPRA earnings measure the operational profitability of the company after the financial result and after taxes on the operational result. The EPRA earnings measure the net result from the core activities per share.

EPRA NAVs – EPRA NAVs per share

In October 2019, EPRA published its new Best Practice Recommendations which set out the financial indicators listed real estate companies should disclose so as to provide more transparency across the European listed sector. For example, the EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV were consequently replaced by three new Net Asset Value indicators: Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and Net Disposal Value (NDV).

The EPRA NAV indicators are obtained by correcting the IFRS NAV in such a way that stakeholders get the most relevant information about the fair value of assets and liabilities. De EPRA NAV indicators per share are calculated based on the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. The three different EPRA NAV indicators are calculated on the basis of the following scenarios:

Net Reinstatement Value: based on the assumption that entities never sell assets and aims to reflect the value needed to rebuild the entity. The purpose of this indicator is to reflect what would be required to reconstitute the company through the investment markets based on the current capital and financing structure, including Real Estate Transfer Taxes.

De EPRA NRV per share concerns the EPRA NRV based on the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. See also www.epra.com.

Net Tangible Assets: assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby realising certain levels of deferred taxation. This pertains to the NAV adjusted to include property and other investments at fair value and to exclude certain items that are not expected to be firmly established in a business model with long-term investment properties.

De EPRA NTA concerns the EPRA NTA based on the number of shares in circulation on the balance sheet date. See also www.epra.com.

EPRA rental vacancy rate

Definition: The EPRA vacancy corresponds to the complement of "Occupancy rate" with the difference
that the occupancy rate used by Montea is calculated on the basis of square metres whereas
the EPRA vacancy is calculated on the basis of the estimated rental value.

Purpose: The EPRA vacancy measures the vacancy percentage as a function of the estimated value without taking account of non-rentable m², intended for redevelopment, and of the land bank.
