REGULATED INFORMATION INSIDE INFORMATION Brussels, 28 August 202 5 , 18: 30 CEST


Brussels, 28 August 2025 - Nextensa announces today that it has sold its entire 8.99% stake in the Belgian REIT Retail Estates.
The deal was completed at a price of €66.30 per share, resulting in total proceeds of €89.6 million. This represents a substantial capital gain compared to the valuation applied in Nextensa's half-year results published on 13 August 2025 (€61.50 per share).
The transaction generates a strong inflow of cash, lowering Nextensa's debt ratio to below 40%. This further strengthens the company's balance sheet and financial capacity, providing additional room to invest in future development projects.
This step is fully in line with Nextensa's long-term vision: to free up capital for reinvestment in innovative and sustainable urban development projects. This transaction is the result of a proactive investment policy and is unrelated to temporary market or sector fluctuations.
"Retail Estates has evolved in recent years into a particularly solid and successful company in its segment, with a unique track record. We are pleased to have been able to support this growth story as a shareholder for more than 25 years. With this transaction, Nextensa realises a clear capital gain and strengthens its financial base, enabling us to continue investing in sustainable urban developments that create value for the future," said Michel Van Geyte, CEO of Nextensa.
