Background for the transaction and strategy going forward

During the past years, the Board of Directors has experienced interest both from institutional investors providing long term debt financing, and from other third parties, with respect to a potential refinancing of, or sale of the assets or shares in, PPG's subsidiaries. Based on this, the Board of Directors initiated a process to evaluate different strategic alternatives for the group. The alternatives included a broad range of options including, but not limited to, a recapitalization of the group including a refinancing of Pioneer Public Properties AS' outstanding bond loan, a continuation of the group's current strategy and/or a sale of all or parts of the shares in PPG's subsidiaries. Based on the interest from potential buyers, the board decided to proceed with a sale of the shares in Pioneer Public Properties AS and Pioneer Management AS.

The aim of the board of directors is to continue to invest in real property and enter into long-term leases with governmental-backed tenants in Europe. Further, the Board of Directors will evaluate the possibility of establishing a new division within the Group with focus on investments within commercial real estate, such as office buildings and hotels. PPG has also expanded its capital management, allowing for greater flexibility within liquidity management however always having sufficient reserves to meet PPG's financial obligations.

The current real estate portfolio consists of a total of 13 preschool properties located in Norway, Sweden, Netherlands and Poland.

Key material events during the quarter

On 9 October 2019, PPG entered into the Purchase Agreement with Odin Bidco AS regarding the purchase of 100% of the shares in Pioneer Public Properties AS and Pioneer Management AS from PPG with a total purchase price for the shares of MNOK 2,734. PPG was also entitled to an earn-out of up to MNOK 100 conditional upon the future development of the PPP group. A portion of the purchase price was also used to reinvest in Odin Bidco AS, resulting in a 10% equity stake in the company with a value of MNOK 256. Closing of the Transaction took place on 24 October 2019. Odin Bidco is owned by a consortium consisting of Australian pension funds managed by Whitehelm Capital and the Whitehelm European Infrastructure Fund I incorporated company. The sale marks the completion of the strategic process that was initiated in the first quarter of 2019. The preference shares issued by PPG will not be affected by the transaction and the company will continue to be listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

Over the quarter, Pioneer Public Properties AS entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire a property portfolio. A completion of said transaction would trigger a payout of the entire earn-out consideration of MNOK 100 to PPG. PPG subscribed in December in a share capital increase in Odin Bidco AS in order for the company to be capitalized to close the transaction, increasing its investment with MNOK 23 in Odin Bidco AS and maintaining a 10% economic ownership. The transaction closed subsequent to the quarter, and PPG has received the full earn-out consideration of MNOK 100. Please see note 9 for further information with regards to the fair value estimates of the earn-out consideration.

PPG's subsidiary Pioneer Property Group International AS acquired over the quarter 8 properties in Poland, 3 properties in Netherlands and 1 property in Sweden from Care Properties Finance AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Norlandia Health & Care Group AS. All of the properties are preschools with triple-net contracts, with an average length to expiry of 15 years and Norlandia as the operator. The total purchase price was EUR 18.2m which will increase annual revenue with EUR 1.1m.

Based on the cash balance in PPG following the sale of PPP and PM, the general meeting changed the company's objective in the articles of association to allow for more flexible capital management. The company's main business will continue to be investments in real property and related activities, but PPG now has a greater flexibility for liquidity management. The new liquidity strategy is being evaluated in close cooperation with the board of directors. Over the quarter, PPG purchased bonds in Norlandia Health & Care Group AS (NHC02) with a par value of MSEK 29.5 and bonds in NHC02 with a par value of MSEK 23.5 subsequent to the quarter. Further, subsequent to the quarter, PPG subscribed for MNOK 50 in a reputable Nordic high yield fund.

Over the quarter PPG purchased 1,631,447 preference shares in PPG at a price of NOK 102.00 per preference share, hence owning approx. 10% of the share capital. Subsequent to the quarter the general meeting passed a resolution to decrease the share capital of NOK 1,631,447 in order to redeem 1,631,447 of PPG's own preference shares. The decrease is still pending at the time of publication, with a creditor deadline 20 February. PPG has to date not received any inquiries.

Over the quarter, PPG paid a quarterly dividend to holders of preference shares in total NOK 1.875 per preference share and an extraordinary dividend to the holders of ordinary shares of NOK 27.74 per ordinary share charged to the company's share premium reserves.

Notes to the Financial Statements - Pioneer Property Group ASA

Note 1: General information

Pioneer Property Group ASA, which is the parent company of the Pioneer Property group (the Group), is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with its corporate headquarters in Oslo. Pioneer Property Group ASA is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

The company's Board of Directors approved the condensed financial statements on 18 Feb 2020. The figures in the statements have not been audited.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter 2019, ending 31 Dec 2019, were prepared in accordance IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's 2018 annual report.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the implementation of IFRS 16 Leases as of 1 January 2019, as described below.

Note 2: Implementation of IFRS 16

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019 using the simplified transition approach in accordance with IFRS 16.C5(b) and has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard.

The Group has only one leasing contract at 1 January 2019, the lease of the head office. The lease term was 12 months with no minimum rental period.

For the implementation of IFRS 16 the group has used the following practical expedients as permitted by IFRS 16:

The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as shortterm leases.

As a consequence of applying the practical expedient there were no implementation effects of IFRS 16 in the opening balance as of 1 January 2019.

The following accounting principles are applied:

Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group (the commencement date). Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

Note 3: Discontinued operations

On 9 October 2019, PPG entered into the Purchase Agreement with Odin Bidco AS regarding the purchase of 100% of the shares in Pioneer Public Properties AS and Pioneer Management from PPG to a total consideration of MNOK 2.784, including a fair value estimate of the earn-out consideration, of which MNOK 2.478 were paid in cash. PPG was also entitled to an earn-out of up to MNOK 100 conditional upon the future development of the PPP group. The earn-out were valued to MNOK 50 at transaction date as the total earn-out consideration of up to MNOK 100 were conditional upon the future development of the PPP group. Included in the consideration was also an 10% equity stake in Odin Bidco AS with a value of MNOK 256.

Closing of the Transaction took place on 24 October 2019.

Note 5: Investment Properties

Overview of account movements 31.12.19

The fair value of Investment Properties is assessed quarterly by management. The Investment Properties are also subject to on-site inspections and technical evaluations. Over the quarter a valuation report was commissioned from external valuation party for the property in Norway and the fair value was adjusted in the fourth quarter based on the new aggregate market value of the Investment Properties from this report.
