SSG: Market update regarding covid-19

(Oslo, 20 March 2020) Self Storage Group ASA (Self Storage Group, OSE: SSG) has

implemented measures to safeguard customers and employees following the novel

coronavirus, covid-19. The company is continuously monitoring the latest

developments and currently experiences limited business impact. Self Storage

Group has a solid financial position and reiterates the positive short- and long

-term outlook.

"In this unprecedented situation, our number one priority is the health and

safety for our colleagues and customers. We have implemented measures across our

business, and our self-storage facilities will continue to be open as usual for

both existing and new customers. Our self-serviced and digitalised offering is

by nature a safe and flexible solution for our customers. For the time being,

business impact is very limited," says Fabian Søbak, Chief Executive Officer of

Self Storage Group.

Self Storage Group operates 112 sites across Scandinavia and has implemented

several safety routines, such as travel restrictions for all employees, remote

offices and more frequent facility disinfections. A management task force is

continuously monitoring the latest development and is implementing mitigating

measures on a day-to-day basis.

Self Storage Group has a solid balance sheet and a strong cash position. The

loan-to-value-ratio of freehold investment property (LTV) is 36% per 20 March

2020 and the company has a flexible agreement to potentially extend the debt

financing to 60% LTV.

"Our management task force is evaluating all business development activities on

a daily basis in this challenging time for our societies, but we remain

confident in the robustness of our offering and balance sheet. We reiterate our

strong short- and long-term market outlook, but follow the situation closely,"

Søbak concludes.
