28 May 2025.

Aroundtown (‘the Company’ or ‘AT’) announces results for the  first three months of 2025. Net rental income  amounted
to €295 million, 1%  higher compared to Q1  2024. This increase was  driven by a like-for-like  rental growth of  3%,
which offset the  impact of  net disposals  during the  period. Adjusted  EBITDA rose  by 1%  year-over-year to  €251
million. FFO I reached €76 million, or €0.07 per share in Q1 2025, remaining stable as the growth in adjusted  EBITDA
was offset by higher perpetual notes attribution. In Q1 2025, the Company revalued 15% of its portfolio, resulting in
a +0.8% like-for-like  value increase  compared to December  2024. Net  profit for the  period was  €319 million  and
earnings per  share for  the quarter  stood at  €0.20, driven  by strong  operational results  and positive  property
revaluations. EPRA NTA amounted to €8.4 billion as of March 2025, equivalent to €7.6 per share.

The Company continued  to strengthen its  balance sheet. In  Q1 2025, the  Company closed €149  million in  disposals
around book value. Ca. €140 million of disposals were signed YTD. LTV stood at 41% as of March 2025, reducing further
compared to  42% as  at December  2024  and down  from 45%  in June  2024.  Aroundtown continues  to benefit  from  a
significant pool of unencumbered assets, totaling €17 billion or  71% of rent as of March 2025. These assets  provide
substantial flexibility and access to further secured financing. The ICR increased to 4.3x in Q1 2025, driven by  the
growth in adjusted EBITDA and reduction in finance expenses.

S&P LOWERS CREDIT RATING TO BBB STABLE FROM BBB+ NEGATIVE

In April 2025, S&P revised Aroundtown’s credit rating lower by one notch to BBB with a stable outlook.  Consequently,
the credit rating on the  Company’s bonds now stands at  BBB, and its perpetual notes  at BB+. According to S&P,  the
downgrade reflects S&P’s concerns over increased market volatility and a weakening German economy, which may slow the
Company’s deleveraging progress. Despite this, Aroundtown remains firmly committed to maintaining a strong  financial
profile and continues to maintain significant headroom to all financial bond covenants.

SUCCESSFUL €750 BILLION BOND ISSUANCE AND €1.3BN DEBT REPAYMENT YTD EXTENDING DEBT MATURITY PROFILE

Following the end of the reporting period, Aroundtown  successfully completed a €750 million 5-year senior  unsecured
bond issuance. The new bond carries a 3.5% coupon, significantly  lower compared to the 4.8% of the last issuance  in
July 2024.  The  offer was  met  with strong  investor  demand, being  three  times oversubscribed  during  the  day.
Simultaneously, the Company launched a tender offer to  repurchase certain bond series with short term maturities  as
well as relatively higher coupons and through which it  bought back ca. €600m nominal amount of bonds. The  objective
of the liability management  exercise is to  proactively manage and  extend the Company’s  debt maturity profile.  In
addition to the bonds bought back as part of the  tender offer, the Company has repaid ca. €660 million of  scheduled
bond repayments in 2025 YTD, bringing total debt repayments to €1.3 billion YTD.

AROUNDTOWN DECIDED NOT TO RECOMMEND A DIVIDEND PAYMENT FOR 2024

The board of directors Aroundtown  has decided not to recommend  a dividend payment for 2024  in order to maintain  a
conservative financial position.
