     AROUNDTOWN SUCCESSFULLY ISSUES BENCHMARK BOND AND IN PARALLEL LAUNCHED
     TENDER TO BUYBACK SHORTER-TERM BONDS TO EXTEND DEBT MATURITY PROFILE 

   9 July 2024

   Aroundtown (the “Company” or “AT”), announces the successful issuance of a
   5-year €650  million  unsecured bond  (the  “Issuance”). With  this  first
   senior unsecured bond  issuance in  over two years,  following the  recent
   successful bond  issuance of  its subsidiary  Grand City  Properties  S.A.
   (“GCP”, together with AT the  “Group”), the Group further diversified  its
   broad range of funding sources in addition to disposals and secured debt.

   The new Series  40 bond  will have  a nominal  amount of  €650 million,  a
   coupon of 4.8% and a tenor of  5 years, maturing in Q3 2029. The  Issuance
   attracted  very  strong  demand  from   high  quality  investors  with   a
   substantial book  of  approx. €4.5  billion,  as  a result  of  which  the
   Issuance was 7 times oversubscribed. The bond is expected to be rated BBB+
   by S&P.

   In parallel the Company is  executing a liability management exercise  and
   plans to utilize the proceeds of  the Issuance to repay shorter-term  debt
   to pro-actively manage its debt profile. The liability management exercise
   was launched on July  8^th, is expected  to expire on  July 15^th, and  is
   targeting over  €1.8 billion  in  nominal value  of bonds  with  near-term
   maturities through  a  tender  process (together  with  the  Issuance  the
   “Transaction”). Through this Transaction, the  Company aims to extend  its
   debt maturity profile, as well as strengthen its balance sheet and support
   deleveraging.

   Together with  GCP, the  Group issues  €1.15 billion  of bonds,  receiving
   significant investor  interest  and supporting  its  pro-active  liability
   management strategy.
