THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

3 March 2023

Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited

("Globalworth" or the "Company")

Condensed Unaudited Financial Results for the year ended 31 December 2022

Globalworth, the leading office investor in Central and Eastern Europe,
announces the release of its Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income and Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for the year
ended 31 December 2022.

The Company intends to announce its audited Financial Results for the year
ended 31 December 2022 and publish its 2022 Annual Report towards the end of
March 2023.

Key Highlights for the year ended 31 December 2022

·      Total combined portfolio value remained effectively unchanged at
€3.2 billion (0.2% higher compared to 31 December 2021).

o  Combined standing commercial properties at year-end were appraised at
€2.9 billion. Like-for-like properties marginally lower at €2.8 billion
(1.3% decrease compared to 31 December 2021), with new facilities acquired or
completed in 2022 adding €75.5 million in standing commercial portfolio
value.

·      Focused development program in select high-quality projects.

o  Romania; delivered 6 new logistics facilities offering 104.4k sqm of GLA,
with 3 logistics facilities under development which are expected to have a
total GLA of 30.0k sqm.

o  Poland; two mixed-use properties under refurbishment/repositioning.

·      Acquired the first small business units logistic facility in
Romania (Bucharest), with a total area of 7.1k sqm.

·      Overall standing portfolio footprint net increase of 103.3k sqm
(+7.9% compared to 31 December 2021) to 1.4m sqm of GLA in 71 standing
properties.

·      Leasing transactions of 206.9k sqm of commercial space at an
average WALL of 4.4 years, despite continued challenging market conditions.

·      Average standing occupancy of 85.6% (85.9% including tenant
options), 2.9% lower compared to 31 December 2021.

o  Addition of 7 properties with an average occupancy of 54.2%, some of which
are in the lease-up phase, negatively impacted the overall combined standing
occupancy.

o  Like-for-like standing occupancy adjusted for Warta Tower in Warsaw
(property held for sale and now effectively vacant), of 90.5% (+0.2% compared
to 31 December 2021).

·      Total annualised contracted rent up by 3.0% to €189.2m

o  Like-for-like annualised commercial contracted rents in our standing
commercial portfolio increased by 1.7% to €177.5 million at the end of 2022,
mainly as effect of rent indexation.

·      Rate of collections invoiced and due remained high at 99.0% for
2022.

·      Net Operating Income ("NOI") was lower by 3.2% compared to 2021
at €139.7 million.

·      EPRA earnings increased by 21.2% to €71.6 million (2021:
€59.1 million), as prior year EPRA earnings were impacted by the exceptional
one-off costs associated with the cash offer for Globalworth's shares
initiated in May 2021.

·      Adjusted normalised EBITDA decreased by 3.2% to €126.0 million
(2021: €130.2 million), due to lower NOI, partially offset by the positive
impact of the lower recurring administrative and other non-operating expenses.

·      Net loss of €16.1 million (2021: net profit of €47.5 million)
due to revaluation losses of €89.5 million in 2022 compared to the €5.7
million revaluation losses in 2021.

·      Cash dividend paid to shareholders of €0.27 per share in 2022.

·      Preliminary EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV) of €1.8 billion,
or €8.29 per share, decreasing from €8.66 at 31 December 2021 mainly due
to revaluation losses on the property portfolio.

·      High liquidity of €163.8 million (vs €418.7 million at 2021
year-end) plus available liquidity from committed undrawn facilities of
€300 million; LTV 42.7% at 31 December 2022 (vs 40.1% at 2021 year-end).

·      Maintained investment grade rating by all three major rating
agencies.

·      Sustainability:

o  €2.6 billion in 53 green certified properties.

o  45 properties were certified or recertified with BREEAM Very Good or
higher certifications during the year.

o  Committed to reduce our carbon footprint based on a science-based approach
to align with a 1.5(o)C trajectory.

o  Issued the third sustainable development report and our inaugural Green
Bond Report.

o  Maintained low-risk rating by Sustainalytics and our MSCI rating to "A".

o  Contributed to over 15 social initiatives in Romania and Poland.
