Luxembourg, March 4, 2026 – Grand City Properties S.A. (“GCP” or the “Company”) announces its results for the 2025 financial year. GCP  reported
net rental income  of €429  million, a 1%  increase compared  with €423 million  in 2024,  primarily driven by  strong operational  performance,
reflected in solid like-for-like rental growth of 3.5%, which more than  offset the impact of net disposals. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%  to
€340 million, from €335 million in 2024,  reflecting the operational growth. FFO I remained  stable at €188 million, impacted by higher  finance
expenses, with FFO I per share at €1.06, slightly lower due to  a higher average number of outstanding shares. The Company achieved its FY  2025
FFO I guidance and  published guidance for 2026  in the range  of €175 million to  €185 million in  total and €0.99 to  €1.05 per share,  mainly
impacted by higher expected perpetual note coupons.

As of part of the 2025  Annual Report, the Company conducted  a full revaluation of its portfolio,  which is independently assessed by  external
valuers. The Company recorded a  positive property revaluation of  €277 million. The rental  yield remained stable at  4.9%, and GCP recorded  a
like-for-like portfolio increase of +3.2%. Profit for  the year amounted to €588 million,  driven by the positive revaluation, one-off  deferred
tax income, partially offset by higher finance expenses. Basic and diluted  earnings per share amounted to €2.67, compared to basic and  diluted
earnings per share of €1.14 in 2024.

In 2025, GCP continued to execute on its disciplined capital recycling strategy. The Company completed ca. €340 million of disposals around book
value, supporting deleveraging and enhancing returns.  The Company reinvested proceeds into ca.  €300 million of highly accretive  acquisitions,
ca. €190 million of which closed during  2025. Additional acquisitions worth over €100 million  are expected to be completed in mid‑2026.  After
the reporting period, GCP signed additional acquisitions amounting to €75 million in Germany.

During 2025, GCP repaid  its Series E and  Series U bonds  of approximately €260 million  aggregate nominal amount. In  December 2025, GCP  took
further proactive measures to strengthen the balance sheet and manage upcoming refinancing. The Company tapped its Series H senior bond for €250
million and issued a €600 million perpetual note at a coupon of 4.75%, while buying back ca. €600 million of perpetual notes, of which ca.  €500
million carried higher coupon.  This will result in  annualized perpetual coupon savings  of ca. €7 million.  The Company also repurchased  €100
million of its 1.5% perpetual notes in 2025, and expects to refinance the remaining €600 million ahead of their first call date in 2026.

As of December  2025, the  Company’s liquidity  position stood  at €1.6  billion, representing  37% of  total debt.  The Company’s  conservative
financial profile was further  supported by a  low LTV of  31%, an interest  coverage ratio of  5.2x, and €6.4  billion in unencumbered  assets,
representing 71% of the total portfolio, positioning the Company well to capitalise on potential growth opportunities. The average cost of  debt
was 2.1%, with an average debt maturity of 4.3 years as of 2025.

GCP’s decision whether to recommend a dividend for the year 2025 has not been  made yet and will be given prior to the invitation to its AGM  in
May 2026.

Aroundtown announces Exchange Offer for GCP Shares

Aroundtown SA (“Aroundtown”) announces today a voluntary exchange offer (the “Offer”)  for shares in GCP to increase its ownership in GCP to  up
to 89.5%.

The Offer will  provide for an  exchange of  each GCP share  into 4  shares of Aroundtown  for shareholders  accepting the offer.  Based on  the
announced exchange ratio, the Offer implies a premium of 6.6% to GCP’s last closing share price as of March 3^rd  2026 and a premium of 13.1% to
the 6 month VWAP.

The consideration will  be settled  using treasury  shares carrying full  dividend rights  as from  January 1, 2025.  The Offer  has no  minimum
acceptance threshold and is not subject to closing conditions. Shareholders accepting the Offer will receive their Aroundtown shares immediately
following the end of  the acceptance period expected  for beginning of April.  In case tendered shares  together with the existing  shareholding
exceed the maximum offer volume, all tendered shares will be scaled back on a pro rata basis.

GCP Shareholders to Benefit from the Transaction 

The Board of  Directors and Management  of GCP welcomes  the Offer announced  by Aroundtown and  appreciates the continued  trust and  long-term
commitment demonstrated by Aroundtown as GCP’s majority shareholder.

The Board believes that the Offer represents an attractive value proposition for GCP shareholders. The exchange implies a premium to GCP’s share
price and enables shareholders to become investors in  a company with a higher net asset value  and strong growth prospects through a share  for
share exchange structure, thereby retaining participation in future value creation. By tendering their shares, shareholders would transform into
a larger and more diversified listed real estate company with  materially higher share liquidity and a meaningfully increased free float  market
capitalisation. GCP notes that Aroundtown has announced  its intention to recommend a dividend to  its AGM of €0.08 per share. GCP  shareholders
who will exchange their shares into Aroundtown shares will be entitled for this dividend.

Subject to review of the offer document  in accordance with its legal obligations, GCP’s  Board of Directors intends to recommend acceptance  of
the Offer to shareholders and will tender its own shares.

Barclays Bank Ireland PLC,  is acting through  its Investment Bank as  Financial Adviser to  Grand City Properties S.A.  in connection with  the
Offer.

Refael Zamir, CEO of Grand City Properties: “Aroundtown has been a  highly supportive shareholder to the Company for many years, and we  welcome
the offer announced today. We are also proud to present our results for 2025, which highlight the strength of GCP’s operational platform and the
resilience of our portfolio. Through disciplined  capital recycling into highly accretive opportunities,  we are crystallizing value created  in
our assets.”
