First return of capital under managed portfolio realisation strategy

First Compulsory Redemption Announcement in respect of Ordinary Shares

Phoenix Spree Deutschland Limited (LSE: PSDL) announces the first return of
capital to shareholders under the Company's managed portfolio realisation
strategy, approved by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held
on 12 March 2025. The Company will return an aggregate amount of £17.5m to
shareholders.

The return of capital will be implemented by a pro rata Compulsory Redemption
of Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Compulsory Redemption
Facility adopted by the Company at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on
18 June 2025.  The Compulsory Redemption Price per Ordinary Share to be
redeemed will be £2.56.

This is a Compulsory Redemption Announcement as defined and described in the
Company's Articles of Association. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms
used in this Compulsory Redemption Announcement have the meanings given to
them in the circular of the Company dated 30 May 2025 relating to the
Compulsory Redemption Facility.

Background

The Compulsory Redemption is the first return of capital to shareholders under
the Company's managed portfolio realisation strategy, which is focused on the
orderly disposal of the Company's Berlin residential assets, primarily through
individual condominium sales, and the systematic return of surplus capital to
shareholders as value is realised.

Capital returns are funded from net sale proceeds, after taking account of
debt reduction, taxes, transaction costs, working capital requirements and the
retention of prudent cash balances. The timing and size of any capital return
is at the discretion of the Board and is subject to the Company continuing to
satisfy statutory solvency requirements and maintaining appropriate liquidity
and covenant headroom.

Aggregate amount to be returned

The Company will return an aggregate amount of £17.5m to shareholders in
connection with this Compulsory Redemption Announcement.

Compulsory Redemption Price

The Compulsory Redemption Price per Ordinary Share to be redeemed will be
£2.56. The Compulsory Redemption Price has been determined by the Board by
reference to the Company's IFRS Net Asset Value ("IFRS NAV") per Ordinary
Share.

Relevant Percentage of Ordinary Shares to be compulsorily redeemed

The Relevant Percentage of Ordinary Shares to be compulsorily redeemed (pro
rata as between holders of Ordinary Shares as at the Compulsory Redemption
Record Date) will be up to 7.45%.

New ISIN

A new ISIN, JE00BT7JKP71, will be enabled and available for transactions from
and including the first Business Day following the Compulsory Redemption
Record Date in respect of the remaining issued Ordinary Shares which have not
been compulsorily redeemed. Up to and including the Compulsory Redemption
Record Date, Ordinary Shares will be traded under the existing ISIN
(JE00B248KJ21).

Redemption mechanics and timetable

As at the date of this Compulsory Redemption Announcement, there are
91,827,363 Ordinary Shares in issue. Up to 7.45% of the Ordinary Shares will
be compulsorily redeemed on the Compulsory Redemption Date (approximately
6,835,938 Ordinary Shares in aggregate), resulting in an aggregate cash
payment of £17.5m.

Fractions of Ordinary Shares will not be redeemed. The number of Ordinary
Shares redeemed in respect of each individual shareholder will be rounded down
to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares. No action is required by
shareholders to participate in the Compulsory Redemption. All Ordinary Shares
that are redeemed will be cancelled.

Cash entitlements to the proceeds of the Compulsory Redemption are expected to
be paid on or before 14 July 2026 via the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate
Markets (Jersey) Limited. Payment to any shareholder may be delayed where
completion of required identification ("KYC") checks is outstanding.

All payments will be made in sterling.
