   SWEF: Portfolio Update

   ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

                 Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited

                                        

                           Quarterly Portfolio Update

                                        

   Starwood European Real Estate Finance  Limited (“SEREF”, the “Company”  or
   the  “Group”),  a  leading  investor  managing  and  realising  a  diverse
   portfolio of senior, junior and mezzanine  real estate debt in the UK  and
   Europe, presents its performance for the quarter ended 30 June 2025.

    

   Highlights

     • Orderly realisation  of  the portfolio  is  progressing– to  date  the
       Company has returned £256.0 million to Shareholders, equating to  61.9
       per cent of the Company’s NAV as of 31 January 2023. The current  rate
       of realisation to date is expected to continue.
     • All assets  constantly monitored  for changes  in risk  profile –  the
       current risk status of the investments is listed below:

          ◦ Three loan investments equivalent to 53 per cent of the funded
            portfolio as of 30 June 2025 are classified in the lowest risk
            profile, Stage 1.
          ◦ Two loan investments equivalent to 26 per cent of the funded
            portfolio as of 30 June 2025 are classified as Stage 2. 
          ◦ One loan investment equivalent to 21 per cent of the funded
            portfolio (before impairment) as of 30 June 2025 is classified as
            Stage 3.  As of 30 June 2025, an additional impairment provision
            of €7.3 million was made, bringing the total impairment provision
            against this loan to €20.2 million. Post this impairment the
            carrying value of this loan asset as of 30 June 2025 equated to
            4.0 per cent of the Net Asset Value of the Group as of the same
            date.

     • Further impairment to loan investment – as announced on 1 August 2025,
       since announcing a €12.9 million impairment provision against one loan
       (Office Portfolio, Ireland) in October  2024, the Board has  continued
       to evaluate the alternative business  plan scenarios available to  the
       Company in relation to this loan investment. Based on that evaluation,
       and the  continuing challenging  Dublin  office market  dynamics,  the
       Board announced, on 1  August 2025, their decision  to write down  the
       carrying value of  the loan  investment as of  30 June  2025 to  €6.75
       million by  means  of  providing a  further  €7.3  million  impairment
       provision against  it (which  equates  to circa  4.2 pence  per  share
       impairment).  The  Board considers  that  there are  a wide  range  of
       possible outcomes whereby the loan  asset may have varying degrees  of
       recoverability due  to  the  various  business  plan  scenarios  being
       evaluated.  The Investment  Adviser will continue  to actively  manage
       the position to maximise  the opportunity for  value recovery and  the
       Board will  continue  to  closely monitor  the  position  and  ongoing
       developments.  The Company looks forward to providing further  updates
       as appropriate.
     • Cash balances – As of 30 June 2025 the Group held cash balances of
       circa £48.6 million and had no unfunded cash loan commitments. 
     • Dividend – on 5 August 2025, the Directors announced a dividend, to be
       paid in September 2025,  in respect of the  second quarter of 2025  of
       1.375 pence per share in line with the 2025 full year dividend  target
       of 5.5 pence per share.
     • Strong cash  generation –  the portfolio  is expected  to continue  to
       support the  annual dividend  payment  of 5.5  pence per  share,  paid
       quarterly.
     • The weighted average remaining loan term of the portfolio is 0.5 years
       - albeit the final loan is not due to repay until Q3 2026.
     • Inflation protection – 77.7 per cent of the portfolio is contracted at
       floating interest rates (with floors).
     • Significant equity cushion –  the weighted average  Loan to Value  for
       the portfolio is 69.9per cent.

    

   John Whittle, Chairman of SEREF, said:

    

   “Our realisation strategy continues to proceed  at pace and in an  orderly
   fashion. To date the Company has  realised 61.9 per cent of the  Company’s
   NAV as of 31 January 2023, and returned £256 million to Shareholders.

    

   “Whilst the further writedown on  Office Portfolio Ireland, reflective  as
   it is of  challenging market  conditions, is disappointing  the Board  are
   considering the  options available  and the  potential and  likelihood  of
   recoverability.
    

   “Our other investments continue to perform within our expectations and the
   portfolio is also expected to continue  to support the annual dividend  of
   5.5 pence per share.  Accordingly,  we look forward to issuing  additional
   updates on our  progress for  the Company’s  orderly realisation  strategy
   during 2025.”

   Other net liabilities (including hedges)                             £0.5m

    

   (1) The  unlevered  annualised  total  return  is  calculated  on  amounts
   outstanding at  the reporting  date,  excluding undrawn  commitments,  and
   assuming all drawn loans are  outstanding for the full contractual  term. 
   Five of the loans are  floating rate (partially or  in whole and all  with
   floors) and returns are based on  an assumed profile for future  interbank
   rates, but the actual  rate received may be  higher or lower.   Calculated
   only on  amounts funded  at  the reporting  date and  excluding  committed
   amounts (but including  commitment fees) and  excluding cash  uninvested. 
   The calculation also excludes the  origination fee paid to the  Investment
   Manager.

   (2) LTV (Loan to  Value) to Group  last £ means  the percentage which  the
   total loan drawn less any  deductible lender controlled cash reserves  and
   less any amortisation  received to  date (when aggregated  with any  other
   indebtedness ranking alongside  and/or senior  to it) bears  to its  value
   determined by  the  last  independent third  party  appraisals  for  loans
   classified as Stage 1  and Stage 2  and on the marked  down value per  the
   recently announced loan impairments for the loan classified as Stage 3  in
   October 2024.  Loan to Value to first Group £ means the starting point  of
   the Loan to Value range of the loans drawn (when aggregated with any other
   indebtedness ranking senior to it).

   *Remaining loan term  to current contractual  loan maturity excluding  any
   permitted extensions. Note that borrowers may elect to repay loans  before
   contractual maturity or  may elect  to exercise  legal extension  options,
   which are typically one year of additional term subject to satisfaction of
   credit related extension conditions. The Group, in limited  circumstances,
   may also elect to extend loans beyond current legal maturity dates if that
   is deemed to be required to affect an orderly realisation of the loan.

   Orderly Realisation and Return of Capital

    

   On 31 October  2022, the  Board announced the  Company’s Proposed  Orderly
   Realisation and Return of Capital to Shareholders. A Circular relating  to
   the Proposed Orderly Realisation, containing a Notice of an  Extraordinary
   General Meeting  (the  “EGM”)  was  published on  28  December  2022.  The
   proposals were approved by Shareholders at the EGM in January 2023 and the
   Company is seeking to return cash to Shareholders in an orderly manner  as
   soon as reasonably  practicable following  the repayment  of loans,  while
   retaining sufficient  working  capital  for  ongoing  operations  and  the
   funding of committed but currently unfunded loan commitments.

    

   Since then the Company has returned circa £256.0 million to Shareholders
   (including £46.0 million in the first quarter of 2025), equating to 61.9
   per cent of the Company’s NAV as of 31 January 2023.  As of the date of
   the issuance of this factsheet the Company had 148,039,803 shares in issue
   and the total number of voting rights was 148,039,803.

   Liquidity and credit facilities

   The Company held £48.6 million of cash  as of 30 June 2025 and,  following
   the cancellation of all remaining  unfunded loan related cash  commitments
   during  the  quarter,  no  longer  has  any  unfunded  loan  related  cash
   commitments. 

    

   The Company  believes  it  holds  sufficient  cash  to  meet  its  ongoing
   operational commitments.

    

   Dividend

    

   On 5  August 2025,  the Directors  announced  a dividend,  to be  paid  in
   September, in respect  of the second  quarter of 2025  of 1.375 pence  per
   Ordinary Share in  line with  the 2025 dividend  target of  5.5 pence  per
   Ordinary Share.  The dividend will be paid on Ordinary Shares in issue  as
   of 15 August 2025.

     

   The unaudited  30  June 2025  financial  statements of  the  Company  show
   negative income reserves.  Given the current level of cash flow  generated
   by the  portfolio, the  Company intends  to maintain  its annual  dividend
   target of 5.5 pence per share.  Dividend payments can continue to be  made
   by the Company (as  a Guernsey registered limited  company) as long as  it
   passes the solvency test (i.e.  it is able to pay  its debts as they  come
   due).

     

   Portfolio Update

    

   The Group continues to  closely monitor and manage  the credit quality  of
   its loan exposures and repayments.

    

   The Group’s exposure as of 30 June 2025 is spread across six  investments.
   99 per cent  of the  total funded  loan portfolio as  of 30  June 2025  is
   spread across five asset classes;  Office (26 per cent), Light  Industrial
   (24 per cent), Healthcare  (22 per cent), Hospitality  (13 per cent),  and
   Life Sciences (13  per cent).  The Investment Manager  and the  Investment
   Advisor continue  to monitor  potential  impacts of  US tariff  and  trade
   negotiations on  the  portfolio.  No  material  adverse  impact  has  been
   identified at this time.

    

   Progress of the realisation of the remaining investments is being  closely
   monitored. Five  of  the  six  remaining  investments  generally  have  an
   identified exit processes. Sponsors of these loans are either  progressing
   asset disposals  or  targeting  a  refinance  in  line  with  each  loan’s
   respective legal maturity. The  exit plan and  realisation timing for  the
   sixth investment, the Stage 3 loan, remains under review. 

    

   The Group’s office exposure (26 per cent) comprises two loan  investments.
   The weighted average Loan to Value of loans with office exposure is 99 per
   cent. The elevated level of the office exposure Loan to Value is driven by
   Office Portfolio, Ireland  loan which is  a risk rated  Stage 3 loan.  The
   value used to calculate the Loan to Value for the Stage 1 office loan uses
   the latest independent lender instructed valuation. The value used for the
   Stage 3 office loan (which was downgraded from a Stage 2 asset in  October
   2024) is the marked down value  as per the loan impairments recognised  in
   October 2024  and June  2025. The  higher  Loan to  Value of  this  sector
   exposure reflects the  wider decline  in market sentiment  driven by  post
   pandemic  trends,  higher  interest  rates  and  high  costs  attached  to
   upgrading older office stock.

    

   The largest office investment is a mezzanine loan which represents 74  per
   cent of this exposure and is classified  as a Stage 3 risk rated loan.  As
   outlined in previous factsheets, the underlying assets comprise seven well
   located Dublin city centre CBD  buildings and have historically been  well
   tenanted,  albeit  certain   assets  are  expected   to  require   capital
   expenditure to upgrade to Grade-A quality to retain existing tenants  upon
   future lease expiry events. A total impairment provision of €20.2  million
   has  been  provided  as  of  30  June  2025  related  to  this  investment
   (equivalent to 75  per cent of  the total loan  value as of  30 June  2025
   before impairment). The Board continue  to evaluate various business  plan
   scenarios and  the  uncertainty related  to  those scenarios.   The  Board
   considers that there  are a wide  range of possible  outcomes whereby  the
   loan may  have  varying  degrees  of recoverability  due  to  the  various
   business plan  scenarios being  evaluated.   The Investment  Adviser  will
   continue to actively manage the  position to maximise the opportunity  for
   value recovery and the Board will continue to closely monitor the position
   and ongoing developments.  The Company looks forward to providing  further
   updates as appropriate.

    

   The remaining total funded portfolio (excluding Residential (1 per  cent))
   is split across Light Industrial (24 per cent), Healthcare (22 per  cent),
   Hospitality (13 per cent), and Life Sciences (13 per cent).  These sectors
   provide good diversification. The weighted average Loan to Value of  these
   exposures is 59 per cent.

    

   Credit Risk Analysis

    

   All loans within the  portfolio are classified  and measured at  amortised
   cost less impairment. 

    

   The Group follows a three-stage model  for impairment based on changes  in
   credit quality since initial recognition as summarised below:

     • A  financial  instrument  that  is  not  credit-impaired  on   initial
       recognition  is  classified  as  Stage  1  and  has  its  credit  risk
       continuously monitored by the Group. The expected credit loss  (“ECL”)
       is measured over a 12-month period of time.
     • If a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition  is
       identified, the financial instrument  is moved to Stage  2 but is  not
       yet deemed to be  credit-impaired. The ECL is  measured on a  lifetime
       basis.
     • If the financial  instrument is  credit-impaired it is  then moved  to
       Stage 3. The ECL is measured on a lifetime basis.

    

   The  Group  closely  monitors   all  loans  in   the  portfolio  for   any
   deterioration in credit risk. As of  the date of this factsheet,  assigned
   classifications are:

    

     • Stage  1  loans  –  three  loan  investments  totalling  £60  million,
       equivalent to 53 per cent of the  funded portfolio as of 30 June  2025
       are classified in the lowest risk profile, Stage 1.

    

     • Stage 2 loans – two loan investments totalling £29 million, equivalent
       to 26  per  cent of  the  funded portfolio  as  of 30  June  2025  are
       classified as Stage 2.  The average  Loan to Value of these  exposures
       is 58 per  cent. The weighted  average age of  valuation report  dates
       used in the Loan  to Value calculation is  just under one year.  While
       these loans are higher risk than  at initial recognition, no loss  has
       been recognised on a twelve-month and lifetime expected credit  losses
       basis. Therefore, no impairment in the  value of these loans has  been
       recognised. The drivers  for classifying  these deals as  Stage 2  are
       typically either one or a combination of the below factors:

          ◦ lower underlying property values following receipt of updated
            formal appraisals by independent valuers or agreed and in
            exclusivity sale values;
          ◦ sponsor business plans progressing more slowly than originally
            underwritten meaning that trading performance has lagged
            expectations and operating financial covenants under the facility
            agreements have been breached; and
          ◦ additional equity support is required to cover interest or
            operating shortfalls as a result of slower lease up or operations
            taking longer to ramp up.

    

   The Stage  2  loans continue  to  benefit  from headroom  to  the  Group’s
   investment basis. The Group has a  strategy for each of these deals  which
   targets full loan repayment over a  defined period of time. Under each  of
   the existing  Stage  2  loans, the  underlying  sponsors  are  progressing
   strategies to repay  the loans in  full by either  refinancing with  third
   party lenders or disposing of assets.

    

     • Stage 3 loans – during October  2024, one loan (with a funded  balance
       amounting  to  £23  million/€27  million  as  of  30  June  2025)  was
       reclassified as Stage 3. As of 30 June 2025, the balance of this  loan
       represented 21 per  cent of  the total funded  portfolio. As  outlined
       above, an impairment of £17 million/€20 million has been provided  for
       related to this asset. The Board considers that there are a wide range
       of possible outcomes whereby the  loan asset may have varying  degrees
       of recoverability due  to the  various business  plan scenarios  being
       evaluated.  The Investment  Adviser will continue  to actively  manage
       the position to maximise  the opportunity for  value recovery and  the
       Board will  continue  to  closely monitor  the  position  and  ongoing
       developments.  The Company looks forward to providing further  updates
       as appropriate.

    

   This assessment has been  made based on information  in our possession  at
   the date of publishing this factsheet, our assessment of the risks of each
   loan and certain estimates and judgements around future performance of the
   assets. 

    

   Market commentary and outlook

   The second quarter of 2025 kicked off with a bang for markets with Trump’s
   “Liberation Day”  tariff  announcements.    After the  initial  shock  and
   sell-off, markets  regained composure  and have  been balanced  between  a
   fairly stable performance in  economic data and  the backdrop of  multiple
   geopolitical pressures.

    

   In equity markets the S&P 500  and Nasdaq both reached new all-time  highs
   in late  June,  buoyed  by better-than-expected  corporate  earnings,  the
   prospect of rate cuts later in the year, and the prospect of a cooling  of
   trade-related tensions.  In the United Kingdom the FTSE 100 also hit a new
   all-time high topping 9,000 for the first time. 

    

   During the quarter interest rates  across developed markets moved  broadly
   in line with expectations with a faster pace of Euro rate cuts versus  the
   United States continuing.   In the United States, the Federal Reserve left
   the interest rate unchanged during the  quarter while, in Europe, the  ECB
   made two cuts of 25 basis points  to its deposit rate resulting in a  rate
   of 2 per  cent by  quarter end  and, in the  United Kingdom,  the Bank  of
   England cut its base  rate by 25  basis points in the  quarter to end  the
   quarter at 4.25 per cent.  One of the considerations that has been holding
   back  further  rate  movement  in  the  United  States  is  balancing  the
   potentially inflationary impacts of a dynamically changing tariff policy. 
   This is a  particularly difficult  task given the  Federal Reserve’s  dual
   mandate on employment and price  stability.  President Trump has  declared
   he would only appoint a Federal  Reserve Chair committed to cutting  rates
   creating an extra variable into how markets can expect the Federal Reserve
   to work once Jerome Powell’s term is up in 2026.

    

   While there was some volatility in the short term, government bond  yields
   have also  seen relatively  small changes  in the  quarter with  benchmark
   10-year bond yields standing at 4.23 per cent, 4.48 per cent and 2.60  per
   cent versus  4.25  per cent,  4.47  per cent  and  2.73 per  cent  at  the
   beginning of the  quarter for the  United States, the  United Kingdom  and
   Europe respectively. UK  gilt yields  have remained  elevated compared  to
   other developed  markets  with  stubborn  inflation  and  growth  concerns
   compounded by a series  of economic policy  issues, including a  backbench
   rebellion over benefit reforms and the high-profile reversal on the winter
   fuel allowance.  Higher rates are  likely one of the contributing  factors
   in why real estate volume growth in the United Kingdom is lagging the rest
   of Europe.  In  the latest  CBRE data  we saw  United Kingdom  transaction
   volumes down in  Q1 2025 compared  to Q1  2024 whereas Europe  as a  whole
   showed a slight increase.   Lower interest rates in Eurozone countries are
   reducing overall debt  costs and  allowing for  positive leverage  meaning
   that the all in cost of financing  real estate is lower than the going  in
   investment yield now in many markets.

    

   Credit markets also recovered well after Liberation Day.  Primary issuance
   across corporate credit and  structured finance almost completely  stopped
   for a  couple of  weeks at  the beginning  of the  quarter.  However,  the
   recovery has been swift.  In the  US, the CMBS market rebounded to  strong
   volumes by late Q2,  as investor appetite  for structured credit  remained
   robust.   Year to  date non-agency  CMBS issuance through  June was  $74.4
   billion reflecting a 56 per cent  increase over the same period in  2024. 
   In Europe there are  signs that CMBS issuance  is maintaining some of  the
   momentum it added over the past few quarters with a number of deals in the
   market and the first deal launched  since Liberation Day having priced  in
   June.  The deal  attracted healthy  demand, with  spreads tightening  from
   initial to  final  pricing,  reflecting the  market’s  confidence  in  the
   underlying high-quality, income-generating real estate and the credibility
   of the sponsor.

    

   In terms of  sector dynamics  for real estate,  defence has  emerged as  a
   notable beneficiary of the increased recognition of geopolitical risk  and
   the resultant pledges to expand defence spending. Germany’s  Rheinmetall’s
   potential plan to convert Volkswagen’s  Osnabrück production plant into  a
   defence manufacturing facility is one  example of this shift in  strategic
   industrial policy having  an impact  on this specific  type of  production
   facility real estate.  We are seeing other signs of the early stages of  a
   knock-on effect for real estate  beginning to materialise, with  increased
   discussion of the demand for manufacturing space, logistics infrastructure
   and defence research and development facilities. 

    

   While there is a  general concern from some  market participants that  low
   volumes are creating  too few  lending opportunities,  real estate  credit
   remains an attractive  risk-reward proposition.   As capitalisation  rates
   have increased, debt yields  have too and are  higher than during much  of
   the post-GFC  period.   At  the  same  time  lending  spreads  still  look
   favourable versus historical levels despite improved liquidity conditions.

    

   As the summer starts,  markets are in good  shape, but the holiday  season
   can bring  more choppy  conditions.   Geopolitically, several  sources  of
   potential instability loom large. The ongoing conflicts involving Ukraine,
   Iran, Israel, and Gaza continue to simmer, and there is a significant risk
   in US  trade  dynamics.  Market  participants  might also  be  mindful  of
   seasonal illiquidity, as lighter trading desks and reduced volumes  during
   peak holiday weeks can amplify sharp moves.

   Loan to Value

    

   All assets securing the loans  undergo third party valuations before  each
   investment  closes  and  periodically  thereafter  at  a  time  considered
   appropriate by the lenders.  The Loan to Values  shown below are based  on
   independent third party  appraisals for  loans classified as  Stage 1  and
   Stage 2 and on the marked down value as per the announced loan impairments
   for the loan classified as Stage  3 in October 2024. The weighted  average
   age of the dates of these valuations for the whole portfolio is just under
   a year.

   As of 30 June 2025, the Group has an average last £ Loan to Value of  69.9
   per cent (31 March 2025: 68.1 per cent).

   The Group’s last £ Loan to Value means the percentage which the total loan
   drawn less any  deductible lender  controlled cash reserves  and less  any
   amortisation received to date (when aggregated with any other indebtedness
   ranking  alongside  and/or  senior  to  it)  bears  to  the  market  value
   determined by  the  last formal  lender  valuation received,  reviewed  in
   detail and approved by the reporting date  or, in the case of the Stage  3
   asset classified as Stage 3 in October 2024, the marked down value per the
   recently announced loan impairments. Loan to Value to first Group £  means
   the starting point of  the Loan to  Value range of  the loans drawn  (when
   aggregated  with  any  other  indebtedness  ranking  senior  to  it).  For
   development projects the calculation includes the total facility available
   and is calculated against  the assumed market value  on completion of  the
   relevant project.  

   The table below shows the sensitivity of the Loan to Value calculation for
   movements in the underlying property  valuation and demonstrates that  the
   Group has considerable headroom within the currently reported last £  Loan
   to Values.
