In the last two weeks, the restrictions on trading of non-essential stores have been relaxed in Serbia, Bulgaria,
Slovakia and Lithuania. Currently, such restrictions are still in place in Poland and Czech Republic, but are
expected to be eased by the end of April.

The safety and wellbeing of the Group’s customers, employees and partners, remains NEPI Rockcastle’s
priority. The business continues to apply extensive safety measures across the portfolio, to ensure customers
can securely access retail and other services.
