Acquisition of 70% interest in Galeria Mlociny ECHO POLSKA PROPERTIES N.V. (Incorporated in the Netherlands) (Company number 64965945) JSE share code: EPP ISIN: NL0011983374 (“EPP” or “the company”) ACQUISITION OF 70% INTEREST IN GALERIA MLOCINY Shareholders are advised that EPP has concluded an acquisition agreement to effectively acquire 70% of the Galeria Mlociny Shopping Centre (“Galeria Mlociny”). The investment will be effected via EPP’s acquisition of 70% of the equity in Rosehill Investments sp. z o. o. (“Rosehill”) for an aggregate consideration of €29 million from Powell Real Estate International B.V, Elsoria Trading Limited, Terbanacle Limited and Terbanacle Investments Limited. Rosehill indirectly owns the land on which Galeria Mlociny is being developed (the “development”). Echo Investment S.A will be appointed as the developer of Galeria Mlociny and will acquire the remaining 30% of the equity in Rosehill for an aggregate consideration of €12.4 million. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of May 2017 and is in line with EPP’s stated strategy of acquiring quality retail assets and developments in strategic locations. Galeria Mlociny is a mixed use development of approximately 81 900m2 (of which approximately 71 050 m2 will be retail space) situated in North Warsaw, Poland. Construction of the first phase of Galeria Mlociny commenced in October 2016, and is on track for completion in the second quarter of 2019. The development is c.50% preleased to strong anchor tenants including Inditex brands, Van Graaf and H&M. Galeria Mlociny is a new generation shopping centre that will service a rapidly growing residential area in North Warsaw that lacks a modern fashionable retail offering. The development is complementary to EPP's other (previously announced) Warsaw mixed use project, Towarowa 22. Galeria Mlociny is situated next to the Mlociny transport hub, the main public transport hub for residents of North Warsaw and surrounds, which is used daily by c.40 000 people. The total cost for the land on which Galeria Mlociny is being developed is approximately €104.5 million. The balance of cost of the land on which Galeria Mlociny is being developed will be financed through mezzanine loans granted by reputable private equity funds to the value of €63.1 million. Galeria Mlociny will be developed at an estimated development yield on cost of c. 7.1% and on completion is expected to be accretive to EPP. The combination of the Galeria Mlociny and the Towarowa 22 project (scheduled for completion in 2021) will afford EPP an earlier foothold into the lucrative Warsaw retail market in 2019 and, combined with Towarowa 22, leverage its scale and influence with retailers across the whole of Poland.
