ACQUISITION OF FORUM COIMBRA AND FORUM VISEU AND WITHDRAWAL OF GREENBAY CAUTIONARY


Shareholders are advised that Resilient and Greenbay have concluded a binding agreement to acquire
Locaviseu – Sociedade de Gestao de Imoveis, S.A, the holding company of Forum Coimbra and Forum
Viseu, from RPPSE Holding BV managed by CBRE Global Investors on a 50:50 shareholding basis for an
aggregate cash consideration of €219,25 million (“the transaction”).

Greenbay sourced and concluded the transaction and brought Resilient in as a 50% partner due to the size of
the investment and to access the retail and development expertise of Resilient for the malls acquired and in
order to be positioned to access further development opportunities in Portugal.

Forum Coimbra

Forum Coimbra in the city of Coimbra, Portugal (“Forum Coimbra”) opened in April 2006 and is the
dominant regional mall in the Centro Region of Portugal. This 51 489m2 GLA modern, third generation mall
provides a comprehensive retail and entertainment offering over three levels, served by a structured car park.
The mall has excellent transport links connecting it to both the city and the region.

Forum Coimbra is fully let to 146 major international and national tenants including Primark, H&M, C&A,
and eight Inditex brands including Zara, Massimo Dutti and Lefties. The mall’s entertainment offering
includes a six screen cinema, ten pin bowling and a large food court. The 17 700m2 hypermarket,
Continente, included in the total GLA is separately owned by Sonae Sierra and is not included in this
transaction.

The three-year compound annual growth in turnover was 4,9% and tenant demand exists for an extension
that will be further evaluated in due course.

Forum Viseu

Forum Viseu is in the city centre of Viseu, Portugal (“Forum Viseu”) and opened in September 2005. This
18 705m2 GLA shopping centre is let to 48 major international and national tenants including Pingo Doce,
Sacoor, Cinema Nos and Inditex brands Zara, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Lefties, Stradivarius
and Oysho.

The three-year compound annual growth in turnover was 4,4%. Forum Viseu’s immediate catchment area is
approximately 100 000 people.

Salient terms of the transaction

The initial yield on the aggregate cash consideration of €219,25 million is approximately 6,0%. A five-year
debt facility of €104,5 million at 3-month Euribor plus 2,15% has been secured against the assets.

The transaction is subject to various conditions precedent usually associated with transactions of this nature.

Greenbay dividend guidance for 2017 and 2018

Greenbay confirms its guidance for the year ended September 2017 of a dividend of approximately 0,40
GBP pence per share. For the year ended September 2018, Greenbay expects growth in dividends of
approximately 25%.

This guidance is based on the assumptions that a stable macro-economic environment prevails and no major
corporate failures occur. The forecast underlying the guidance has not been audited or reviewed by
Greenbay’s auditors and is the responsibility of the board of Greenbay.

Categorisation of the transaction and withdrawal of Greenbay cautionary

subject to approval by Resilient shareholders.
