Introduction

Shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 16 March 2017, wherein the Company advised that it had entered
into a 50:50 joint venture with Resilient REIT Limited (“Resilient”) to acquire Locaviseu-Sociedade de Gestão de
Imóveis, S.A. (“Locaviseu-Sociedade”), the holding company of Forum Coimbra and Forum Viseu (being the owners
