COVID-19 UPDATE: NEPI ROCKCASTLE’S OPERATING GROSS LEASABLE AREA INCREASES TO 93%, EXPECTED TO EXCEED 95% BY 
THE END OF MAY


NEPI Rockcastle provided an overview of the trading restrictions in the CEE countries where it operates and
their impact on its activity on 20 April 2021. Since that date, when 75% of the Group’s GLA was operational,
Governments reassessed the adopted restrictions, as set out in the below table.

As of 4 May 2021, tenants occupying approximately 93% of the Group’s GLA are operational. Based on
public announcements made by Governments, it is expected that the Group’s operational GLA will further
increase to over 95% by the end of May 2021.
