AROUNDTOWN SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES GBP AND USD EXCHANGE AND TENDER OFFERS,
AND INCLUDING PREVIOUS EURO TRANSACTIONS ACCEPTS A TOTAL COMBINED VOLUME OF
EUR2.8 BILLION

1 May 2024

Aroundtown ("the Company" or "AT"), announces the successful results of its
voluntary exchange and tender offers for the GBP 400 million perpetual notes
(ISIN: XS2017788592) and the USD 700 million perpetual notes (ISIN:
XS1634523754), (the "Offer").

An average of 90% of the existing perpetual notes were submitted into the
Offer and accepted by the Company. As a result, AT will issue USD 494
million and GBP 345 million of new perpetual notes across two different
series and simultaneously repurchase USD 60 million and GBP 35 million of
perpetual notes via the tender offer (see detailed breakdown below).

4. Swapped into Euro coupon from 8.625% in GBP, until first reset date

Together with the previous transactions for the euro denominated perpetual
notes, AT together with Grand City Properties S.A. ("GCP", together with AT
the "Group") offered an exchange for all perpetual notes which haven't been
called in 2023 and 2024 and for the ones with call dates approaching in the
next 12 months. A combined amount of 79% or ca. EUR2.8 billion aggregate
nominal amounts of existing perpetual notes were submitted across all offers
and accepted by the Group. As a result, the Group issued ca. EUR2.5 billion of
new perpetual notes across 5 different series and simultaneously repurchased
over EUR230 million of perpetual notes via the tender offers, following the
final closing of the Offer (Euro amounts of foreign currency perpetuals are
based on current FX rates).

The result of the offers supports the Group's credit metrics under S&P's
credit rating methodology as the new perpetual notes regain or extend the
50% equity content under S&P methodology. Under IFRS and for all bond
covenants, all perpetual notes, including the existing perpetual notes which
were not submitted in the offers, will continue to be recognised as 100%
equity. As a result of the offers, the Group will see a long-term reduction
in perpetual note coupon payments going forward, which is accretive to the
Group's FFO.
