BUSINESS UPDATES
* New Investment Strategy - Eurocastle remains on track to close its first
acquisition under the New Investment Strategy in Q2 2024, subject to certain
    conditions precedent. As previously announced, Eurocastle has agreed to
    acquire part of a boutique retail complex in an affluent part of Athens,
    Greece. The total expected investment is approximately EUR6.3 million, of
    which Eurocastle's share is approximately EUR5.0 million. In parallel with
    executing this first investment, the Company has been underwriting a number
    of additional opportunities.
  * In addition, Eurocastle has made significant progress on establishing an
    investment structure through which it expects to invest alongside selected
    external co-investors. The Company has recently commenced the pre-marketing
    phase of launching a Luxembourg regulated fund with a first close targeted
    by the end of Q2 2024. In addition to generating attractive risk adjusted
    returns on its share of any investments made through the fund, Eurocastle
    anticipates also receiving market standard management and incentive fees
    from the external investors.

* Additional Reserves - The Company reduced these reserves from EUR10.6 million
    to EUR10.5 million, or EUR10.55 per share, during the quarter, with the
    reduction of EUR0.1 million reflecting reserves being utilised in line with
    anticipated costs. As at 31 March 2024, of the total Additional Reserves of
    EUR10.5 million, EUR5.4 million related to the legacy German tax matter with the
    balance of approximately EUR5.1 million in place to allow for future costs and
    potential liabilities while the Company establishes in parallel the New
    Investment Strategy.
