Clarification on promissory notes and cross guarantees

Company's statement

At our (Adler Group S.A.'s) Q1 2022 presentation, we have been asked about outstanding promissory notes (Schuldscheindarlehen) and to clarify whether any promissory notes are not reflected in our financial accounts. Additionally, we have been asked to clarify whether there are any cross guarantees between the various sub-groups within our corporate structure. As a follow-up we would like to clarify these questions in order to provide maximum transparency for all capital market participants.

  • On the subject of promissory notes: Some of our financial liabilities are in the form of promissory notes. We differentiate between unsecured promissory notes that rank pari passu with our bonds and secured promissory notes that are either secured by yielding assets or by projects. All of our promissory notes are part of our financial liabilities as shown in our published financial statements. The aggregate amount of unsecured promissory notes and secured promissory notes was approximately €24.5 million and €165 million, respectively, as of 31 March 2022.
  • On the subject of cross guarantees: Cross guarantees (other than from a comfort letter from Adler Group S.A. regarding Consus Real Estate AG's project related debt for one specific project) do not exist. The underlying loan related to this project currently amounts to
    €10 million. For the sake of full transparency, we also have loan agreements amounting to approximately €110 million as of 31 March 2022 where borrowing entities from Adler Group S.A. and Adler Real Estate AG have a joint liability in the context of collective land charges. Allocated loan amounts generally reflect the value of the assets serving as collateral.

This document contains certain financial measures (including forward-looking measures) that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered "non-IFRS financial measures". Such non-IFRS financial measures used by ADLER Group are presented to enhance an understanding of ADLER Group's results of operations, financial position or cash flows calculated in accordance with IFRS, but not to replace such financial information. A number of these non-IFRS financial measures are also

commonly used by securities analysts, credit rating agencies and investors to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of other companies with which ADLER Group competes. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a measure of ADLER Group's profitability or liquidity, and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income and the other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS. In

particular, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures, including the limitations inherent in determination of each of the relevant adjustments. The non-IFRS financial measures used by ADLER Group may differ from, and not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Certain numerical data, financial information and market data (including percentages) in this Presentation have been rounded according to established commercial

standards. Furthermore, in tables and charts, these rounded figures may not add up exactly to the totals contained in the respective tables and charts.

Accordingly, neither ADLER Group nor any of its directors, officers, employees or advisors, nor any other person makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to, and accordingly no reliance should be placed on, the fairness, accuracy or completeness of the information contained in the Presentation or of the views given or implied. Neither ADLER Group nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees or advisors nor any other person shall have any liability whatsoever for any errors or

omissions or any loss howsoever arising, directly or indirectly, from any use of this information or its contents or otherwise arising in connection there-with.
