INSTRUCTIONS

Our instruction from Citycon Oyj was to carry out a fair valuation of the properties held in Citycon's investment portfolio as at 31 December 2021. The purpose of the valuation is financial reporting and performance measurement by Citycon.

Fair Value is defined by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS 13 as:

"The price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date".

The International Valuation Standard Board (IVSB) considers that the IFRS 13 definition of Fair Value is generally consistent with the concept of Market Value and therefore the reported Fair Value is effectively the same as our opinion of Market Value. We confirm that the valuations are fully compliant with IFRS standards and IVSC's valuation standards. Our opinion of Fair Value (IFRS 13) is based upon the Scope of Work and Valuation Assumptions listed below and has been primarily derived using comparable market transactions on arm's length terms.

The stated values do not include transaction costs, in accordance with normal valuation practice in the subject markets.

SCOPE OF WORK AND ASSUMPTIONS

We have valued the properties individually and no account has been taken of any discount or premium that may be negotiated in the market if all or part of the portfolio was to be marketed simultaneously, either in lots or as a whole.

The values reported represent 100% of the market values of the company shares owned by Citycon.

This report is for the use only of the party to whom it is addressed for the specific purpose set out herein and no responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole or any part of its contents. Neither the whole nor any part of our report nor any references thereto may be included in any published document, circular or statement nor published in any way without our prior written approval of the form and context in which it will appear.

The values stated in this report represent our objective opinion of Fair Value in accordance with the definition set out above as of the date of valuation. Amongst other things, this assumes that the properties had been properly marketed and that exchange of contracts took place on this date.

The Properties have been valued by valuers who are qualified for the purpose of the valuation in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020.

This Valuation is a professional opinion and is expressly not intended to serve as a warranty, assurance or guarantee of any particular value of the subject properties. Other valuers may reach different conclusions as to the value of the subject properties. This Valuation is for the sole purpose of providing the intended user with the Valuer's independent professional opinion of the value of the subject properties as at the valuation date.

We confirm that we have been valuing the subject portfolio since June 2017 and provided advice for Citycon's internal valuations in Q1 and Q3 since September 2017. We are of the opinion that there are no conflicts of interest present.

We have carried out our work based upon information supplied to us by Citycon, which we have assumed to be correct and comprehensive.

4

We inspected the properties internally between May 2017 - January 2022.

We have not measured the properties but have relied upon the floor areas provided to us by Citycon, which we have assumed to be correct and comprehensive.

We have not undertaken, nor are we aware of the content of, any environmental audit or other environmental investigation or soil survey which may have been carried out on the properties and which may draw attention to any contamination or the possibility of any such contamination. In the absence of information to the contrary, we have assumed that the properties are not contaminated or adversely affected by any existing or proposed environmental law.

We have not carried out any building surveys or been provided with a building survey from an external party. In the absence of information to the contrary, we have assumed that the properties are free from rot, infestation, structural or latent defect and that the services are in working order and free of defect. We have otherwise had regard to the age and apparent general condition of the Properties.

We have investigated town planning on the Council's websites. We have assumed that all buildings have been erected in accordance with or prior to planning control and have the benefit of permanent planning consents or existing use rights for their current use.

Details of title/tenure under which the Property is held and of lettings to which it is subject are as supplied to us. We have not generally examined nor had access to all the deeds, leases or other documents relating thereto.

Important Warning - The effect of Novel Coronavirus on the real estate market

The outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), which was declared by the World Health Organisation as a "Global Pandemic" on the 11th March 2020, continues to affect economies and real estate markets globally. Nevertheless, as at the valuation date, property markets are mostly functioning again, with transaction volumes and other relevant evidence at levels where enough market evidence exists upon which to base opinions of value. Accordingly - and for the avoidance of doubt - our valuation is not reported as being subject to 'material valuation uncertainty', as defined by VPS 3 and VPGA 10 of the RICS Valuation - Global Standards.

This explanatory note has been included to ensure transparency and to provide further insight as to the market context under which the valuation opinion was prepared. In recognition of the potential for market conditions to move rapidly in response to changes in the control or future spread of COVID-19, we highlight the importance of the valuation date.
