*Luxembourg, December 11, 2020 *- Grand City Properties S.A. ('GCP' or the 
'Company') announces the successful refinancing of &euro415 million of its 
&euro500 million 3.75% perpetual notes issued in 2015 (the 'Notes') through 
a repurchase of the Notes and the issuance of &euro700 million of new 1.5% 
perpetual notes (the 'New Notes'). The significant reduction in coupon from 
3.75% under the Notes to 1.5% under the New Notes underlines the Company's 
strong development in recent years. 
 
The Company continuously monitors the capital markets in order to 
pro-actively manage its financial obligations as opportunities arise. Since 
the issuance of the Notes in 2015, GCP has continued to grow and has further 
improved its track record in the capital markets, as reflected in its strong 
corporate credit ratings from both S&P and Moody's, which have increased to 
BBB+ and Baa1 respectively since the Company's inaugural perpetual notes 
issuance in 2015.
