program

Regulated information - buy back own shares

Brussels, 9 December 2021 - Home Invest Belgium NV announces that it will start a share buy-back program that falls within the authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting of May 5, 2020 to the board of directors. The maximum number of shares that Home Invest Belgium will repurchase under this program is limited to 16,000.

The buy-back of own shares will take place under the safe harbour regime provided for in Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation) and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for the terms of buy-back programs and stabilization measures.

The purpose of the buy-back program is to satisfy obligations arising from stock option programs or other allocations of shares to employees or executives or members of supervisory bodies of Home Invest Belgium NV, and in particular the long-term incentive plan for the senior management in accordance with the remuneration policy.

The maximum number of shares that Home Invest Belgium will repurchase under this program is limited to 16,000. The share repurchase program runs from December 10, 2021 to December 31, 2022 or until the target number of shares has been repurchased. The maximum amount that will be allocated to the buy-back program is € 2,000,000.

The treasury shares will be repurchased on Euronext Brussels (XBRU). The execution of the repurchase program will be done by an independent intermediary, namely BANK DEGROOF PETERCAM SA/NV, which will have a discretionary mandate to execute the repurchase. This allows the purchases to take place in both open and closed periods.

Home Invest Belgium will inform the market about the progress of the buy-back program in accordance with the applicable regulations.

Communication of 26 November 2021 to the FSMA

In accordance with Article 37 of the Law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies

In accordance with Article 37, §2, 4th paragraph of the Law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies (the RREC Act) in conjunction with Article 8 of the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 on regulated real estate companies, Home Invest Belgium SA discloses the following information in the context of the planned operation.

The reason for the share buy-back is the Company's compliance with its commitments under the long-term incentive plans for, among others, the effective leaders. In accordance with Article 37, §1 of the RREC Act, we hereby inform you that the effective leaders Sven Janssens and Preben Bruggeman are beneficiaries of these long-term incentive plans and may therefore derive a financial advantage from the purchase of own shares.

The long-term incentive aims to further strengthen the active involvement of management by further aligning their interests with the long-term shareholder interests, as well as to perpetuate management's continuity. The management is called upon to help ensure the further expansion and integration through the investments of the Company. Furthermore, based on previous experience and current market practices and trends, the board of directors is convinced that the commitment and involvement of management increases if it can participate in the capital of the Company.

In accordance with Article 37, §2 of the RREC Act, the board of directors therefore determines that the repurchase of own shares is in the interest of the Company.

In accordance with Article 37, §2, fourth paragraph of the RREC Act in conjunction with Article 8 of the Royal Decree of 13 July 2014 relating to regulated real estate companies, these data are made public in the press release on the transaction at the time of the announcement of the purchase of treasury shares to be decided by the board of directors. The information referred to in Article 37, §2 of the RREC Act will also be explained in the annual financial report for the 2021 financial year and in the report of the statutory auditor.

Under embargo until 9/12/2021- 17.40u
