LEASINVEST REAL ESTATE ABANDONS THE REIT (GVV/SIR) STATUS AND BECOMES AN INTEGRATED REAL ESTATE GROUP THROUGH A BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH EXTENSA GROUP

Business combination with Extensa Group

Leasinvest Real Estate (the "Company") announced on 12 May 2021 its intention to become an integrated real estate group through a business combination with Extensa Group ("Extensa") and giving up the REIT (GVV/SIR) Status.

On 19 July 2021, the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the "EGM") approved all decisions submitted to it, including the contribution in kind of the shares in Extensa and the shares in Leasinvest Real Estate Management NV ("LREM"), the former manager of the Company, by Ackermans & van Haaren. The contributions represent a combined contribution value of EUR 293,433,036 and were contributed in exchange for the issue of 4,075,458 new shares in Leasinvest Real Estate to Ackermans & van Haaren. This resulted in a capital increase of EUR 44,819,454.77 from the Company.

The contribution of the shares in Extensa is part of the Company's intention to transform the Company into a listed mixed real estate player through a business combination with Extensa, which invests in real estate on the one hand and develops real estate on the other hand to either sell or hold in portfolio.

This new business model implies a number of fundamental changes from the framework in which the Company operated in the past. The EGM has therefore decided to voluntarily
