Each Consent Solicitation will commence on 25 April 2022 and will expire at 12:30 (CET) on 16 May 2022 or, if the Issuer confirms the calling of an adjourned general meeting, at 12:30 (CET) on 30 May 2022, unless the period for such Consent Solicitation is extended or earlier terminated by the Issuer in its sole discretion.
The relevant notice calling the bondholder meetings (the "Notice") as well as the Green Financing Framework, the Independent Auditors Report relating to the allocation of the outstanding principal amount to eligible green assets as well as additional information relating to the Consent Solicitations are available athttps://www.merlinproperties.com/en/investors/debt/consent-solicitations-green-bond-proposal/.
