Dear Shareholder

 

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Before the meeting, the agenda with explanatory notes and the announcements that are required by virtue of law and the Articles and all additional meeting documents (if any) are available to holders of Shares, holders of Depositary Interests.

Each of the times and dates in the above timetable is subject to change. If any of the above times and/or dates change, the revised times and/or dates will be notified to Shareholders by an announcement on a Regulatory Information Service.

 

3. Approval of the De-Listing (voting item)

 

On 5 July 2018, the Board conditionally resolved to apply for (i) the cancellation of the Shares (ISIN: NL0010763611) from admission to the standard segment of the Official List and (ii) the cancellation of the admission to trading of the Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc (together, the De-Listing). Under this resolution, the Board has determined that the De-Listing (and the decision to proceed with any applications to the UKLA or the London Stock Exchange in connection therewith) shall be conditional on the receipt of approval from Shareholders with a majority of at least 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of the Company (EGM Approval). Accordingly, the Board and/or the Company shall only proceed with the necessary steps and documents required to perform, execute and complete the De-Listing if and after the EGM Approval has been obtained. The Extraordinary General Meeting is requested by the Board in order to grant the EGM Approval.

Under the Listing Rules, there is currently no explicit requirement for BCRE to obtain the prior approval of shareholders for the De-Listing. However, the Board has voluntarily determined, in light of corporate governance considerations and the interests of its shareholders, to make the aforementioned resolution on the De-Listing subject to the EGM Approval. Furthermore, the Board has voluntarily decided to only accept the EGM Approval with a majority of at least 75% of the votes cast instead of with a simple majority of the votes cast. For completeness sake, it is noted that, if the requisite percentage of 75% is not obtained in connection with the EGM Approval, the Shares will continue to be admitted to the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.

The Board has resolved to apply for admission of the Shares to Euronext Access of Euronext Paris, a French multilateral trading facility, subject to the EGM Approval and conditional to the occurrence of the De-Listing. The Company's convertible bonds have been traded on Euronext Access of Euronext Paris since 2016. Shares listed at present on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange are held through Depositary Interests. For the purposes of the proposed application for admission of the Shares to Euronext Access of Euronext Paris, the Board will determine in due course whether to apply for admission of Shares to be held directly or through Depositary Interests.

Please see the Explanatory Notes to the Agenda for the EGM (contained in the Notice set out at the end of this document) for details of the background to the proposed De-Listing, BCRE's rationale for the proposed De-Listing and how the Company is seeking to mitigate certain risks which would typically be associated with the proposed De-Listing.

a. Conditional proposal to amend the Articles and to authorise each member of the Board and each employee of Loyens & Loeff N.V. to execute the deed of amendment (voting item)

 

It is proposed by the Board to the general meeting of the Company to resolve, subject to and conditional upon the occurrence of and effective as of the De-Listing, to amend the Articles in conformity with the draft deed of amendment to the Articles prepared by Loyens & Loeff N.V. (Deed of Amendment), and to authorise each member of the Board and also each employee of Loyens & Loeff N.V., severally, to have the Deed of Amendment executed.

The amendments to the Articles as included in the draft Deed of Amendment are proposed in order to:

 

· for reasons of flexibility and clarity, remove references and articles in respect of the London Stock Exchange, regulated market, UK Listing Authority and UK Listing Rules (all as defined in the current Articles) that are no longer relevant and/or mandatory required under Dutch law following the De-Listing (e.g. the obligation to publish semi-annual figures within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act);

· for reasons of flexibility and clarity, to make some technical changes to align the Articles with the situation post the De-Listing (e.g. the procedural requirements for convening a general meeting).

 

A copy of the proposal, including the verbatim text thereof (and including a compare with the current Articles evidencing the proposed changes), shall be deposited and kept available at the Company's office for inspection by, and must be made available free of charge to, shareholders. A copy shall also be available on the Company's website as from 6 July 2018.

b. General Meeting

 

A notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at Barbara Strozzilaan 201, 1083 HN Amsterdam, the Netherlands on 17 August 2018 commencing at 9 a.m. BST (10 a.m. CEST) is set out on page 10 of the Notice.

d. Record Date

 

Only Shareholders entered on the register of members of the Company at 6 p.m. BST (7 p.m. CEST) on 20 July 2018 shall be entitled to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting in respect of the number of Shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members after 6 p.m. BST (7 p.m. CEST) on 20 July 2018 shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting. The length of time between the Record Date and the Extraordinary General Meeting is set by Dutch Law.

e. Recommendation

 

As set out in the Explanatory Notes to the Agenda for the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Board considers these proposals to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Harin Thaker, Chairman
