The Company's audited 2017 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 will be published in early March 2018.

Key Highlights:

· Completion of our strategic investment in Griffin Premium RE.. N.V. ("GPRE") resulting in a shareholding of 71.66% in December 2017. GPRE has now been fully consolidated into Globalworth's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

· As at 31 December 2017, Globalworth's combined real estate portfolio1 was valued at €1,815.4 million. Total contracted rental income for the combined portfolio stood at €115.9 million, including pre-leases on developments, an increase of 134% compared to 31 December 2016. The weighted average lease length is 5.7 years2.

· The combined standing portfolio was valued at €1,710.3 million, representing a total gross leasable area of 791.0k sqm.

· Total average occupancy of the commercial standing portfolio was 93.3% (95.4% including tenant expansion options) at 31 December 2017, compared to 83.1% at 31 December 2016. Like-for-like occupancy of the Romanian portfolio improved by 10.2% in 2017.

Tower II (due to complete in Q1-2018) is now 28.0% pre-leased. Commencement of Phase B of this project, primarily comprising the 34.8k sqm Tower III, is anticipated in H1-2018. 

· The Company has now completed the acquisition of two additional land plots adjacent to its assets on the Gara Herastrau/Barbu Vacarescu corridor of Bucharest's new CBD, announced on 22 December 2017, for an aggregate consideration of approximately €16 million. These plots are anticipated to allow for the development of approximately 40.0k sqm of commercial (predominantly office) space.

· Successful closing of a €340 million equity placing on 8 December 2017 with solid support from both existing and new shareholders, increasing the free float of the Company's shares.

· Combined with Globalworth's debut €550 million Eurobond in June 2017, the Company raised €890 million from the capital markets in 2017.
