Completion of Acquisition in Poland

Further to its announcement of 31 October 2018, Globalworth is pleased to announce the closing of the acquisition of two high quality office buildings in Warsaw by Globalworth Poland ("GPRE").

Skylight and Lumen are located above the Złote Tarasy Shopping Centre in the heart of the Warsaw Central Business District, benefiting from excellent connectivity to the city's main train station, other means of public transport and the amenities of an established and well-recognised mixed-use complex. The buildings were completed in 2007 and offer a gross leasable area of 45,500 sqm over 18 and 8 storeys respectively. With a current occupancy of approximately 89%, the properties have a contracted rental income of c.€11.5 million and a weighted average lease length of nearly four years. The properties are multi-tenanted, with a range of tenants including Pernod Ricard, Mars, PGE Energia Ciepła, InOffice, Regus and Cushman & Wakefield.

The total transaction consideration has been set at €190 million, before working capital and other customary adjustments, and has been funded from GPRE's existing cash resources.
