Sirius Real Estate Limited

("Sirius" or the "Company")

Sirius successfully issues further €50 million corporate bonds by increasing volume of its €350 million 1.125% notes due 2026

Further to its announcement of 16 June 2021, Sirius Real Estate, the leading operator of branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany, announces that it has priced an additional EUR 50 million of corporate bonds to be consolidated and form a single series with the EUR 350 million 1.125% bonds due 2026 issued on 16 June 2021.

The increased volume of notes, at an annual interest rate of 1.125%, follows the strong demand for the initial corporate bond issuance, which was heavily oversubscribed.  

The aggregate EUR 400 million raised this week, as previously specified, will be used in part to refinance certain existing secured debt facilities, with the remainder to be deployed towards the significant pipeline of potential acquisitions, as well as general corporate purposes.

NOTES TO EDITORS

About Sirius Real Estate

Sirius is a property company listed on the main market and premium segment of the London Stock Exchange and the main board of the JSE Limited.  It is a leading operator of branded business parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany. The Company's purpose is to create and manage optimal workspaces that empower small and medium-sized businesses to grow, evolve and thrive. Sirius seeks to unlock the potential of its people, its properties, and the communities in which it operates, so that together we can create sustainable impact, and long-term financial and social value.

The Company's core strategy is the acquisition of business parks at attractive yields, the integration of these business parks into its network of sites under the Company's own name as well as offering a range of branded products within those sites, and the reconfiguration and upgrade of existing and vacant space to appeal to the local market, through intensive asset management and investment. The Company's strategy aims to deliver attractive returns for shareholders by increasing rental income and improving cost recoveries and capital values, as well as by enhancing those returns through financing its assets on favourable terms. Once sites are mature and net income and values have been optimised, the Company may take the opportunity to refinance the sites to release capital for investment in new sites or consider the disposal of sites in order to recycle equity into assets which present greater opportunity for the asset management skills of the Company's team.

Sirius also has a venture with clients represented by AXA IM Alts. Titanium was formed through the acquisition by AXA IM Alts, on behalf of its clients, from Sirius, of a 65% stake in five business parks across Germany. Sirius retained the remaining 35%. The venture seeks to grow primarily through the acquisition of larger stabilised business park assets and portfolios of assets with strong tenant profiles and occupancy. As well as its equity interest, Sirius acts as operator of the assets in the venture, on a fee basis. Sirius will continue to grow its wholly owned portfolio through acquisitions of more opportunistic assets, where it can capitalise on its asset management expertise to maximise utilisation of the space, grow occupancy and improve quality of the tenants. The strategies have been clearly defined so that the venture does not conflict with Sirius's existing business.
