BUSINESS UPDATES

  • New Investment Strategy



                  In 2024, Eurocastle launched a Luxembourg fund, European Properties Investment Fund S.C.A., SICAV RAIF (“EPIF” or the “Fund”), through which it invests alongside selected co-investors. EPIF’s key strategy is to acquire small to mid-size real estate and real estate related assets in Southern Europe with the potential for attractive risk adjusted returns. The Fund initially closed with Eurocastle committing to invest €8 million alongside a €2 million commitment from its JV Partner. EPIF is now being marketed to potential investors with a target size of €100 million.

                  By the end of June 2025, EPIF had received over €36 million of capital commitments. In July 2025, an additional €25 million was raised, bringing total committed capital in the Fund to over €61 million. In addition, prospective investors representing a further €20 million in commitments are in the final stages of due diligence.

                  In addition to Eurocastle generating attractive risk adjusted returns on its share of any investments made, subsidiaries of the Company are also entitled to market standard management and incentive fees from third-party investors.

                  By the end of the first half of 2025, the Fund had made two commercial real estate investments in Athens, Greece reflecting its focus on opportunistic investments with strong value-creation potential. The investments comprise the acquisition of a small upscale shopping centre acquired out of a distressed situation and a 70% stake in a vacant office property acquired from a defaulted borrower at a substantial discount to comparable sales in the area.

                  To fund these investments, EPIF had called approximately €7.7 million of capital by June 30, 2025. At that date, the Fund reported a NAV of €8.3 million, an 8% increase relative to the capital called, reflecting the appreciation in the value of the real estate acquired to date, net of all setup and running costs. Of the total capital called, Eurocastle invested €1.7 million, while its corresponding share of EPIF’s NAV stood at €1.8 million.

                  Subsequent to the June 30, 2025, EPIF called €11.5 million of capital to acquire an interest in a large portfolio of Italian real estate assets. The portfolio primarily consists of office properties leased to government agencies. The assets are currently undergoing a disposal process, with EPIF acquiring its stake at a significant discount to the portfolio’s reported value.

                  In parallel, EPIF has been underwriting a number of additional opportunities and has an active pipeline of potential investment opportunities exceeding €50 million.

  • Additional Reserves



                  With EPIF reaching over €61 million in investor commitments, the Board determined that Eurocastle has established a sustainable platform that it anticipates growing in future years. In light of the Company’s strengthened financial position and prospects, the Board reassessed the level of Additional Reserves and approved the release of approximately €4.6 million in Liquidation Reserves. As at 30 June 2025, the remaining Additional Reserves of approximately €6.0 million relate exclusively to the legacy German tax matter.
