25 November 2020.

Aroundtown's ("the Company" or "AT") collection rate excluding the hotel portfolio in the nine-month period of 2020 amounted to 96%. The collection rate is reflecting the strong diversification in asset types, locations, tenants and tenant industries and is close to pre-pandemic levels. Including the hotel portfolio, the collection rate in the nine months of 2020 amounted to 85%, impacted from around 60% collection rate in the hotel portfolio, including completed negotiations with hotel tenants for longer lease terms at higher rents for the extended period in return for a rent free period. With partially lifting pandemic-related restrictions, the hotel portfolio's collection rate improved from 21% in the second quarter of 2020 to 58% in the third quarter, confirming the strong recovery potential of the hotel portfolio.

YEAR-TO-DATE DISPOSALS ABOVE BOOK VALUE, VALIDATING VALUATIONS, INCREASING PORTFOLIO QUALITY AND FUELING SHARE BUYBACK
The Company has signed year to date ca. €2.1 billion of disposals, primarily non-core and mature properties, of which over €770 million has been closed within the reporting period. Furthermore, the Company has further half a billion Euro of disposals under advanced negotiations. The disposed properties are mainly retail and wholesale and primarily located in non-core cities across Germany, resulting in a stronger portfolio focus on high quality assets in top tier locations and thus enhancing the overall quality of the portfolio. The properties have been disposed at +3% above book value at an average multiple of 18x, validating property valuations. The proceeds from these disposals have further strengthened the Company's strong liquidity position, supporting the conservative financial profile through debt repayments and providing fuel for the highly accretive share buyback by reinvesting the funds into the Company at very attractive pricing, well below transaction levels and most recent valuations. To date, Aroundtown has bought back over 13% of its shares at an average price of approx. €4.9 per share, a steep discount to the September 2020 EPRA NAV of €9.3 per share.

GUIDANCE FOR FY 2020 CONFIRMED, WITH PARTIAL IMPACT FROM SHARE BUYBACK
The Company confirms the guidance for full year 2020, with the FFO I after perpetual expected to be in the range of €460-€485 million. The FFO I per share after perpetual increased to €0.35-€0.37 from €0.34-€0.36 per share, as a result of the share buyback program. The per share mid-guidance is reflecting a yield of 4.7% (based on a share price of €5.9). The impact from COVID is conservatively included as an extraordinary and non-recurring item, resulting in an FFO I per share after perpetual, COVID adjusted which increased to €0.26-€0.29 from €0.25-€0.28. As the majority of the share buyback has been executed in Q4 2020, its full effect on the FFO I per share will be in 2021.

MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Mr. Shmuel Mayo has agreed with the Board of Directors to retire from his position as Co-CEO. Mr. Mayo will instead continue and serve the Company as an advisor. Mr. Mayo commented: "It has been a great privilege to contribute to Aroundtown's growth over the last years and to be part of this remarkable team. I am stepping down from my position as Co-CEO due to personal reasons, but I am glad to continue to contribute further as an advisor to the Company".
