Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited
(the "Company" or "SEREF")
Seventh Capital Distribution of GBP46.0 Million
The Board of Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited is pleased to announce the Company's seventh capital
distribution of GBP46.0 million, funded by the repayment in full of the Hotels, United Kingdom loan received in January
2025.
Seventh Capital Distribution
The Board has decided to make a seventh capital distribution totalling c. GBP46.0 million (after expenses) to SEREF
shareholders by way of a compulsory partial redemption of shares at a price of GBP1.0024 per share (being the last
published NAV per share prior to this announcement) (the "Compulsory Redemption"). The amount applied to the Compulsory
Redemption is after the deduction of costs and expenses which are expected to be circa GBP10,000.
Shareholder Information
The Compulsory Redemption will be effected pro rata to holdings on the share register as at the close of business on 21
February 2025 (the "Redemption Date"), being the record date for the Compulsory Redemption. Circa 23.66 per cent of
the Company's issued share capital will be redeemed on the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Ratio"). Fractions of
shares produced by the Redemption Ratio will not be redeemed, so the number of shares to be compulsorily redeemed from
each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
Payments of redemption monies are expected to be effected either through CREST (in the case of shares held in
uncertificated form) or by cheque (in the case of shares held in certificated form) by 28 February 2025. Any
certificates currently in circulation will be superseded by a new certificate which will be distributed to certificated
shareholders by 28 February 2025.
The Company currently has 193,929,633 shares in issue. All of the shares redeemed on the Redemption Date will be
cancelled and accordingly will thereafter be incapable of transfer by shareholders or reissue by the Company.
The shares will be disabled in CREST after close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN number,
GG00BPLZ2K28, (the "Old ISIN") will expire. The new ISIN number, GG00BTZJM644, (the "New ISIN") in respect of the
remaining shares which have not been compulsorily redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions from 8.00
a.m. on 24 February 2025, which is also the Ex-date for the Compulsory Redemption. The share price TIDM, "SWEF.L", will
remain unchanged. For the period up to and including the Redemption Date, shares will be traded under the Old ISIN and
as such, a purchaser of such shares may have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption proceeds following the
activation of the New ISIN. CREST will automatically transfer any open transactions as at the Redemption Date to the
New ISIN.
John Whittle Chairman of the Company commented:
"We are pleased to be able to announce further significant progress in our objective to return capital to shareholders,
with this GBP46.0 million distribution funded by the repayment of one loan in January 2025. There now remain six loan
investments in the portfolio, against which encouraging progress is being made. We look forward to providing further
updates on capital returns in due course."
