Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited
Repayment of Final Loan Investment;
Orderly Realisation of Loan Assets Now Complete
Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited (the "Company" or the "Group") is delighted to announce that its final
loan investment secured against an office portfolio in Spain (Office Portfolio, Spain) has repaid.
This final loan investment was equivalent to 100 per cent of the last reported outstanding funded portfolio and upon
its repayment, the orderly realisation process the Group began in January 2023 is complete.
John Whittle, Chairman of the Company commented:
"We are pleased to announce the last investment has been repaid concluding the orderly realisation begun in January
2023 significantly ahead of the initial guidance that the realisation would take place over a four to five year period.
During that time, GBP376 million has been repaid to shareholders to date (representing 91% of the 31 January 2023 NAV and
104% of the 27 January 2023 market capitalisation), while continuing quarterly dividend payments to shareholders. On
behalf of the Board, I would like to say to our shareholders: thank you for your support as we conclude this process."
On 13 February 2026, the Group published a Circular and notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") to be held
on 27 February 2026 for the purpose of proposing a vote on the voluntary winding up of the Company. The Company's
shares will be suspended from trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange at 7.30 a.m. on 27 February 2026
in advance of the EGM. A copy of the Circular is available on the Company's website at https://
starwoodeuropeanfinance.com and has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, where it is available for
inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. In addition, a copy of the proxy voting form is
available on the Company's website as detailed above.
Conditional on the approval of the voluntary winding up by Shareholders at the EGM, the Board proposes to appoint
Stuart Gardner and Richard Barker of Ernst & Young LLP, Royal Chambers, St. Julians Avenue, St. Peter Port, Guernsey,
GY1 4AF as the joint liquidators of the Company (together the "Joint Liquidators"). The Board will continue to manage
the Company pending the commencement of the voluntary winding up. All of the Directors (other than John Whittle) are
expected to resign their office with effect from the appointment of the Joint Liquidators.
If appointed, the Joint Liquidators would expect to make an initial distribution, in an amount to be determined by the
Joint liquidators, as soon as practicable after the commencement of the voluntary winding up.
