Under the Company's New Investment Strategy, Eurocastle launched the European Properties Investment Fund ("EPIF" or the "Fund") with a focus on opportunistic real estate across Southern Europe. The Company intends to launch further funds through which it will invest and earn management fees and incentive income.

As at 30 June 2026, the Company's assets mainly comprise:

1. €14.4 million, or €14.24 per share, of net corporate cash¹ of which €6.7 million is Eurocastle's remaining uncalled commitment in EPIF.
   
   
   1. €3.2 million, or €3.19 per share, in EPIF, where the Company generates returns through its ~10% interest in the Fund and certain subsidiaries earn asset management fees and incentive income from third party investors.
      
      
   2. A tax asset of €4.2 million, or €4.17 per share, representing amounts paid (and associated interest) in relation to additional tax assessed against a former German property subsidiary where the Company won the first instance of its appeal in December 2024 and is awaiting the next appeal hearing. The Company also benefits from a contractual arrangement under which it would expect to be reimbursed for its estimated exposure should the matter ultimately not be resolved in its favour.
      
      
   3. Residual interests in two legacy Italian Real Estate Fund Investments with a NAV of €0.2 million, or €0.21 per share, where the underlying apartments are now all sold and both funds are in liquidation.
      
      
   Q2 2026 BUSINESS UPDATES
   • New Investment Strategy
     
     
   The second quarter of 2026 marked a significant milestone for EPIF. In addition to completing its fifth investment, the Fund successfully realised its interest in the largest underlying asset within its Italian real estate portfolio investment, generating a 3.8x multiple on invested capital for that asset. The disposal followed a favourable leasing outcome and resulted in a significant distribution to EPIF's investors, validating the Fund's opportunistic investment strategy and demonstrating its ability to crystallise value. As a result, EPIF's NAV increased by 16% during the second quarter of 2026. Eurocastle's share of EPIF's NAV increased by €0.8 million, or €0.80 per share, over the period, representing a 26% increase, including the impact of additional incentive income that would be payable to a subsidiary of Eurocastle if EPIF were realised at its current NAV. As at the end of the first half of 2026, EPIF had called €22.7 million of capital from its investors, representing 28% of total investor commitments, primarily to acquire five investments. Since inception, the Fund has returned €9.1 million to investors and at 30 June 2026 had a remaining NAV of €22.8 million, representing a life-to-date multiple of 1.40x on called capital. Of the total capital called, Eurocastle has contributed €2.2 million, or €1.3 million net of distributions received to date. As at June 30 2026, Eurocastle's share of EPIF's NAV was €3.2 million, of which €0.9 million represented implied incentive income. To date, EPIF has completed five investments, including one new investment in the second quarter of 2026 of €1 million:
   • Investments 1 & 2 - €7.2 million invested in two separate transactions in October 2024 and April 2025 in two commercial real estate properties in Athens, Greece, reflecting its focus on opportunistic investments with strong value-creation potential.
     
     
   • Investment 3 - €11.5 million invested in August 2025 to acquire an interest in a large portfolio of Italian real estate assets predominantly comprising 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. As highlighted above, the Fund has successfully disposed of its interest in the largest underlying asset at 3.8x capital invested, following a favourable development in the asset's leasing status.
     
     
   • Investment 4 - €1.4 million invested in March 2026 to acquire a residential property in Athens from a distressed seller, with a primary strategy to sell on as a development project.
     
     
   • Investment 5 - €1.0 million invested in June 2026 to acquire a non-performing loan secured by a centrally located parking garage in Piraeus.
     
     
   While encouraged by the performance of the existing portfolio, EPIF's focus continues to be on capital deployment. The pipeline has grown to over €40 million, comprising a range of opportunities with a primary focus in Greece where we are beginning to see signs of increased transaction activity as banks and loan servicers increasingly explore ways to monetise the significant proportion of distressed real estate assets associated with their non-performing loan portfolios.
   • Legacy Italian Real Estate Funds
     
     
   During the period, one of these funds reached a favourable settlement on a long-running dispute with a contractor, resulting in an additional €150,000 of value to Eurocastle that had not previously been recognized.
