Xior strengthens equity by approx. 80 MEUR via contribution in kind

Welcoming of additional cornerstone shareholder - LTV decrease of 1.1% and EPS guidance reconfirmed at min 2.21 EUR

Xior Student Housing NV announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire two operational student residences, located in Lisbon (Portugal) and Kraków (Poland), with a total of 670 units/1,053 beds and an average gross investment yield of 8.41%. These acquisitions are realised entirely through a contribution in kind against the issue of new shares at an issue price of 29.0196 EUR (not rounded). The total contribution value is approx. 80 MEUR, which strengthens Xior's equity by that same amount and reduces the LTV by 1,1%.

These new shares from both transactions (representing in total 6.54% of the capital after the transactions) will then be fully placed with Car Logistics Brussels NV, subsidiary of Katoen Natie Group SA. Xior welcomes this additional cornerstone investor in its capital and views this as a sign of confidence in its real estate segment, management and strategy. It concerns a purely financial investor that will not play an active role in the management or governance of the company.

In light of the acquisition of these two operational residences, the delivery of approx. 1,050 new student rooms and an expected like-for-like rental growth of minimum 5.5%, Xior reconfirms its earnings and gross dividend forecast for 2024 at minimum 2.21 EUR & 1.768 EUR per share. This takes into account the impact on EPS of committed sales to date and new shares.
