Ultima Capital SA achieved 2022 results highlighting strong operational performance

***Ad-Hoc Mitteilung*** Ultima Capital SA (BX: ULTIMA, “Ultima”), a Swiss luxury real estate owner, developer and operator listed on BX Swiss, reports its consolidated financial results1 as of 31 December 2022. During 2022, Ultima continued its strategy as the global economy eased out from the COVID-19 pandemic and then encountered international geopolitical tensions and a challenging market environment. The 2022 results highlight an excellent operating performance driven by growing revenues and the development of the high-end real estate portfolio. The increase in revenues (up 18% from 2021) and the management of operating costs underline the strength of Ultima’s business strategy. The Group's strategy continues to be the development and provision of a 360-degree client offer, covering premium destinations from select mountain resorts to secluded waterfront retreats and prime urban real estate all year round. Currently, Ultima has an operational portfolio consisting of 30 residences, chalets, villas and plots across 7 locations. Its development has continued to accelerate, with 9 new units under construction/renovation and a further 9 units under project, across 4 locations. The diversified real estate portfolio continues to entice ultra-high net worth clients from around the world seeking privacy, exclusivity, and exceptional experiences. Growing revenues and operating results For 2022, Ultima generated consolidated revenues of CHF 16.84 million (up 18% from 2021), mainly through the lease of investment properties owned by Ultima to ULT Management Holding SA and its subsidiaries (“ULT Management”) in multiple locations (Gstaad, Megève, Corfu, Mies, and Courchevel), by management activities in the Crans-Montana property, and by a license agreement signed with ULT Management. The 2022 operating profit (before revaluations and amortization) of CHF 10.25 million (up 25% from CHF 8.18 million in 2021) underscores the growing performance and attractiveness of the properties. Continued development of the portfolio and optimization of the financing structure The development of our high-end real estate portfolio was very active during 2022 with the start of construction at Cologny (Geneva) and renovations at the Gstaad Promenade Chesery and Quai Wilson (Geneva) properties. Final works and renovation were achieved at the Cannes Le Grand Jardin property and the opening was held in July 2022. The delivery of Le Grand Jardin enables Ultima to expand the choice and services available to existing and new clients, and to further meet client demands for exclusivity and privacy. The company had a solid consolidated balance sheet of 1,039 million as of 31 December 2022, with a conservative adjusted Loan To Value (adjusted LTV) ratio2 of 44.6%. Since 31 December 2021, Ultima’s portfolio has increased in consolidated value by CHF 19 million from CHF 991.3 million to CHF 1,010.3 million as of 31 December 2022. This is a result of continued construction and development of the properties as well as the ongoing evolution of the portfolio. The revaluation of investment properties amounted to CHF -2.66 million in a context of rising interest rates and increasing inflation. These fair market value adjustments do not affect the operating performances of Ultima. The operating profit (EBIT) was CHF 4.47 million for 2022, compared to CHF 26.52 million in 2021. In 2022, Ultima improved its financing structure by switching some of its short-term financial liabilities into long-term bank financing loans. Ultima continues to strive to optimise the company’s financing structure and to use the most suitable financing sources over the long term. In 2022, the financial results came to CHF -8.23 million mainly due to interest bearing financial liabilities. The consolidated net result for 2022 amounted to CHF -6.98 million (CHF 16.12 million in 2021). As of 31 December 2022, Ultima had a total available consolidated cash position of CHF 19 million, consisting of cash and securities. Outlook Ultima's success is attributed to its exceptional properties and the adaptability of its business model to emerging challenges and opportunities. The diversification and the quality of its high-end portfolio positions the Company ideally to capitalise on the growing demand for privacy and exclusivity. Ultima is confident that its strong brand reputation, significant progress on current projects and continued growth of the ultra-wealthy segment will serve as a solid foundation for the development of its business model in 2023.

Varia Europe Properties presents 2022 results

***Ad-Hoc Mitteilung*** Varia Europe Properties (BX Swiss: VARE), a Swiss-based company tailoring investment strategies to the European real estate market, published today its 2022 Annual Report, as well as the 2023 AGM invitation. The Board of Directors proposes a distribution from the Company’s capital contribution reserves amounting to CHF 0.07/share. 2022 Key Financials • EBITDA: EUR 1.2 Mio (2021: EUR 1.40 Mio) • Portfolio Value: EUR 30.3 Mio (2021: EUR 41.1 Mio) • NAV: EUR 1.06 per share (2021: EUR 1.47 per share) • Proposed distribution of 0.07 CHF/share Total revenues (income) increased to EUR 2.3 Mio in 2022. However, this positive progression was offset by an unrealized loss of EUR 2.10 Mio linked to pressure on external valuation of real estate assets in a complicated market environment with reduced liquidity and increased cap rate. Therefore, the Company ends the year with a total net loss of EUR 1.2 Mio. EBITDA remained positive at EUR 1.2 Mio as general OPEX were reduced. Taner Alicehic, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Varia Europe Properties, commented: “During 2022, we focused on generating liquidity from our current portfolio in a complicated environment. Varia Europe Properties will continue during 2023 onward to exit and collect distributions from several investments with positive results. We will look at proposing to shareholders additional distributions as we collect proceeds during the year.” Varia Europe Properties’ Annual Report 2022 can be downloaded on the Company’s website: https://www.variaeuropeproperties.com/investor-relations/financial-statements/ 2022 Portfolio Update During the reporting year, Varia Europe Properties distributed 0.35 CHF/share to its shareholders representing the vast majority of the adjustment in equity value from EUR 41.9 Mio to EUR 30.2 Mio. Total number of investment projects decreasing from 20 to 19 and the Company continued to focus on recovering cash from its investments. The portfolio's income/capital return profile allocation moved from 57% capital and 43% income based as of December 31, 2021, to 63% capital and 37% income-based opportunities as of December 31, 2022. The country allocation by the end of 2022 was 55% in Spain, 33% in Italy, 6% in Ireland and 6% in Denmark (end of 2021: 65% in Spain, 25% in Italy, 5% in Ireland and 5% in Denmark). In 2022, the PRS project, a residential development strategy in Spain, was exited with attractive returns. The sale of the position allowed two distributions: EUR 3.45 Mio were paid in July 2022 and EUR 3.30 Mio were paid in February 2023, generating a 7.0% IRR and a 1.20x multiple. In addition, the Iberia Income I position was also fully exited in 2023, generating a 3.7% IRR and a 1.10x multiple in a complicated environment for debt related assets. “From an investment perspective, we believe the strength of the portfolio lies in the diversification of its assets, whether from a geographic, sectorial or income point of view. Overall, all projects exited so far generate a cumulated 6.9% IRR and a 1.16x multiple”, outlined Taner Alicehic. AGM 2023 Invitation Also today, Varia Europe Properties published the agenda for this year’s ordinary Annual General Meeting of shareholders. 2023 AGM will take place on June 30, 2023, at 4 pm CET, at the premises of its asset manager, Stoneweg, in Geneva.

Based on the number of shares issued of 28,512,619, this distribution is equivalent to a reduction in the reserves from capital contribution of CHF 1,995,883.33.
