1. INTRODUCTION

This Report for the financial year 2023 has been prepared in accordance with relevant corporate governance and legal requirements. This Report provides a description of the 2023 remuneration granted by the Company and its group companies to members of the board of directors and the senior management.

This Report is submitted to the advisory vote of the Company's shareholders in connection with agenda item 13 of the AGM.

With the presentation of the results for the financial year ending 31 December 2023, the Company provided a detailed overview of the relevant facts and developments in the performance and business environment of the Company.

Net rental income increased by 4% to €411 million, mainly due to the solid like-for-like rental growth of 3.3%. The growth is driven by in-place rent growth of 3.1% and occupancy increase of 0.2%,

recording an historic low vacancy rate of 3.8%. The historic low vacancy rate along with the increase in the in-placerent underline the Company's ability to extract rental growth potential and are reflective of the strong positive momentum in the market. Adjusted EBITDA increased to €320, from €308 million in 2022, an increase of 4%. FFO I decreased by 4% to €184 million in 2023, as compared to €192 million

in the in 2022. The higher finance expenses and perpetual notes attribution are the main drivers of the

decrease in FFO I, while the solid operational growth partially offset the decrease. FFO I per share amounted to €1.07 per share in 2023, as compared to €1.14 per share in 2022. FY 2023 FFO I guidance

is therefore achieved at the top of the range.

As part of the full year audited report GCP revalued its full portfolio, recording a like-for-like revaluation loss of 9%. Property revaluation and capital gains amounted to a negative balance of €890

million, as GCP recorded negative revaluation across the entire portfolio. The portfolio has been revalued in full by independent external valuers, bringing the portfolio value to the most up-to-date status. The revaluation loss is driven by higher discount and cap rates as a result of higher interest rates. The yield expansion was partially offset by the operational growth driven by higher in-place rent and

lower vacancy. Portfolio valuations remain materially below replacements costs and benefit from the systemic supply/demand imbalance which is resulting in acceleration of rental growth in GCP's

portfolio locations.

In 2023, GCP continued its proactive approach of strengthening liquidity, reducing refinance risk and maintaining a conservative financial profile with stable LTV ratio. Successful disposals along with proactive repayment of bonds enhanced the liquidity position of the Company, while the strong operational performance and the suspension of the 2022 dividend allowed GCP to maintain an LTV of

37%, remaining broadly stable compared to the 36% as at the end of 2022. During the year, GCP successfully disposed assets amounting to €306 million, at a slight discount to book value of 3%, thereby generating profit over total cost of €72 million and affirming the company's capacity to successfully

dispose properties even in a challenging economic environment.

GCP raised over €550 million of new bank financing in 2023, supporting further its liquidity position. The Company's average cost of debt was 1.9% as at year-end2023, as compared to 1.3% at year-end

2022. GCP decided to raise secured debt, using its large pool of unencumbered assets, with relatively higher cost of debt compared to its existing debt, and significantly lower compared to the current bond

3

market, in order to significantly strengthening its liquidity position and extending the refinancing period

further, thereby significantly reducing the refinancing risk. As of December 2023, GCP had an average debt maturity of 5.3 years and cash and liquid assets of €1.2 billion, which including signed disposals

cover its debt maturities for the next three years, until the end of 2026.

  • FFO I of €184 million in 2023 (1.07 per share), lower by 4% as compared to €192 million in

2. MAIN CONSIDERATIONS OF THE REMUNERATION

The Company's remuneration structure for the executive board members and senior management is

based on fixed and variable compensation and involves long-term and/or short-term incentives. The independent directors' remuneration is based on a fixed amount only. With respect to the variable

remuneration elements, the Policy provides for certain performance related elements to be considered

by the Board of Directors in awarding variable remuneration, including (i) the performance of the price per Company share and (ii) operational performance measured by improvements in the Company's

credit rating, funds-from-operations I per share and EPRA net asset value per share ((i) and (ii) together, the "Key Performance Indicators").

The Company believes that the variable remuneration of the executive board members and the senior management, with an emphasis on share-based remuneration, creates strong personal incentives for the

Company's executives to improve the Key Performance Indicators, resulting in a strong alignment of executives' personal financial interest and the Company's targets with the aims of the Policy. The

Company notes that the variable remuneration granted to its executives (for variable remuneration

granted as of 1 January 2023 or later) is based on the expectation that its executives will generate returns for the Company's shareholders (as measured by the Company's share price performance) that are at least substantially in line with shareholder returns generated by the Company's peers and substantially achieve the Company's annual guidance. The Board of Directors is empowered to adjust executives'

variable remuneration in the event that executives have failed to improve the Key Performance Indicators.

The overall aim of the Company's remuneration structure is to provide a total compensation to motivate

the executive board members and senior management towards the achievement of long-term goals and short-term milestones which support long-termgoals in order to promote the Company's business

strategy, long-term value creation and sustainability. It shall provide adequate compensation in consideration of the responsibilities, competency, commitment, workload, time spent and performance of each individual. The Company aims to ensure that the Company continues to attract and retain those individuals who consistently perform at or above expected levels and contribute to the success of the

Company. The remuneration structure shall further ensure a close link between the interests of the executive management and the interests of the Company's stakeholders.
