COVID-19 RISK MANAGEMENT Government support measures: January February March April May June July August In Estonia, government support for a single affected tenant is capped at 25% of monthly Lithuania rent provided that the landlord gives a rental discount of at least 25%, resulting in minimum savings of 50% to the tenant; In Lithuania, the government implemented Latvia compensation of 50% of the monthly rent if the landlord provides a rental discount of at least 30%, resulting in minimum savings to the tenant of 80%. Compensation is available for the lockdown period and 2 months after; Estonia No rent compensation mechanism for private businesses has yet been announced in Latvia. Pre-quarantine Quarantine Post-quarantine Risk management measures: We have active communication channels with our tenants and property managers who on a regular basis inform us of the measures they are taking to ensure their business continuity. We have agreed on regular updates on tenants‘ performance and any issues in relation to COVID-19; We have approached the developers and construction companies to inform us promptly of any interruptions in the supply chain of materials or any other potential delays in development projects. None have been reported thus far; There is a sufficient liquidity buffer in the form of the cash balance to meet financial obligations in case of worst case scenarios in 2020 including a second lockdown; We are continuously performing stress testing of debt covenants to be able to take any necessary measures in due time; The Management Company has initiated additional measures to protect the key staff of the Fund and ensure continuity: all employees are working remotely, all business travel is suspended, and the succession plan has been reviewed and updated.

The Fund has agreed to grant rent payment deferral for a period of 90 days and waive all penalties and interest arising from the rent deferral for the most affected tenants during April and May. The Fund assessed the impact of COVID-19 on each tenant's operating performance during the lockdown and granted discounts to the most affected tenants, while at the same time protecting the best interests of unitholders and other stakeholders. The Fund’s management team reviewed each rent discount request individually in order to find suitable solutions for all parties. Relief measures granted to tenants helped to improve collection rates during June/July and maintain trade receivables at healthy levels. Page 9
