2 RATIONALE
Strengthen the balance sheet and take advantage of potential market opportunities Recapitalizing the company NSI has expressed to be highly committed to reduce its LtV to below 55% Dutch real estate landscape has changed completely: availability of real estate financing decreased and costs increased, while property values have been declining We have been deleveraging by disposing assets, which also means selling rental income, and retaining dividends to manage our LtV Due to the long lasting crisis, this route has not allowed us to deliver on our commitment to reduce our LtV - the contrary occurred despite our efforts and achievements to dispose assets ( € 86 million in 2012, € 115 million in 2013 YTD) We have a strong operational platform, but financial condition limits our ability to execute our strategy Position largest shareholder complicated the process Currently, we see first signs that investment market is gaining momentum and a returning appetite amongst investors for the Dutch real estate market. This provides a good opportunity to recapitalize the company now We have carefully considered all alternatives available to the company, and are of the opinion that a pre-placement with a group of reputable investors and the remainder underwritten by the banks, is the only ‘deal - certain’ route This transaction enables us to minimize the execution risk and provides certainty of funds within the shortest possible timeframe It creates headroom to seize market opportunities, creating a strong long term basis for all shareholders 6
