The Group invests directly and indirectly in dominant and defensive retail malls located in large and mid-sized western European cities with a strong economic underpin and economic growth. A key component of the Group’s strategy is to evolve and adapt malls to cater for the ever-changing demands of retailers. DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS AND COMMENTARY ON RESULTS Lighthouse achieved 1,14 EUR cents of distributable earnings per share for 2H2023. Together with the 0,62 EUR cents per share achieved for 1H2023, the total distributable earnings was 1,76 EUR cents per share for FY2023. Lighthouse received no distribution from Hammerson plc during 1H2023 and the distribution received during 2H2023 was at a pay- out ratio lower than anticipated. In line with guidance and previous communication to shareholders, distributions for FY2023 have been supplemented from retained earnings, substantially utilising the remaining distributable retained earnings. The Lighthouse board of directors (the “Board”) has declared a final distribution of 1,35 EUR cents per share for 2H2023, payable in cash. The total distribution for FY2023 of 2,70 EUR cents is as per the guidance provided at 1H2023 Shareholders will have the option to elect a scrip distribution instead of cash.

OUTLOOK The macroeconomic landscape continues to improve with inflation abating and short-term interest rates anticipated to decline during 2024. Dominant malls have proven their resilience in recent years and continue to outperform most other property sectors. Lighthouse’s LTV remains low (currently c. 27%) and its availability of capital allows the Company to take advantage of attractive opportunities currently available in the market. The current phase of the economic cycle represents an ideal time for companies to acquire malls, as yields on quality assets have risen, interest rates have stabilised and, due to the consolidation of key retailers, the cash flow of quality dominant malls has further improved. With two substantial acquisitions already achieved, 2024 will be a transitory year for Lighthouse as it takes advantage of the current situation to further grow its direct portfolio with quality assets. This transition will however bring short-term challenges regarding the timing and implementation of acquisitions. Lighthouse forecasts a distribution of 2,40 to 2,50 EUR cents per share for FY2024. The distribution is based on the following assumptions: − No material change in the current macroeconomic environment. − No unforeseen failures of large national retailers. − Primark takes beneficial occupation of its new premises at H2O and the transaction is effective from 31 March 2024. − No further acquisitions or disposals of investment properties or listed investments. − Hammerson plc declaring a minimum dividend of 0,66 GBP pence per share for 1H2024. − No material movement in long-term interest rates prior to taking transfer of H2O.
