New Berlin Rent Index.

The Company welcomes the release by The Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Housing of a new transitional Berlin Rent Index ("the Index.")

Announced on 15 June 2023, the Index replaces the previous rent index 2021 and applies until a new qualified rent index is published in the first half of 2024. On average, the Index represents an increase in rental values of 5.4% versus 2021.

Where applicable, the Company will be notifying qualifying tenants of any adjustments to future monthly rental payments. Although the Index is not the primary driver of PSD's rent growth, it is anticipated that it will be accretive to rental income in the second half of the financial year.

Interim Portfolio valuation and business update.

As in previous years, the Company expects to announce its interim portfolio valuation and business update in early August.
