[PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] Warning In light of the financial position of the Company and of the Group, this „Warning‟ section contains certain information considered to be important in order for investors to understand the context of and risk involved in the operation. For more detailed information on risk factors pertaining to the Issuer please see Chapter III, Risk Factors, in this Registration Document. Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 and the definition of working capital – as “an Issuer’s ability to access cash and other available liquid resources in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due” – contained in the ESMA/2013/319 Recommendations, the Issuer declares that on the Date of the Registration Document, the Group does not have sufficient working capital to meet its total net financial requirement for the 12 months following the Date of the Registration Document of approximately €73.98 million. In order to cover the above amount, the Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of the Capital Increase, which, in the event of full subscription, net of approximately €94.77 million used for the Property Acquisition, are estimated at around €100.93 million, net of the ancillary costs of the operation. If the Capital Increase is successful, the Group intends to: (i) have recourse to short-term revocable lines of credit, already granted to the Company for a total of €266 million, at the Date of the Registration Document, €221.37 million is available; or (ii) since the Group owns properties free from any encumbrances with a total value of around €360.69 million (of which 51.93% relating to Real Estate Assets in Italy and 48.07% to Real Estate Assets in Romania), to use these properties as security for financial transactions which, at the Date of the Registration Document, have not yet been subject to a resolution by the Issuer's Board of Directors. The above- mentioned financial transactions could lead to an increase in the cost of debt with a consequent negative impact on the Group‟s economic and financial position. Finally, if necessary to reduce the total net financial requirement, the Company could also take further measures by rescheduling the timing of investments planned. Without prejudice to the above matters, if the Capital Increase is not fully subscribed and/or if the Company were unable to complete successfully, in a short time period, the currently planned additional initiatives to cover the Group‟s net financial requirement for the 12 months following the Date of the Registration Document, the Company might not have sufficient cash flows available for the immediate needs of its activities, which might therefore be affected by this, with resulting adverse effects on the Group‟s economic results and financial and capital position.
