Aareal Bank provides EUR567 million refinancing for pan-European hotel
portfolio for Archer Hotel Capital

Wiesbaden, 1 April 2025 - Aareal Bank AG is pleased to announce the
successful closing of a EUR567 million, cross-collateralised pan-European
facility to refinance a portfolio of seven hotels in four different European
countries for Archer Hotel Capital. This landmark transaction highlights
Aareal Bank's expertise in hospitality financing and cross border
transactions as well as its commitment to observing ambitious ESG standards.

Archer Hotel Capital is the joint investment vehicle of Singapore's
sovereign wealth fund GIC and APG, a subsidiary of Stichting Pensioenfonds
ABP, the Dutch pension fund. Archer has been a valued partner of Aareal Bank
since the inception of Archer in 2018. Over the years, Aareal Bank has
financed various assets for Archer through multiple facilities.

The loan refinances seven premier hotel properties across Europe: Royal
Saint-Honoré Paris and Renaissance Paris Vendôme; Renaissance La Défense
Paris; Renaissance Amsterdam; Hilton Schiphol Airport; Conrad Dublin; and
Sheraton Stockholm.

Together, these properties constitute a well-diversified portfolio of over
2,000 rooms in prime locations within their respective markets. Archer Hotel
Capital self manages most of the assets in the portfolio under Marriott
franchises and two assets are managed by Hilton International.

Archer is committed to building a high quality, environmentally and socially
responsible hotel portfolio in Europe. This financing will fund ESG-focused
capital expenditures dedicated to achieving the highest possible
sustainability accreditations for the majority of the assets in the
portfolio. This milestone further solidifies Aareal Bank's leadership in
ESG-driven financing solutions for the luxury hospitality sector.

Bettina Graef-Parker, Managing Director Special Property Finance at Aareal
Bank, commented: "We are proud to strengthen our long-term partnership with
Archer Hotel Capital with this complex transaction. We are particularly
pleased to support our valued client in unlocking lasting value by carrying
out asset improvements with a strong focus on ESG considerations. By
integrating ESG criteria into the financing structure, we support the
sustainable development of prime hotel assets in major European cities."

Matt Tanner, CFO of Archer Hotel Capital, noted: "Our long-standing
partnership with Aareal Bank is built on trust, expertise, and a shared
vision for the future of hospitality. Their deep understanding of the sector
across multiple European markets has been instrumental in supporting our
commitment to sustainable growth and long-term value creation. This
milestone deal will enhance our capability to operate hospitality assets at
high ESG standards."

Aareal Bank acted as the arranger, facility agent, and security agent for
this transaction. Legal and valuation advisors included DLA Piper UK LLP,
DLA Piper Ireland LLP, Van Doorne, Cirio Advokatbyrå AB, De Pardieu Brocas
Maffei, Allez & Associés, and HVS.
