SCHEDULE 1

AMENDMENTS TO THE RISK FACTORS

The risk factors set out in the Offering Circular in the Section entitled "Risk Factors" on pages 17 to 70 of the Offering Circular shall be amended as follows:

  1. The sub-sectionentitled "The GCP Group is dependent on demographic and economic developments in Germany and regional market conditions in areas where its properties are primarily located, in particular in North Rhine-Westphalia, Berlin and the metropolitan areas of Dresden/Leipzig/Halle as well as in London." of the section "Risks Relating to the Real Estate Market" on pages 17 to 19 of the Offering Circular shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

"The GCP Group is dependent on demographic and economic developments in Germany and regional market conditions in areas where its properties are primarily located, in particular in North Rhine-Westphalia, Berlin and the metropolitan areas of Dresden/Leipzig/Halle as well as in London.

The Issuer is a specialist real estate company focused on investing in and managing value-add opportunities predominantly in densely populated areas in the German residential real estate market as well as in London. As of 31 December 2023, the GCP Group's portfolio, excluding assets held for sale properties and properties under development, comprised 63,303 units primarily located in North Rhine-Westphalia ("NRW"), Germany's largest federal state and the cities of Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Halle, Nuremberg, Munich, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Mainz, Bremen, Hamburg and London. By fair value, the GCP Group holds 21% of its portfolio in NRW, 23% in Berlin and 14% in Dresden, Leipzig and Halle as well as significant holdings in other major cities such as Mannheim, Frankfurt and Mainz, Nuremberg-Fürth, Munich, Bremen and Hamburg in Germany and 19% in London in the UK. Accordingly, the GCP Group's business activities are affected by numerous demographic, economic and political factors. In particular, the economic developments in and related to the residential property market in Germany and in its regional sub-markets are of significant importance for the GCP Group's business and future prospects. These developments play a decisive role in determining property prices, rent levels, turnover and vacancy rates and may vary significantly across Germany and within regional sub-markets.

As of the date of this Offering Circular, numerous factors are contributing to considerable economic uncertainty. The Russian military invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has already had a negative effect on both European and global markets and led to a high degree of uncertainty (see also "The GCP Group's business may be negatively affected by the geopolitical situation involving Russia and Ukraine.").

In addition, the outbreak and continuing repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 have continued to negatively impact the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels (see also "Risks related to the COVID-19pandemic."). In Europe, the most recent changes to monetary policy, renewed doubts about the future of the Eurozone, political uncertainty arising from populist movements, insufficient deleveraging in the private and public sectors, a halt in implementing structural and financial reforms, and an elevated level of political uncertainty could adversely affect the GCP Group's operations.

In Germany, an aging society and other demographic changes are expected to reduce the size of the overall population. At the same time, the number of households is expected to increase while the average household size is expected to decrease. Therefore, a population decline might not have a significant influence on the demand for residential real estate in general if there are sufficient offsetting increases in the number of households and/or the amount of space required per person. However, the number of households and the amount of space required per person might not increase to the extent projected or at all. In addition, if the population begins to decline at a faster rate than expected, and the number of households and average amount of space required per person does not increase or increases more slowly than expected, demand for residential units may decline.

8

Demographic forecasts for large and fast-growing cities in Germany deviate from forecasts for less densely populated areas, and it is expected that the demographics of urban and rural areas will continue to grow further apart. A declining population in rural areas will likely result in decreased demand in the respective housing markets and in an oversupply of housing. This trend of high vacancies affects cities and municipalities in the eastern part of Germany as well as regions in the western part facing structural problems. Conversely, it is expected that big cities in Germany will continue to attract national and international migration. In these areas, the number of households could grow significantly in the medium term due to population gains and the trend towards smaller household sizes.

A decline in the population in the markets in which the GCP Group holds properties, which is not counterbalanced by a rising number of households or an increase of the average amount of space needed, would lead to lower demand, and, as a result, may adversely affect the GCP Group's ability to achieve higher occupancy rates and average rent levels. Economic developments, such as local employment conditions in these locations, or in case of a significant decline of the income or liquidity situation of the respective tenants, may also lead to losses with respect to rental income. In addition to the loss of rent, the GCP Group could also be exposed to increased vacancies. In such circumstances the GCP Group may not be able to re-let the properties on attractive terms or might only be able to do so after making additional investment.

In terms of fair value, approximately 44% of the GCP Group's properties held as of 31 December 2023 were located in NRW and Berlin. Thus, there is also a dependence on the general macroeconomic developments of these regions. The economic conditions throughout NRW differ substantially from region to region. For example, the Ruhr region is still facing structural challenges following the decline of the coal and steel industry, while the neighbouring Rhineland is one of the strongest economic areas in Germany. Berlin also faces challenges to the economic and demographic developments in certain parts of the city. The same applies to other densely populated areas in Germany. Approximately 19% of the GCP Group's properties were located in London as of 31 December 2023 and include mainly newly built and renovated units as well as social housing units. The economic climate in London is dependent not only on the broader economic developments in the UK, but also on economic developments in the EU as well as the eventual outcome of the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (see "The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union may cause significant political and economic uncertainty in the European Union, potentially limiting access to debt and equity financing for the GCP Group and resulting in defaults by the GCP Group's counterparties."). Thus, the GCP Group is not only dependent on general economic and demographic developments in Germany, but also on the particular circumstances in the other regions and areas where the GCP Group's properties are located.

While the GCP Group has taken steps to absorb the effects of the expected changing economic and demographic conditions, in particular through the repositioning of units, as well as the targeted modernisation of its properties to comply with the expectations of its tenants, the GCP Group may nevertheless be negatively affected by unfavourable economic and demographic developments in Germany, or in the regional sub-markets and other areas where its properties are located.

These economic and demographic developments have an impact on the demand for properties owned by the GCP Group, rent levels and the solvency of its tenants. Thus, these factors have a significant impact on vacancy levels, results from operations of the GCP Group and the value of its properties. Negative developments in the indicators discussed above, the dependency of the GCP Group on macro-economic factors beyond its control and any misjudgement, miscalculation or failure or inability to react to such developments may have a material adverse effect on the business, net assets, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the GCP Group."

  1. The sub-sectionentitled "The GCP Group's business may be negatively affected by the geopolitical situation involving Russia and Ukraine" of the section "Risks Relating to the Real Estate Market" on page 19 of the Offering Circular shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

9

"The GCP Group's business may be negatively affected by the geopolitical situation involving Russia and

Ukraine.

The Russian military invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 ("Russia-UkraineWar") has already had a negative effect on both European and global markets and led to a high degree of uncertainty. The further development of the Russia-Ukraine War as well as its long-term repercussions on the global economy and markets are still unclear and may result in a severe decline in growth of the overall economy. The sanctions imposed against Russia have resulted in a significant disruption of gas supplies to the EU and could lead to further unpredictable reactions from Russia. Germany has made efforts to replace Russian gas with other sources of gas. However, this has resulted in a significant increase in gas and energy prices in Germany and could result in shortages of energy supplies. This may further contribute to the currently high levels of overall inflation, a decline of the overall economy and widespread unemployment.

Although the GCP Group is not directly impacted by the Russia-Ukraine War, as neither its portfolio nor its operations have direct exposure to Ukraine or Russia, inflationary pressures have increased, specifically heating and energy costs, which could have an impact on the operating costs of the GCP Group. Such pressures may also have an impact on the ability of the GCP Group's tenants to pay rent and/or for the GCP Group to recover expenses from tenants. Furthermore, higher levels of inflation have impacted bond yields, while increased volatility in the capital markets have reduced the GCP Group's ability to raise capital at attractive prices, resulting in an increase in its cost of capital and potentially limiting its growth opportunities.

The large number of refugees entering Germany and the European Union is likely to result in increased strain on the residential real estate market in Germany. This may further exacerbate the supply and demand mismatch, increase political pressure for home construction and lead to higher utilisation of already limited construction capacity, which may result in increased construction costs and delays, particularly in the event of a prolonged Russia-Ukraine War. The full impact of the Russia-Ukraine War are currently still unclear and will depend significantly on its duration and final outcome as well as the distribution of refugees across the European Union.

Continued escalation may result in other countries joining the conflict and at this stage the Issuer is unable to assess the full impact of such a scenario on the GCP Group, and the likelihood of its occurrence."

  1. The sub-sectionentitled "An increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the real estate markets in which the GCP Group operates." of the section "Risks Relating to the Real Estate Market" on pages 20 to 21 of the Offering Circular shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

"An increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the real estate markets in which the GCP

Group operates.

The low interest rate environment over the past decade has generally benefitted the Eurozone economies and supported the demand for real estate, including commercial and residential real estate, due to the resulting availability of inexpensive financing. The benign interest rate environment has also had a positive impact on real estate valuations, as it tends to result in an increase of the value of future cash flows. As inflation levels rose through the disruption of supply chains and the Russia-Ukraine War in early 2022, the European Central Bank raised interest rate levels numerous times in 2022 and 2023 to a rate of 4.5%, increasing the deposit facility rate to 4.0% as of September 2023, whereas prior to July 2022 the deposit facility rate had been negative since 2014. This is expected to lead to a rise in interest rates in Germany and throughout the Eurozone and could result in a decrease in the attractiveness of real estate investments, resulting in lower demand for real estate and broad declines in real estate valuations, among other effects. This could further lead to an increased default on loan repayments, which could also cause banks to increase their interest rates. An increase in interest rates could adversely impact the GCP Group's business in a number of ways, including:

  • The discount rate used to calculate the value of the GCP Group's properties recorded on the Issuer's balance sheet in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") IAS 40 tends to increase in an environment of rising interest rates, which in turn could result in the GCP Group's properties having a lower fair value.
