Unless specifically otherwise indicated, all performance information presented herein is calculated on a "gross" basis without giving effect to management fees, carried interest fees, transaction costs and other expenses to be borne by investors, which will reduce returns and in the aggregate may be substantial.

Statements contained in the Report that are not historical facts (such as those relating to current and future market conditions and trends in respect thereof) are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, opinions and/or beliefs of Meridia. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and undue reliance should not be placed thereon.

Due to various risks and uncertainties, actual events or results, including the actual performance of the Vehicle, may differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in such forward- looking statements.

Nothing contained in this Report may be relied upon as a guarantee, promise, forecast or representation as to future events or result and thus no representation is made or assurance given that the above-mentioned statements, views, projections or forecasts are correct or that the objectives of the Vehicle will be achieved.

It is expressly pointed out that Meridia's valuations of unrealized investments are based on assumptions that Meridia believes are reasonable under the circumstances and, consequently, the actual realized returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the valuations used in the performance data contained herein are based. Accordingly, the actual realized returns on these unrealized investments may differ materially from the returns indicated herein.

At market level:

  • From a market standpoint, the Spanish economy has experienced a significant improvement in 2023 and is expected to sustain growth into 2024. With stabilized inflation, heightened competitiveness, and restored confidence, the economic outlook remains promising. Building upon robust performances in 2023 (2.4%) and 2023 (5.8%), the projected GDP growth for Spain in 2024 stands at 1.7% - moderate but certainly above the European average. The European Central Bank (ECB) currently indicates no imminent plans for substantial interest rate reductions. Consequently, the mortgage market in Spain is expected to remain tight, serving as key factor for constraining property prices.
