PART A

BUSINESS & MARKET OVERVIEW UPDATE

1. INTRODUCTION

MIDI plc was established in 1992 as a private consortium and was admitted to listing on the Malta Stock Exchange in December 2010. In June 2000, MIDI acquired the emphyteutic rights to the land at Tigné Point (Sliema) and Manoel Island (Gzira) from the Government of Malta for a period of 99 years. Tigné Point is one of the largest residential, commercial and leisure property development projects in Malta to date.

MIDI AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES (THE "GROUP")

MIDI is the holding company of the Group, as sole shareholder (directly or indirectly) of Tigné Contracting Limited ("TCL") and T14 Investments Limited ("T14L").

TIGNÉ CONTRACTING LIMITED

Tigné Contracting Limited was established in Malta on 10 July 2001 as a private limited liability company. TCL serves as the Group's main contractor to execute the construction and development of Tigné Point and Manoel Island. As such, the majority of contracts with third party contractors are entered into through this company.

T14 INVESTMENTS LIMITED AND MID KNIGHT HOLDINGS LIMITED

T14 Investments Limited was established in Malta on 21 February 2014 as a private limited liability company. During that same year, T14IL entered a joint venture with Benny Holdings Limited - Mid Knight Holdings Limited - that developed, manages and owns (save for two floors) the business centre (known as The Centre) located at Tigné Point.

SOLUTION & INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES LIMITED

Until October 2023, Solution & Infrastructure Services Limited ("SIS") was a full-owned subsidiary of MIDI plc, established in Malta on 5 June 2006 as a private limited liability company. The company was initially set up as a joint venture between MIDI and Siemens S.p.A. On 14 September 2015, MIDI acquired the remaining 50% shareholding owned by Siemens S.p.A.

The principal operations of SIS were focused on the operation of an HVAC centralised system which consists of the provision of heating and cooling to various residential and commercial components at Tigné Point. Apart from HVAC, SIS continues to provide access control services at Tigné Point.

During 2023, SIS was merged into MIDI plc, and its operations are now being undertaken by the Company.

2. KEY OPERATIONAL ASSETS AND DEVELOPMENTS

TIGNÉ POINT

Tigné Point is a residential, commercial and leisure development located in Sliema. The development comprises 442 residential units (including the upcoming development known as Q3, which will consist of 63 units) complemented by office facilities, a shopping mall, parking facilities and Pjazza Tigné which also includes commercial and leisure outlets. The project places a strong emphasis on the restoration of historic sites including Fort Tigné, the Garden Battery, St. Luke's Garrison Chapel, army barracks and the clock tower. All traffic is routed underground, providing a car-free zone at ground floor level and extensive green areas and public spaces. These attributes make it a unique development for Malta in many respects.

THE CENTRE

The joint venture between MIDI (through T14IL) and a third-party investor in 2014 - Mid Knight Holdings Limited - was established to carry out the construction and development of the T14 Business Centre, now known as The Centre, which was completed in 2017. The Centre is fully owned by Mid Knight Holdings Limited save for two floors which were sold during FY2017 and FY2023, respectively. The remaining owned floors are rented out to third parties with quasi full occupancy levels maintained throughout the years.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Q3

Development works on the final development at Tigné Point known as Q3 - Fortress Gardens commenced during the course of 2022. Civil works on the residential block of 63 apartments complimented with underlying car parking have been completed. Moreover, finishing works (including mechanical and engineering works)

Financial Analysis Summary 2024

and façade works are progressing well and are in line with the expected timelines. In January 2023, the Company launched all 63 apartments to the market, and these were positively received as more than 80% of the units are currently subject to a promise of sale agreement. This development is expected to be completed by mid-2025, with delivery of same to prospective owners planned for the second half of 2025.

DEVELOPMENTS ON THE MANOEL ISLAND PROJECT

During FY2023, the Company continued to focus on the Manoel Island project in connection with the following aspects:

  1. discussion with Government regarding the specific remedies available in the Deed of Emphyteusis entered into 15 June 2000 to mitigate the impact of the reduction in development volumes (from 127,000 square metres to 95,000 square metres) following the discovery of archaeological finds on site;
  2. the appeal lodged by third-parties at the Court of Appeal objecting to the decision by the
    Environment and Planning Review Tribunal ("EPRT") to reject the appeal to the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") by the Environmental and Resources Authority ("ERA"). On 10 May 2023, the Court of Appeal issued its judgement whereby it did not uphold the third party's appeal. As a result, the EIA and Outline Development Permit are now confirmed;
  3. continuing discussions with AC Enterprises Limited (C 49755) as both parties explore the possibility of establishing a joint venture with regards to the Manoel Island development. Although significant progress has been made in these discussions, no transaction has been concluded as at the date of the report; and
  4. continued works on a detailed design process which led to the submission of a full development application for the Manoel Island development (PA/01053/23) in December 2022. The Planning Board deferred a public hearing (that was held on 14 May 2024) as it deemed desirable to commission a Heritage Impact Assessment ("HIA") given that Manoel Island lies within the proposed buffer zone for the Valletta World Heritage Site. Whilst the Company is confident that the Manoel Island development will not impact the heritage status of Valletta, a decision on the full development application is now expected in the second half of this year following the completion and submission of the HIA.

4. MARKET OVERVIEW

THE PROPERTY MARKET

The construction and real estate industries have traditionally been key drivers of growth for the local economy. Moreover, the positive correlation between the performances of the local economy and the construction and real estate industry has been particularly evident over the years. These have been mainly fuelled by favourable local and external macroeconomic dynamics as well as various initiatives (including fiscal incentives) by the Government of Malta aimed at boosting the overall level of public and private investment, regenerate business/retail and consumer confidence, and increase the participation and relocation of numerous foreigners and foreign companies opting to reside and do business in Malta.

THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKET IN MALTA

Following the disruption in the momentum that was building in the local economy caused by COVID-19, data indicates that the construction and real estate industry has since reembarked on a growth trajectory.
