with preference shares listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. PPG is subject to and endeavors to comply with the corporate governance recommendations and obligations stipulated in the Norwegian Public Limited Liabilities Companies Act, the Norwegian Accounting Act, the Transparency Act, Norwegian securities legislation and the continuing obligations for companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (available at www.lovdata.noand https://www.euronext.com/nb/markets/oslo).

PPG strives to maintain high confidence with its investors, customers, and the society in general, and therefore actively adheres to good corporate governance.

1. Implementation and reporting on corporate governance

This report provides an overview of the Company's implementation of corporate governance. The report is in compliance with the reporting standards pursuant to Section 3-3b of the Norwegian Accounting Act and is based on the recommendations stipulated in the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance dated 14 October 2021 (the "Code", available at www.nues.no). The report is made available at the Company's headquarter at Rådhusgata 23, Oslo, Norway, and is published on the Company's website www.pioneerproperty.no.

The report shall be considered by PPG's Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). The Company's auditor ("Auditor") reviews the report's compliance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and the Auditor's review is included in the Auditor's report of PPG's Annual Report.

PPG is in compliance with the Code, with the exception of the following deviation identified by the Board of Directors:

• Section 9: The entire Board of Directors acts as the Company's audit committee. For efficiency reasons, and as a result of the scope of PPG's operations, which is limited compared to other stock exchange listed companies, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that it is both appropriate and practical that the Board of Directors acts as the audit committee of the Company.

2. Business

According to PPG's articles of association, PPG's business is to invest in real estate and related business, as well as investments in securities and other assets. The Company's strategy is to acquire, own and to develop properties in the Nordic region.

The ultimate goal for PPG's business is to achieve maximum growth in equity per share, so that the shareholders of the Company in a long-term perspective, achieve a return that is competitive in comparison to other investment opportunities. It is important for PPG that value and growth is created in a sustainable way, and the Company therefore always strives for this to be the case.

Furthermore, PPG has established guidelines for how considerations related to other

stakeholders shall be integrated into its value creation. These guidelines are further described in the report on social responsibility included below.

In addition to the above-mentioned objective and strategy, the Board of Directors defines clear risk profiles for the Company's business. The Board of Directors evaluates the objectives, strategies and risk profiles on an annual basis.

3. Equity and dividends

PPG operates in a capital-intensive business, where the choice of financial strategy is of material importance. A crucial element is the ambition to maintain a solid financial position, characterized by a solid equity ratio and substantial liquidity reserves. The Company's strategy shall contribute to reduce financial risk while maintaining financial flexibility to execute attractive investment opportunities and the Board of Directors shall ensure that PPG's capital structure is appropriate to these objectives and the strategy and risk profile of the Company.

The Board of Directors proposes shareholder dividends to the AGM. The AGM cannot approve a dividend higher than proposed by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors wants to maintain a conservative dividend policy harmonized with PPG's long-term investment plans and ambitions of a high equity ratio and strong liquidity. The Company's preference shares are secured predictable dividends through the Articles of Association, and the ordinary shares may receive dividends if there is sufficient profitability and liquidity.

The general meeting can grant mandates to the Board of Directors to increase the Company's share capital or to purchase own shares which, in general, shall have a defined purpose and be limited in time to the date of the next AGM.

Any transactions which PPG carries out in its own shares shall be carried out either through the stock exchange or at prevailing stock exchange prices if carried out in any other way. If there is limited liquidity in the Company's shares, the Company should consider other ways to ensure equal treatment of all shareholders.

5. Shares and negotiability

The shares in PPG are freely transferable. PPG's preference shares have a voting weight of 1/10 compared to the voting right of the ordinary shares as stipulated in the Articles of Association.

There is no form of restriction on any party's ability to own, trade or vote for shares in the Company.

The nomination committee proposes to the general meeting candidates to be elected to the Board of Directors and the nomination committee as well as the fees to be paid to the members of the Board of Directors and the nomination committee. The nomination committee should justify its proposal on each candidate separately. PPG shall provide information on the membership of the committee and any deadlines for proposing candidates.

PPG is an investment company focusing on real estate and its main operation consists of investing in and providing high-quality properties, which can be divided into the following sub- groups: (i) Preschools, (ii) Retail Properties, (iii) Hotel Properties, (iv) Development Properties and (v) Office Properties.

Based on the nature of the Company's business, the Company is considered to have limited impact on the external environment as well as several other aspects of social responsibility such as human rights and decent working conditions, compared to other enterprises operating in industries with high-impact operations.

To ensure human rights and decent working conditions, PPG regularly carries out human rights due diligence assessments. In connection with the due diligence process PPG has sent questionnaires to its suppliers and business partners with questions relevant under the Transparency Act. Based on the due diligence process PPG has not identified any actual adverse impacts nor significant risks for such. However, PPG will continue to carry out risk assessments and review its business operations, suppliers and business partners.

Specifically, the Company has over the last year evaluated the energy consumption on almost all properties, as well as mapped potential actions to reduce the energy consumption. The first properties have already been upgraded with new equipment and/or improved constructions in order to reduce energy consumption. Additional properties will undergo this treatment in the next year.

Diversity, gender equality and equal opportunities are an integrated part of the Company's personnel policy.

suppliers and business partners. According to this clause contract parties are obliged to respect and ensure fundamental human rights and decent working conditions, and provide PPG with information regarding adverse impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions and significant risks for such.

The work with corporate social responsibility is important for the entire business of PPG as it represents the Company's core values and provides the fundament for long-term sustainability.
