                 Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited

                                        

                      Repayment of Final Loan Investment;

                Orderly Realisation of Loan Assets Now Complete

                                        

                                         

   Starwood European  Real  Estate  Finance Limited  (the  “Company”  or  the
   “Group”) is delighted to announce  that its final loan investment  secured
   against an office portfolio in Spain (Office Portfolio, Spain) has repaid.

    

   This final loan  investment was  equivalent to 100  per cent  of the  last
   reported outstanding funded portfolio and upon its repayment, the  orderly
   realisation process the Group began in January 2023 is complete. 

    

   John Whittle, Chairman of the Company commented:

   “We are pleased to announce the last investment has been repaid concluding
   the orderly realisation begun in  January 2023 significantly ahead of  the
   initial guidance that the realisation would take place over a four to five
   year  period.  During  that  time,   £376  million  has  been  repaid   to
   shareholders to date (representing 91% of the 31 January 2023 NAV and 104%
   of the 27 January 2023 market capitalisation), while continuing  quarterly
   dividend payments to shareholders. On behalf of the Board, I would like to
   say to our shareholders:  thank you for your  support as we conclude  this
   process.”

    

   On 13  February  2026,  the  Group published  a  Circular  and  notice  of
   Extraordinary General Meeting (the “EGM”) to  be held on 27 February  2026
   for the purpose of  proposing a vote  on the voluntary  winding up of  the
   Company. The Company’s shares will be  suspended from trading on the  Main
   Market of the London Stock  Exchange at 7.30 a.m.  on 27 February 2026  in
   advance of the EGM. A copy of  the Circular is available on the  Company’s
   website at  1 https://starwoodeuropeanfinance.com and  has been  submitted
   to the National Storage  Mechanism, where it  is available for  inspection
   at  2 https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. In addition,
   a copy of the proxy voting form  is available on the Company’s website  as
   detailed above.

    

   Conditional on the approval of the voluntary winding up by Shareholders at
   the EGM, the Board proposes  to appoint Stuart Gardner and Richard  Barker
   of Ernst & Young LLP, Royal Chambers, St. Julians Avenue, St. Peter  Port,
   Guernsey, GY1  4AF  as the  joint  liquidators of  the  Company  (together
   the “Joint Liquidators”). The  Board will continue  to manage the  Company
   pending the commencement of the voluntary winding up. All of the Directors
   (other than John Whittle) are expected to resign their office with  effect
   from the appointment of the Joint Liquidators.

    

   If appointed,  the  Joint Liquidators  would  expect to  make  an  initial
   distribution, in an amount to be  determined by the Joint liquidators,  as
   soon as practicable after the commencement of the voluntary winding up.
