SWEF Completes Loan Asset Realisation Ahead of Schedule

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited announced the repayment of its final loan investment tied to an office portfolio in Spain, marking the completion of its orderly realisation process initiated in January 2023. This conclusion comes significantly ahead of the anticipated four to five-year timeline. Since the process began, £376 million has been returned to shareholders, equating to 91% of the 31 January 2023 NAV and 104% of the market capitalisation from 27 January 2023.

Ahead of the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) scheduled for 27 February 2026, the Group has initiated steps for a voluntary winding up of the Company. Trading of shares will be suspended on the EGM date. If approved, Stuart Gardner and Richard Barker are set to be appointed as joint liquidators to oversee the winding-up process, which includes an initial distribution to shareholders.
