AUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2024

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

MAS (hereafter referred to as the Group or Company) performed satisfactorily during the second half of the financial
year ended 30 June 2024, achieving adjusted distributable earnings for the year of 8.01eurocents per share, resulting
from the continued exceptional operational results in commercial retail properties operated by the Group, combined
with net results from the residential business of the development joint venture (DJV(1)) with developer Prime Kapital.

With the release of MAS' financial results for the financial year to 30 June 2023, the outcome of the Group's strategy
review at the time was discussed in detail. A revised debt management plan was put in place to raise bank funding
secured against all of MAS' unencumbered properties in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) aimed at reducing
refinancing risks associated with its bond maturity in May 2026. The plan also takes into account MAS' other funding
commitments to the same date, as well as suspension of dividend payments to cover the shortfall. Updates with
respect to progress thereon, as well as financial results to 30 June 2024 are elaborated in detail within. In addition to
the reported International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) results, this commentary also includes segmental
reporting prepared on a proportionate consolidated basis, which assists the interpretation of the former rather than
replacing it. Detailed financial results and the Company Profile, for the year ended 30 June 2024, including highlights
and supplemental operational information, are available on MAS' corporate website. Unless otherwise stated, all
amounts in the Directors' commentary are presented on an adjusted proportionate consolidated basis.

MAS primarily invests in, and operates, retail assets in CEE. The Group is well positioned to leverage the region's
long-term, continual, high growth in consumption and generate strong like-for-like (LFL) net rental income (NRI)
growth from retail holdings through increasing tenants' sales and implementing asset management initiatives. MAS
remains committed to maximising total long-term returns from property investments on a per share basis. This is
aimed to be achieved by concentrating on capital allocation, operational excellence, sensible leveraging, and cost
efficiency, thereby sustainably growing distributable earnings per share.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Group adjusted total earnings are, on a segmented basis, the combined return of: (i) directly-owned income property
and operations in CEE; (ii) Central and Eastern European investments with Prime Kapital in the DJV (including
earnings from a proportion of completed DJV-owned income properties, net income from DJV's residential business,
development activities and income from funding provided to the DJV); (iii) the remaining directly-owned income
property operations in Western Europe (WE), and (iv) investments in listed securities and other elements disclosed
as Corporate.

Adjusted total earnings for the six months to 30 June 2024 were EUR63.9million and consisted of adjusted distributable
earnings of EUR20.7million and adjusted non-distributable earnings of EUR43.2million. Tangible net asset value (NAV)
was EUR1.73 per share on 30 June 2024, an 8.1% increase from 31 December 2023 (19.3% increase from Tangible
NAV on 30 June 2023). Adjusted distributable earnings for the financial year were 8.01eurocents per share (10.3%
decrease compared to financial year to 30 June 2023) and resulted from 3.22eurocents per share for the six
months to 30 June 2024 and 4.79eurocents per share for the preceding six months. MAS achieved diluted adjusted
distributable earnings for the financial year of 7.87eurocents per share. Of this, commercial and corporate operations
contributed 9.63eurocents per share. Excluding DJV's residential business net realisable value impairments,
adjusted distributable earnings from the Group's operations were 9.19eurocents per share, within the earnings
guidance range of 8.83-9.31eurocents per share provided in March 2024.

The variance in MAS' adjusted total earnings compared to the six months to 31 December 2023, is due to positive
outcomes arising from:

(i)   continued outstanding performance of, and increase in, fair value and passing NRI from retail properties in
      CEE, enhanced by excellent rental and service charge collections and exceptional trading at commercial centres
      operated by MAS, partly attributable to the newly opened Carolina Mall (August 2023) and Arges Mall (April 2024);
(ii)  interest rate derivatives' valuations for the Group's secured debt stabilising in the second half of the financial
      year, therefore not repeating losses in the previous six-month period, leading to a positive variation more than
      offsetting increases in net interest expenses (increased interest on debt financing and lower interest capitalised
      on developments as a result of Carolina Mall and Arges Mall completing development during the financial year
      and a number of residential projects being on hold) for the six months to 30 June 2024;
(iii) lower fair value losses than recognised in the previous period resulting from Flensburg Galerie, the last Western
      European asset remaining to be sold, as well as foreign exchange gains related to the disposal of Arches street
      retail units (UK), and
(iv)  increased income from preferred equity, resulting from additional investments during the current and previous
      six-month periods.

These positives have been offset by (i) gains in the previous period resulting from the removal of management's
estimate for disposal realisation costs and losses for Western European assets remaining to be sold, not being
repeated, (ii) net losses derived from the DJV's residential business caused by the continuing challenging residential
sales market environment requiring the DJV to recognise a significant decrease in net realisable value for its
residential projects, (iii) realised gains on MAS bonds repurchased during the six months to 31 December 2023 not
being repeated in the current six-month period.

RETAIL OPERATIONS

There was excellent trading in all Central and Eastern European countries where the Group operates retail properties
during the first six months of the 2024 calendar year, with all the Group's properties benefiting from robust footfall
and tenant sales.

Information regarding MAS' Central and Eastern European like-for-like (LFL) footfall and tenants' sales (compared
to the same period of the previous financial year), and collection rates for the six months to 30 June 2024, is detailed
in Table 1.

Footfall (LFL) performance was satisfactory for the six months to 30 June 2024, increasing 6% compared to the same
period in the previous year, confirming the continued robust demand for the Group's retail offering.

Overall, LFL tenants' sales outperformed levels achieved in the six-month period to 30 June 2023 by 8% in
open-air malls and 6% in enclosed malls. Certain categories, services, home appliances, health and beauty, shoes,
toys and food service have delivered impressive results, surpassing the overall growth trend during the six months to
30 June 2024, with complements, clothing and DIY categories also continuing to outperform during the six months
to 30 June 2024.

Passing NRI increased significantly, by 8.7% compared to 31 December 2023 and by 16.6% compared to 30 June 2023.
Over half of the improvement is attributable to new developments becoming operational during the financial year
(Carolina Mall in August 2023, and Arges Mall in April 2024), with the balance of improvement being attributable to
exceptional operational performance of standing assets, and delivering passing NRI increases on a LFL basis by 7.2%
compared to 30 June 2023.

Tenants' excellent sales performance underpinned both the stability of occupancy cost ratios (OCR) (excluding
certain tenant categories: supermarkets, DIYs, entertainment, and services), at 10.6% on 30 June 2024 (10.7% on
31 December 2023), as well as exceptional collection rates at over 99.8% for the entire six-month period.

In addition, occupancy of Central and Eastern European retail assets continues to be impressive at 97.4% (97.7%
on 31 December 2023). The Group's occupancy with respect to CEE retail assets on a LFL basis increased during
the financial year to 98.2% on 30 June 2024 (97.4% on 30 June 2023), and leasing efforts to sustainably increase
occupancy are ongoing.

At Flensburg Galerie (Germany), the property's occupancy increased substantially, to 97.1% (89.6% on 31 December
2023), and passing NRI by 10.3% compared to 31 December 2023, positioning the property well for a disposal when
the German market is suitable. The property's operational metrics continued to be healthy, with footfall levels for
the six months to 30 June 2024 increasing by 6.2%, and tenants' sales increasing by 11.6% compared to the same
period in 2023.

The DJV's residential operations reflected a EUR10.6million loss (on a proportionate basis) for the six months to
30 June 2024 (EUR11.7million for the financial year). Of this, net losses on residential sales comprise EUR3.1million,
attributable to units handed over at Avalon Estate, Silk District and Marmura Residence. Residential results also
include EUR7.3million in net realisable value loss adjustments on residential units in respect of all projects. The results
from sales of units do not include Silk District Phase 2 and Pleiades Residence, previously scheduled for delivery to
clients starting July 2024. However, the projects were also tested for net realisable value loss adjustments.

DEBT, COST OF DEBT AND LIQUIDITY

On 30 June 2024, MAS had EUR101.3million in cash and undrawn credit facilities (figures not proportionally
consolidated). On the same date, the Group's outstanding debt amounted to EUR487.5million on a proportionate
consolidation basis. This comprised EUR212.5million in unsecured bonds, and EUR275million in bank loans secured on
the Group's properties, which includes EUR12.1million DJV's secured debt.

MAS monitors its financial resources closely and has communicated updates to shareholders regularly since
30 June 2023. With the 30 June 2023 results, management set out the expected new capital requirements to be in
a position to repay the bond in May 2026 and to fulfil other commitments (including its capital commitments to DJV,
capital expenditure requirements, and debt amortisation payments), assuming MAS suspends dividend payments
and receives no dividends from the DJV until the bond's maturity.

Since then, management has made significant progress with raising new secured debt finance, finalising and
drawing down EUR156million in new secured loans. A further EUR40.5million is available for drawdown (all approvals
and agreements are in place).

With respect to unsecured funding, conditions for sub-investment grade real estate companies remain challenging.
However, in April 2024 the Group issued EUR40.2million in unsecured debt via a private placement to an existing
noteholder ('New Notes'). The New Notes mature in April 2029 and were issued in exchange for existing notes
maturing in May 2026. The New Notes have a coupon of 6.5% per annum and include a dividend payment restriction
in the form of a financial covenant. Should the Company declare and pay a dividend in respect of a period for which
the adjusted consolidated coverage ratio was less than the relevant covenant level, a put option would be triggered,
potentially requiring the Company to immediately redeem the New Notes.

On 30 June 2024 MAS' remaining capital commitments to 30 June 2026 were EUR354million. Envisaged sources of
capital comprised EUR69million in cash and near cash instruments available, EUR109.5million in additional secured debt,
of which EUR40.5million is available for drawdown and EUR69million is under negotiation, with the balance including
retained earnings and other ongoing processes for sourcing additional capital.

The Group's LTV ratio on 30 June 2024 was 25.7% on a proportionate consolidation basis and 26.3% on an IFRS
consolidation basis. The weighted average cost of debt was 5.52% per annum for the financial year ended
30 June 2024 (on an IFRS consolidation basis).

Covenant ratios on the Group's unsecured debt (comprising the Group's bond maturing in May 2026, the New Notes
maturing in April 2029 as well as the revolving credit facility) demonstrated comfortable headroom compared to
covenant tolerances, as illustrated in Table 2 below.

FUNDING COMMITMENTS TO THE DJV

On 30 June 2024, PK Investments Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PKM Development, owned a total of
133,978,198 MAS shares, as a result of additional acquisitions during the six-month period then ended. One of the
funding sources for the additional investment was preferred equity funding drawn down from MAS, which MAS has
a contractual obligation to provide. Consequently, by 30 June 2024, MAS had invested a total of EUR428.1million in
preferred equity and had ongoing undrawn commitments to DJV of EUR71.9million, of which EUR30million in the undrawn
revolving credit facility (figures not proportionally consolidated).

PROPERTY VALUATIONS

The income property fair value uplift of EUR42.0million for the six months to 30 June 2024 reflects positive fair value
adjustments to income property in CEE of EUR44.7million (an improvement of 4.4% compared to the CEE valuations
on 31 December 2023 and 9% compared to 30 June 2023). Western European property had a fair value decrease of
EUR2.7million (4.6% decrease compared to 31 December 2023), mainly driven by an increase in the valuation discount
rate used for Flensburg Galerie, the Group's last property in WE after finalising the disposal process for the Arches
street retail units in June 2024.

Valuations of MAS' (and the DJV's) properties are determined biannually by external, independent professional
valuers, with appropriate, recognised qualifications and recent experience in the relevant location and category
of property. Valuations are primarily based on discounted forecast cash flows and are therefore forward-looking.

Income property fair value gains were a result of passing NRI increases on a LFL basis of 3.2% since December 2023
(7.2% since June 2023) driven by strong operational performance, while the weighted average unlevered discount
rate for income property valuations in CEE imperceptibly increased to 9.59% from 9.56% compared to valuations for
the six months to 31 December 2023 (and decreased from 9.94% on 30 June 2023).

DEVELOPMENTS, EXTENSIONS AND REFURBISHMENTS IN THE DJV

Progress with commercial and residential developments and changes to secured commercial development pipeline
are detailed below.

Completed commercial developments

Arges Mall, the dominant 51,200m2 GLA regional enclosed mall, was completed and opened on 25 April 2024 with
95% of the GLA occupied. The mall is the DJV's largest commercial development to date and has consolidated the
region's modern retail offering in the city of Pitesti, the capital and largest city of Arges county, with a population of
approximately 170,000. The mall's catchment area comprises approximately 621,000 residents. Since opening, the
centre's footfall and tenants' sales were exceptional.

Commercial developments

Construction continues at Mall Moldova, in Iasi, Romania, to extend and redevelop Era Shopping Centre (previously
29,600m2 GLA) into a super-regional enclosed mall, part of a retail node incorporating approximately 125,700m2 of
destination GLA. Leasing is progressing well with high demand from national and international tenants.

Zoning is ongoing for the DJV's commercial projects in Bucharest (28,000m2 GLA open-air mall component on
54ha of a former industrial platform, where a mixed-use urban regeneration project is planned), Bacau (51,200m2
enclosed mall component of a transformational project on a former industrial platform of approximately 34.2ha) and
Cluj (130,000m2 GLA enclosed mall component on a 17ha land plot where the DJV plans a large-scale mixed-use
urban regeneration project).

Several other retail development opportunities are being pursued, and further updates will be provided in due course.

Residential developments

The first phase of the Avalon Estate residential project, comprising 352 residential units as well as the perimeter
walls, clubhouse, and internal and external infrastructure works are complete, with over 80% sold and handed over
to clients, and an additional 8% of units currently rented.

Construction on the first two phases of Silk District's residential component was finalised during the financial year,
and of the first phase's 315 units, 300 were handed over to clients. The second phase's 346 units are substantially
contracted (320 units: 92%), with handover to clients scheduled to commence in September 2024. Sales commenced
for the project's third phase (380 units) in March 2024, whilst construction works have started in July 2024 with
126 units contracted.

At Pleiades Residence, construction of the 142 units in two buildings planned for the residential component of
the 10.1ha mixed use urban regeneration in downtown Ploiesti, completed by 30 June 2024. Sales continue and
66% of the completed units were contracted, and the first units are scheduled to be handed over to clients starting
September 2024.

EXTENSIONS AND REFURBISHMENTS TO DIRECTLY-OWNED ASSETS

Galleria Burgas's refurbishment was completed in May 2024, as scheduled, improving the centre's overall leisure
and entertainment facilities. Similarly, the Group's 2,900m2 extension to Prahova Value Centre, was completed as
scheduled in May 2024. Further updates regarding other extension and refurbishment projects to directly owned
assets in CEE, will be provided when appropriate.

CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

Brett Nagle has stepped down as Non-Executive Director from MAS' Board of Directors with effect from 22 August
2024. The Board expressed its gratitude for Brett's contribution to MAS during his tenure and wished him the best in
his future endeavours. Following this change and having considered the most appropriate restructuring of the Audit
and Risk Committee, the Board has appointed Claudia Pendred as Committee member.

As a result of changes mentioned, the Board's Committees are structured as follows:

- Audit and Risk Committee Chair: Vasile Iuga; Members: Claudia Pendred, Mihail Vasilescu
- Remuneration and Nomination Committee Chair: Dan Pascariu; Members: Mihail Vasilescu, Werner Alberts
- Environmental, Social and Ethics Committee Chair: Claudia Pendred; Members: Werner Alberts, Irina Grigore

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Diluted adjusted distributable earnings per share for the 2025 financial year is expected to range from 9.54eurocents
to 10.45eurocents per share. This guidance is based on the assumptions that MAS implements its current debt
management plan as scheduled, no additional material macroeconomic disruption occurs, a stable political
environment prevails in the Group's markets, developments are delivered as scheduled, residential units are handed
over to clients by DJV as scheduled and at current estimated selling prices and no major corporate failures occur.

Shareholders should note that the Company's estimates and distributable earnings per share targets are subject
to change. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialise, plans will change, and unanticipated events and
circumstances may affect the ultimate financial results. The Company will not hesitate to adopt changes in strategy,
or to take action that may impact negatively on distributable income per share, if this is considered appropriate from
a long-term, risk-adjusted, total return perspective.

This forecast has not been audited or reviewed by MAS' auditors and is the responsibility of the Board.
