    Regulated Information

    4 June 2022, 07:00 CET, Antwerp, Belgium: VGP NV (‘VGP’ or ‘the Group’), a European provider of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate, announced that its share has been admitted to the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Europe Index in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Real Estate Index Series (“Developed Europe Index”). Its inclusion will be effective from the start of trading on Monday the 20th of June 2022.

    The admittance to the Developed Europe Index follows VGP’s inclusion in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Emerging Index on the 23rd of September 2019. The eligibility for the Developed Europe Index is dependent of a company’s market capitalization, the liquidity and free float of the share and the geographical location of the portfolio. In March of this year VGP was also included in Euronext Brussels’ BEL20 Index.

    Dominique Moerenhout, EPRA CEO, said: “The inclusion of VGP represents another solid step in the expansion of the Developed Europe Index with a truly Pan-European developer, owner and manager of logistics assets. VGP operates in 16 countries in a fast growing and innovative sector and following the admission to the BEL 20 earlier this year and their growing business activities in Western Europe the inclusion in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Europe Index is timely. I would like to congratulate the VGP management team on reaching the next stage in their corporate development by being admitted to the leading benchmark alongside their successful market peers.”

    Jan Van Geet, CEO of VGP, said: “We are very pleased to be included in EPRA’s Developed Europe Index. We are proud of our European roots and this is a recognition of the transformative progress VGP has made in recent years in becoming a pan-European platform that today serves over 400 clients and more than a 100 communities across the continent. The increased visibility in the capital markets through the index inclusion will further support our development as a business.”
