Vesteda Residential Fund FGR is a mutual Fund, which is not classified as a legal entity under Dutch law. Vesteda Residential Fund FGR does therefore not have any legal requirements related to reserves. However, the Fund has decided to present its statement of changes in equities as if the Fund was subject to the rules for the determination of revaluation reserves.

The property reserve is the difference between the market value and historical book value. The revaluation of property is accounted for in the event of positive revaluations. Negative revaluation is deducted from this reserve, as long as the reserve is positive on an individual basis.

The total number of issued participation rights had declined by 250,882 to stand at 35,430,366 at year-end 2023, following an equity redemption of €50 million on 30 March 2023.
