Warehouses De Pauw Comm.VA, abbreviated WDP, having its registered office at Blakebergen 15, 1861 Wolvertem (Belgium), is a closed-end
property investment company, incorporated under Belgian law and listed on Euronext Brussels.
By its very nature, any investment in financial instruments carries substantial risks. Investors are invited to carefully consider the risks, uncertainties
and all other relevant information contained before deciding to invest. These risks, if they actually occur, could adversely impact WDP's business,
results of operations, financial conditions and prospects and thereby the value of the shares and the dividend, and consequently, create a loss to
investors of all or part of their investment. This presentation combined with all the declarations, estimates and forecasts and in general all other
corporate information released by WDP contains selected and summarised information and does not express any commitment or acknowledgement

This presentation contains forward-looking information, forecasts and estimates prepared by WDP relating to the expected future performance of
WDP and the market in which WDP operates. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general
and specific, and risks exist that the forecasts, estimates and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. Investors should be aware that a
number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions
expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such declarations, forecasts and estimates are based on various hypotheses and assessments of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which seemed sound at the time they were made, but which may or may not prove to be
accurate. Some events are difficult to predict and can depend on factors on which WDP has no control.
This uncertainty is further increased due to financial, operational and regulatory risks and risks related to the economic outlook, which reduces the
predictability of any declaration, forecast or estimate made by WDP. Consequently, the reality of the earnings, financial situation, performance or
achievements of WDP may prove substantially different from the guidance regarding the future earnings, financial situation, performance or
achievements set out or suggested in such declarations, forecasts or estimates. Given these uncertainties, investors are advised not to give undue
weight to these forward-looking statements. Additionally, the forecasts and estimates only apply on the date of drafting this presentation and WDP is
not obliged to update these forecasts or estimates to reflect any changes in its expectations in this regard or any change in the events, conditions or
