Kardan N.V.

Kardan N.V. is a Netherlands-based international investment company whose activities are concentrated in emerging markets, where it develops and manages assets and projects in real estate and water infrastructure. The company describes its core activity as real estate, and its current strategy is centred on developing and managing real estate assets and projects in China through its subsidiary Kardan Land China (KLC). By establishing local platforms in selected markets based on identified demand, economic viability and legal infrastructure, Kardan aims to combine international expertise with local knowledge. Kardan operates a one-tier governance system. The Board comprises one executive Board member — the Chief Executive Officer — and a number of non-executive Board members, including the Chairman of the Board. The CEO is responsible for day-to-day management and is supported by the Chief Financial Officer; together they form the Executive Management. The Board as a whole remains ultimately responsible for the management of Kardan. A General Meeting of Shareholders is held at least once a year to discuss the annual report, adopt the financial statements and decide other matters reserved to shareholders. Corporate social responsibility is presented by Kardan as essential to the future success of the group's operations. The company treats CSR — including environmental and social governance (ESG) — not as a standalone topic but as an integral part of its overall strategy and a core value, combining sustainability issues with risk management and corporate social responsibility. Kardan states that it aims to contribute to sustainable growth throughout all its businesses. Financially, Kardan's stated main objective is to maximise the value of its assets and to serve its debt to the Debenture Holders as agreed in the debt settlement signed in June 2022 (the "Previous Debt Settlement") and the debt settlement signed in December 2024 (the "New Debt Settlement"). This debt-settlement framework is central to the company's current positioning and capital-allocation priorities. Kardan is publicly listed, with its shares traded on Euronext Amsterdam under the ticker KARD. Its historical profile as an international investment company spans real estate and finance, and its present focus is on real estate development and management in China alongside water infrastructure interests in emerging markets.
