Exit Strategy for Investors

We have outlined a clear and comprehensive exit strategy to provide flexibility, transparency, and liquidity for investors. This strategy includes the conversion of debt to equity during construction and liquidity options such as secondary markets or buyback arrangements. Below are the details:

1. Conversion of Debt to Equity

Timing: Starting during construction, investors will have the option to convert their debt holdings into equity in the project.

Process:
- A transparent valuation of the project will be conducted at the time of conversion to determine the equity value.
- The conversion ratio (debt to equity) will be based on the project’s progress, market conditions, and pre-agreed terms outlined in the investment agreement.
- Legal and financial advisors will facilitate the process to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and investor protection.

Benefits:
- Investors can transition from fixed-income returns (debt) to potential capital appreciation (equity).
- This option provides flexibility for investors seeking long-term exposure to the project’s success.

2. Liquidity Options

To ensure investors have access to liquidity, the following options will be made available:

a. Secondary Markets

Listing on Real Estate Platforms:
- Investors will have the option to sell their stakes (debt or equity) on real estate investment platforms or secondary markets.
- The project will collaborate with established platforms to facilitate seamless trading of investment units.
Benefits:
- Provides liquidity for investors who wish to exit before project completion.
- Enhances marketability of the investment by offering a transparent and regulated trading platform.

b. Buyback Arrangements

Developer Buyback Option:
- The developer will offer a buyback option for investors starting during construction.
- The buyback price will be determined based on a pre-agreed formula, considering the project’s progress, market conditions, and original investment terms.
Staggered Buyback Program:
- Buybacks will be staggered to ensure financial sustainability and avoid strain on the project’s cash flow.
- Priority will be given to investors seeking early exits, subject to available funds.
Benefits:
- Provides a guaranteed exit route for investors.
- Demonstrates the developer’s commitment to investor confidence and project success.

3. Project Completion and Sale of Units

Upon Project Completion:
- Investors holding equity stakes will benefit from the sale of residential and commercial units.
- Proceeds from sales will be distributed to equity holders based on their ownership percentage.
Refinancing Options:
- The project may explore refinancing options to provide early returns to investors, such as securing long-term debt at favorable rates to repay equity holders.

4. Investor Communication and Transparency

Regular Updates:
- Investors will receive quarterly reports on project progress, financial performance, and market conditions.
Exit Strategy Workshops:
- The developer will organize workshops or webinars to explain exit options and address investor queries.
Dedicated Support:
