DL INVEST GROUP WELCOMES STATEMENT OF SUPPORT FROM IAN WORBOYS AHEAD OF ASLI GENERAL MEETING

Warsaw / London, February 2026 – DL Invest Group, the largest shareholder of abrdn European Logistics Income plc (“ASLI”), welcomes and notes with appreciation the statement issued by Ian Worboys, CEO of European Green Logistic Space (“EGLS”), expressing his professional support for the proposals submitted by DL Invest Group to ASLI shareholders ahead of the forthcoming General Meeting.

In his statement, issued in his capacity as a senior industry executive with more than 45 years of experience across the UK and European logistics and industrial real estate markets, Mr. Worboys outlined his assessment of the current market environment and the strategic alternatives available to ASLI.

Ian Worboys commented:

As CEO of EGLS (European Green Logistic Space) and an adviser to DL Invest Group at Board level, I wish to present my independent professional view on the proposals put forward by DL Invest Group to the shareholders of abrdn European Logistics Income plc (ASLI) ahead of the forthcoming General Meeting.

My opinion is grounded in over 45 years of experience across logistics and industrial real estate markets in the United Kingdom and Europe, spanning multiple full market cycles — including periods of recession, recovery and expansion. At such inflection points, decisions relating to strategy and capital allocation are critical to long-term shareholder value creation.

The European logistics real estate market is now entering a phase of normalisation following heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility. In my professional judgement, continuing a wind-down strategy at this stage entails material risks, including forced asset disposals, crystallisation of structural pricing discounts and potential long-term value erosion.

By contrast, active management and stabilisation of the ASLI platform present a genuine opportunity to protect and rebuild shareholder value.

DL Invest Group has an established market position, meaningful scale and proven operational capabilities. The Group manages a diversified portfolio exceeding EUR 1.2 billion and operates with a fully integrated team of more than 260 professionals across investment, development, operational and financial disciplines. Importantly, it has demonstrated its ability to raise capital, manage assets in challenging market conditions and preserve value during periods of volatility.

I also view positively the balanced approach outlined in DL Invest Group’s proposals, including its willingness to work constructively with the Board to design a potential buy-out mechanism for short-term shareholders. Such a mechanism would allow value realisation based on prevailing asset valuations while limiting execution and market timing risks, while enabling long-term investors to participate in the stabilisation and continued development of the platform.

Taking into account the current stage of the market cycle, the risks associated with continuing the wind-down, the scale and capabilities of DL Invest Group, and the proposed approach to protecting the interests of different shareholder groups, I regard the proposals of DL Invest Group as a constructive and credible alternative. In my professional judgement, voting FOR the resolutions recommended by DL Invest Group is in the best interests of ASLI and its shareholders.”

DL Invest Group reiterates that its proposals are grounded in a long-term active ownership philosophy focused on operational enhancement, disciplined capital allocation and value creation, rather than accelerated liquidation at a cyclical low. The Group remains committed to constructive engagement with the Board of ASLI and all shareholders ahead of the forthcoming General Meeting.
