Results of Extraordinary General Meeting

The Board of Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited announces that, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on Tuesday, 15 May 2018, the resolutions put to the meeting were approved by shareholders on a show of hands.

Details of the proxy votes lodged are set out below:

Special Resolution	For*	Against	Withheld**
To authorise that the Company be authorised to allot shares up to an aggregate number of Shares equal to, in the event of the passing of Resolution 6 in the notice of Annual General Meeting, 10 per cent. of the Shares in issue at the date of this resolution (and in addition to the authority conferred by such Resolution 6)	260,020,724	1,335,000	0
To authorise that the Company be empowered to allot new shares pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 1	204,544,844	56,810,879	0

To authorise that the Company be empowered to allot new shares up to a maximum number of 245 million shares of no par value.	255,397,280	5,958,444	0

The Board notes the significant number of votes received against Resolution 2 at the EGM, in relation to the dis-application of pre-emption rights (in respect of the allotment of shares proposed by Resolution 1). The Board is aware of the Pre-Emption Group's views in general about the granting of certain disapplication authorities. The Board had set out its rationale for Resolution 2 for the Company in the Extraordinary General Meeting Circular. However, the Board notes the votes against the resolution and will continue to engage with shareholders in order to understand their views in relation to the specific authority sought.

The full text of the resolutions may be found in the Extraordinary General Meeting Circular dated 13 April 2018, a copy of which are available on both the Company's website www.starwoodeuropeanfinance.com and on the National Storage Mechanism www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM***
