Starwood European Real Estate Finance Ltd Announces Voluntary Winding Up

Starwood European Real Estate Finance Ltd (SWEF) has announced the publication of a circular detailing the proposal for the voluntary winding up of the company. Scheduled for a vote at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on February 27, 2026, the proposal requires a 75% majority approval from shareholders to proceed.

If approved, the company's shares will be suspended from listing on the London Stock Exchange on the day of the EGM, with trading halted by March 2, 2026. Joint liquidators Stuart Gardner and Richard Barker are proposed to manage the winding up process. The company's board will resign with their appointment.

This decision follows the board's strategy of realising assets as set out in the circular. Shareholders will lose the ability to trade shares after the cancellation date, subject to the liquidators' consent.
