Legal & General Study on U.S. Millennials and Housing Quantifies Impact of Student and Medical Debt as Barriers to Home Ownership

Legal & General

36% of millennials report student debt a major barrier to saving for a down payment on a home While saving for a down payment is top priority for 45% of millennials, 26% prioritize first paying off student loans and 12% would first pay off their medical debt Only 60% of millennials surveyed carry their own health insurance Student debt has arguably affected the millennial generation more adversely than any other age cohort, with many 25- to 40-year-olds feeling financially crippled by the skyrocketing cost of college tuition at a crucial point in their lives, along with other economic challenges. Today, the fifth and final part of a broad new study conducted by Legal & General Group, U.S. Millennials and Home Ownership – A Distant Dream for Most, is released, diving into the role of student and medical debt in creating a vicious cycle that keeps millennials from saving and building credit to purchase their own home. In the research, survey subjects repeatedly called for cancellation of oppressive student debt. This fifth segment of the data-rich study, Student Debt and Cost of Healthcare Turn Saving, Credit Building into a Vicious Cycle for Millennials, looks at one final aspect of the multi-faceted conundrum the generation faces in gaining a foothold on the home ownership ladder. The research finds that a significant portion of college-educated millennials feel student debt has affected their ability to buy a home. Among those surveyed, 40 percent reported that it had exercised a “moderate” to “very strong” impact on their plans. Meanwhile, among millennials the study surveyed, 51 percent had received an unexpected medical bill over $2,000, while only 60 percent held their own health insurance. The study looks at why millennials in particular have been so strongly affected by the similarly rocketing costs of education and medical coverage. Legal & General Group Chief Executive Sir Nigel Wilson commented: “Student loan debt is a leading contributor to the economic imbalance our research identifies, meaning that saving for a down payment to purchase is a distant rather than near-term goal for many U.S. millennials. It has put this generation at a considerable disadvantage in terms of parlaying their hard-won education into wealth, in the form of home ownership.” Study Co-Author and Legal & General Corporate Affairs Director John Godfrey adds: “Traditionally, health insurance in the U.S. has been a benefit provided by corporations to their employees. But a confluence of factors, from the Great Recession to the rise of the Gig Economy, have affected the degree to which younger Americans were covered during this critical time, or had to purchase their own policies. When you add the cost of health insurance plans and medical debt to the student loan burden, it’s less surprising that the percentage of U.S. millennial homeowners is at a historic low.” Legal & General’s study looks not only at the inequities set up by student and medical debt, but also at demographic choices based on particular millennial age and life stage, and at various drivers shaping these choices. This final segment of the study wraps up our survey of the various obstacles that are hindering millennials in their home ownership quest. # # # Media Contact: For more information on the 2021 U.S. Millennials and Home Ownership study, or to see a copy of Part 5 of the report, please contact: Meir Kahtan: mkahtan@rcn.com +1 917-864-0800 Meir Kahtan Public Relations, LLC Notes To Editors The information contained in this press release is intended solely for journalists and should not be relied upon by private investors or any other persons to make financial decisions.

TechnoPark Tower awarded LEED Platinum Green Construction Certificate

Vingroup

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 11 January 2022 - TechnoPark Tower in Vinhomes Ocean Park in the capital has been officially awarded the V4 LEED Platinum Green Building Certificate by the US Green Building Council. This is the world's most prestigious certification that honours green buildings for their capability to save energy and protect the environment. According to assessment results from the US Green Building Council, the LEED Platinum V4 version is the most difficult LEED rating level to date. To achieve this certificate, the TechnoPark Tower had to satisfy the nine most rigorous criteria from design to operation, including: integrated design, location and connectivity, sustainable location, efficient use of water, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor air quality, innovation initiatives and regional scores. TechnoPark Tower achieved a maximum score in many of the criteria. TechnoPark Tower has the ability to save up to 17.4 per cent of total annual energy consumption compared to the standard level, owing to energy-efficient solutions such as low-E insulating glass facades which helps to minimize heat transfer in both directions from outside to inside and from inside to outside; ventilation systems for the parking lot and the green roof, which helps to reduce the heat transfer coefficient; and solar panels on the lake's surface next to TechnoPark Tower to generate a renewable energy source for the tower. Inside the tower, nearly 3,000 Siemens motion sensors are installed to automatically turn the lights on in unoccupied areas, and there are on and off and dim lights in the parking basement to save energy. The entire exterior lighting system is controlled by a timer to reduce light pollution. More than 75% of the workspace enjoys natural daylight in the range of 300 lux to 3,000 lux, allowing tenants to reduce electricity consumption inside the building. In terms of water efficiency, TechnoPark Tower makes full use of rainwater collected at storage tanks to water plants, while using low-flow sanitary equipment to minimize water consumption at source. Greenery occupies 25 per cent of the total area of the building, with the highlight being the chill sky gardens where native drought-tolerant plants are grown to save water. In addition, to encourage tenants to use environmentally friendly transportation, there are multiple charging stations for electric vehicles in the tower's parking basement; there are also 660 bicycle parking slots as well as bathrooms for those who cycle to work. Moreover, right next to the tower's lobby is a smart electric VinBus pick-up point, promoting green transportation both inside and outside the complex. On top of these outstanding advantages, TechnoPark Tower is also equipped with many innovative smart features deployed by VinSmart. Before the LEED Platinum award in November 2021, TechnoPark Tower was honoured as the first building in Viet Nam to win Most Intelligent District award at the prestigious Digie Awards (USA). Having received prestigious world-class certifications and awards, TechnoPark Tower is gradually realizing its goal of becoming one of the Top 10 smartest buildings in the world. These are worthy achievements for a "heartfelt construction" marking the great progress of Viet Nam's stature on the global technology map. About LEED LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system in the world, developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Available for virtually all building types, LEED provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership. Established in 1995, after several revisions and additions, LEED V4 is now the most updated and also the most demanding version with nine extremely strict scoring criteria. To be awarded the LEED certificate, the building must achieve a minimum of 40 - 49 points (equivalent to a Certified rating); in order to receive the highest Platinum certification, the building must achieve 80 points or more.

Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust Issues Monthly/Quarterly Reporting Package for December 2021

Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust

Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust (“the Trust”), has filed a Form 8-K containing its monthly/quarterly report for the period ended December 31, 2021. An aggregate total distribution of $600.9 million or $8.011351 per trust certificate will be paid on January 10, 2022 to certificateholders of record as of January 7, 2022. The total distribution includes a $595.3 million aggregate net sales proceeds distribution, as well as a $5.6 million net operations distribution. As previously announced, on December 17, 2021, the Trust sold its portfolio of six distribution centers for a sales price of $557 million. Due to this sale and the subsequent sale of two retail assets in December, the Trust held an extraordinary amount of cash pending the next permitted distribution on January 10, 2022. Therefore, on December 30, 2021, the Trust amended its Amended and Restated Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated January 30, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), without the consent of its certificateholders (as provided in the Trust Agreement), to permit the Trust to invest moneys held by the Trust instead of holding them in non-interest bearing accounts. A copy of the amendments to the Trust Agreement was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to Form 8-K, filed on January 5, 2022 with the SEC. The Trust used the flexibility created by the amendments to invest the funds held pending the January 10, 2022 distribution in a manner that precluded principal risk since December 31, 2021, while ensuring that the Trust could satisfy the timing and manner of distributions required by the Trust Agreement. The funds were invested in a U.S. government money market fund sponsored by a major bulge bracket investment banking firm, which invests at least 99.5% of its assets in (i) cash, (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the United States or certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities and/or (iii) repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully. Additional information can be obtained on the Monthly Distribution Statement, which can be found on the Trust’s website at https://www.ctltrust.net/. About Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust (the “Trust”) was established to acquire 160 retail properties and 6 warehouse distribution centers (the “Properties”) from J.C. Penney as part of its Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The Trust’s operations consist solely of owning, leasing and selling the Properties.
