Pursuant  to the resolution of  the Supervisory Board of  EfTEN Real Estate Fund
III  AS, the annual general meeting will have the following agenda together with
proposals of the Supervisory Board to the shareholders:

Item 1: Management Board's overview of the fund's activities
The  Management Board shall provide an overview  of the activities of EfTEN Real
Estate  Fund  III  AS  and  the  planned  merger.  The item is for informational
purposes only.

Item 2: Determining the exchange ratio
EfTEN  Real Estate Fund III AS as the Acquiring Fund and EfTEN Kinnisvarafond AS
as  the Fund  Being Acquired  have signed  a merger  agreement on 19.09.2022. In
order  to  carry  out  the  merger  according  to  the  clause 6.3 of the merger
agreement,  the share capital  of the Acquiring  Fund shall be  increased on the
account  of the total assets  of the Fund Being  Acquired and transferred to the
Acquiring Fund (non-monetary contribution), the value of which shall be EPRA Net
Asset Value of the Fund Being Acquired.
According  to the instructions given to  the management company by the Financial
Supervision  Authority, the conditions for determining the value of the exchange
ratio  and  the  value  of  the  shares  taken  as the basis for determining the
exchange ratio must be decided by voting as a separate agenda item in accordance
with § 143 (5) of the Investment Funds Act.
Proposal   of   the  Supervisory  Board:  To  approve  the  conditions  for  the
determination of the exchange ratio of the merger of EfTEN Kinnisvarafond AS and
EfTEN  Real Estate Fund III AS and the value of the shares used as the basis for
determining the exchange ratio as follows:

  i. In order to carry out the merger, the share capital of the Acquiring Fund
     shall be increased on the account of the totality of assets of the Fund
     Being Acquired transferred to the Acquiring Fund (non-monetary
     contribution), the value of which shall be EPRA (the official name:
     European Public Real Estate Association, hereinafter EPRA) Net Asset Value
     of the Fund Being Acquired.
 ii. The extent of the increase of share capital of the Acquiring Fund as well
     as the number of shares to be issued upon the increase and the share
     premium shall be calculated on the basis of the following formula
     (specified also in clause 6.4.1 of the merger agreement): Number of new
     shares of the Acquiring Fund upon increase of share capital = the Fund's
     Being Acquired EPRA NAV (in euros) ÷ the Acquiring Fund's EPRA NAV per
     share (in euros, precision equivalent to four decimals). The Fund's Being
     Acquired EPRA NAV = the Fund's Being Acquired equity + the Fund's Being
     Acquired interest derivatives at fair value + the Fund's Being Acquired
     deferred income tax liability. The Acquiring Fund's EPRA NAV per share =
     (the Acquiring Fund's equity + the Acquiring Fund's interest derivatives at
     fair value + the Acquiring Fund's deferred income tax liability) ÷ number
     of the Acquiring Fund's shares.

Item  3: Approval  of  the  merger  agreement  and  determination of the list of
shareholders
EfTEN  Kinnisvarafond AS  and EfTEN  Real Estate  Fund III  AS concluded  on 19
September  2022 a merger  agreement. According  to the  clause 6.5 of the merger
agreement,  the list of shareholders of the Fund Being Acquired will be fixed as
of  31.12.2022, unless  the  general  meeting  specifies  otherwise. Taking into
account  the  relatively  long  time  period  between 31.12.2022 and the planned
merger,  it is  appropriate to  fix the  list of  shareholders of the Fund Being
Acquired  closer to the merger's effective date. The merger has been approved by
the  depositaries of both  funds. Rights and  obligations arise under the merger
agreement  only  after  the  merger  agreement  has been approved by the general
meeting  of the  shareholders of  both funds.  The completion  of the  merger is
subject to the authorisation from the Financial Supervision Authority, for which
the  fund  manager  has  submitted  an  application to the Financial Supervision
Authority.
Proposal  of the Supervisory Board: To approve the merger agreement concluded on
19 September 2022 between EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS and EfTEN Kinnisvarafond
AS,  and to carry out  the merger under the  conditions stipulated in the merger
agreement  and set the date of fixing the list of shareholders of the Fund Being
Acquired as 31.01.2023 in accordance with clause 6.5 of the merger agreement.

Item 4: Amendment of the business name and the articles of association
In  the course of the merger, the business name of EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS
shall be amended, and the fund shall continue operations under the business name
EfTEN  Real Estate Fund AS. In order to amend the business name, the articles of
association of EfTEN Real Estate Fund III AS will have to be amended as well.
Proposal  of the Supervisory Board: To approve  EfTEN Real Estate Fund AS as the
new business name and to approve the new articles of association as presented to
the general meeting.

Item  5: Increase of share capital and listing of new shares on the Main List of
Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange
In  order to carry out  the merger, the share  capital of EfTEN Real Estate Fund
III  AS as  an Acquiring  Fund shall  be increased  on the  account of the total
assets  of EfTEN Kinnisvarafond AS  to be transferred to  EfTEN Real Estate Fund
III  AS. The extent  of the increase  of share capital  as well as the number of
shares  to be issued upon  the increase shall be  calculated on the basis of the
formula  specified  in  clause  6.4.1 of  the  merger  agreement  as  at the day
preceding the balance sheet day of the merger (i.e. 1 January 2023), i.e. on the
basis  of the balance sheet  figures as at 31 December  2022. Since this date is
later  than the date of the general  meeting,  the increase of the share capital
shall be delegated to the Supervisory Board.
Proposal  of  the  Supervisory  Board:  To  delegate  to  the  competence of the
Supervisory Board, in accordance with the law and articles of association of the
fund,  the decision  on the  increase of  share capital  in accordance  with the
principles  specified in  the merger  agreement concluded  on 19 September 2022
within  a  four-month  period  following  this  general meeting and to submit an
application  for the listing and admission to trading of all newly-issued shares
on  the Main List of Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange. To authorise the Supervisory
Board  and the  Management Board  of the  fund to  carry out  all activities and
conclude all agreements necessary for this purpose.
