Acquisition of five logistics assets totaling approximately 148,000 square meters Let to nine tenants, this highly reversionary portfolio has a weighted average remaining lease term to break of less than two years With this transaction, EQT Real Estate will meaningfully increase its exposure to the core Southeast and Southwest France logistics markets STOCKHOLM, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EQT Real Estate is pleased to announce that EQT Exeter Logistics Value Fund IV has acquired a best-in-class logistics portfolio of five warehouses. The portfolio of big-box assets totals approximately 148,000 square meters and are located in the key Southern France submarkets of Avignon and Toulouse. The warehouses' respective locations offer proximate access to core population centres via key motorways, including the A20 and the A7 which provide connectivity to Marseille and Lyon. The properties feature Grade A technical specifications, including eaves heights averaging over ten meters, as well as ample loading and maneuvering features. The portfolio benefits from a strong, global diversified tenant base and is well-suited to meet the growing needs of today's modern logistics users. This acquisition strengthens EQT Real Estate's exposure to core Southern France submarkets, which are structurally undersupplied and continue to experience resilient demand.

John Toukatly, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, European Logistics at EQT Real Estate, said: "We are excited to add these top-tier logistics properties to our portfolio. Situated in supply-constrained markets, these assets are highly attractive to a wide range of major big-box tenants and are well aligned with EQT Real Estate's strategy of acquiring modern, high-potential logistics properties in underserved areas across Europe.

Airline passenger sparks heated debate about 'rarely enforced' baggage policy on flight
A flight passenger who boarded a late-night flight out of Atlanta, Georgia, shared frustrations about the baggage-related actions of some fellow flyers. Posting in the "r/delta" Reddit forum with the title, "Another rant about carry-ons and personal items," the user wrote to others, "Seriously, why have a 'rule' about one carry-on and one personal item when it's rarely enforced." The user added, "I watch[ed] a person with two, what I would call, large roll bags and no personal items put both rollers in an overhead bin while an FA [flight attendant] watched him do it." The user then added, "[Since] I paid to check my bag, I figured I'd put my backpack above my seat and the same FA [then] tells me that I can't do that." The person continued, "I mention to the FA that we just watched a person put two rollers in the overhead and why is that OK. The FA ignores me, moves on." The user said the flight attendant then put the bag under the seat in front. Reddit users took to the comments section to speculate about the actions of the traveler with two suitcases, plus bag policy habits. "Just from a personal experience, I once was asked about my two roller bags and my backpack as I was going to my seat," said one user. "I handle my mom's luggage when she gets on a plane because she can't. [So] it is very possible [this person was] doing the same." Another user pointed out other issues: "Let's talk about the real problem: baggage fees. This is why everyone uses a carry-on now. Which in turn makes boarding and deplaning take waaaay longer." Said yet another person, "Airlines need to start allowing a more generous checked baggage policy and start charging for carry-on luggage. That would solve several problems." One Redditor added, "I stopped traveling with a backpack because I got tired of having to sacrifice my legroom due to FAs screeching about backpacks going under the seat (even though it was usually my only carry-on)." One snarky user told the original poster, "Maybe you shouldn't be trying to police others, and [instead] should put your personal item under the seat in front of you where it [belongs]." "I'm [a member of a] flight crew who frequently travels as a passenger on commercial airliners," claimed one user. The person continued, "Rule of thumb is that if I'm not in uniform, I'm not allowed to bring more than the standard bag allowance for any passenger, whether crew or not." "If the flight is not full, oftentimes this rule is overlooked." Said another person on Reddit, "If I only have one item, that's my carry-on regardless of size, and I'm definitely putting it in the overhead and not under the seat in front of me." Former flight attendant and etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore of Florida told Fox News Digital the flight attendant may have been in the wrong in the case in question. "I'm not sure why this passenger was not allowed to put her backpack in the overhead bin. That's perfectly acceptable unless the bins are full," said Whitmore. She added, "The airlines have a policy that passengers can take one bag (of a certain size) and a personal item onboard the plane. If the flight is not full, oftentimes this rule is overlooked."

Vodafone and Three merge to become Britain's biggest mobile network
Vodafone and Three have vowed to improve Britain's patchy 5G coverage after completing their long-awaited £15bn mega-merger. The two companies said they have closed the deal to create VodafoneThree, which is now the UK's largest mobile network operator with around 27m customers. Bosses said VodafoneThree will invest £11bn over the next decade to create one of Europe's most advanced 5G networks. This includes a £1.3bn capital expenditure pledge in the first year. Margherita Della Valle, chief executive of Vodafone Group, said: 'The merger will create a new force in UK mobile, transform the country's digital infrastructure and propel the UK to the forefront of European connectivity. 'We are now eager to kick off our network build and rapidly bring customers greater coverage and superior network quality. The transaction completes the reshaping of Vodafone in Europe, and following this period of transition we are now well-positioned for growth ahead.' It comes two years after Vodafone and Three owner CK Hutchison, which is owned by the Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-Shing, first announced plans to merge their UK operations. The deal has been held up by a lengthy regulatory process amid concerns reducing the number of UK mobile network operators from four to three would push up prices for consumers. Unions and China-sceptic MPs also raised concerns about granting Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison access to critical national infrastructure and sensitive government contracts. However, the deal passed a national security review and in December the Competition and Markets Authority gave the green light to the merger. Vodafone and Three have made a number of legally-binding commitments, including the £11bn investment pledge and guarantees around some consumer tariffs. More recently, the launch has been delayed by negotiations between Vodafone and CK Hutchison over the terms of the deal. The newly-merged company will be 51pc owned by Vodafone, while Three will hold the remaining 49pc. Vodafone has an option to buy out Three's stake after three years. It will be led by Max Taylor, current chief executive of Vodafone UK, while Three's Darren Purkis has been appointed chief financial officer. Bosses said the combined company is expected to deliver cost savings of around £700m per year, unlocking more money for network investment. VodafoneThree's net debt is expected to be £6bn and the parent companies have agreed to contribute £800m of equity to support working capital requirements. Canning Fok, deputy chairman of CK Hutchison, said: 'As we have demonstrated in other European markets, scale enables the significant investment needed to deliver the world-beating mobile networks our customers expect, and the Vodafone and Three merger provides that scale. 'In addition, this transaction unlocks significant shareholder value, returning approximately £1.3bn in net cash to the group.'
