19 Presentation Endnotes NRE portfolio excludes European healthcare properties, which will be retained by NRF. The distribution will be completed and effective by 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on October 31, 2015. Expected Annual Distribution: The actual timing and amount of distribution payments, if any, will be determined by the NRF and NRE board of directors, respectively, and could be affected by various factors, including but not limited to, cash earnings, financial condition and cash requirements, investment opportunities, required capital expenditures, the loss of a material tenant or tenants, reserves established by the board of directors, additional borrowings, or future issuances of securities, many of which are beyond management’s control. Neither NRF nor NRE can assure you that it will be able to pay distributions in the amount set forth in this presentation or at all. NRF’s ability to pay distributions will be subject to the limitations set forth above and in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 under the heading “Risk Factors.” NRE’s ability to pay distributions will be subject to the limitations set forth above and in the section of its Registration Statement on Form S-11 (333-205440) entitled "Risk Factors.” $135 million projected annual NOI is based on projected annual Total Property Revenues of $168 million, excluding amortization of above/below market leases, less projected Property Operating Expenses of $33 million. Total Property Revenues include amortization of rent fees. Asset information as of June 30, 2015 pro forma for the $621 million acquisition of the Trianon Tower in July 2015 and includes four properties representing $18 million of asset value classified as held-for-sale.

Publicly traded real estate companies average cash flow multiple: Source: Green Street Advisors as of October 9, 2015. $135 million projected annual NOI is based on projected annual Total Property Revenues of $168 million, excluding amortization of above/below market leases, less projected Property Operating Expenses of $33 million. Total Property Revenues include amortization of rent fees. The annual coupon expense for the Company’s $340 million stock-settable notes would be $0.04 per share of CAD resulting in hypothetical annual CAD of $0.16 per share excluding any potential new investments from the use of $250 million of cash. NRE outstanding aggregate debt of $1.5 billion excludes $340 million principal amount of NRE stock-settable notes. NRE expects to have 382.2 million outstanding common shares prior to the 1 for 6 distribution ratio anticipated at time of spin-off. No assurance that actual price will reflect the implied price and actual price could be materially different. Cash Flow Multiple: Source: Green Street Advisors as of October 9, 2015; U.K. and Continental Europe data reflects the inverse of 2016E EPRA yield; European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) Earnings are a defined earnings per share metric widely used in Europe. U.K. REITs: Reflect market-cap weighted average of all U.K. REITs in Green Street Advisors’s coverage universe. Continental Europe REITs: Reflect market-cap weighted average of all Continental Office, Continental Retail, German Residential and Swiss Companies in Green Street Advisors’s coverage universe. U.K. and Europe sensitivity table intervals reflect closest to each comp set. The most comparable reported earnings metric to NRE’s CAD based on EPRA is used for presentation purposes and should not be considered as an alternative to NRE CAD. In addition, NRE’s methodology for calculating CAD may differ from the methodologies used by comparable companies using EPRA, when calculating the same or similar financial measure and these may not be comparable metrics. For further information relating to NRE’s calculation of CAD refer to NRE’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (333-205440). Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The Company believes NOI is a useful metric of the operating performance of its real estate portfolio in the aggregate. NOI is equal to total property revenue less property operating expenses. However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excludes general and administrative costs, interest expense, transaction costs, depreciation and amortization expense, realized gains (losses) from the sale of properties and other items under U.S. GAAP and capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of properties, all of which may be significant economic costs. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of U.S. GAAP net income (loss) which further limits its usefulness. The Company believes that CAD is useful because it adjusts net income (loss) for a variety of non-cash items. CAD is calculated by subtracting from or adding to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, non-controlling interests, if any, and the following items: depreciation and amortization items, including depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions), straight-line rental income or expense (excluding amortization of rent free periods), amortization of above/below market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of discount on financing and amortization of equity-based compensation; maintenance capital expenditures; unrealized gain (loss) from the change in fair value; realized gain (loss) on investments and other; impairment on depreciable property; bad debt expense; deferred tax benefit (expense); acquisition gains or losses (excluding accelerated amortization related to the sale of investments); provision for loan losses, net; distributions and adjustments related to joint venture partners; transaction costs; foreign currency gains (losses); impairment on goodwill and other intangible assets; gains (losses) on sales; and one-time events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain other non-recurring items. These items, if applicable, include any adjustments for unconsolidated ventures. The definition of CAD may be adjusted from time to time for our reporting purposes in our discretion, acting through our audit committee or otherwise. CAD and NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as indicators of operating performance. In addition, our methodology for calculating CAD and NOI may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies, including other REITs, when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with these companies.
