UPDATE ON REIT CONVERSION

As noted in the interim report for the period ended 30 June 2018, the Board is proposing that the Company and its subsidiaries take the necessary steps to enter into the UK REIT regime (the "Proposals").

The Board has been progressing the necessary documentation in relation to the Proposals. The completion of the Proposals will be subject to regulatory, bank and shareholder approval.

Whilst positive progress has been made on gaining the necessary approvals, the Company is now aiming for the REIT conversion to take place during the second quarter of 2019.
