INTERIM DIVIDEND

The Board of LXi REIT plc (ticker: LXI) has declared an interim dividend in respect of the period from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2017 of 1.0 pence per ordinary share, payable on 29 March 2018 to shareholders on the register at 2 March 2018. The ex-dividend date will be 1 March 2018.
