TRITAX EUROBOX PLC

(the “Company”)

Result of Issue

The Board of Directors (the “Directors”) of Tritax EuroBox plc (tickers: EBOX (Sterling) and BOXE (Euro)) is pleased to announce the results of the Placing, Open Offer, Offer for Subscription and Intermediaries Offer (the “Issue”) of new ordinary shares in the Company (“New Ordinary Shares”) as described in the prospectus published by the Company on 19 February 2021 (the “Prospectus”).

Investor demand for the Issue has significantly exceeded the targeted size of approximately £173 million (€200 million). The Board, after careful consideration with the Manager and in consultation with its Joint Financial Advisers, has determined to increase the size of the Issue to approximately £198.4 million (€230 million) through the Placing Programme. In taking this decision the Board has taken into account the strength of the Manager’s near-term investment pipeline.

A total of 192,633,688 New Ordinary Shares will be issued at a price of 103 pence per New Ordinary Share (the “Issue Price”) pursuant to the Issue, of which 57,232,790 New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Open Offer (including under the Excess Application Facility), 4,386,471 New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer for Subscription, 3,206,663 New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Intermediaries Offer and 127,807,764 New Ordinary Shares will be issued under the Placing.

The Euro equivalent Issue Price has been fixed at 119.3976 cents per New Ordinary Share, based on the Relevant Euro Exchange rate of 1.1592.

All valid applications under the Open Offer (including Excess Applications) have been met in full. Notwithstanding the increased size of the Issue, applications for the New Ordinary Shares exceeded the total number of shares to be issued and accordingly a scaling back exercise has been undertaken with respect to applications received pursuant to the Placing, the Offer for Subscription and the Intermediaries Offer.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Robert Orr, Chairman of Tritax EuroBox plc, said:

“We are delighted by the success of this oversubscribed Issue. On behalf of the Directors and the Manager I would like to thank existing shareholders for their strong support and welcome a range of new investors to the Company.”

Nick Preston, Fund Manager of Tritax EuroBox plc, commented:

“This fundraise will allow us to capitalise further on the significant opportunity that currently exists in the continental European logistics real estate market. In light of the strength of investor demand and reflecting our confidence in both the depth and near-term availability of our investment pipeline we have increased the size of the Issue. We look forward to updating investors as we execute on these exciting investment opportunities and further strengthen and diversify our portfolio.”

Jefferies International Limited (“Jefferies”) and Van Lanschot Kempen Wealth Management N.V. (“Kempen & Co”) acted as joint global coordinators, joint bookrunners and joint financial advisers in relation to the Issue. Akur Limited (“Akur”) acted as joint financial adviser.

Applications have been made for all of the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) and to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities (“Admission”). The Issue remains conditional upon inter alia, the Resolutions relating to the Issue having been passed by the Company's shareholders at the General Meeting (scheduled for 8 March 2021), the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects, and Admission becoming effective. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence, at 8:00 am on 10 March 2021.

Immediately following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 615,360,961 Ordinary Shares carrying one vote each. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, following Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 615,360,961. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Information to Distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; (c) local implementing measures within the European Economic Area; and (d) local implementing measures in the United Kingdom as they form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended, and regulations made under that Act (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the New Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment").

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Issue and/or the Placing Programme. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Ordinary Shares.

Each distributor (including the Intermediaries) is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
