RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

of

Tritax EuroBox plc ("Tritax EuroBox")

by

Titanium Ruth Bidco Limited ("Bidco")

(a newly formed company indirectly owned by one of Brookfield's real estate private funds)

SATISFACTION OF ANTITRUST CONDITION

On 10 October 2024, the boards of directors of Tritax EuroBox and Bidco announced that they had reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended cash acquisition by Bidco of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Tritax EuroBox (the "Brookfield Offer"). The Brookfield Offer is being implemented by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme"). The directors of Tritax EuroBox announced that the terms of the Brookfield Offer represent an attractive premium for Tritax EuroBox Shareholders over the all-share offer by SEGRO plc for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Tritax EuroBox, announced on 4 September 2024 (the "SEGRO Offer") and accordingly the Tritax EuroBox Shareholders are encouraged to take no action in respect of the SEGRO Offer.

The circular in relation to the Scheme was published or made available to Tritax EuroBox Shareholders on 28 October 2024 (the "Scheme Document").

Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the same meanings as set out in the Scheme Document. All references to times in this announcement are to London, United Kingdom times unless otherwise stated.

Satisfaction of regulatory and antitrust Condition

The Acquisition is subject to the Conditions set out in Part 4 of the Scheme Document, including the receipt of confirmation from the German Federal Cartel Office ("FCO") that the Acquisition may proceed. Tritax EuroBox and Bidco are pleased to announce that confirmation of clearance has been received from the FCO and therefore the Condition in paragraph (c) of Part A of Part 4 of the Scheme Document has now been satisfied.

Expected timetable and next steps

Whilst the Condition in paragraph (c) of Part A of Part 4 of the Scheme Document has now been satisfied, the Acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction or (if capable of waiver) the waiver of the remaining Conditions set out in Part 4 of the Scheme Document, including the sanction of the Scheme by the Court at the Scheme Court Hearing and the delivery of the Scheme Court Order(s) sanctioning the Scheme.

The Scheme Court Hearing has been scheduled for 6 December 2024. Details of the Scheme Court Hearing will be available on the Court service website on the day before the Scheme Court Hearing. The Scheme is expected to become Effective on 10 December 2024.

An expected timetable of principal events is set out below reflecting the sequencing of events between the Scheme Court Hearing and the Effective Date. A further announcement will be made following the Scheme Court Hearing.

Expected timetable of principal events

The following indicative timetable sets out Tritax EuroBox's and Bidco's current expected dates for the implementation of the Scheme and is subject to change. If any of the dates and/or times in this expected timetable change, the revised dates and/or times will be notified to Tritax EuroBox Shareholders by announcement through a Regulatory Information Services.

Notes:

(1)          It is requested that BLUE Forms of Proxy or CREST Proxy Instructions in respect of the Court Meeting be lodged at least 48 hours prior to the time appointed for the Court Meeting or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned or postponed Court Meeting (in each case, excluding any part of a day that is not a Business Day). BLUE Forms of Proxy that are not so lodged may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting or a representative of the Company's registrar, Computershare, at the Court Meeting venue before the start of the Court Meeting.

(2)           WHITE Forms of Proxy or CREST Proxy Instructions in respect of the General Meeting must be lodged at least 48 hours prior to the time appointed for the General Meeting or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned or postponed General Meeting (in each case, excluding any part of a day that is not a Business Day). WHITE Forms of Proxy that are not so lodged may NOT be handed to the Chair of the General Meeting or a representative of the Company's registrar, Computershare, before the start of or at the General Meeting.

(3)          If either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the Voting Record Time for the relevant adjourned or postponed Meeting will be 6.00 p.m. on the day which is two Business Days before the date set for such adjourned or postponed Meeting and only Scheme Shareholders (in the case of the Court Meeting) and Tritax EuroBox Shareholders (in the case of the General Meeting) on the register of members at such time shall be entitled to attend and vote at the relevant Meeting(s).

(4)           Or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting shall have been concluded or been adjourned or postponed.

(5)          These dates and times are indicative only, may be subject to change (including as a result of changes to the Court timetable and, in particular, if an earlier date becomes available for the Scheme Court Hearing) and will depend, amongst other matters, on the date upon which: (i) the Conditions are satisfied or (where applicable) waived; and (ii) the Court sanctions the Scheme. Tritax EuroBox or Bidco (as appropriate) will give notice of any change(s) to this indicative timetable by issuing an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service and, if required by the Panel, Tritax EuroBox will post notice(s) of the change(s) to Tritax EuroBox Shareholders and persons with information rights. All Scheme Shareholders have the right to attend the Scheme Court Hearing. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is without prejudice to the Conditions (including the Conditions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Part A of Part 4 of the Scheme Document and the dates specified therein).

(6)           Tritax EuroBox Shares will be disabled in CREST from 6.00 p.m. on such date.

(7)           The Scheme shall become Effective as soon as a copy of the Scheme Court Order has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. This is expected to occur prior to the suspension of trading in Tritax EuroBox Shares. The events which are stated as occurring on subsequent dates are conditional on the Effective Date and operate by reference to that date.

(8)          This is the latest date by which the Scheme may become Effective unless: (i) Tritax EuroBox and Bidco agree a later date; or (ii) Bidco specifies a later date (in a competitive situation with the consent of the Panel) and, in each case, as the Court may allow.

Overseas jurisdictions

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement and any formal documentation relating to the Acquisition in, into or from jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and/or regulation and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to vote their Tritax EuroBox Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Court Meeting or the Resolution at the General Meeting, or to execute and deliver Forms of Proxy appointing another person to vote at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

This announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law and the City Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom.

All Tritax EuroBox Shareholders or other persons (including nominees, trustees and custodians) who would otherwise intend to or may have a contractual or legal obligation to forward this announcement and the accompanying Forms of Proxy to a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom should refrain from doing so and seek appropriate professional advice before taking any action.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders are included in the Scheme Document (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer, will be included in the Offer Document).

US investors

Tritax EuroBox Shareholders in the United States should note that the Acquisition relates to the shares of an English company with a listing on the London Stock Exchange and is proposed to be implemented pursuant to a scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the proxy solicitation or the tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the procedural and disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable in the United Kingdom to schemes of arrangement involving a target company incorporated in England and listed on the London Stock Exchange, which differ from the requirements of US proxy solicitation or tender offer rules.

However if, in the future, Bidco elects, with the consent of the Panel (where necessary), to implement the Acquisition by means of an Offer and determines to extend such Offer into the United States, such Offer will be made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Section 14(e) of the US Exchange Act and Regulation 14E. Such Offer would be made by Bidco (or its affiliate) and no one else.

Financial information included in this announcement (or, if the Acquisition is implemented by means of an Offer, the Offer Document) has been or will be prepared in accordance with UK IFRS and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States differ in certain significant respects from UK IFRS.

In accordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act (if applicable), Bidco, certain affiliated companies and their nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in Tritax EuroBox other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition becomes Effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. Also, in accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act (if applicable), Barclays and its affiliates will continue to act as exempt principal trader in Tritax EuroBox Shares on the London Stock Exchange. If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be made, they would occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices and would comply with applicable law, including the US Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service of the FCA and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website: www.londonstockexchange.com.

It may be difficult for US holders of Tritax EuroBox Shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since Bidco and Tritax EuroBox are each organised in countries other than the United States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of, and some or all of their assets may be located in, jurisdictions other than the United States. US holders of Tritax EuroBox Shares may have difficulty effecting service of process within the United States upon those persons or recovering against judgments of US courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the US federal securities laws. US holders of Tritax EuroBox Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's jurisdiction or judgment.

The receipt of consideration pursuant to the Acquisition by a Tritax EuroBox Shareholder may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes, and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state and local tax laws, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each Tritax EuroBox Shareholder is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition.

Forward-looking statements

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference into this announcement), oral statements regarding the Acquisition and other information published by Bidco and Tritax EuroBox contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, strategies, objectives, results of operations and business of Tritax EuroBox and its group and certain plans and objectives of Bidco with respect thereto. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Bidco and Tritax EuroBox about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on Bidco and Tritax EuroBox, the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "hope", "aims", "continue", "will", "may", "should", "would", "could", or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Bidco and/or Tritax EuroBox in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that are expected to occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and readers are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are changes in global, political, economic, business and/or competitive conditions, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or dispositions.

Each forward-looking statement speaks only as at the date of this announcement. Neither Bidco nor Tritax EuroBox, nor their respective groups, assumes any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this announcement (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law or by the rules of any competent regulatory authority.

No profit forecasts or estimates or Quantified Financial Benefits Statements

No statement in this announcement and the Scheme Document (including any statement of estimated synergies) is intended as a profit forecast or estimate for any period or a quantified financial benefits statement and no statement in this document should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share or dividend per share for Tritax EuroBox for the current or future financial periods would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per share or dividend per share for Tritax EuroBox.

Dealing and Opening Position Disclosure Requirements of the City Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the City Code, any person who is interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.

An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th Business Day (as defined in the City Code) following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th Business Day (as defined in the City Code) following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the City Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day (as defined in the City Code) following the date of the relevant dealing. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4). Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
