PrimaryBid Offer

Sirius Real Estate Limited (LON: SRE), a leading owner and operator of branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany and the United Kingdom, is pleased to announce, a conditional offer for subscription of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") via PrimaryBid (the "PrimaryBid Offer"). The Company is also conducting an institutional placing of new Ordinary Shares by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process (the "Placing") and a placing of new Ordinary Shares to selected qualified investors in South Africa (the "South Africa Placing") as announced earlier today. The issue price of the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing, the South Africa Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer (the "Placing Price") will be determined following the close of the bookbuilding process.

In addition, as announced by the Company earlier today, certain directors and senior employees of the Company will also be subscribing for new Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price directly with the Company (the "Subscription", together with the Placing, the South Africa Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer, the "Fundraise").

The PrimaryBid Offer is conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the PrimaryBid Offer and the Placing being admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on

24 November 2023. The PrimaryBid Offer will not be completed without the Placing and the South Africa Placing also being completed.

The Company's directors believe that the conditions in the German and UK markets currently present a significant near term pipeline of attractive acquisition opportunities, and the Fundraise will provide the flexibility to execute on that pipeline and replenish funds following the recent acquisitions completed by BizSpace, Sirius' UK subsidiary, of assets in Liverpool, Barnsley and North London.

Reason for the PrimaryBid Offer

While the Placing has been structured as a non-pre-emptive offer within the Company's existing authorities from shareholders for non-pre-emptive offers so as to minimise cost and time to completion, the Company values its retail investor base and is therefore pleased to provide retail investors with the opportunity to participate in the PrimaryBid Offer in line with the Pre-Emption Group guidelines.

Existing shareholders and new investors can access the PrimaryBid Offer through PrimaryBid's website and on PrimaryBid's app . The PrimaryBid app is available on the UK Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Investors can also participate through PrimaryBid's extensive partner network of investment platforms, retail brokers and wealth managers, subject to such partners' participation. Participating partners include:

   --    AJ Bell; 
   --    Hargreaves Lansdown; and 
   --    interactive investor. 

Applications for new Ordinary Shares through participating partners can be made from tax efficient savings vehicles such as ISAs or SIPPs, as well as GIAs. Some partners may only accept applications from existing shareholders.

After consideration of the various options available to it, the Company believes that the separate PrimaryBid Offer is in the best interests of shareholders, as well as wider stakeholders in the Company.

The PrimaryBid Offer will open to investors resident and physically located in the United Kingdom following the release of this Announcement. The PrimaryBid Offer is expected to close at 6.00 p.m. on 20 November 2023 and may close early if it is oversubscribed.

There is a minimum subscription amount of GBP250 per investor in the PrimaryBid Offer.

The Company reserves the right to scale back any order at its discretion. The Company and PrimaryBid reserve the right to reject any application for subscription under the PrimaryBid Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.

Investors who apply for new Ordinary Shares through PrimaryBid's website or PrimaryBid's app will not be charged any fee or commission by PrimaryBid. It is vital to note that once an application for new Ordinary Shares has been made and accepted via PrimaryBid, that application cannot be withdrawn.

Investors wishing to apply for new Ordinary Shares through their investment platform, retail broker or wealth manager using their ISA, SIPP or GIA should contact them for details of their terms and conditions, process and any relevant fees or charges.

The new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the PrimaryBid Offer will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing, the South Africa Placing, the Subscription and the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
