EUROPEAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST LIMITED ("the Company")

20 March 2015

Return of capital

Further to the approval by the Company's shareholders of the winding down proposals (as described in the Circular to shareholders on 12 July 2011) the Company today announces that it will return approximately GBP3.6 million (equivalent to 12.1 pence per share) on 31 March 2015 (the "Redemption Date") by way of a compulsory partial redemption of shares (the "Fourth Redemption").

The Fourth Redemption will be effected at the estimated unaudited Redemption Net Asset Value per share as at 20 March 2015 of 168 pence per share. The Redemption will be affected pro rata to holdings of shares on the register at the close of business on the Redemption Record Date, being 31 March 2015 . On this basis 7.2 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital would be redeemed on the Redemption Date.

Fractions of shares will not be redeemed and so the number of shares to be redeemed for each shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

The amount to be applied to the partial redemption of shares comprises monies from the Company's existing cash balances. As at today's date, the Company has 29,648,273 shares in issue of which none are held in treasury.

All shares that are redeemed will be cancelled with effect from the relevant Redemption Date. Accordingly, once redeemed, shares will be incapable of transfer.

The Shares will all be disabled in CREST after close of business on the Redemption Date and the existing ISIN number GG00BNJZV473 (the "Old ISIN") will expire.

The new ISIN number GG00BWFRB844 (the "New ISIN") in respect of the remaining Shares which have not been redeemed will be enabled and available for transactions from and including 1 April 2015.

Up to and including the Redemption Date, Shares will be traded under the Old ISIN and as such, a purchaser of such Shares would have a market claim for a proportion of the redemption proceeds. CREST will automatically transform any open transactions as at the Redemption Date into the New ISIN.

Expected timetable for redemption:

Record Date, Redemption date and expiry of old ISIN number 31 March 2015

New ISIN number enabled 1 April 2015

   Redemption monies paid (expected) uncertificated holdings:                   week of 30 March 2015

certificated holdings: week of 6 April 2015
