| SHOULD BE STATED:                                                          | 
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| Max Property Group Plc is a newly formed Jersey incorporated closed-ended  | 
| real estate investment company. On Admission, the Company will have an     | 
| experienced Board, chaired by Aubrey Adams, and will be externally managed | 
| by Prestbury Investments LLP, which is owned and managed by a team led by  | 
| Nick Leslau and Mike Brown.                                                | 
| The Company's strategy is to exploit the current cyclical weakness in the  | 
| UK real estate market through opportunistic investment and active          | 
| management with a view to realising cash returns for shareholders over an  | 
| investment cycle of approximately seven and a half years.                  | 
| The intention of the Directors is to create significant value for          | 
| shareholders, principally through the following:                           | 
| *                                                                          | 
| exploiting the current weakness of the UK real estate sector;*             | 
| targeting properties which meet specific investment criteria: properties   | 
| that are well located for their use; that have scope for medium term value | 
| enhancement through active asset management; and where downside is         | 
| protected through long term, secure rental flows or through underlying     | 
| capital values either in existing or alternative uses;*                    | 
| using borrowings with a view to enhancing equity returns; and*             | 
| enhancing rental and capital growth through active asset management,       | 
| and then returning value to shareholders over the investment cycle.        | 
| The Company will focus on UK real estate assets and the intention is to    | 
| seek out investments wherever and in whatever asset class the Directors    | 
| consider the best opportunities lie without specific restrictions on the   | 
| size of a single investment, exposure to a specific asset class, or a      | 
| particular type of tenant or geographical area. The Directors' aim is to   | 
| seek to provide a spread of asset classes, tenant exposures, tenures and   | 
| locations as the Company's portfolio expands.                              | 
| The Company will not speculatively develop, invest outside the UK or take  | 
| unhedged interest rate risk.                                               | 
| The Company will invest in assets over a five year period. After the end   | 
| of those five years it will not seek new acquisitions and will manage and  | 
| realise its assets with a view to making a final return to shareholders    | 
| over an investment cycle which, depending on prevailing market conditions, | 
| is anticipated to be seven and a half years from Admission.                | 
| The Management Team, comprising Nick Leslau, Mike Brown, Sandy Gumm and    | 
| Tim Evans, between them have extensive experience in the UK real estate    | 
| market over more than 25 years (with over 65 years of combined experience  | 
| in real estate), and with a track record of having successfully created    | 
| value for shareholders through previous economic cycles (including         | 
| significant market out-performance during the recession of the early       | 
| 1990's). Nick Leslau, Mike Brown and Sandy Gumm all have relevant          | 
| experience as directors of UK listed companies.                            | 
| Prestbury Investments LLP has committed to providing exclusive deal flow   | 
| to the Company (with certain limited exceptions) for a period of at least  | 
| five years from Admission. Prior to entering into an agreement to acquire  | 
| any property, Prestbury Investments LLP, on behalf of the Group, will      | 
| expect to perform due diligence on the proposed investment. In so doing,   | 
| it would typically rely in part on third parties to conduct a significant  | 
| portion of this due diligence (including legal reports on title and        | 
| property valuations).                                                      | 
|                                                                            |
