0.375 pence of the dividend will be paid as a Property Income Distribution ("PID") in respect of the Company's tax exempt property rental business and 0.375 pence will be paid as an Ordinary UK dividend ("non-PID").

The Company is targeting a dividend of at least 3.0 pence per Ordinary Share for the first financial period from the date of admission to 30 September 2018¹. ReSI intends to pay dividends to Shareholders on a quarterly basis and in accordance with the REIT regime.

On a fully invested and geared basis, ReSI is targeting a dividend yield of 5% per annum based on the issue price of 100 pence per Ordinary Share, which ReSI expects to increase broadly in line with inflation, and a total return in excess of 8% per annum¹.

¹ These are targets only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that the targets will be met.

NOTES:

Residential Secure Income plc (LSE: RESI) is listed on the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and was admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in July 2017.

ReSI has been established to invest in portfolios of Homes across residential asset classes that comprise the stock of Housing Associations and Local Authorities, comprising Shared Ownership Homes and Rental Homes (being Market Rental Homes, Functional Homes and Sub-Market Rental Homes) throughout the UK. 

ReSI is managed by ReSI Capital Management Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of TradeRisks Limited which has a 17 year track record of executing transactions within the UK social housing sector and, to date, has arranged funding of over £10 billion in the social housing, care and other specialist residential property sectors.

ReSI seeks to deliver secure, long-dated, inflation-linked income returns through investment in UK social housing. It aims to meet demand from Housing Associations and Local Authorities for alternative equity-like financing sources that allows them to recycle capital back into socially and economically beneficial new housing, making a meaningful contribution to the UK housing shortage.

Homes acquired by ReSI will predominantly be on a freehold or long leasehold basis (typically 99 years or more to maturity) and benefit from long term (typically 20 years plus) inflation-adjusted cash flows. Acquisitions by ReSI will be limited to Homes with sufficient cashflows, counterparty credit quality and property security that allow the Fund Manager to arrange long-term investment grade equivalent debt.
