First day of dealings

Further to the announcement on 7 July 2017, the Company is pleased to announce that 180 million ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares") will today be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority ("Admission"). The Ordinary Shares will trade under the ticker: RESI (ISIN: GB00BYSX1508).

The total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in issue immediately following Admission is 180,000,000 each with equal voting rights. This total voting rights figure can be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.

NOTES:

The Company intends to invest in portfolios of Homes across residential asset classes that comprise the stock of Housing Associations and Local Authorities, comprising Shared Ownership Homes, Market Rental Homes, Functional Homes and Sub-Market Rental Homes throughout the UK.

Homes acquired by the Company 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 the Company 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.

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

The Company expects to make a meaningful contribution to the UK housing shortage by allowing Housing Associations and Local Authorities to recycle capital into socially and economically beneficial new housing.
