TARGET HEALTHCARE REIT PLC

("Target" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Increase in Issue Size

Further to the Company's announcement on 26 August 2021, the Board of Target Healthcare REIT plc has carefully considered the strong level of support from investors during the marketing roadshow, along with the attractive investment pipeline sourced by the Investment Manager, and has consequently decided to increase the size of the Issue to a maximum of £125 million.

The timetable pursuant to the Issue remains unchanged except the latest time for the receipt of commitments under the Issue is now 1 p.m., on 9 September 2021. The results of the Issue are expected to be announced on 10 September 2021.

The New Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Shares. The New Shares will be issued in registered form and will be capable of being held in both certificated and uncertificated form.

The Issue is conditional, amongst other things, on Admission of the Ordinary Shares occurring no later than 8 a.m. on 14 September 2021 (or such later time and/or date as the Company, Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited ("Stifel") and Dickson Minto W.S. ("Dickson Minto" or "DM") may agree) and the Placing Agreement not being terminated and becoming unconditional in accordance with its terms.

The Company will apply for admission of the New Shares to listing on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange"). It is expected that settlement of subscriptions in respect of the New Shares and admission will take place and that trading in the New Shares will commence at 8 a.m. (London time) on 14 September 2021 ("Admission").

The Issue is not underwritten. The Issue may be scaled back by the Company for any reason, including where it is necessary to scale back allocations to ensure the Issue proceeds align with the Company's post fundraise acquisitions and leverage targets.

Information to Distributors

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements") and/or (where applicable to EEA investors and EEA firms) the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended (" Directive 2014/65/EU "); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing Directive 2014/65/EU ; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements   or the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements, as applicable) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the New Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as respectively defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook or the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements, as applicable; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Issue and the Placing Programme.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook or the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements, as applicable; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the New Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
