Tenant update

AEW UK REIT plc ("AEWU" or the "Company") notes the announcement made on 16 March 2026 that National Car Parks Limited ("NCP") has appointed joint administrators. The Company owns one property, Tanner Row in York, where NCP is a tenant, representing 78 per cent. of the annual rent currently received from this property. The Company is in the process of obtaining additional information from the administrator, who, in their initial statement notes that they will continue to trade the business for the time being, with no immediate changes to the day-to-day operations.

As at 31 December 2025, annual rental income due to the Company from NCP totalled £733,057 and represented 3.7% of AEWU's total contracted income (equivalent to approximately 0.11 pence per share per quarter). All amounts due to the Company by NCP for the December quarter have been paid however, given the timing of the administration, the earnings impact for the quarter ending 31 March 2026 will be assessed. As at 31 December 2025, Tanner Row, York was valued at £9.45m, representing 4.5 per cent of the Company's total portfolio value.

The mixed-use property at Tanner Row is centrally located within the York city walls. The 0.8 acre site is expected to be of interest to other operators as well as alternative uses, in the event that NCP should vacate, especially due to the land constrained nature of the location. The asset was purchased by the Company on 19 July 2023 for the price of £10.02m reflecting a net initial yield of 9.3%.

Further information will be provided as part of the Company's quarterly shareholder update or sooner if further material information is made available.
