("AIRE" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Publication of Rule 29 Valuation Report

On 12 June 2026, Glenstone REIT plc ("Glenstone") announced a firm intention to make a cash offer, to be implemented by way of a takeover offer, for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of AIRE not already owned or controlled by Glenstone (the "Glenstone Offer").

On 16 June 2026, the independent directors of AIRE, namely Simon Bennett and Stephanie Eastment (the "Independent Board"), published a response to the Glenstone Offer and advised AIRE Shareholders to take no action in relation to the Glenstone Offer. In that announcement, the Independent Board noted, amongst other things, that the Glenstone Offer represented a significant discount to AIRE's latest published unaudited net asset value of 84.4 pence per share as at 31 March 2026, which was based on a portfolio of 19 investment properties valued at £103.45 million.

AIRE announces today the publication of a valuation report on the Company's property portfolio prepared by Knight Frank LLP ("Knight Frank") and dated 6 July 2026 (the "Independent Valuation Report").

The Independent Valuation Report has been commissioned by the Independent Board and prepared by Knight Frank in accordance with Rule 29 of the Takeover Code in connection with the Glenstone Offer.

The Independent Valuation Report relates to the valuation of AIRE's property portfolio as at 31 March 2026, which formed the basis of the Company's published unaudited net asset value of 84.4 pence per share as at that date. As AIRE has referred to this net asset value and property portfolio value in the context of the offer period and the Glenstone Offer, including in announcements published during the offer period, the Independent Valuation Report is expressed to have been prepared for the purposes of Rule 29 of the Takeover Code in respect of the Glenstone Offer.

A copy of the Independent Valuation Report has been made available today on AIRE's website: www.alternativeincomereit.com.

For the purposes of Rule 29.5 of the Code the Independent Board confirms that it has received confirmation from Knight Frank that an updated valuation of the Company's property portfolio as at the date of this announcement would not be materially different from the valuation contained in the Independent Valuation Report as at 31 March 2026.

Accordingly, the Independent Board continues to consider the Company's published unaudited net asset value of 84.4 pence per share as at 31 March 2026 to be an appropriate reference point for Shareholders when considering the Glenstone Offer.

Knight Frank has given and has not withdrawn its written consent to the publication of the Independent Valuation Report, the references to its name in this announcement in the form and context in which they appear, and the inclusion of the Independent Valuation Report on AIRE's website. Knight Frank has authorised the contents of the Independent Valuation Report for the purposes of Rule 29 of the Takeover Code.

For the purposes of Rule 29.6(a) of the Takeover Code, the Independent Board have considered the potential tax liability which would arise if the assets within the Company's property portfolio were sold at the valuations contained in the Independent Valuation Report. Generally, disposals by a UK REIT of assets located in the UK and held for the purposes of its property rental business should be exempt from UK corporation tax; however, specific rules may result in assets held as part of the property rental business being subject to tax on disposal (for example when a property is materially developed and sold within three years of completion of that development). On the basis of the Company's ongoing status as a UK REIT and the information currently available to it, the Independent Board estimates that the amount of any such potential tax liability would be £nil.

Your attention is also drawn to the important information at the end of this announcement.
