*A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.
Every shareholder has one vote for every Ordinary Share held. As at 3 August 2026 the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 1,246,239,185 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total voting number of voting rights in the Company is currently 1,246,239,185 Ordinary Shares.
Applications have been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("UK Admission"), and for listing on the premium segment of the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the "JSE") ("JSE Admission" and, together with UK Admission, "Admission"). It is expected that UK Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on the London Stock Exchange, at 8.00 a.m. (BST) on 5 August 2026, and that JSE Admission will become effective, and dealings will commence on the JSE, at 9.00 a.m. (SAST) on 5 August 2026.
Following Admission, the Company will have 1,366,721,113 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury and, therefore, following Admission, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 1,366,721,113. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The full text of the resolution can be found in the Notice of General Meeting dated 16 July 2026, a copy of which is available on the Company's website at Equity Issuance - Supermarket Income REIT Plc.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2 a copy of the resolution passed at the General Meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Launch Announcement.
