Results of Placing and Open Offer

On 4 April 2014, Green REIT plc ("Green REIT" or the "Company") announced details of a proposed Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer (the "Capital Raise") to raise approximately €400 million through the issue of, in aggregate, 356,969,696 New Ordinary Shares at an Issue Price of €1.12 per New Ordinary Share, with 267,727,272 New Ordinary Shares to be issued through the Placing and Open Offer and 89,242,424 New Ordinary Shares to be issued through the Firm Placing.

The Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 28 April 2014. Green REIT is pleased to announce that it has received valid acceptances under the Open Offer in respect of 192,224,948 Open Offer Shares from Qualifying Shareholders. This represents approximately 71.8 per cent. of the Open Offer Shares offered pursuant to the Open Offer.

Accordingly, the remaining 75,502,324 Open Offer Shares, representing approximately 28.2 per cent. of the Open Offer Shares to be issued through the Placing and Open Offer, have been allocated to the investors with whom they had been conditionally placed.

The Capital Raise is conditional upon, amongst other things, the approval by Shareholders of all of the Resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting (scheduled for 10.00 a.m. 1 May 2014) and upon Admission. Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange and to the UK Listing Authority for the 356,969,696 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to listing on the Official Lists and application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange for admission of such New Ordinary Shares to trading on their respective main markets for listed securities. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence in the New Ordinary Shares at 8.00 a.m. on 2 May 2014. Thereafter Green REIT will have a total of 666,969,696 Ordinary Shares in issue.

Certain statements contained in this announcement constitute "forward-looking statements" regarding the beliefs or current expectations of the Company, the Directors, Green Property REIT Ventures Limited (the "Investment Manager") and/or the Management Team about the Company's financial condition, results of operations and business. Generally, but not always, words such as "may", "could", "should", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "assume", "believe", "plan", "seek", "continue", "target", "goal", "would" or their negative variations or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Rather, they are based on current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company and the Investment Manager and are difficult to predict, which may cause the actual results, performance, achievements or developments of the Company or the industries in which it operates to differ materially from any future results, performance, achievement or developments expressed or implied from these forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. A number of material factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. None of the Company, the Investment Manager, J.P. Morgan Cazenove nor Davy undertakes any obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, unanticipated events, new information or otherwise occurring after the date of this announcement except as required by law or by any appropriate regulatory authority.

The New Ordinary Shares are only suitable for investors who understand the potential risk of capital loss and that there may be limited liquidity in the underlying investments of the Company and in the New Ordinary Shares, for whom an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is part of a diversified investment programme and who fully understand and are willing to assume the risks involved in such an investment programme. There is no guarantee that the Issue will proceed and that Admission will occur and you should not base your financial decisions on the Company's intention in relation to Admission and Issue at this stage. Acquiring the New Ordinary Shares to which this announcement relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all of the amount invested. When considering what further action you should take you are recommended to immediately consult, if you are resident in Ireland, an organisation or firm authorised or exempted pursuant to the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007 (Nos. 1 to 3) or the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 (as amended) and, if you are resident in the United Kingdom, a person authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended of the United Kingdom, or another appropriately authorised professional adviser if you are in a territory outside Ireland or the United Kingdom. This announcement does not constitute a recommendation concerning the Issue. The price and value of the New Ordinary Shares may decrease as well as increase. Information in this announcement, past performance and any documents relating to the Issue or Admission cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance.

J.P. Morgan Cazenove, which is in the United Kingdom authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority (the "PRA") and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and the PRA, is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with Admission and the Issue and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing any advice in relation to the Capital Raise or any other matter referred to in this announcement.

The Joint Bookrunners or any of their respective affiliates do not intend to disclose the extent of any such investments or transactions otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory obligations to do so. In addition the Joint Bookrunners or their respective affiliates may enter into financing arrangements (including swaps or contracts for difference) with investors in connection with which the Banks (or their affiliates) may from time to time acquire, hold or dispose of Ordinary Shares.

None of the Company, the Investment Manager, J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Davy or any of their respective affiliates, their respective directors, officers or employees, or any other person accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for the contents of, or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, correctness or fairness of the information or opinions contained in, this announcement or any document referred to in this announcement (or whether any information has been omitted from this announcement) or any other information relating to the Company or the Investment Manager or their respective affiliates, whether written, oral or in a visual or electronic form, and howsoever transmitted or made available or for any loss howsoever arising from any use of the announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.
