Proposed change of name

The notice incorporates the proposed change of name of the Company from "Stenprop Limited" to "Industrials REIT Limited" (the "name change") bringing it in line with the Company's Industrials operating business.

Listed real estate investors are increasingly choosing to invest in companies with targeted investment strategies in specific asset classes. This allows them to build a portfolio with a balance of sector exposures which meet their risk and return criteria, rather than investing in a diversified portfolio where the company or manager chooses the mix of assets. Many of the companies who pursue such strategies adopt a name which clearly reflects their investment strategy, and a long-term commitment to continuing to follow that strategy e.g., Supermarket Income REIT, Warehouse REIT, Urban Logistics REIT. Feedback received from the wealth management community indicates a strong preference for Stenprop to adopt a similar naming convention.

The name Stenprop was derived from Stenham Property, the fund management business which historically owned the business and seeded Stenprop with a multi-sector and geographically diverse portfolio. In 2017, the Company acquired the Industrials business, and in 2018, it embarked on a four-year transition programme which has seen it dispose of over £500 million of non-core assets, with the proceeds reinvested into the UK multi-let industrial ("MLI") property sector. A further £100 million of disposals of non-core assets are targeted this financial year, on completion of which Stenprop will be 100% MLI focused. As part of this transition, the Company has also built an operating platform, listed on the London Stock Exchange, converted to a UK REIT and significantly reduced its leverage.

The completion of the transition will mark the start of a new chapter for Stenprop. The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") believes that a change of name to Industrials REIT Limited would reflect the comprehensive nature of the transition and mark the start of the next phase for the Company as a fully-fledged MLI operating company.

The Board also notes that the Company's MLI business has for the past few years operated under a customer-facing brand called Industrials, with a web portal called industrials.co.uk. With the transition to a 100% MLI business almost complete, the Board believes that the corporate brand should be brought into alignment with the customer-facing brand. The end choice of Industrials REIT will keep the brands separate but brings this alignment and will wash the ethics, principles and culture of the Company across both brands. This would be helpful from a staff perspective (with many of Stenprop's employees more closely associated to Industrials than Stenprop) but will also mean that both investors and customers will have a similar experience with a consistency in look, feel and approach. The Company also recently launched the Industrials Hive brand for its MLI operating platform, adding to a family of brands under the Industrials umbrella which are able to operate autonomously but also in synchronicity.

Shareholders will be asked to consider, inter alia, the relevant resolution to approve the name change at the AGM. The Company will also seek shareholder approval to amend the memorandum and articles of incorporation of Stenprop to, amongst other things, reflect the name change with effect from 21 September 2021.

Stenprop will retain all previous trading history following the name change. The LSE share code and the JSE share code will change to "MLI" but the ISIN for the Company will remain the same.

Salient dates and times

The salient dates with regard to the name change and AGM are set out below:
