SUPERMARKET INCOME REIT PLC

(the "Company", together with its subsidiaries the "Group")

Increase in Initial Issue Size

Since the Company's announcement on 17 September 2020, the Board of Supermarket Income REIT plc has carefully considered the appropriate size of the Initial Issue and decided to increase the target from approximately £150 million to up to £200 million.

The Board has based this on:

· a strong level of support from investors;

· its confidence in executing on the Pipeline; and

· an increase in further appropriate investment opportunities since the marketing roadshow began.

The Initial Issue is being conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Prospectus published by the Company on 17 September 2020 following its approval by the Financial Conduct Authority.

The timetable pursuant to the Initial Issue remains unchanged except the latest time for the receipt of commitments under the Placing is now 4.00 p.m., on 6 October 2020. The results of the Initial Issue will be announced on 7 October 2020.

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares (save for any dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid on the Ordinary Shares by reference to a record date prior to the allotment of the New Ordinary Shares and any relevant Placing Programme Shares). The New Ordinary Shares will be issued in registered form and will be capable of being held in both certificated and uncertificated form.

Applications will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings for normal settlement in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on the London Stock Exchange by 8.00 a.m. on 9 October 2020.

The Initial Issue is not underwritten. The Placing may be scaled back in order to satisfy valid applications under the Offer for Subscription, and the Offer for Subscription may be scaled back in favour of the Placing. The Initial Issue may be scaled back by the Company for any reason, including where it is necessary to scale back allocations to ensure the Initial Issue proceeds align with the Company's post fundraise acquisitions and leverage targets.

Capitalised words and expressions used in this announcement have the same meaning in the Prospectus published on 17 September 2020.

 

Important Information

This Announcement is an advertisement and does not constitute a prospectus relating to the Company and does not constitute, or form part of, any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or an invitation to purchase investments of any description, or any solicitation of any offer to subscribe for, any securities in the Company in any jurisdiction nor shall it, or any part of it, or the fact of its distribution, form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with or act as any inducement to enter into, any contract therefor. Copies of the prospectus to be published by the Company will be available from www.supermarketincomereit.com.

 

Recipients of this Announcement who are considering acquiring Ordinary Shares, including any New Ordinary Shares, are reminded that any such acquisition must be made only on the basis of the information to be contained in the Prospectus (or any supplementary prospectus) which may be different from the information contained in this Announcement and must not be made in reliance on this Announcement. The subscription for New Ordinary Shares is subject to specific legal or regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions. Persons distributing this Announcement must satisfy themselves that it is lawful to do so. The Company assumes no responsibility in the event that there is a violation by any person of such restrictions.

 

This Announcement does not constitute and may not constitute and may not be construed as a recommendation regarding the issue or the provision of investment advice by any party. No information set out in this Announcement is intended to form the basis of any contract of sale, investment decision or any decision to purchase securities. Potential investors should consult a professional advisor as to the suitability of an investment in the securities for the person concerned.

 

The value of Ordinary Shares and the income from them is not guaranteed and can fall as well as rise due to stock market and currency movements. When you sell your investment you may get back less than you originally invested. Figures refer to past performance and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Capital is at risk and investors need to understand the risks of investing. Please refer to the Prospectus when published for further information, in particular the "Risk Factors" section.

 

This Announcement may not be published, distributed, released or transmitted by any means or media, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, in or into the United States. This Announcement does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in the United States. The securities mentioned herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and will not be offered, sold, exercised, resold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any US person (as defined under Regulation S under the US Securities Act) unless registered under the US Securities Act or offered in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. There will be no public offer of the shares in the United States. The Company has not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

Neither this Announcement nor any copy of it may be: (i) taken or transmitted into or distributed in Canada, Australia, Japan or the Republic of South Africa or to any resident thereof, or (ii) taken or transmitted into or distributed in Japan or to any resident thereof, or (iii) any other jurisdiction where to do so might constitute a violation of the relevant laws or regulations of such jurisdiction. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws or the laws of any such jurisdiction. The distribution of this Announcement in other jurisdictions may be restricted by law and the persons into whose possession this Announcement comes should inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions.

 

This Announcement may include "forward-looking statements". All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Announcement, including, without limitation, those regarding the Company's investment strategy, plans, objectives and target returns are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and accordingly the Company's actual future financial results and operational performance may differ materially from the results and performance expressed in, or implied by, the statements. These factors include but are not limited to those described in the Prospectus, when published. These forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of this Announcement. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect actual results or any change in the assumptions, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based unless required to do so by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the Prospectus Regulation Rules or other applicable laws, regulations or rules.

 

Stifel is acting only for the Company as financial adviser, sole bookrunner and placing agent in connection with the matters described in this Announcement and is not acting for or advising any other person, or treating any other person as its client in relation thereto and will not be responsible for providing the regulatory protection afforded to the duties of Stifel or advice to any other person in relation to the matters contained herein. Such persons should seek their own independent legal, investment and tax advice as they see fit.

 

Neither Stifel or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisers, affiliates or agents accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for/or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the information in this Announcement (or whether any information has been omitted from the announcement) or any other information relating to the Company or its subsidiaries, 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.

 

This Announcement and the Prospectus have not been, and will not be, lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission as a disclosure document under Chapter 6D of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (the "Australian Corporations Act''). This Announcement and the Prospectus does not purport to include the information required of a disclosure document under Chapter 6D of the Australian Corporations Act. Accordingly, this Announcement and the Prospectus and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of New Ordinary Shares must not be issued or distributed directly or indirectly in or into Australia, and no New Ordinary Shares may be offered for sale (or transferred, assigned or otherwise alienated) to investors in Australia for at least 12 months after their issue, except in circumstances where disclosure to investors is not required under Part 6D.2 of the Australian Corporations Act. Each purchaser of New Ordinary Shares will be deemed to have acknowledged the above and, by applying for New Ordinary Shares under this Announcement on the basis of the Prospectus, gives an undertaking to the Company not to offer, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise alienate those securities to persons in Australia (except in the circumstances referred to above) for 12 months after their issue.

 

The New Ordinary Shares have been and will not be qualified by a prospectus in accordance with the document requirements under applicable securities law in any Canadian jurisdiction and therefore may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Canada except in compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws. 23

 

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area (each, a "Member State"), no New Ordinary Shares have been offered or will be offered pursuant to the Initial Issue to the public in that Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the New Ordinary Shares having been approved by the competent authority in that Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Member State (all in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation), except that offers of New Ordinary Shares may be made to the public in that Member State at any time under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Regulation:

 

a) to any legal entity which is a "qualified investor" as defined under the Prospectus Regulation;

 

b) fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than "qualified investors" as defined under the Prospectus Regulation), subject to obtaining the prior consent of Stifel for any such offer; or

 

c) in any other circumstances falling within Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation,

 

provided that no such offer of New Ordinary Shares shall require the Company to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation.

 

For the purposes of this provision, the expression "offer to the public" in relation to any offer of New Ordinary Shares in any Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the Initial Issue, and any New Ordinary Shares to be offered, so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for any New Ordinary Shares.

 

In the case of any New Ordinary Shares being offered to a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 5 of the Prospectus Regulation, such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and agreed that the New Ordinary Shares purchased and/or subscribed for by it in the Initial Issue have not been purchased and/or subscribed for on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been purchased and/or subscribed for with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any New Ordinary Shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a Member State to "qualified investors" (as defined in the Prospectus Regulation) or in circumstances in which the prior consent of Stifel has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.

 

The Company and its affiliates, representatives and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation, warranty, acknowledgement and agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a person who is not a qualified investor and who has notified Stifel of such fact in writing may, with the consent of Stifel, be permitted to subscribe for and/or purchase New Ordinary Shares in the Initial Issue.

 

The New Ordinary Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Law No. 25 of 1948 as amended) ("Financial Instruments and Exchange Act"), and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, a resident of Japan (including any corporation or entity organised under the laws of Japan) or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Securities and Exchange Law and other relevant laws and regulations of Japan.

 

This document will not be registered as a prospectus in terms of the Companies Act 1973 in South Africa and, as such, any offer of New Ordinary Shares in South Africa may only be made if it shall not be capable of being construed as an offer to the public as envisaged by section 144 of the Companies Act 1973 in South Africa. Furthermore, any offer or sale of the New Ordinary Shares shall be subject to compliance with South Africa's exchange control regulations.

 

This Announcement and the Prospectus may only be freely circulated and interests in the Company may only be freely offered, distributed or sold to regulated financial intermediaries such as banks, securities dealers, fund management companies, asset managers of collective investment schemes and central banks as well as to regulated insurance companies. Circulating this Announcement and the Prospectus and offering, distributing or selling New Ordinary Shares to other persons or entities including qualified investors as defined in the Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes ("CISA") and its implementing Ordinance ("CISO") may trigger, in particular, (i) licensing/prudential supervision requirements for the distributor and/or the Company, (ii) a requirement to appoint a representative and paying agent in Switzerland and (iii) the necessity of a written distribution agreement between the representative in Switzerland and the distributor. Accordingly, legal advice should be sought before providing this document to and offering, distributing or selling/on-selling New Ordinary Shares to any other persons or entities. This Announcement and the Prospectus does not constitute an issuance prospectus pursuant to Articles 652a or 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations and may not comply with the information standards required thereunder. The New Ordinary Shares will not be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange nor on any other stock exchange or regulated trading facility in Switzerland, and consequently, the information presented in this Announcement and the Prospectus does not necessarily comply with the information and disclosure standards set out in the relevant listing rules. The documentation of the Company has not been and will not be filed and approved, and may not be able to be approved, by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA ("FINMA") under the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA). Therefore, investors do not benefit from protection under the CISA or supervision by FINMA. This document does not constitute investment advice. It may only be used by those persons to whom it has been provided in connection with the New Ordinary Shares and may neither be copied nor directly or indirectly distributed or made available to other persons. If you (or any person for whom you are acquiring New Ordinary Shares) are in Switzerland, you (and any such person) represent and warrant that you are (i) a regulated financial intermediary such as a bank, securities dealer, fund management company, asset manager of collective investment schemes or a central bank, or (ii) a regulated insurance institution.

 

The Initial Issue is not a public offering (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of securities in the United States. The New Ordinary Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with applicable securities laws of any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.

g) if all or part of the funds that it is using or will use to acquire New Ordinary Shares are assets of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets for purposes of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of a plan's investment in the entity, (i) its acquisition of New Ordinary Shares is permissible under the documents governing the investment of such plan assets; (ii) it has concluded that the acquisition of New Ordinary Shares is consistent with applicable fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, including ERISA's prudence and diversification requirements, if applicable, and other applicable law; and (iii) its acquisition and the subsequent holding of New Ordinary Shares do not and will not constitute a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

 

Each subscriber for New Ordinary Shares located within the United States, by accepting delivery of this Announcement and the Prospectus, will be deemed to have represented, agreed and acknowledged that it has received a copy of this Announcement and the Prospectus and such other information as it deems necessary to make an investment decision, that all of the foregoing representations (b) - (f) are hereby made and that:

b) it or a purchaser representative, adviser or consultant relied upon by it in reaching a decision to subscribe has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters as to enable it or such adviser or consultant to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto;

 

c) it understands and agrees that the New Ordinary Shares (i) will be offered and sold to it in a transaction that will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state law, (ii) have not been and will not be registered for offer or sale by it under the Securities Act or any state law, and (iii) may not be reoffered or resold except in accordance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and all relevant state securities and blue sky laws, rules and regulations; and it understands that the Company has no intention to register the Company, the New Ordinary Shares with the SEC or any state and is under no obligation to assist it in obtaining or complying with any exemption from registration. The Company may require that any transferor furnish a legal opinion satisfactory to the Company and its counsel that the proposed transfer complies with any applicable federal, state and any other applicable securities laws. Appropriate stop transfer instructions may be placed with respect to the New Ordinary Shares and any certificates issued representing the New Ordinary Shares will contain the following legend;

e) it recognises that there is currently no public market for the New Ordinary Shares in the United States and that such a market in the United States is not expected to develop; its overall commitment to the Company and other investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and it has no need for immediate liquidity in its investment in the New Ordinary Shares;

Information to Distributors

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the New Ordinary Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution to retail investors through advised sales only and to professional clients and eligible counterparties through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Initial Issue and the Placing Programme.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Ordinary Shares.

 

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

 

Marketing disclosures pursuant to AIFMD (as defined below)

 

The Company is an externally managed alternative investment fund and has appointed the AIFM as its alternative investment fund manager.

 

Pursuant to Article 23 of AIFMD and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Regulations 2013 (No. 1173/2013) and the Investment Funds Sourcebook of the FCA (the "UK AIFMD Rules"), the AIFM is required to make available to persons in the European Union who are invited to and who choose to participate in the Initial Issue, by making an oral or written offer to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares, including any individuals, funds or others on whose behalf a commitment to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares is given (the "Subscribers") certain information (the "Article 23 Disclosures"). For the purposes of the Initial Issue, the AIFM has made the Article 23 Disclosures available to Subscribers in the 'Investor - Shareholder Information' section of the Company's website at: www.supermarketincomereit.com.

 

PRIIPS (as defined below)

 

In accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products ("PRIIPs") and its implementing and delegated acts (the "PRIIPs Regulation"), the AIFM has prepared a key information document (the "KID") in respect of the Ordinary Shares. The KID is made available by the AIFM to "retail investors" prior to them making an investment decision in respect of the Ordinary Shares at www.supermarketincomereit.com.

 

If you are distributing Ordinary Shares, it is your responsibility to ensure that the KID is provided to any clients that are "retail clients".

 

The Company is the only manufacturer of the Ordinary Shares for the purposes of the PRIIPs Regulation and none of Stifel or the AIFM are manufacturers for these purposes. None of Stifel or the AIFM makes any representations, express or implied, or accepts any responsibility whatsoever for the contents of the KID prepared by the Company nor accepts any responsibility to update the contents of the KID in accordance with the PRIIPs Regulation, to undertake any review processes in relation thereto or to provide the KID to future distributors of Ordinary Shares. Each of Stifel or the AIFM and their respective affiliates accordingly disclaim all and any liability whether arising in tort or contract or otherwise which it or they might have in respect of the key information documents prepared by the Company. Investors should note that the procedure for calculating the risks, costs and potential returns in the KID are prescribed by laws. The figures in the KID may not reflect actual returns for the Company and anticipated performance returns cannot be guaranteed.
