Gravity Investment Group Limited has decided not to exercise its right to subscribe for 15 million Restricted Preference Shares.

The Restricted Preference Shares, their terms and the rights attaching to them are described in the Circular, and the full terms of the Restricted Preference Shares are set out in the new articles of association (the "New Articles") adopted by the Company at the general meeting held on 20 February 2017. Copies of the Circular and of the New Articles can be found on the Company's website www.kandc-reit.co.uk.

Under the terms of the Cancellation Deeds (as defined in the Circular), the issue of the Restricted Preference Shares to Timothy James, Christopher James and Benjamin James in the amounts set out above automatically resulted in the cancellation of the Executive Option Arrangements for those individuals.

The Restricted Preference Shares only vest in stages. In order for all the Restricted Preference Shares to vest in full, Assets under Management must exceed GBP100 million and the NAV Per Share must exceed 15p, both more demanding Milestones than those required under the Executive Option Arrangements. Full details of the Milestones are set out in the Circular and in the announcement issued by the Company on 27 January 2017
