7 April 2015 Mill Residential REIT plc (the"Company") Repayment of Related Party Loans Mill Residential REIT plc (AIM: MRR), the UK's first mainstream, buy-to-let REIT specialising in residential property investment, announces that it has reached agreement with Mill Group Limited for the early repayment of certain loans in consideration for the waiver of 50 per cent. of the interest payable on those loans. The two loans will be repaid out of the Company's existing cash resources. The Company intends to replace these loans with bank debt in due course at a cheaper interest rate. Full details of these loans aggregating to approximately £1.5 million are set out in paragraph 10.10 of Part VIII: Additional Information of the Company's admission document dated 17 December 2014. The Company has agreed with Mill Group Limited to repay both the loans in return for a 50 per cent. reduction in the interest rate payable since the loans were drawn down, resulting in a saving of £18,631 during the 2015 calendar year and a further potential £100,000 over the three year life of the second loan. Due to the fact that Mill Group Limited is a subsidiary of Mill Group Holdings Limited, an entity ultimately controlled by David Toplas' family trusts, and Simon Phillips and Andrew Smith, and each are a substantial shareholder under the AIM Rules, the alterations of the terms of the loans constitute related party transactions as defined by the AIM Rules. The Independent Directors, being Ian Ellis and Brian Norton, having consulted with Sanlam Securities UK Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the alterations of the terms of the loans are fair and reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned. Ian Ellis, Non-Executive Chairman, commented: "The cash and gearing position of the Company is something which the Board continuously monitors. Paying interest on borrowed money at six per cent. per annum only to leave the cash on deposit account earning virtually no interest does not make financial sense. The first loan of £840,000 was within a few weeks of its contracted repayment date and that raised the question internally whether we needed the second loan of £ 667,000 to remain in place and whether Mill Group would accept an early repayment of this loan as well and forego earning six per cent. per annum on it. We are pleased that a full early repayment has been agreed and interest chargeable to date has been halved. Mill Group Limited has also indicated that it will be supportive in the event that an appropriate acquisition target is identified and as the current portfolio is unleveraged it offers the Company a considerable amount of flexibility when targets are found."

In brief, a UK real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, and in most cases, manages income-producing real estate. Modelled after mutual funds, REITs provide investors of all types stable income streams, diversification and long-term capital appreciation. Rental income of the REIT will, in most cases, be exempt from UK taxation. REITs are required to pay out 90 per cent. of their calculated net exempt income as a special type of dividend (known as a property income distribution or PID) to shareholders. In turn, shareholders will be subject to tax on those dividends (unless falling within certain exemptions such as registered pension schemes or charities). REITs allow anyone to invest in portfolios of properties the same way they invest in other industries i.e. through the purchase of shares in the REIT. In the same way shareholders benefit by owning shares in other corporations, the shareholders of a REIT earn a share of the income produced through real estate investment without actually having to go out and buy or finance property. PIDs are therefore subject to taxation as if they are a separate property income stream. REITs also have the advantage of being exempt from corporation tax on most property capital gains, which brings various benefits such as having a competitive advantage on corporate acquisitions. This benefit can potentially be shared with the vendor to increase their post-tax proceeds and reduce the REITs purchase price. In the UK, REITs own many types of commercial real estate, ranging from office and apartment buildings to warehouses, hospitals, shopping centres and hotels. Mill Residential REIT would be the first REIT focused solely on the mainstream, UK residential property market.
