Bornem, Belgium - adding value through development

In line with our strategy to increase our exposure to attractive development opportunities, we have successfully let a newly constructed 15,000 sqm building to a leading online grocery retailer.

Key highlights include:

-- Nine year lease, tenant break options at year three and six including annual indexed rent generating EUR0.7m per annum initially.

-- Rental levels achieved represent a 14% increase on previous rents secured on the site.

-- Delivers significant value to shareholders with a profit on cost of 70% and yield on cost of 7%.

-- Meets our ESG objectives through implementation of a green lease, installation of 250kw per annum of solar renewable energy as well as energy efficient LED lighting.

Nick Preston, Fund Manager of Tritax EuroBox, commented:

"These leases demonstrate the successful implementation of our strategy, delivering attractive levels of rental growth to our shareholders through a combination of asset management and development activity. Our proactivity complements the attractive long-term and inflation linked income generating characteristics of our portfolio. In addition, these leases provide further evidence of the accelerating levels of rental growth within key European logistics locations. Through a combination of our strong existing portfolio, asset management and increasing development activity we are well placed to capture the strong fundamentals that are driving rental and valuation growth."
