Announcement regarding RDI REIT P.L.C. ('RDI')

Further to the announcement made by RDI on 27 March 2019 in relation to a possible offer for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of RDI by Cromwell Property Group or its affiliated entities ('Cromwell'), Cromwell confirms that, following a period of diligence it submitted a conditional proposal subject to a short extension under Rule 2.6 (c) of the Code and RDI Board approval. The RDI Board considered the proposal to undervalue RDI and its prospects and, as a result, the RDI Board has taken the decision not to support a further period of due diligence. Accordingly, Cromwell confirms that, pursuant to Rule 2.8 of the Code, it does not intend to make an offer for RDI.

Cromwell remains focused on its 'Invest To Manage' strategy and will continue to leverage its ability to originate value enhancing opportunities across its businesses in Australia, Singapore and Europe. Cromwell has identified several accretive value-add developments across the existing Australian balance sheet portfolio and is actively pursuing other opportunities across its funds platform in Australia and Europe.

This is an announcement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. As a result of this announcement, Cromwell will, except with the consent of the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the 'Panel'), be bound by the restrictions contained in Rule 2.8 of the Code.

Under Note 2 on Rule 2.8 of the Code, Cromwell, and any person acting in concert with Cromwell, reserves the right to set aside the restrictions in Rule 2.8 in the following circumstances:

(i) with the agreement of the board of directors of RDI;

(ii) following the announcement of a firm intention to make an offer for RDI by or on behalf of a third party;

(iii) following the announcement by RDI of a 'whitewash' proposal (as described in Note 1 of the Notes on Dispensations from Rule 9 of the Code) or a reverse takeover (as defined in the Code); or

(iv) where the Panel has determined that there has been a material change of circumstances.

Cromwell, and any person acting in concert with Cromwell, reserves the right to acquire RDI shares, subject to, and in accordance with, the restrictions above, the Code and other applicable regulations.
