1. Introduction

The Company on 25 October 2021 announced a positive trading update following the close of its interim reporting period ended 30 September 2021.

Highlights from the trading update were as follows:

  • 99.4 per cent. occupancy across 91 logistics properties;
  • Rent collection over 99 per cent. for the half year ended 30 September 2021;
  • Deployment or commitment of capital from July 2021 fundraising across 8 transactions for consideration of £103 million (5.5 per cent. weighted NIY);
  • Circa. £50 million of further investments are in advanced stages of contractual progress and are expected to be completed in the near term at a weighted average 6.2 per cent. NIY; and
  • New pipeline of over £400 million of high quality logistics properties identified utilising the Company's extensive proprietary network to source off market deals.

The Company also announced that the Directors believe that the market capitalisation of the Company now justifies a move to the premium segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). The Board believes that this move will provide the most appropriate market listing for the continuing growth of the Company.

To support Admission, the stated strategy of growing the Company and to provide greater flexibility to achieve these objectives the Board is seeking approval from Shareholders for:

  • conditional upon and with effect from Admission, the Amended Investment Policy, which is being amended to satisfy certain eligibility requirements under the Listing Rules ahead of Admission and to reflect the evolution of the Company's business since launch;

  • the Directors to have the authority to implement a Placing Programme (which will comprise an initial issue of Ordinary Shares followed by a further placing or placings of Shares) under the terms of which the Company would have the ability to issue a significant number of Ordinary Shares and/or C Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis subject to the publication of a prospectus. To avoid the necessity of having to convene an additional General Meeting to seek a disapplication of pre- emption rights in respect of the Placing Programme, it is proposed that at the General Meeting a separate Resolution is passed which, subject to the publication of a prospectus in connection with the Placing Programme, pre-emption rights are disapplied in respect of 350 million Ordinary Shares and/or C Shares with such authority to expire on 31 March 2023;
  • the renewal of the general authorities to allot Ordinary Shares and waiver of pre-emption rights previously granted at the 2021 AGM which were fully utilised in connection with the Company's July 2021 fundraising;
  • the adoption of the New Articles, which are also being amended to satisfy certain Listing Rules eligibility requirements as well as to give the Company the flexibility to issue C Shares under the Placing Programme; and
  • the Company to hold general meetings (other than an annual general meeting) on 14 clear days' notice following Admission,

(together the "Proposals").

The purpose of this document is to give Shareholders details of the General Meeting being convened at which the Resolutions will be proposed as well as the background to, and the benefits of, the Proposals and the reasons why the Board is recommending that you vote in favour of the Resolutions at the General Meeting.

It should be noted that the minimum issue price at which Ordinary Shares may be issued pursuant to the dis-applications of pre-emption rights to be sought at the General Meeting is the prevailing NAV per Ordinary Share at the time of issue together with a premium intended to cover the costs and expenses of the relevant issue of Ordinary Shares. Any C Shares issued pursuant to the Placing Programme will be issued at 100 pence per C Share.

2. Background to, reasons for and the benefits of Admission

The Directors believe that the current market capitalisation of the Company justifies a move to the Main Market. The Directors believe that Admission and the associated changes to the Existing Investing Policy are in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole for the following reasons:

  • the Company will have access to a larger pool of capital which may improve the liquidity of the Shares;
  • the premium listing is expected to broaden the Company's share register;
  • the premium listing will enable the Company to be eligible for inclusion in the FTSE's EPRA and UK Index Series which may further facilitate increased liquidity;
  • a premium listing may help raise the Company's profile with increased media coverage and investor interest, which in turn would enhance its status;
  • with a premium listing and possibly higher company profile, there could potentially be increased analyst coverage; and
  • the Company will be required to comply with higher standards of governance required by premium listed companies under the Listing Rules.

The Company has given notice of the intended cancellation of trading of the Ordinary Shares on AIM and it is expected that Admission will occur no earlier than 7 December 2021. Admission will not be conditional upon completion of an issue of Shares under the Placing Programme. Further information as to timing of Admission will be announced in due course.

In order to satisfy certain eligibility requirements under the Listing Rules ahead of Admission, the Board is seeking approval from Shareholders for, conditional upon and with effect from Admission, the
