TRITAX BIG BOX REIT PLC

(the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Retail Offer by PrimaryBid

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Tritax Big Box REIT plc (ticker: BBOX), an investor in and developer of large scale logistics real estate in the UK, today announces a conditional retail offer for subscription via PrimaryBid (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares in the Company (the "Retail Shares"). 

As separately announced earlier today, the Company is also conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") to institutional investors through an accelerated bookbuild process (the "Placing"). The Placing Shares are to be placed at a price to be agreed between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (as defined below) following the closing of the accelerated bookbuild exercise being undertaken in connection with the Placing (the "Placing Price").

The issue price for the Retail Shares will be equal to the Placing Price.

The Retail Offer and the Placing are conditional on the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer and the Placing respectively being admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). Applications for Admission will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange. Admission is expected to be take place at 8.00 a.m. on 4 October 2021.

The net proceeds of the Placing and the Retail Offer, together with associated leverage and near-term disposals, are expected to generate up to c.£530 million of additional funding capacity. This will primarily be used to accelerate the Company's development programme with a targeted timeframe for commitment over the next 12 months, comprising:

·    Up to c.£450 million of expected development capex, of which c.50% is already committed or expected to be committed in the near term, broadly split evenly across the following:

o  Pre-let (or let during construction) development opportunities targeting 2.2 million sq ft of construction activity

o  Speculative development opportunities targeting 2.5 million sq ft of construction activity; and

o  Investment in land and infrastructure to bring forward new schemes ready for future development; and

·    Up to c.£80 million allocated towards expected investment and asset management capex targeting 0.5 million sq ft of new space.

Retail Offer

The Company highly values its retail investor base and is therefore pleased to provide private and other retail investors in the UK the opportunity to participate in the Retail Offer by applying exclusively through the PrimaryBid mobile app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. PrimaryBid does not charge investors any commission for this service.

The Retail Offer, via the PrimaryBid mobile app, will be open to individual investors in the UK only following the release of this announcement. The Retail Offer is expected to close at the close of the bookbuild.  The Retail Offer may close early if it is oversubscribed.

The Company reserves the right to scale back any order at its discretion. The Company and PrimaryBid reserve the right to reject any application for subscription under the Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.

No commission is charged to investors on applications to participate in the Retail Offer made through PrimaryBid.  It is vital to note that once an application for New Ordinary Shares has been made and accepted via PrimaryBid, an application cannot be withdrawn.

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

Details of the Offer

The Company highly values its retail investor base which has supported the Company alongside institutional investors over many years. Given the longstanding support of retail shareholders, the Company believes that it is appropriate to provide retail investors the opportunity to participate in the Offer. The Company is therefore making the Offer available exclusively through the PrimaryBid mobile app.

It is a term of the Retail Offer that the total value of Retail Shares available for subscription at the Placing Price does not exceed €8 million (or the GBP equivalent), less the amount to be subscribed by directors of the Company (or their connected persons). Accordingly, the Company is not required to publish (and has not published) a prospectus in connection with the Retail Offer as it falls within the exemption set out in section 86(1)(e) and 86(4) of FSMA. The Retail Offer is only being made in the UK, and is not being made in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so. Persons who are resident or otherwise located outside of the UK will not be eligible to register for participation in the offer through PrimaryBid or subscribe for Retail Shares.

There is a minimum subscription of £250 per investor under the terms of the Offer which is open to existing shareholders and other investors subscribing via the PrimaryBid mobile app.

For further details please refer to the PrimaryBid website at www.PrimaryBid.com. The terms and conditions on which the Offer is made, including the procedure for application and payment for New Ordinary Shares, is available to all persons who register with PrimaryBid.

Investors should consider the risk factors set out on www.PrimaryBid.com before making a decision to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares.
