RECOMMENDED MANDATORY CASH OFFER

for

Warehouse REIT plc

by

Wapping Bidco Ltd
a newly-formed company indirectly owned by investment funds advised by affiliates of
Blackstone Inc.

DELISTING AND CANCELLATION OF TRADING OF WAREHOUSE SHARES

1. Background

On 4 June 2025, the boards of Wapping Bidco Ltd ("Bidco"), a newly-formed company indirectly owned by investment funds advised by affiliates of Blackstone Inc., and Warehouse REIT plc ("Warehouse") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Warehouse by Bidco (the "Original Blackstone Offer").

On 25 June 2025, the boards of Tritax Big Box REIT plc ("BBOX") and Warehouse announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash and share offer pursuant to which BBOX will acquire the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Warehouse (the "BBOX Offer") to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006.

On 10 July 2025, Bidco announced the terms of an increased cash offer (the "Increased Blackstone Offer") to be effected by a takeover offer (as defined in section 974 of the Companies Act), rather than by means of a scheme of arrangement, and conditional on valid acceptances of more than 50 per cent. of the Increased Blackstone Offer. Under the terms of the Increased Blackstone Offer, Warehouse shareholders are entitled to receive 113.4 pence in cash per share. Inclusive of the Warehouse July Dividend, the total transaction value of the Increased Blackstone Offer is 115.0 pence per Warehouse share.

On 11 July 2025, the Warehouse Independent Directors announced that they had withdrawn their recommendation that Warehouse shareholders vote in favour of the BBOX Offer, and instead recommended unanimously that Warehouse shareholders accept the Increased Blackstone Offer.

On 22 August 2025, Bidco announced that, following the acquisition of Warehouse Shares by Wapping Holdings Limited, Bidco (or its wholly owned subsidiaries) owned Warehouse shares in sufficient number that, under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, the offer now constitutes a recommended mandatory cash offer (the "Recommended Blackstone Mandatory Offer").

Warehouse Shareholders are reminded that Bidco declared the Offer unconditional on 8 September 2025.

2. Delisting and cancellation of trading

The Warehouse Board notes Bidco's announcement that, as described in paragraph 12 of Part II of the Offer Document, and pursuant to LR 21.2.11R, as Bidco (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries) has obtained 75 per cent. or more of the voting rights of Warehouse, Bidco will require Warehouse to apply to the FCA and the London Stock Exchange (the "LSE"), respectively, to cancel the listing of Warehouse Shares on the FCA's Official List and to cancel the trading in Warehouse Shares on the LSE's Main Market.

Under Listing Rule 21.2.13R, Warehouse announces that the notice period for the cancellation of listing and trading of the Warehouse Shares has now commenced, and cancellation of listing and trading of the Warehouse Shares is expected to take effect at 8.00 a.m. on 9 October 2025.

The cancellation of the listing of Warehouse Shares on the Official List and the cancellation of trading in Warehouse Shares on the Main Market will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Warehouse Shares in respect of which the Offer has not been accepted at that time. Any remaining Warehouse Shareholders will become minority shareholders in a majority-controlled company and may be unable to sell their Warehouse Shares. There can be no certainty that Warehouse will pay any further dividends or other distributions or that such minority Warehouse Shareholders will again be offered an opportunity to sell their Warehouse Shares on terms which are equivalent to or no less advantageous than those under the Offer.

3. Offer remains open

The Offer will remain open for acceptance until further notice. At least 14 days' notice will be given before the Offer is closed. Subject to giving at least 14 calendar days' notice, Bidco can close the Offer at any point, following which Warehouse Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer will be unable to accept the Offer.

Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.
