(the "Company" or the "Group")

100% Q3 2021 RENT COLLECTION

REAFFIRMS DIVIDEND GUIDANCE

The Company is pleased to report collection of 100% of the rent due for the quarter ending September 2021 (Q3 2021).

This figure is calculated on the basis of cash received versus contractual rent due and no rents in respect of the quarter have been deferred.

Following this level of rent collection, the Board is pleased to reaffirm its intention to pay a quarterly dividend of 1.5 pence per ordinary share for the second quarter of the financial year, which is expected to be declared in November 2021 and fully covered by net rental income for the quarter.

This quarterly dividend rate reflects the second of four equal instalments totalling 6.0 pence per ordinary share that the Company is targeting for that financial year, representing a 4.3% increase on the Company's pre-Covid-19 dividend rate of 5.75 pence per share*.
