Update on the Manager

The Board of Tritax EuroBox plc (the "Company") notes today's announcement by Tritax Management LLP (the "Manager") and Aberdeen Standard Investment ("ASI") (https://www.tritax.co.uk/pressrelease/asi-to-acquire-interest-in-tritax-dec-2020) in relation to ASI's intention to acquire a 60% interest in the Manager.

The Board has satisfied itself, through discussions with the Manager and with ASI, that the partnership with ASI both strengthens the Manager and is aligned with the long-term interests of the Company's shareholders.

The Board is reassured that there are no changes to the personnel responsible for the Company with its dedicated fund management team, led by Nick Preston, continuing to retain operational independence and autonomy over decision making under the Tritax brand. In addition, the Board sees the potential for longer term benefits for shareholders arising from the Manager forming part of ASI's large investment platform which has a network of professionals based in local offices across Europe.

Commenting on the announcement, Robert Orr, Chairman of Tritax EuroBox plc said :

"As our recent results demonstrated, the Company is very well positioned in the European logistics markets where growth is accelerating, with high-quality assets and valuable partnerships with key developers. The Board believes the strategic partnership between the Manager and ASI is a positive step for the Company, supporting our overall growth objectives. The Board believes the transaction complements the Manager with a strong, stable and long-term institutional partner that has extensive experience in European real estate investment."
