*    'EPRA NTA' means European Public Real Estate Association Net Tangible Assets. Loan-to-value ratio is the ratio of total borrowings, less
      unrestricted cash, to the Group's aggregate value of properties. 'Like-for-like' is a change in measure for reference data existing in the
      current and previous period.
  
	  
(1)  The directors intend to offer shareholders the option to receive all or part of their dividend entitlement by way of a scrip issue of
     Industrials REIT treasury shares or in cash, and will consider matching any scrip scheme take up through the buyback of shares to mitigate
     the dilutive effect that would otherwise occur from the issuance of treasury shares. An announcement containing details of the salient dates
     and tax treatment is anticipated to be made on 15 December 2022. It is expected that shares will commence trading ex-dividend on 18 January
     2023 on the JSE and on 19 January 2023 on the LSE. The record date for the dividend is expected to be 20 January 2023 and the dividend payment
     date 10 February 2023.

(2)  The IFRS NAV per share and EPRA NTA per share at 31 March 2022 were reported as GBP1.78 and GBP1.77 respectively. As a result of a correction to 
     the number of dilutive shares, these metrics were amended to GBP1.76 and GBP1.75 per share respectively and disclosed in an RNS statement issued 
     on 16 August 2022.
