Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to let you know that the 2025 Annual Report has now been released and is available on our website at www.picton.co.uk/investors/annual-report-2025/

As previously advised we are only sending out hard copies of our Annual Report to those shareholders who have requested it.

Our results this year are very positive across key metrics. We have delivered a profit of £37 million, 5% growth in EPRA earnings and 4% growth in net assets.

We have outperformed the FTSE 350 REIT Index alongside continuing our long-term track record of MSCI outperformance.

Key highlights for the year include:

  • Strong financial performance delivering income and capital growth – our net asset value was £533.4 million at 31 March 2025, and EPRA earnings were £22.8 million
  • Property portfolio we have now continued our MSCI outperformance for the twelfth consecutive year, with a total property return of 7.3% for the year (MSCI UK Quarterly Property Index: 6.3%)
  • Asset management we have repositioned the portfolio with three office disposals, and captured rental growth through lettings and renewals
  • Capital allocation we have used disposal proceeds to repay debt, reduce financing costs, upgrade assets and enhance earnings through share buybacks
  • Acting responsibly we have continued to make good progress against our key sustainability priorities, investing in our buildings and improving our portfolio EPC ratings. In addition, 97% of leases completed during the year contained green lease clauses

Positive activity following the year-end has supported a 2.7% dividend increase, effective May 2025.

I would like to thank shareholders for their support at the last Annual General Meeting, with all of the Resolutions being passed.

Notice of the 2025 Annual General Meeting

Notice is hereby given that the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Picton Property Income Limited (the 'Company') will be held at 9.30am on Wednesday, 30 July 2025 at Stanford Building, 27A Floral Street, London, WC2E 9EZ for the transaction of business outlined in this Notice of Meeting (Notice).

Voting at the meeting on all the Resolutions will be conducted by way of a poll rather than a show of hands. The Company considers this to be a more transparent method of voting as member votes will be counted according to the number of shares held.

By Order of the Board

Explanatory Notes to the Annual General Meeting

Resolution 1 – Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements

The Companies (Guernsey) Law requires the Directors to lay before the Annual General Meeting copies of the Company's annual accounts and Directors' Report in respect of each financial year.

Resolutions 2 and 3 – Reappointment of Auditor and remuneration

At each Annual General Meeting the Company is required to appoint an Auditor to serve until the next meeting.

KPMG Channel Islands Limited has indicated that it is willing to continue as the Company's Auditor, and the Directors recommend its reappointment. Resolution 3 gives the Board the discretion to determine the remuneration of the Auditor.

Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 – Election and re-election of Directors

In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, each Director will put themselves up for election or re-election annually. Helen Beck and Francis Salway were appointed to the Board on 1 August 2024 and 1 February 2025 respectively and they therefore offer themselves for election for the first time at this Annual General Meeting. All other Directors are standing for re-election.

The Directors' biographies can be found on pages 88 and 89 of the 2025 Annual Report.

Pages 101 and 102 of the 2025 Annual Report provide background information on Board composition, length of tenure and division of roles and responsibilities.

Resolution 10 – Approve the Directors' Remuneration Report

The full Directors' Remuneration Report is set out on pages 116 to 130 of the 2025 Annual Report. It details payments made to Directors during the year, in accordance with the current Remuneration Policy which was approved by shareholders at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

As a non-UK incorporated company there is no legal requirement for the Company to seek shareholder approval. Shareholder approval is being sought as the Board of Directors is committed to the highest standard of corporate governance and, as such, the Company is submitting the Directors' Remuneration Report to shareholders for approval on an advisory non-binding basis.

Resolution 11 – Authority to purchase own shares

The Directors are again seeking renewal of this share buyback authority that was given by the Company's shareholders on 30 July 2024. Resolution 11 gives the Company authority to make market acquisitions of the Company's own Ordinary Shares, up to a maximum of 14.99% per annum of the Company's Ordinary Shares in issue (as at the time immediately following the passing of the Resolution) and subject to minimum and maximum purchase prices as set out in parts b) and c) of Resolution 11.

This authority will only be invoked if, after taking proper advice, the Directors consider that benefits will accrue to shareholders generally. In normal market circumstances the Directors intend to favour pro rata capital distributions ahead of Ordinary Share repurchases in the market, however, if the Ordinary Shares have traded at a significant discount to Net Asset Value for a prolonged period the Board will seek to prioritise the use of net income after the payment of dividends on market repurchases over other uses of capital. If the Board does decide that the Company should repurchase Ordinary Shares, purchases will only be made through the market for cash at prices below the prevailing Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share where the Directors believe such purchases will result in an increase in the Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share. The Directors intend that any such Ordinary Shares repurchased will subsequently be cancelled.

Resolutions 12 and 13 – Disapplication of pre-emption rights

Resolutions 12 and 13 are Resolutions which, if passed, will allow the Board to issue new Ordinary Shares without first offering those shares to existing shareholders.

The Directors require specific authority from shareholders before issuing new Ordinary Shares for cash (or selling shares out of treasury for cash) without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. If Resolution 12 is passed the authority will expire on the earlier of the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2026 or 15 months from the passing of this Resolution. The number of shares issued under this power shall be limited as outlined in Resolution 12 and can be up to 10% of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 21 May 2025, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice.

Resolution 13 is conditional on Resolution 12 being passed and applies in addition to Resolution 12, if passed and in addition to the power given by Resolution 12 it will give the Board the authority to issue new Ordinary Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis and for cash only in connection with an acquisition of an asset or specified capital investment. The maximum number of shares that can be issued under this authority can be up to 10% of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue at the date of this Notice. The Board confirms that it intends to use this authority only in connection with an acquisition or a specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.

The authorities granted under Resolutions 12 and 13 will allow the Company to allot Ordinary Shares for cash without first offering the Ordinary Shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings, up to a maximum of 20% of the Company's issued share capital only, which is in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights (the 'Statement of Principles 2022') last issued in November 2022.

If the powers sought by Resolutions 12 and 13 are used in relation to a non-pre-emptive offer, the Directors confirm their intention to follow the shareholder protections in Part 2B of the Statement of Principles 2022.

While the Directors have no present intention of issuing new shares, the Board considers the authority sought to be appropriate in order to provide the Company with flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. If approved, this authority will expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the next AGM or 15 months from the date this Resolution is passed.
