Dear Shareholder,

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Whilstthe following paragraphs will deal with the technicalrequirements forthe holding ofthe Company's 2025 annual general meeting (the "Annual General Meeting" or "AGM") and the nature ofthe business to be proposed, I would like to emphasise the significant progress the Company has made in the past six months. During this period,the Managed Wind Down strategy was approved by shareholders; the Scottish Widows loans and additional fees were fully repaid and the remaining property portfolio launched for sale. The publication ofthe significantly overdue audited financial statements forthe years ended 31 August 2022 and 31 August 2023 marked the stepping down of Lynne Fennah, Marlene Wood, Simon Moore and Peter Cardwell from the Board. They will continue to assistthe Company when necessary, on historic legal and regulatory matters and Lynne Fennah will be employed on a part-time basis to provide additional supportin relation to these matters.

As announced on 14 January 2025,the unaudited interim results forthe periods to 28 February 2023 and 29 February 2024 (the "Historical Accounts") have been prepared in parallel. The Group intends to publish the remaining Historical Accounts and the audited annual results forthe year ended 31 August 2024 during Q1 2025. The Board and AEW UK Investment Management LLP ("AEW")remain committed to the restoration of trading in the Company's ordinary shares as soon as is practically possible. Following publication of allthe outstanding financialresults and application to the FCA forrestoration ofthe Company's listing,the Board is anticipating thattrading in the Ordinary Shares will resume in the first half of 2025.

We recognise shareholders may have concerns in respect ofthe audited financial statements forthe year ended 31 August 2023, namely thatthe Group's auditor's limitations of scope in respect ofthe Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a result of an inability to obtain sufficient audit evidence

Registered Office:

4th Floor 140 Aldersgate Street London United Kingdom EC1A 4HY

resulting from the disclaimer on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 August 2022. We do of course acknowledge this, however, we would ask shareholders to take account ofthe unprecedented nature ofthe challenges the Company has faced in preparing its annualresults, which include:

• unknown condition ofthe properties, which resulted in a lengthy process of internal inspections over a period often months from August 2023 to May 2024;
• substantial challenges with underlying tenants which included arrears,tenantliquidations and inability to access properties;
• contracts which were unenforceable on counter parties requiring changes to the conclusions reached on accounting for acquisitions;
• the termination ofthe investment adviser agreement with Alvarium Home REIT Advisors Limited as well as the AIFM agreement with Alvarium Fund Management Limited;
• a potentialthreatened group litigation action againstthe Company and the directors in office at the time thatthe shares were suspended;
• a demand by the Company's lender, Scottish Widows, forthe repayment of its loans;
• the completion of a valuation report by a new valuer which resulted in substantial properties being valued on a vacant possession basis; and
• the commencement of an FCA investigation into the Company.

The above factors have resulted in a neartwo-year projectto stabilise the Company's investment portfolio and financial position and, in conjunction, prepare financial information forthe years ending 31 August 2022, 2023 and the outstanding 2024, with the objective ofrestoring the Company's shares to trading.

Due to the number of challenges the Company has faced,this has unfortunately led to the disclaiming of an audit opinion by the Company's auditors, BDO LLP, on the 2022 financial statements and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2023, despite the very considerable effort and resources the Company has directed towards addressing these matters.

AEW remains focused on successfully executing the sale ofthe Company's investments and further updates will be made on this atthe appropriate juncture. At this stage we can confirm there has been considerable interestin the portfolio. As the remaining portfolio sale progresses,the Company will, atthe appropriate time, provide more detail on the intended mechanism and timing to return capitalto shareholders with resolution 10 and 11 (further detail below) proposed to facilitate this. Whilstthe Company will seek to return capital upon completion ofthe realisation strategy, we remind shareholders thatthe ability to make distributions may be constrained whilstthe Company faces potential group litigation and an FCA investigation. The Company expects to also retain capitalto meet corporate costs and allow itto pursue legal action againstthose it considers responsible for wrongdoing against the Company.

The Board is cognisant of Directors'remuneration which reflects the additional work the Board has and continues to undertake resulting from the unprecedented challenges the Company has faced including continued regular oversight during the Managed Wind Down and finance meetings with respectto the now repaid debt and the historical accounts. Whilst my own remuneration includes an additional element, which diverges from the Investment Association's Principles of Remuneration, in not being subjectto performance conditions or clawback,this elementis in respect ofthe extra services I have and continue to carry out and the time commitmentinvolved, which are atypical for a role ofthis nature as permitted underthe Company's Directors' Remuneration Policy. Atthe end of December 2024,the additional fee was reduced by 25 per cent.to reflectthe reduced workload and is reviewed regularly by the Board against my workload and time commitment.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The AGM will be held atthe offices of FTI Consulting at 200 Aldersgate Street, London, EC1A 4HD at 10.30 a.m. on Thursday, 20 February 2025. The notice ofthe Annual General Meeting (the "Notice of AGM"), together with the Notes to the Notice of AGM, can be found on pages 8 to 11 ofthis document.

BUSINESS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Board is proposing 12 resolutions :

Resolution 1: Report and Accounts

The Directors are required to presentto the meeting the audited accounts and the reports of the Directors and the auditors forthe financial year ended 31 August 2023. The Directors ask thatthe shareholders receive and considerthe financial statements and reports.

Resolution 2: Directors remuneration report

The Actrequires the Company to produce a yearly report on the Directors'remuneration and to put an annualresolution to the shareholders forthe approval ofthatreport. The Directors'remuneration report forthe year ended 31 August 2023, for which approval is sought, is set out on pages 72 to 75 ofthe Annual Report. In accordance with the legislation,this vote will be advisory.

Resolution 3: Directors' Remuneration Policy

This resolution is being proposed in relation to the Directors' Remuneration Policy forthe period ended 31 August 2023 (the "Policy") contained on pages 74 to 75 ofthe Annual Report. The vote on the Policy is a binding one. If passed,the Policy willtake effect immediately from the end ofthe AGM and will apply untilreplaced by a new or amended policy. Once the Policy is effective,the Company will not be able to make payments to a Director otherthan in accordance with the Policy. The Policy is intended to be putforward for shareholder approval every three years, as required by the Act. Ifthe Company wishes to change the Policy, it will need to putthe revised policy to a vote again before it can implement a new policy. Ifthe Policy is not approved by the shareholders for any reason,the Company will, if and to the extent permitted to do so underthe Act, continue to make payments to Directors in accordance with the Company's existing policy on Directors'remuneration and will seek shareholder approval for a revised policy as soon as practicable.

Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive): Re-election of Directors

In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all ofthe Directors in office mustretire at each Annual General Meeting ofthe Company. The Board is ofthe view that each Director who is standing for re-election brings skills and experience to the Board as a whole which will be importantforthe Company's continued operation. Further detail of each Director, their skills, experience and contribution is set out on pages 44 to 45 ofthe Annual Report, and the Board believes this information is sufficientto enable you to make an informed decision on the proposed re-election ofthe Directors.

Resolutions 7 and 8: Appointment of Auditors

The Company is required to appoint auditors at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company,to hold office untilthe end ofthe next such meeting. On the recommendation ofthe Audit Committee,the Board proposes in Resolution 7 the re-appointment of BDO LLP and, in accordance with standard practice, Resolution 8 gives authority for the Audit Committee ofthe Board to determine the remuneration to be paid to the auditors.

Resolution 9: Market share buyback authority

This resolution seeks authority from shareholders to make market purchases of its own shares. The Directors wish to retain the flexibility to utilise this authority, butthe primary method to return capital to shareholders atthe currenttime is expected to be via one or more tender offers, as further described below. The Directors only intend to exercise this authority when, after considering market conditions prevailing atthe time,they believe thatthe effect of such exercise would be in the bestinterests of shareholders as a whole. The extent ofthe authority being soughtis limited to 14.99% ofthe Company's issued share capital.

Resolution 10: Authority fortender offers

In orderto provide a mechanism forthe future return of capitalto shareholders in a tax efficient manner, the Company is seeking authority from shareholders to undertake one or more tender offers, with the maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuantto such tender offers being equalto 100 per cent. ofthe issued share capital ofthe Company. This authority will grantthe Company the authority to make one or more tender offers over a period of 18 months from the passing ofthe resolution. The terms of any such tender offer(if used), and the process for accepting any such tender offer, would be set outin a separate circular which would be sentto shareholders.

Resolution 11: Cancellation of share premium account

In orderto provide the Company with the required distributable reserves to make distributions, and to allow the Company to meetthe requirements of the Actto make distributions, itis necessary forthe Company to cancelthe amount currently standing to the credit of its share premium account. The first step in this process is for shareholders to pass an appropriate resolution to cancelthe share premium account. The Board would like to emphasise that without the passing of this resolution, the Company will not be able to make distributions to shareholders. Following the passing ofthe resolution,the Company is intending to make the required Court application for Confirmation and approval ofthe cancellation ofthe share premium account and the creation of a resulting special distributable reserve.

Resolution 12: Notice period for general meetings otherthan AGMs

The articles of association ofthe Company enable the Company to call general meetings (otherthan Annual General Meetings) on 14 clear days' notice. The Actincreases this period to 21 clear days unless shareholders have approved a shorter period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. Resolution 12 seeks such approval and will be effective untilthe Company's next annual general meeting when itis intended that a similarresolution will be proposed. The Company will also need to meetthe Act's requirements for electronic voting before it may call a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers thatitis in the bestinterests ofthe Company and its shareholders as a whole to approve the 12 resolutions to be tabled atthe forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Taken togetherthey ensure the Company complies with its Articles and provide the necessary legal framework to execute the Company's strategy ofreturning capitalto Shareholders when that becomes possible. Accordingly,the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour ofthe resolutions to be proposed atthe Annual General Meeting. The Directors were all appointed during 2024 and do not hold Ordinary Shares, as such,they are not able to vote in favour ofthe resolutions.

Yours faithfully

Pursuantto section 324 ofthe Act, a member entitled to attend and vote atthe Annual General Meeting may appoint one or more persons as their proxy or proxies to attend, speak and vote on their behalf atthe meeting or at any adjournment ofit. If multiple proxies are appointed,they must not be appointed in respect ofthe same Ordinary Shares. If a proxy appointmentis submitted withoutindicating how the proxy should vote on any resolution,the proxy will exercise their discretion as to whether and, if so, how they vote.

A proxy need not be a member oftheCompany but must attend the meeting in person forthe member's vote to be counted. The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a shareholderfrom attending and voting in person atthe Annual General Meeting or at any adjournmentthereof.

In the case of joint holders, where more than one ofthe joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the orderin which the names ofthe joint holders appearin theCompany's Register of Members in respect ofthe joint holding (the first named being the most senior). If a member submits more than one valid proxy appointment,the appointmentreceived last before the latesttime forthe receipt of proxies willtake precedence.

If a proxy is appointed by more than one member, but such members have given different voting instructions,the proxy may, on a show of hands, vote both "For" and "Against" in orderto reflectthe different voting instructions.

On a poll, all or any ofthe voting rights ofthe member may be exercised by one or more duly appointed proxies.
