Dear Shareholder,

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

This document contains the notice ("Notice") of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or "Annual General Meeting") of NewRiver REIT plc (the "Company" or "NewRiver") and the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM (the "Resolutions"), which is to be held at the offices of CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP ("CMS"), Cannon Place, 78 Cannon Street, London. EC4N 6AF on Monday 5 August 2024 at 11 a.m.

We recognise that some shareholders may prefer not to attend the AGM in person so we have made provision for shareholders to submit questions to the Board on the business of the meeting. To submit questions in advance of the AGM, questions should be emailed to info@nrr. co.uk by no later than 12.30 p.m. on 1 August 2024. We will publish answers to such questions, to the extent we consider appropriate, on our website. Please note that some questions may be grouped together.

The Notice is set out on pages 6 to 11 of this document, detailing the Resolutions that the shareholders are being asked to vote on, with explanatory notes of the business to be conducted at the AGM set out in this letter.

Your vote is important to us and you are encouraged to vote either in advance of the AGM or in person on the day. If you will not be attending the AGM, please vote your shares by appointing a proxy. Details of how to submit proxy instructions are set out on pages 5 and 10.

If the chair of the AGM is appointed as proxy he or she will, of course, vote in accordance with any instructions given. If he or she is given discretion as to how to vote, he or she will vote in favour of each of the Resolutions.

The purpose of the Annual General Meeting is to seek shareholders' approval to pass the Resolutions within this Notice of AGM. Resolutions 1 to 13 (inclusive) will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 14 to 17 (inclusive) will be proposed as special resolutions. Details of the items of business to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting are set out below:

Resolution 1 – The Directors' Report, Auditor's Report and Financial Statements

Resolution 1 relates to the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report and the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The Company is required to put an ordinary resolution to shareholders to receive the Directors' Report, the Auditor's Report and the Financial Statements.

Resolution 2 – Annual Remuneration Report

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution to approve the Annual Remuneration Report contained within the Company's 2024 Annual Report, which states how the Company has remunerated its Directors. Section 439 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") requires UK incorporated listed companies to put their Annual Remuneration Report to an advisory vote. As the vote is advisory, it does not affect the actual remuneration paid to any individual Director. The Annual Remuneration Report is set out in full on pages 129 to 145 of the 2024 Annual Report.

Resolution 3 – To declare a final dividend of 3.2p per ordinary share for the year ended 31 March 2024

Resolution 3 deals with the approval of the final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2024. It is intended that the final dividend will be paid as a Property Income Distribution.

Resolutions 4 to 10 (inclusive) – Election and Re-election of Directors

Resolutions 4 to 10 deal with the election and re-election of the Directors. The Directors of the Company (including Lynn Fordham, who was appointed on 21 March 2024 as a Non-Executive Director and Chair Designate and took on the role of Chair on 30 May 2024 when Margaret Ford stepped down) are putting themselves forward for election and re-election, in line with the requirements of the Articles of Association of the Company and the UK Corporate Governance Code. The Board considers that each Director continues to make a valuable contribution to the Board's deliberations and continues to demonstrate the requisite level of commitment. The Nomination Committee has reviewed the independence of each Non-Executive Director and determined that they are all independent in character and judgment and there are no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect the judgement of any of the Non-Executive Directors. Biographies of each Director can be found on pages 8 and 9 of this document.

Resolutions 11 and 12 – Appointment and remuneration of Auditors

Following a tender process, Forvis Mazars LLP ("Forvis Mazars") has expressed its willingness to act as the Auditor of the Company. Resolution 11 proposes Forvis Mazars' appointment. As the outgoing auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has provided the Company with a statement of reasons for ceasing to hold office as Auditors, as required by the Act. A copy of the statement is set out in the Appendix to this document. Resolution 12 authorises the Audit Committee to determine the Auditor's remuneration.

Resolution 13 – Authority to allot shares

This Resolution will be proposed as an ordinary resolution and it empowers the Directors for the purposes of section 551 of the Act to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares of the Company up to £1,045,620 in nominal amount, being approximately one-third of the total issued share capital of the Company (excluding any shares held in treasury), as at 1 July 2024, (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice). If the Resolution is passed, the authority will expire on 5 November 2025 or at the end of the Company's annual general meeting in 2025, whichever is the earlier.

Under current UK institutional shareholder guidance, a UK listed company may seek authority to issue further shares up to an aggregate of two-thirds of its current issued share capital in connection with a rights issue, open offer or other pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders. This is in line with the latest share capital management guidelines issued by the Investment Association. The Directors believe that the Company should have the flexibility to issue the additional shares should the right circumstances present themselves to warrant such an issue. Accordingly, Resolution 13 provides for them to be able to do this.

Resolution 14 – Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights

The Act prescribes certain pre-emption rights under which, if the Company issues new shares, or grants rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares, for cash or sells any treasury shares for cash, it must first offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their current holdings.

In November 2022, the Pre-Emption Group updated their Statement of Principles (the "Pre-Emption Group's Principles") to, amongst other things, support companies seeking authority to issue for cash equity securities otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer representing:

• i. no more than 10 per cent. of issued ordinary share capital whether or not in connection with an acquisition or a specified capital investment (a general disapplication);
• ii. no more than an additional 10 per cent. of issued ordinary share capital, provided that it is intended to be used only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding twelve-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue; and
• iii. in the case of both (i) and (ii), up to an additional 2 per cent. of issued ordinary share capital in connection with a follow-on offer to retail investors or existing investors not allocated shares in the offer.

Resolution 14 will be proposed as a special resolution and it empowers the Directors to allot shares of the Company and/or to sell shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if section 561 of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale:

• a. in connection with a rights issue, open offer or other pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders; and
• b. otherwise than in connection with a rights issue, open offer or other pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders, up to a maximum nominal value of £313,686, representing approximately 10 per cent. of the total issued share capital of the Company (excluding any shares held in treasury), as at 1 July 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).

If the Resolution is passed, the authority will expire on 5 November 2025 or at the end of the Company's annual general meeting in 2025, whichever is the earlier.

The Company intends to adhere to the provisions in the Pre -Emption Group's Principles and not to allot shares for cash on a non-preemptive basis pursuant to the authority in Resolution 13 in excess of an amount equal to 10 per cent. of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding any shares held in treasury).

The directors are also authorised to issue up to an additional 2 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital in connection with a follow-on offer as referred to in paragraph (iii) above. This disapplication authority is in line with the updated Pre-Emption Group Principles. The Directors confirm their intention to follow the Pre-Emption Group Principles in advance of exercising their authority under Resolution 14.

Resolution 15 – Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights for acquisitions and other capital investments

Resolution 15 will be proposed as a special resolution and it empowers the Directors, in addition to the authority to be granted pursuant to Resolution 14, to allot shares of the Company and/or to sell shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if section 561 of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale and is:

• a. limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares up to a maximum nominal value of £313,686, representing approximately 10 per cent. of the total issued share capital of the Company (excluding any shares held in treasury), as at 1 July 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice); and
• b. to be used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within twelve months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice.

Together with Resolution 14 (if passed), this would give the Directors authority to allot shares for cash and/or sell treasury shares of up to 20 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company on a non-pre-emptive basis. The Directors confirm that they will only allot shares pursuant to this authority where the allotment is in conjunction with an acquisition or specified capital investment (as defined in the Pre-Emption Group's Principles) which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment or sale, or which has taken place in the preceding twelve-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment or sale.

The Directors are also authorised to issue up to an additional 2 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital in connection with a follow-on offer as referred to in paragraph (iii) in Resolution 14 above. If the Resolution is passed, the authority will expire on 5 November 2025 or at the end of the Company's annual general meeting in 2025, whichever is the earlier.

In line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines, this authority to dis-apply the statutory pre-emption rights in respect of a share issue or sale of treasury shares connected with an acquisition or specified capital investment is being presented as a separate resolution to Resolution 14.

This disapplication authority is in line with the updated Pre-Emption Group Principles. The Directors confirm their intention to follow the Pre-Emption Group Principles in advance of exercising their authority under Resolution 15. The Directors wish to ensure that the Company has maximum flexibility in managing the Group's capital resources should the circumstances present themselves to warrant such an issue.

Resolution 16 – To authorise the Company to repurchase its own shares

Under this Resolution, which will be proposed as a special resolution, the Company will be given power to make purchases in the market of its own ordinary shares provided that (i) the maximum number of shares which may be purchased is 31,368,629, being approximately 10 per cent. of the Company's total issued share capital (excluding shares held in treasury) as at 1 July 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this Notice; (ii) the minimum price which may be paid for a share is one penny, being the nominal value of an ordinary share; and (iii) the maximum price which may be paid for a share is an amount equal to the higher of (a) 105 per cent. of the average of the mid-market quotations for a share for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which any share is purchased or (b) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current bid on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. If the Resolution is passed, the authority will expire on 5 November 2025 or at the end of the Company's annual general meeting in 2025, whichever is the earlier.

As at 1 July 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) there were options and deferred bonus shares outstanding in respect of 10,826,110 ordinary shares, in aggregate.

If the outstanding options and deferred bonus shares were exercised and converted, they would represent 3.45 per cent. of the 313,686,292 ordinary shares of the Company in issue as at 5 August 2024, the date of the AGM. If the buyback authority was exercised in full, that percentage would be 3.83 per cent. of the reduced share capital of 282,317,663 ordinary shares of the Company.

The Directors consider it desirable and in the Company's interests for shareholders to grant to the Company authority to exercise this power within the limits set out above and to enable the Company to purchase its own shares. This authority would only be exercised, if and when conditions are favourable, with a view to enhancing the net asset value per share of the Company.

Any shares purchased would be held as treasury shares which may, at the discretion of the Directors, be resold for cash, transferred in connection with an employee share scheme, or cancelled. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, treasury shares.

Resolution 17 – Notice of general meeting

Under the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company may call a general meeting, which is not an annual general meeting, on 14 clear days' notice. Section 307A of the Act in addition requires the Company to pass a special resolution on an annual basis in order to convene general meetings, other than the Company's annual general meeting, on 14 clear days' notice. The Directors believe that obtaining this authority is desirable and that it would give the Directors an additional degree of flexibility.

Action to be taken

In line with best practice corporate governance, voting on the business of the meeting will be conducted on a poll. I would strongly encourage shareholders to exercise their right to vote in the following ways:

• by logging on to www.signalshares.com and following the instructions; or

Recommendation

The Board considers that the Resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote, or procure the vote, in favour of such Resolutions, as the Directors intend to do, or procure to be done, in respect of their own beneficial holdings of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The results of the AGM will be announced via the London Stock Exchange Regulatory News Service as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the AGM.

Yours faithfully

Notes

• 1. Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint one or more proxies (who need not be shareholders) to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote on their behalf. More than one proxy may be appointed provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. To have the right to attend and vote at the meeting you must hold ordinary shares in the Company and your name must be entered on the share register of the Company in accordance with note 5 below.
• 1. The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to persons whose shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communications from the Company in accordance with section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 ("nominated persons"). Nominated persons may have a right under an agreement with the shareholder who holds the shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if nominated persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights.
• 1. To be valid, proxy instructions and forms of proxy (and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy thereof) must be received by the Company's Registrar, Link Group, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL as soon as possible and, in any event, so as to arrive no later than 11 a.m. on Thursday 1 August 2024.
• 1. You can vote by logging on to www.signalshares.com and following the instructions. If you have not done so already, you will need to register your account using your Investor Code, which can be found on your share certificate. In order to vote online, you will need to visit www.signalshares.com, search 'NewRiver REIT' and use your Investor Code to log in or register. Once you have logged in, simply click the 'Vote Online Now' button and follow the procedure as instructed. Link Group, the company's registrar, has launched a shareholder app: LinkVote+. It's free to download and use and gives shareholders the ability to access their shareholding record at any time and allows users to submit a proxy appointment quickly and easily online rather than through the post. The app is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, or by scanning the relevant QR code below.

Alternatively, you may request a hard copy form of proxy directly from the Registrars, Link Group, on 0371 664 0391. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open between 09:00 - 17:30, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales. In order for a proxy appointment to be valid, in each case a valid proxy appointment must be made through www.signalshares.com or LinkVote+ or a form of proxy must be received by Link Group, PSX 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL by 11 a.m. on Thursday 1 August 2024. If you are a CREST member, you may submit your proxy electronically through CREST by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out below. In addition, if you are an institutional investor, you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11 a.m. on Thursday, 1 August 2024, in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.

• 1. The right of a shareholder to vote at the meeting will be determined by reference to the share register. To be entitled to attend, vote and speak at the AGM, shareholders must be registered in the share register of the Company at close of business on Thursday 1 August 2024 (or, in the event of any adjournment, by close of business on the date which is two days before the time of the adjourned meeting excluding any part of a day which is not a working day).
• 6.
• a. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual on the Euroclear website (www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
• b. In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID: RA10) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in the notice of meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
• c. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35 (5) (a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
• d. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
• 1. As at 1 July 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice, there were 313,686,292 ordinary shares of one penny in the capital of the Company in issue which each carried one vote and of which 3,317,219 were being held in the Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT'). The Company does not hold any Treasury Shares. The total number of voting rights in the Company at that date was therefore 310,369,073.
• 1. A shareholder of the Company which is a corporation may authorise a person or persons to act as its representative(s) at the meeting. In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, each such representative may exercise (on behalf of the corporation) the same powers as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder of the Company, provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares. It is no longer necessary to nominate a designated corporate representative.
• 1. Recognising that some shareholders may prefer not to attend the AGM in person we have therefore made provision for shareholders to submit questions to the Board on the business of the meeting. To submit questions in advance of the AGM, questions should be emailed to info@nrr.co.uk by no later than 12.30 p.m. on Thursday 1 August 2024. We will publish answers to such questions, to the extent we consider appropriate, on our website. Please note that some questions may be grouped together.
• 1. Voting on all resolutions at this year's AGM will be conducted by way of a poll. The Board believes that a poll is more representative of shareholders' voting intentions because it gives as many shareholders as possible the opportunity to have their votes counted. The results of the poll will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and made available on the company website as soon as practicable after the AGM.
• 1. Pursuant to any requests made by shareholders of the Company under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company may be required to publish on its website a statement setting out any matter relating to the audit of the Company's accounts that are to be laid before the AGM. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM includes any statement that the Company has been required under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 to publish on its website.
• 1. A copy of this notice, and other information required by section 311A of the Companies Act 2006, can be found at the Company's website: www.nrr.co.uk.
