Dear Shareholder

Recommended proposals to grant authority to allot New Ordinary Shares on a non-pre-emptive basis in connection with the Issue

and

Notice of General Meeting

1. INTRODUCTION

This Circular is being sent to Shareholders to convene the General Meeting of the Company to be held at 9.00 a.m. on 11 May 2017 at the offices of Taylor Wessing LLP, 5 New Street, London EC4A 3TW.

Part 3 of this Circular contains the Notice of the General Meeting which sets out the Resolutions to be proposed at the meeting. The Resolutions relate to the Company's intention to raise new equity capital through the issue of New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Issue, being the Placing, Open Offer and Offer for Subscription, at an Issue Price of 136 pence per New Ordinary Share.

A Prospectus containing details of the Issue will be available to Qualifying Shareholders. The Issue is conditional on the passing by Shareholders of the Resolutions. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of this letter contain more details on the Issue.

THE RESOLUTIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE COMPANY AND THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THEM, AS THEY INTEND TO DO IN RESPECT OF THEIR OWN HOLDINGS.

2. BACKGROUND TO AND REASONS FOR THE ISSUE

The Company intends to raise up to £200 million through the Issue (although it can increase the size of the Issue to up to £350 million). The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Issue to acquire further investments. The Manager has access to a pipeline of potential investments and is engaged in discussions with the owners of a number of attractive assets that meet the Company's investment criteria and are available for potential acquisition in the near term. The Directors consider that these investment opportunities are likely to be value-accretive to investors over the medium term.

In particular, the Manager is currently in advanced negotiations in relation to three standing assets, two of which are under offer and in solicitors' hands, for an aggregate consideration of approximately £155 million. Taking into account these three assets and the commitment to the Howdens Forward Funded Developments, the Company will have invested the geared equity proceeds from the October 2016 equity issue.

There can be no certainty that the Company will complete any of these acquisitions, or that the Company will complete any of the transactions in its investment pipeline. It is, however, possible that contracts may be exchanged on one or more of the three assets in the coming weeks and this may occur before, or shortly after, Admission.

The Issue will provide the Company with funds to capitalise on the investment opportunities referred to above. The Company currently expects to deploy the net proceeds of the Issue within six months of Admission.

The Directors believe that raising additional capital to acquire further investments at attractive prices will benefit both existing and new Shareholders. Specifically, the Directors believe that the Issue will have the following principal benefits for Shareholders:

  • (a) the net proceeds of the Issue will be used to acquire further assets, diversifying the Company's Portfolio in terms of both tenant exposure and geographical location and capitalising on the Company's leading position in the UK Big Box logistics market;
  • (b) an increase in the size of the Company should improve liquidity and enhance the marketability of the Company, resulting in a broader investor base over the longer term; and
  • (c) an increase in the size of the Company will spread its fixed operating expenses over a larger capital base, which should reduce ongoing expenses per Ordinary Share.

3. DETAILS OF THE ISSUE

The Issue, which is not underwritten, comprises the Placing, Open Offer and Offer for Subscription, of, in aggregate, up to 147,058,823 New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price of 136 pence per New Ordinary Share (based on the target size of £200 million). The Company can increase the size of the Issue to up to £350 million.

The Issue Price represents a discount of 6.6 per cent. to the closing price of 147.2 pence per Ordinary Share as at the close of business on 21 April 2017 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Prospectus), net of the Q1 2017 interim dividend of 1.60 pence per Ordinary Share described below and a premium of 6.7 per cent. to the audited EPRA Net Asset Value per Existing Share of 129.00 pence (as at 31 December 2016) net of the interim dividend of 1.55 pence per Ordinary Share for the period from 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2016 paid on 3 April 2017.

The New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Issue will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Shares and each other, save in respect of the Q1 2017 interim dividend of 1.60 pence per Ordinary Share declared on 24 April 2017 for the three month period to 31 March 2017.

The Placing and Offer for Subscription are subject to scaling back at the discretion of the Directors. The Open Offer is not subject to scaling back in favour of the Placing or the Offer for Subscription.

The Offer for Subscription is only being made in the UK but, subject to applicable law, the Company may allot Ordinary Shares on a private placement basis to applicants in other jurisdictions (including the United States).

Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities.

Full details of the Issue are set out in the Prospectus and brief summaries of the Open Offer, the Placing and the Offer for Subscription are set out below.

3.1 The Open Offer

Under the Open Offer, up to an aggregate amount of 100,517,096 New Ordinary Shares will be made available to Qualifying Shareholders at the Issue Price pro rata to their holdings of Existing Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Open Offer, on the basis of:

1 New Ordinary Share for every 11 Existing Shares held on the Record Date.

Qualifying Shareholders should be aware that the Open Offer is not a rights issue and Open Offer Application Forms cannot be traded.

The Open Offer is being made on a pre-emptive basis to Qualifying Shareholders. Qualifying Shareholders who take up all of their Open Offer Entitlements may also apply under the Excess Application Facility for additional New Ordinary Shares in excess of their Open Offer Entitlement. The Excess Application Facility will comprise whole numbers of New Ordinary Shares which are not taken up by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to their Open Offer Entitlements, together with fractional entitlements under the Open Offer. In addition, to the extent that any New Ordinary Shares available under the Placing or Offer for Subscription are not fully subscribed, then such New Ordinary Shares will be available to satisfy Excess Applications under the Excess Application Facility, if required.

Applications under the Excess Application Facility will be allocated, in the event of over-subscription, pro rata to Qualifying Shareholders' applications under the Excess Application Facility. No assurance can be given that applications by Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility will be met in full or in part or at all.

3.2 The Placing and the Offer for Subscription

The Offer for Subscription is only being made in the United Kingdom. The Placing and the Offer for Subscription are not being made on a pre-emptive basis to holders of the Existing Shares. Any New Ordinary Shares that are available under the Open Offer and are not taken up by Qualified Shareholders pursuant to their Open Offer Entitlements or under the Excess Application Facility may be reallocated to and be available for subscription under the Placing and/or the Offer for Subscription.

The Company, the Manager, the Directors, Jefferies and Akur have entered into the Placing Agreement, pursuant to which Jefferies has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to use reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers and placees for New Ordinary Shares made available in the Placing at the Issue Price. The Placing is not being underwritten.

In connection with the Offer for Subscription, Jefferies will appoint certain Intermediaries to market the New Ordinary Shares to potential retail investors in the United Kingdom. Each Intermediary has agreed, or will on appointment agree, to the Intermediaries Terms and Conditions to regulate the conduct of the Intermediaries in relation to the offering of New Ordinary Shares. Each applicant who applies for New Ordinary Shares via an Intermediary must comply with the appropriate money laundering checks required by the relevant Intermediary.

3.3 Rationale for the structure of the Issue

The Company examined a number of options for raising equity and has concluded that the combination of the Placing, the Open Offer and the Offer for Subscription allows holders of Existing Shares to participate in the Issue by subscribing for their Open Offer Entitlements on a pre-emptive basis as well as applying for further New Ordinary Shares under the Open Offer (by virtue of the Excess Application Facility), while providing the Company with the flexibility to raise the desired quantum of equity capital via the combined Placing and Offer for Subscription from new investors.

4. GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the General Meeting to be held at 9.00 a.m. on 11 May 2017 at Taylor Wessing LLP, 5 New Street Square, London EC4A 3TW is set out in Part 3 of this document. A Form of Proxy to be used in connection with the General Meeting is enclosed.

The Issue is subject to a number of conditions, including the passing of the Resolutions set out below at the General Meeting.

In summary, the Resolutions seek the approval of Shareholders to:

    1. authorise the Directors to allot shares in the Company up to an aggregate nominal value of £2,573,529.41 pursuant to the Issue ("Resolution 1"); and
    1. disapply pre-emption rights otherwise applicable to the allotment of shares in the Company pursuant to Resolution 1 ("Resolution 2").

If the Resolutions are passed, the authorities will expire on 30 June 2017.

Please note that this is not the full text of the Resolutions and you should read this summary in conjunction with the Resolutions set out in the Notice on page 14 of this document.

4.1 Matters requiring Shareholder approval relating to the Issue

Under Article 2.5 of the Company's Articles (which requires the allotment of shares to be made in compliance with the Companies Act), the Company may not allot any Ordinary Shares for cash to any person unless it has made an offer to each Shareholder to issue to that Shareholder on the same or more favourable terms a proportion of those shares which is as nearly as practicable equal to the proportion of the aggregate of all shares of such class in issue represented by shares of such class held by such Shareholder. It is noted that under section 565 of the Companies Act, pre-emption rights do not apply to the issue of shares for non-cash consideration.

The Placing and the Offer for Subscription will not be on a pre-emptive basis and the Open Offer is being made on terms other than those prescribed in the Company's Articles and the Companies Act. As such, the pre-emption rights described above need to be disapplied to allow the Company to proceed with the Issue pursuant to Resolution 2 described above.

Under the Articles, this must be approved by a special resolution of the Company (being 75 per cent. of Shareholders in attendance at the General Meeting on a show of hands or, if a poll is demanded, those voting by number of Ordinary Shares held, whether in person or by proxy).

4.2 Potential dilution for holders of Existing Shares

If an existing Shareholder does not subscribe under the Issue for, or is not issued with, such number of New Ordinary Shares as is equal to his or her proportionate ownership of existing Ordinary Shares as at the date of this Circular, his or her proportionate ownership and voting interests in the Company will be reduced and the percentage that his or her existing Ordinary Shares will represent of the total share capital of the Company will be reduced accordingly following completion of the Issue.

If 257,352,941 New Ordinary Shares (being the maximum number permitted if the Resolutions are passed) are issued, the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of this Circular will, following the Issue, be increased by 23.3 per cent. as a result. On this basis, if an existing Shareholder does not acquire any New Ordinary Shares, his or her proportionate economic interest in the Company will be diluted by 18.9 per cent.

4.3 Conditions

The Issue is conditional on the Resolutions being passed and on certain other conditions being satisfied, including Admission occurring on or before 15 May 2017 (or such later date as the Company and Jefferies may agree). These conditions are set out in the Prospectus. If any of these conditions are not met in respect of the Issue, the Issue will not proceed.

5. ACTION TO BE TAKEN

5.1 Voting at the General Meeting

You will find enclosed with this document a Form of Proxy for use in connection with the General Meeting. Whether or not you intend to be present in person at the General Meeting, you are requested to complete and return the Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed on it as soon as possible but, in any event, so as to be received by the Registrar, Capita Asset Services, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU by no later than 9.00 a.m. on 9 May 2017.

If you hold your Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST) you may appoint a proxy by completing and transmitting a CREST Proxy Instruction in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST Manual so that it is received by the Registrar (under CREST participant ID RA10) by no later than 9.00 a.m. on 9 May 2017. CREST members may choose to use the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out in the notes to the Form of Proxy and the Notice of General Meeting.

You may submit your proxy electronically using the Share Portal Service at www.capitashareportal.com. You will be asked to enter your Investor Code (IVC) printed on the share certificate and agree to certain terms and conditions. On submission of your vote you will be issued with a reference number. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, it must be received by the Registrar no later than 9.00 am on 9 May 2017. If not already registered for the share portal you will need your investor code. If you cannot locate your investor code, please contact Capita Asset Services helpline on 0871 664 0300 (calls cost 10 pence per minute plus network extras) (from outside the UK: + 44 (0) 20 8639 3399) between 09.00 and 17.30 on Business Days.

Unless the Form of Proxy or CREST Proxy Instruction (as applicable) is received by the relevant date and time specified above, it will be invalid. Completion and return of the Form of Proxy or the submission of a CREST Proxy Instruction will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the General Meeting if you wish to do so.

5.2 Open Offer

(a) Non-CREST Shareholders

Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders will find enclosed with this document an Open Offer Application Form giving details of their Open Offer Entitlement. Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders wishing to apply to acquire all or any of the New Ordinary Shares should complete the Open Offer Application Form in accordance with the instructions printed on it. Completed Open Offer Application Forms should be returned by post (during normal business hours only) or by hand to Capita Asset Services, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU (who will act as Receiving Agent in relation to the Open Offer) so as to be received by Capita by no later than 11.00 a.m. on 10 May 2017, after which time Open Offer Application Forms will not be valid.

(b) CREST Shareholders

Qualifying CREST Shareholders will not be sent an Open Offer Application Form. Instead, Qualifying CREST Shareholders will receive a credit to their appropriate stock accounts in CREST in respect of their Open Offer Entitlement and their Excess CREST Open Offer Entitlement which is made up of the maximum size of the Open Offer less their Open Offer Entitlement, as soon as practicable after 8.00 a.m. on 24 April 2017.

Qualifying CREST Shareholders who are CREST members and who want to apply for New Ordinary Shares in respect of all or some of their Open Offer Entitlements and/or Excess CREST Open Offer Entitlements in CREST must send (or, if they are CREST sponsored members, procure that their CREST sponsor sends) a USE Instruction to Euroclear. In order for an application under the Open Offer to be valid, the USE Instruction must comply with the requirements as to authentication and contents set out in Part 12 of the Prospectus and must settle on or before 11.00 a.m. on 10 May 2017.

6. RECOMMENDATION AND DIRECTORS' VOTING INTENTIONS

The Board considers that the Issue and the general authority to allot and disapplication of pre-emption rights are in the best interests of the Shareholders as a whole and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings, which amount in aggregate to 713,523 Ordinary Shares and represent approximately 0.06 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital as at 21 April 2017 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document).

7. DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION

Copies of the Circular and Prospectus are available on the Company's website (www.tritaxbigbox.co.uk) and the National Storage Mechanism of the FCA at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm. Hard copies of the Prospectus can be obtained free of charge from the Receiving Agent, Capita Asset Services, at The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU and the offices of Taylor Wessing LLP at 5 New Street Square, London EC4A 3TW.

Resolutions 1 and 2 are subject to admission of the New Ordinary Shares (as defined below) to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and for such New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities ("Admission") on or before 30 June 2017 (such that if Admission does not take place on or before that date, the respective resolutions will have no effect).

ORDINARY RESOLUTION

  1. THAT, in addition to all existing authorities, the directors of the Company (the "Directors") be generally and unconditionally authorised in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") up to an aggregate nominal amount of £2,573,529.41 pursuant to a placing, offer for subscription and open offer of New Ordinary Shares in connection with Admission.

This authority shall expire on 30 June 2017 unless renewed at a general meeting prior to such time, save that the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require Ordinary Shares to be allotted or rights granted to subscribe for or convert any security into Ordinary Shares after such expiry and the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") may allot Ordinary Shares or grant such rights in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the authorities conferred by this resolution had not expired.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION

  1. THAT, subject to and conditional upon the passing of Resolution 1, the Directors be generally and unconditionally empowered for the purposes of section 571 of the Act to allot equity securities (within the meaning of section 560 of the Act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 1 as if section 561 of the Act and any pre-emption rights in the Company's articles of association did not apply to any such allotment.

This power shall expire on 30 June 2017 unless renewed at a general meeting prior to such time, save that the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Board may allot equity securities in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the power conferred by this resolution had not expired.

By order of the Board Dated 24 April 2017

Henry Franklin for and on behalf of Tritax Management LLP Company Secretary

Notes:

    1. A form of appointment of proxy (the Form of Proxy) is enclosed with this notice. A Shareholder entitled to attend, speak and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend, speak and vote at the General Meeting. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman of the General Meeting, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided on the enclosed Form of Proxy.
    1. On a vote by show of hands, every Shareholder who is present in person has one vote and every duly appointed proxy who is present has one vote. On a poll vote, every Shareholder who is present in person or by way of a proxy has one vote for every Ordinary Share of which he/she is a holder. The "Vote Withheld" option on the proxy form is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However it should be noted that a "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" a resolution.
    1. In the case of joint holders, such persons shall not have the right to vote individually in respect of an Ordinary Share but shall elect one of their number to represent them and vote in person or by proxy in their name. In default of such an election, the vote of the person first named in the register of members of the Company tendering a vote will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
    1. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different Ordinary Shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one Ordinary Share. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy the enclosed Form of Proxy. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number of Ordinary Shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of Ordinary Shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions given by you. All hard copy Form of Proxies must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
    1. In order to be valid a Form of Proxy must be returned by one of the following methods:
  • (a) in hard copy form by post, by courier or by hand to the Company's registrar, Capita Asset Services, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU; or
  • (b) in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out below; or
  • (c) using the Share Portal Service at www.capitashareportal.com. If not already registered for the Share Portal, you will need your Investor Code which can be found on your share certificate,

and in each case, the Form of Proxy must be received not less than 48 hours before the time for holding of the General Meeting. In calculating such 48-hour period, no account shall be taken of any part of a day that is not a business day. A Shareholder that appoints a person to act on its behalf under any power of attorney or other authority and wishes to use method (a), (b) or (c) must return such power of attorney or other authority to Capita Asset Services, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU prior to using such method and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time of the General Meeting.

    1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the General Meeting and any adjournment thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. 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.
    1. If the Chairman, as a result of any proxy appointments, is given discretion as to how the votes the subject of those proxies are cast and the voting rights in respect of those discretionary proxies, when added to the interests in the Company's securities already held by the Chairman, result in the Chairman holding such number of voting rights that he has a notifiable obligation under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Chairman will make the necessary notification to the Company and the FCA. As a result, any member holding 3 per cent. or more of the voting rights in the Company who grants the Chairman a discretionary proxy in respect of some or all of those voting rights and so would otherwise have a notification obligation under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, need not make a separate notification to the Company and the FCA.
    1. In order for a Form of Proxy, or instruction, made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST Proxy Instruction must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message regardless of whether it relates to the Form of Proxy or to 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 by the

latest time(s) for receipt of Form of Proxies specified in the Notice. 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. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertified Securities Regulations 2001. CREST members and where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear 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 therefore 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 his or her 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. In the case of a Shareholder which is a company, a hard copy Form of Proxy must be executed under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised.
    1. Any corporation which is a Shareholder may by a resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the General Meeting or to approve a resolution submitted in writing and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of the corporation which he or she represents the same powers (other than to appoint a proxy) as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder.
    1. Completion and return of the Form of Proxy will not preclude a holder of Ordinary Shares from subsequently attending, speaking and voting in person at the General Meeting should they so wish.
    1. If you submit more than one valid Form of Proxy, the Form of Proxy received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. If the Company is unable to determine which Form of Proxy was last validly received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of the same.
    1. To have the right to attend, speak and to vote at the General Meeting (and also for the purpose of how many votes a holder of Ordinary Shares casts), a holder of Ordinary Shares must first have his or her name entered in the register of holders of Ordinary Shares by close of business on 9 May 2017. Changes to entries on the register of holders of Ordinary Shares after that time shall be disregarded in determining the right of any holder of Ordinary Shares to attend and vote at the General Meeting.
    1. To allow effective constitution of the General Meeting, if it is apparent to the Chairman of the General Meeting that no Shareholders will be present in person or by proxy, other than by proxy in the Chairman's favour, then the Chairman may appoint a substitute to act as proxy in his stead for any Shareholder, provided that such substitute shall vote on the same basis as the Chairman.
    1. The Articles and the Circular will be available free of charge during normal business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) at the Company's registered office and the offices of Taylor Wessing LLP at 5 New Street Square, London EC4A 3TW from the date of the Circular until the conclusion of the General Meeting and at the place of the General Meeting for at least 15 minutes prior to, and during, the General Meeting.
    1. The Prospectus only will be available free of charge during normal business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) from Capita Asset Services, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU and from the offices of Taylor Wessing LLP at 5 New Street Square, London EC4A 3TW as well as on the Company's website (www.tritaxbigbox.co.uk) and from the National Storage Mechanism of the FCA at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm.
    1. As at 21 April 2017 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), 1,105,688,057 Ordinary Shares were in issue (no Ordinary Shares were held in treasury). Accordingly, the total number of voting rights of the Company as at 21 April 2017 was 1,105,688,057.
    1. In accordance with section 571(6) and 571(7) Companies Act 2006, the reasons for the directors' recommendation to vote in favour of the disapplication of pre-emption rights and the justification for the amounts proposed is set out in Part 1 of the Circular.
    1. Defined terms used but not defined in this notice shall have the same meaning given to them in the circular of the Company dated 21 April 2017.
