To the holders of Tritax EuroBox plc shares

Dear Shareholder

Notice of Annual General Meeting

I am pleased to be writing to you with details of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Tritax EuroBox plc (the "Company"), which we intend to hold at Ashurst LLP, London Fruit & Wool Exchange, 1 Duval Square, London E1 6PW on 10 February 2022 at 10.00 a.m. The formal Notice of Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 3 to 6 of this document.

The Company has been monitoring closely the evolving situation relating to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Whilst it is currently expected that there will be no restrictions on social contact at the time of the AGM, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case. The priority of the Board at this time is the health, safety and wellbeing of all Shareholders and Directors. Shareholders should carefully consider whether or not it is appropriate to attend the AGM.

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to exercise their voting rights by completing and submitting a Form of Proxy. It is highly recommended that Shareholders submit their Form of Proxy as early as possible to ensure that their votes are counted at the AGM. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the chair of the AGM as their proxy rather than a named individual, who may not be able to attend the AGM, depending on restrictions at the time, to ensure that each Shareholder's vote will be counted.

The situation in respect of COVID-19 may change rapidly and Shareholders should note that further changes may need to be put in place at short notice in relation to the AGM. The Company will continue to monitor closely the situation in the lead up to the AGM and will make any further updates as required about the meeting on its website at www.tritaxeurobox.co.uk.

The Board considers it important that Shareholders have the opportunity to engage with them. Shareholders are encouraged to ask questions or raise matters of concern by emailing the Company Secretary at [email protected] by 5.30 p.m. on 8 February 2022. Such questions will be answered ahead of the meeting.

Proxy appointments must be received by Computershare Investor Services no later than 10.00 a.m. on 8 February 2022 in order to be valid.

Recommendation

The Board considers that all the resolutions to be put to the meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and are most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the proposed resolutions as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Orr
Chairman

(ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an Ordinary Share and the highest current independent bid for an Ordinary Share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out,

such authority to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, on the date 15 months after the passing of this Resolution 13, save that the Company may before the expiry of this authority make a contract to purchase Ordinary Shares that would or might be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of this authority and may make purchases of Ordinary Shares pursuant to it as if this authority had not expired.

  1. That a general meeting of the Company (other than an Annual General Meeting) may be called on not less than 14 clear days' notice, such authority to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Tritax EuroBox plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022


Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022 Tritax EuroBox plc

Notes

  1. Members are entitled to appoint one or more proxies (who need not be shareholders) to exercise all or any of their rights to vote on their behalf at the meeting and at any adjournment of it. As noted in the Chairman's letter, members are strongly advised to appoint the chair of the AGM as their proxy rather than a named individual.

If a proxy appointment is submitted without indicating how the proxy should vote on any resolution, the proxy will have discretion as to whether and, if so, how they vote.

  1. A proxy form which may be used to make such appointment and give proxy instructions accompanies this notice. If you do not have a proxy form and believe that you should have one, or if you require additional forms, please contact Computershare Investor Services PLC on +44 (0) 370 702 0010.

Members may also appoint a proxy online at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy (more details can be found in the form of proxy) or, for members of CREST, through CREST electronic proxy appointment service (as described in note 12 below) or via the Proximity platform (as described in note 13 below).

  1. To be valid, any proxy instructions must be received by post or by hand (during normal business hours only) by Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY, or at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy, in each case no later than 10.00 a.m. on 8 February 2022, together with, if appropriate, the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a duly certified copy of that power or authority.

  2. Any person to whom this notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") to enjoy information rights (a "Nominated Person") may have a right, under an agreement between him/her and the member by whom he/she was nominated, to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may have a right, under such an agreement, to give instructions to the member as to the exercise of voting rights. The statement of the above rights of the members in relation to the appointment of proxies does not apply to Nominated Persons. Those rights can only be exercised by members of the Company.

  3. A vote withheld option is provided on the form of proxy to enable you to instruct your proxy not to vote on any particular resolution, however, it should be noted that a vote withheld in this way is not a 'vote' in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.

  4. To be entitled to vote (and for the purpose of determining the number of votes members may cast), members must be registered in the register of members of the Company at 5.30 p.m. on 8 February 2022 (or, in the event of any adjournment, 5.30 p.m. on the date which is two days before the time of the adjourned meeting). Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

  5. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

  6. If a member submits more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same shares, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

  7. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.

  8. Any member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. Alternatively, as noted in the Chairman's letter, Shareholders can ask questions or raise matters of concern by emailing the Company Secretary at [email protected] by 5.30 p.m. on 8 February 2022. Such questions will be answered ahead of the meeting. The Company must cause to be answered any questions relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or would involve the disclosure of confidential information or (ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

  9. As at 11 January 2022 (being the last business day prior to the publication of this notice) the Company's issued share capital consists of 806,803,984 Ordinary Shares, carrying one vote each. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at 11 January 2022 are 806,803,984.

  10. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting and any adjournment(s) 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. Please note the following:

(a) In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's 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 is 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 3RA50 by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in this 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 Application 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.


(b) CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) 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 his/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 provider(s) are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

(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.

  1. If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proximity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proximity, please go to www.proximity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 10.00 a.m. on 8 February 2022 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proximity'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.

  2. Copies of the letters of appointment of the Non-Executive Directors will be available for inspection upon request from the Company Secretary during normal business hours from 12 January 2022 until the conclusion of the meeting (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted).

  3. Copy of this notice, and other information required by section 311A of the Act, can be found at https://www.tritaxeurobox.co.uk/investors/shareholder-information/agm/.

  4. You may not use any electronic address (within the meaning of section 333(4) of the Act) provided in this notice (or in any related documents including the proxy form) to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

  5. Under section 527 of the Act, members meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require the Company to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of the Company's accounts (including the auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of the Company ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the Act, (in each case) that the members propose to raise at the AGM. The Company may not require the members requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Act. Where the Company is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the Act, it must forward the statement to the Company's auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the meeting includes any statement that the Company has been required under section 527 of the Act to publish on a website.

Tritax EuroBox plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022


Explanatory notes

The notes on the following pages give an explanation of the proposed resolutions.

Resolutions 1 to 10 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 11 to 14 (inclusive) are proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least three-quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.

Report and accounts (Resolution 1)

This resolution is to receive and adopt the accounts for the financial period ended 30 September 2021 and the associated reports of the Directors and Auditor.

Directors' Remuneration Report (Resolution 2)

This resolution is to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report (other than the part containing the Directors' Remuneration Policy) for the financial period ended 30 September 2021. You can find this report on pages 84 to 86 of the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the financial period ended 30 September 2021. As this vote is an advisory vote, no entitlement of a Director to remuneration is conditional on it. This resolution is required to be put to a vote annually under the Companies Act 2006.

Election of Directors (Resolutions 3 to 6)

Resolutions 3 to 6 (inclusive) are to approve the re-election of Robert Orr, Taco de Groot, Keith Mansfield and Eva-Lotta Sjöstedt as Directors of the Company.

The Directors are committed to measures that promote good corporate governance. All Directors will be submitting themselves for annual re-election by Shareholders at each subsequent Annual General Meeting of the Company. The Board is satisfied that each of the Directors standing for re-election continues to perform effectively and demonstrates commitment to their respective roles.

Short biographical details of each of the Directors standing for re-election are set out on pages 60 to 61 of the Company's Annual Report.

Appointment and remuneration of the Auditor (Resolutions 7 and 8)

Resolution 7 proposes the re-appointment of KPMG LLP as Auditor of the Company and Resolution 8 authorises the Directors to set the Auditor's remuneration.

Dividend payment (Resolution 9)

The Company's dividend policy, as disclosed in its IPO prospectus dated 14 June 2018, is to pay dividends on a quarterly basis. The Company proposes to pay all of its dividends as "interim" dividends, and for the last dividend not to be categorised as a "final" dividend subject to Shareholder approval. The alternative to this would be to declare three interim dividends with the final dividend being proposed as a "final" dividend.

A final dividend, however, would require Shareholder approval which would delay the payment.

Having regard to corporate governance best practice relating to the payment of interim dividends without the approval of a final dividend by a company's Shareholders, the Directors have decided to seek express approval from Shareholders of its policy to pay four interim dividends per year. Should this resolution be approved it will be valid until the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

It should be noted that the dividend policy is not a profit forecast and if dividends are declared by the Directors, they will only be paid to the extent permitted in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

Directors' authority to allot shares (Resolution 10)

The Directors may allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares only if authorised to do so by Shareholders.

Accordingly, Resolution 10 will be proposed as an ordinary resolution to grant the Directors authority to allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company (a) up to a nominal value of €2,689,346 (268,934,600 Ordinary Shares), which is equivalent to approximately one-third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 11 January 2022; and (b) in connection with a pre-emptive rights issue up to an aggregate nominal value of €5,378,693 (537,869,300 Ordinary Shares), which is (before any reduction) approximately two-thirds of the Company's issued share capital as at 11 January 2022.

This is in line with corporate governance guidelines. The Directors have no present intention of using this authority. However, if they do exercise the authority, the Directors intend to take note of relevant corporate governance guidelines in the use of such powers.

As at 11 January 2022, the Company did not hold any shares in treasury.

If the resolution is passed, the authority will expire on the earlier of the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2023 or, if earlier, on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolution.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights (Resolutions 11 and 12)

If the Directors wish to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash, company law requires that these shares are first offered to existing Shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

There may be occasions, however, when the Directors will need the flexibility to finance investment opportunities identified by the Company's investment manager (in accordance with the Company's investment policy) by the issue of Ordinary Shares without a pre-emptive offer to existing Shareholders. The Directors require a power from Shareholders to do so.

Accordingly, Resolution 11 will be proposed as a special resolution to grant the Directors power to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash and otherwise than to existing Shareholders pro rata to their holdings. Apart from offers or invitations in proportion to the respective number of shares held, the power will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of €403,401 (which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 11 January 2022).

Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022 Tritax EuroBox plc


Explanatory notes continued

Resolution 11 also seeks a disapplication of the pre-emption rights on a rights issue or other pre-emptive issue so as to allow the Directors to make exclusions or such other arrangements as may be appropriate to resolve legal, regulatory or practical difficulties which, for example, might arise with overseas Shareholders.

The Directors intend to adhere to the guidance issued by the Investment Association and the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (as updated in March 2015) (the "Statement of Principles").

The Directors seek further power under Resolution 12 to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash and otherwise than to existing Shareholders pro rata to their holdings. Resolution 12 will be proposed as a special resolution. The power will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of €403,401 (which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 11 January 2022) in connection with the financing (or refinancing, if the power is to be used within six months after the original transaction) of a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles. This is in addition to the 5% referred to in Resolution 11.

The Company undertakes that Ordinary Shares will only be issued pursuant to these authorities at a premium to the prevailing Net Asset Value at the time of issue, unless specifically approved by Shareholders in a general meeting.

Resolutions 11 and 12 have been separated in accordance with the guidance issued by the Pre-Emption Group.

If given, the powers contained in Resolutions 11 and 12 will each expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2023 or, if earlier, on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolutions.

Authority to purchase own shares (Resolution 13)

In certain circumstances, it may be advantageous for the Company to purchase its own shares and Resolution 13 seeks the authority from Shareholders to continue to do so. Resolution 13 will be proposed as a special resolution. The Directors will exercise this authority only when, in the light of market conditions prevailing at the time, they believe that the effect of such purchases will be to increase earnings per share and is in the best interests of Shareholders generally. Other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall position of the Company will be taken into account when exercising this authority.

Any shares purchased in this way may either be cancelled (and the number of shares in issue will be reduced accordingly) or, in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, retained as treasury shares.

This would give the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively and provides the Company with greater flexibility in the management of its capital base.

Once held in treasury, the Company is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at meetings in respect of the shares. Further, no dividend or other distribution of the Company's assets may be made to the Company in respect of the treasury shares.

The resolution specifies the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be acquired (approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 11 January 2022) and the maximum and minimum prices at which they may be bought.

There are no warrants or options to subscribe for Ordinary Shares outstanding as at 11 January 2022.

If given, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2023 or, if earlier, on the date falling 15 months after the passing of the resolution.

General meetings: length of notice (Resolution 14)

The Companies Act 2006 requires the Company to give at least 21 clear days' notice for a general meeting of the Company (other than Annual General Meetings) unless the Company:

(a) has obtained Shareholder approval for the holding of general meetings on shorter notice, which cannot be less than 14 clear days; and
(b) offers the facility for all Shareholders to vote by electronic means.

Resolution 14 seeks such approval and will be proposed as a special resolution. The minimum notice period for Annual General Meetings remains at least 21 clear days' notice. This authority would provide the Company with flexibility where action needs to be taken quickly. It is intended that this shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine, but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of Shareholders as a whole.

Should this resolution be approved it will be valid until the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.
