LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN ("LTIP") AWARDS TO DIRECTOR/PERSON DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

The board of directors (the "Board") of Grit Real Estate Income Group Limited, a leading pan-African real estate company focused on investing in, developing and actively managing a diversified portfolio of assets underpinned by predominantly US$ and Euro denominated long-term leases with high quality multi-national tenants, notifies of the following LTIP awards to Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs").

Long Term Incentive Plan Awards

On 17 June 2021, following the Company's step up to the Premium listing segment of the London Stock Exchange, shareholders approved a new long-term incentive scheme, better aligned with UK corporate governance and current best practice (Link to circular here). The Board now announces conditional awards of shares being made to PDMRs under the LTIP (the " Awards "). The Awards are designed to secure and promote the Group's long-term strategic objectives and will be granted as conditional rights to acquire shares at the third anniversary of grant, subject to the satisfaction of stretching and demanding financial and non-financial performance conditions, the grantee's continued service and minimum holding periods post vesting. 

The maximum number of shares which may be acquired by PDMRs as a result of these Awards is outlined below:

PDMR	Awards under LTIP
Bronwyn Knight	1,442,308
Leon van de Moortele	961,538
Moira van der Westhuizen	346,154

As announced on 21 December 2021, the Grit Executive Share II Trust ("Trust") acquired 5,588,462 new ordinary shares of nil par value ("Ordinary Shares") in the Open Offer and Placing. These Ordinary Shares were to be used for awards under the Company's LTIP and will continue to be held by the Trust until vesting at the third anniversary of grant.

The Scheme includes malus and clawback provisions that may be used to reduce or recover Shares from participants upon the occurrence of certain events and circumstances within five years of grant.
