Result of Issue

Further to the announcement on 2 February 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Residential Secure Income plc (ticker: RESI) (the "Company" or "ReSI") , which invests in independent retirement living and shared ownership to deliver secure, inflation-linked returns , is pleased to announce the results of the placing of new  ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("NewOrdinary Shares") (the "Placing") and the retail offer of New Ordinary Shares via the PrimaryBid platform (the "Retail Offer", together with the Placing, the "Issue").

A total of 13,824,884 New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Issue, raising gross proceeds of £15 million.  13,087,870 New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Placing and 737,014  New Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer.

Ben Fry, Head of Housing at Gresham House, said:

"We are very pleased with the support of investors for the Issue, the proceeds of which will, together with existing capital resources and our ultra-long term debt facility, allow us to fully finance the £39 million of accretive shared ownership transactions which are currently in legals."

Application for Admission

Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "LondonStockExchange") for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on 7 February 2022 and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on the same day.

Total Voting Rights

On Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 185,056,620 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. This figure may be used by Shareholders in determining the denominator for the calculation by which they will establish if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares and each other, and will rank in full for all dividends made, paid or declared in respect of the Ordinary Shares by reference to a record date after their issue, including the next quarterly dividend for the quarter ending 31 March 2022 which is expected to be declared in May 2022. For the avoidance of doubt, the New Ordinary Shares will not be entitled to the dividend declared on 27 January 2022 in relation to the quarter ended 31 December 2021.

The Placing was conducted through an accelerated bookbuild by Jefferies International Limited ("Jefferies").

The Placing is conditional, among other things, upon Admission becoming effective and the placing agreement dated 2 February 2022 between the Company, the Fund Manager and Jefferies (the "PlacingAgreement" not being terminated in accordance with its terms.

NOTES

Residential Secure Income plc (LSE: RESI) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on delivering secure, inflation-linked returns with a focus on two resident sub-sectors in UK residential - independent retirement rentals and shared ownership - underpinned by an ageing demographic and untapped and strong demand for affordable home ownership.

ReSI targets a secure, long-dated, inflation-linked dividend of 5.16 pence per share p.a.¹ (paid quarterly) and a total return in excess of 8.0% per annum. Including recently committed acquisitions, ReSI's portfolio comprises 3,050 properties, with an (unaudited) IFRS fair value as at 31 December 2021 of £351m ².

ReSI's purpose is to deliver affordable, high quality, safe homes with great customer service and long-term stability of tenure for residents. We achieve this through meeting demand from housing developers , housing associations, local authorities and private developers for long-term investment partners to accelerate the development of socially and economically beneficial affordable housing.

ReSI's subsidiary, ReSI Housing Limited, is registered as a for-profit Registered Provider of social housing, and so provides a unique proposition to its housing developer partners, being a long-term private sector landlord within the social housing regulatory environment. As a Registered Provider, ReSI Housing can acquire affordable housing subject to s106 planning restrictions and housing funded by government grant.

Acquisitions by ReSI   are limited to homes with sufficient cashflows, counterparty credit quality and property security to be capable of supporting long ‑ term investment grade equivalent debt. ReSI   does not manage or operate stock and uses experienced and credit-worthy managers.

ReSI   is managed by ReSI Capital Management Limited, whose immediate parent company, TradeRisks Limited, has been active within the social housing sector for over 20 years as a funding arranger and advisor and, over the last four years, as an investor through ReSI.

ReSI Capital Management and its parent, TradeRisks, were acquired by Gresham House in March 2020, further increasing the investment expertise available to ReSI.
