RESULTS OF INITIAL PLACING AND OFFER

Further to the announcement on 18 April 2016, the Company is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of £84 million by way of an initial placing (the "Initial Placing") and offer for subscription (the "Offer") of 80,000,000 new ordinary shares ("New Shares") pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Initial Placing and Offer set out in the prospectus published by the Company on 18 April 2016.

Investor demand for New Shares exceeded the available supply as initially targeted by the Company. After careful consideration of the existing acquisition opportunities, the Board has determined to increase the size of the Initial Placing and Offer to 80,000,000 New Shares at 105 pence per share. Notwithstanding the increased number of New Shares made available pursuant to the Initial Placing and Offer, investor demand still exceeded this supply and as such a scaling back exercise has been undertaken.

Applications will be made to the FCA for admission of the New Shares to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities (''Admission''). It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that unconditional dealings in the New Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on12 May 2016.

The New Shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 252,180,851 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury.  Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 252,180,851. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 Commenting, Malcolm Naish, Non-Executive Chairman of Target said:

"We are delighted and encouraged by the support shown from existing and new investors in this fundraise, particularly given the background of challenging real estate equity markets. The fundraising will allow the Company to take advantage of a strong and attractive pipeline of opportunities and will ensure it is well positioned to provide significant value to shareholders."
