Change of AIFM

As previously announced on 11 October 2023, Regional REIT Limited (LSE: RGL), will appoint ESR Europe Investment Management Ltd. ("ESR Europe") to act as its Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM"), effective 30 August 2024, following ESR Europe's authorisation as an alternative investment fund manager by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA").

ESR Europe was authorised by the FCA on 1 August 2024. ESR Europe will replace Toscafund Asset Management LLP ("Toscafund") as AIFM.

The appointment of ESR Europe as the Company's AIFM was agreed at the time that an affiliated party to ESR Europe (ARA Europe Private Markets Ltd., which has since been renamed to ESR Europe Private Markets Ltd.) purchased the investment management contract from Toscafund.

ESR Europe is the European platform of ESR Group, a global real estate investment manager with a leading position in the new economy in Asia-Pacific.
