NOTES:

The Company intends to invest in portfolios of Homes across residential asset classes that comprise the stock of Housing Associations and Local Authorities, comprising Shared Ownership Homes, Market Rental Homes, Functional Homes and Sub-Market Rental Homes throughout the UK.

Homes acquired by the Company will predominantly be on a freehold or long leasehold basis (typically 99 years or more to maturity) and benefit from long term (typically 20 years plus) inflation-adjusted cash flows. Acquisitions by the Company will be limited to Homes with sufficient cashflows, counterparty credit quality and property security that allow the Fund Manager to arrange long-term investment grade equivalent debt.

The Company is targeting, on a fully invested and geared basis, a dividend yield of 5 per cent. per annum based on the issue price of 100 pence per Ordinary Share, which the Company expects to increase broadly in line with inflation, and a total return in excess of 8 per cent. per annum¹.

The Company expects to make a meaningful contribution to the UK housing shortage by allowing Housing Associations and Local Authorities to recycle capital into socially and economically beneficial new housing.
