The Company's LEI is: 2138008YZGXOKAXQVI45
NOTES:
LXI REIT plc invests in UK commercial property assets let, or
pre-let, on very long (typically 20 to 30 years to expiry or first
break), inflation-linked leases to a wide range of strong tenant
covenants across a diverse range of robust property sectors.
The Company may invest in fixed-price forward funded
developments, provided they are pre-let to an acceptable tenant and
full planning permission is in place. The Company will not
undertake any direct development activity nor assume direct
development risk.
The Company is targeting an annual dividend of 6.0 pence per
Ordinary Share for the 12-months commencing 1 April 2021*.
The Company, a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
incorporated in England and Wales, is listed on the premium listing
segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and
was admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities of
the London Stock Exchange in February 2017.
The Company is a constituent of the FTSE 250, FTSE EPRA/NAREIT
and MSCI indices.
* These are guidance levels or targets only and not a profit
forecast. In setting this target the Board has applied
sensitivities to contracted rental income that reflect the possible
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and assessed the effect of such
sensitivities on the net earnings and liquidity of the Group. The
target assumes that future rent collection is not materially lower
than that achieved so far throughout the pandemic and the Board
reserves the right to withdraw or amend guidance in the event that
rent collection materially worsens.
There can be no assurance that this target will be met and it
should not be taken as an indication of the Group's expected future
results which may be impacted by events or circumstances existing
or arising after the date that the Annual Dividend Target was
announced.

The information in this announcement is for background purposes
only and does not purport to be full or complete. None of Peel Hunt
or Jefferies, or any of their respective affiliates, accepts any
responsibility or liability whatsoever for, or makes any
representation or warranty, express or implied, as to this
announcement, including the truth, accuracy or completeness of the
information in this announcement (or whether any information has
been omitted from the announcement) or any other information
relating to the Company or associated companies, whether written,
oral or in a visual or electronic form, and howsoever transmitted
or made available or for any loss howsoever arising from any use of
the announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection
therewith. Peel Hunt and Jefferies, and their affiliates,
accordingly disclaim all and any liability whether arising in tort,
contract or otherwise which they might otherwise be found to have
in respect of this announcement or its contents or otherwise
arising in connection therewith.
In connection with the Initial Issue and/or any Subsequent

take up a portion of the New Ordinary Shares as a principal
position and in that capacity may retain, purchase, sell, offer to
sell for their own accounts such New Ordinary Shares and other
securities of the Company or related investments in connection with
the Initial Issue, relevant Subsequent Issue or otherwise.
Accordingly, references in the Prospectus, once published, to the
New Ordinary Shares being issued, offered, subscribed, acquired,
placed or otherwise dealt in should be read as including any issue
or offer to, or subscription, acquisition, placing or dealing by,
Peel Hunt and any of its affiliates and/or Jefferies and any of its
affiliates acting in such capacity. In addition Peel Hunt and/or
Jefferies, and any of their affiliates may enter into financing
arrangements (including swaps or contracts for differences) with
investors in connection with which Peel Hunt and/or Jefferies, and
any of their affiliates may from time to time acquire, hold or
dispose of Ordinary Shares. Peel Hunt and Jefferies do not intend
to disclose the extent of any such investment or transactions
otherwise than in accordance with any legal or regulatory
obligations to do so.
Information to Distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within: (a) the UK's implementation of EU Directive
2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("UK
MiFID II"); and (b) the UK's implementation of Articles 9 and 10 of
Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing UK MiFID
II, and in particular Chapter 3 of the Product Intervention and
Product Governance Sourcebook of the FCA (together, the "MiFID II
Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New
Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process,
which has determined that such securities are: (i) compatible with
an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the
criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each
as defined in UK MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution
through all distribution channels as are permitted by UK MiFID II
(the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors (such term to have the same meaning as in
the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) should note that: the
market price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors
could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares
offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an
investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with
investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital
protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate
financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources
to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target
Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation
to the Inital Issue and/or Share Issuance Programme. Furthermore,
it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment,
Peel Hunt and Jefferies will only procure investors (pursuant to
the Initial Issue and Share Issuance Programme) who meet the
criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not
constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for
the purposes of UK MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any
investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take
any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Ordinary
Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
