Annual results presentation for the period from incorporation to 31 March 2018 1 LXI REIT plc Annual results: The Company LXi REIT plc provides shareholders with regular, attractive income, with the potential to sustainably grow the dividend in absolute terms through upward-only inflation-protected long-term lease agreements, together with capital growth over the medium term. We selectively invest in UK commercial property assets let on very long (typically 20 to 30 years to first break), inflation-linked leases to a wide range of strong tenant covenants across a diverse range of robust property sectors. We also carefully 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 does not undertake any direct development activity nor assume direct development risk. The Company is a UK real estate investment trust (‘REIT’) listed on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and was admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange in February 2017. 2 LXI REIT plc Company overview: Management team and Board of Directors Investment Manager and Investment Advisor Non-Executive Directors John White and Simon Lee are co-managers Governance structure strongly aligned with shareholder interests Over 50 years of experience and transacted £1bn+ of commercial and NEDs paid in locked-in shares residential properties Four highly experienced, independent non-executive directors Realised an average IRR of 20% Strong team of support - 150 people dedicated to Real Estate; part of LJ Partnership, multi-family office and asset manager with $14bn AUM John White Stephen Hubbard – Non-Executive Chairman 30 years’ property industry experience Currently Chairman of CBRE UK, having spent 40 years at the firm Previously Partner at Cushman & Wakefield.
