prospectus relating to the Company and does not constitute, or form
part of, any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or an invitation
to purchase investments of any description, or any solicitation of
any offer to subscribe for, any securities in the Company in any
jurisdiction nor shall it, or any part of it, or the fact of its
distribution, form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with
or act as any inducement to enter into, any contract therefor. This
Announcement does not constitute a recommendation regarding any
securities. Copies of the prospectus to be published by the Company
will be available from www.supermarketincomereit.com .
Recipients of this Announcement who are considering acquiring
any New Ordinary Shares, are reminded that any such acquisition
must be made only on the basis of the information to be contained
in the Prospectus (or any supplementary prospectus) which may be
different from the information contained in this Announcement and
must not be made in reliance on this Announcement. The subscription
for New Ordinary Shares is subject to specific legal or regulatory
restrictions in certain jurisdictions. Persons distributing this
Announcement must satisfy themselves that it is lawful to do so.
The Company assumes no responsibility in the event that there is a
violation by any person of such restrictions.
This Announcement does not constitute and may not constitute and
may not be construed as a recommendation regarding the Issue or the
provision of investment advice by any party. No information set out
in this Announcement is intended to form the basis of any contract
of sale, investment decision or any decision to purchase
securities. Potential investors should consult a professional
advisor as to the suitability of an investment in the securities
for the person concerned.
The value of Ordinary Shares and the income from them is not
guaranteed and can fall as well as rise due to stock market and
currency movements. When you sell your investment you may get back
less than you originally invested. Figures refer to past
performance and past performance is not a reliable indicator of
future results. Returns may increase or decrease as a result of
currency fluctuations. Capital is at risk and investors need to
understand the risks of investing. Please refer to the Prospectus
(or any supplementary prospectus) when published for further
information, in particular the "Risk Factors" section.
This Announcement may not be published, distributed, released or
transmitted by any means or media, directly or indirectly, in whole
or in part, in or into the United States. This Announcement does
not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to
buy, securities in the United States. The securities mentioned
herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act") or
with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States and will not be offered, sold,
exercised, resold, transferred or delivered, directly or
indirectly, in or into the United States or to, or for the account
or benefit of, any US person (as defined under Regulation S under
the US Securities Act) unless registered under the US Securities
Act or offered in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the
registration requirements of the US Securities Act. There will be
no public offer of the shares in the United States. The Company has
not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Neither this Announcement nor any copy of it may be: (i) taken
or transmitted into or distributed in Canada, Australia, Japan or
the Republic of South Africa or to any resident thereof or (ii) any

distribution of this Announcement in other jurisdictions may be
restricted by law and the persons into whose possession this

or otherwise arising in connection therewith.
This Announcement and the Prospectus have not been, and will not
be, lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission as a disclosure document under Chapter 6D of the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the "Australian Corporations Act").
This Announcement and the Prospectus does not purport to include
the information required of a disclosure document under Chapter 6D
of the Australian Corporations Act. Accordingly, this Announcement
and the Prospectus and any other document or material in connection
with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase,
of New Ordinary Shares must not be issued or distributed directly
or indirectly in or into Australia, and no New Ordinary Shares may
be offered for sale (or transferred, assigned or otherwise
alienated) to investors in Australia for at least 12 months after
their issue, except in circumstances where disclosure to investors
is not required under Part 6D.2 of the Australian Corporations Act.
Each purchaser of New Ordinary Shares will be deemed to have
acknowledged and accepted the above and, by applying for New
Ordinary Shares under this Announcement on the basis of the
Prospectus, gives an undertaking to the Company not to offer, sell,
transfer, assign or otherwise alienate those securities to persons
in Australia (except in the circumstances referred to above) for 12
months after their issue.
The New Ordinary Shares have been and will not be qualified by a
prospectus in accordance with the document requirements under
applicable securities law in any Canadian jurisdiction and
therefore may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in
Canada except in compliance with applicable Canadian securities
laws.
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area
(each, a "Member State"), no New Ordinary Shares have been offered
or will be offered pursuant to the Initial Issue to the public in
that Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in
relation to the New Ordinary Shares having been approved by the
competent authority in that Member State or, where appropriate,
approved in another Member State and notified to the competent
authority in that Member State (all in accordance with the
Prospectus Regulation), except that offers of New Ordinary Shares
may be made to the public in that Member State at any time under
the following exemptions under the Prospectus Regulation:
a) to any legal entity which is a "qualified investor" as
defined under the Prospectus Regulation;
b) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than
"qualified investors" as defined under the Prospectus Regulation),
subject to obtaining the prior consent of Stifel for any such
offer; or
c) in any other circumstances falling within Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation,
provided that no such offer of New Ordinary Shares shall require
the Company to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to
Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression "offer to the
public" in relation to any offer of New Ordinary Shares in any
Member State means the communication in any form and by any means
of sufficient information on the terms of the Initial Issue, and
any New Ordinary Shares to be offered, so as to enable an investor
to decide to purchase or subscribe for any New Ordinary Shares.
In the case of any New Ordinary Shares being offered to a
financial intermediary within the EEA, as that term is used in the
Prospectus Regulation, such financial intermediary will be deemed
to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and agreed that the
New Ordinary Shares purchased and/or subscribed for by it in the
Initial Issue have not been purchased and/or subscribed for on a
non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been purchased
and/or subscribed for with a view to their offer or resale to,
persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any New
Ordinary Shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a
Member State to "qualified investors" (as defined in the Prospectus
Regulation) or in circumstances in which the prior consent of
Stifel has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.
In the case of any New Ordinary Shares being offered to a
financial intermediary within the United Kingdom as that term is
used in the UK Prospectus Regulation, such financial intermediary
will be deemed to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and
agreed that the New Ordinary Shares purchased and/or subscribed for
by it in the Issue have not been purchased and/or subscribed for on
a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been
purchased and/or subscribed for with a view to their offer or
resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer
of any New Ordinary Shares to the public other than their offer or
resale in the United Kingdom to "qualified investors" (as defined
in the UK Prospectus Regulation) or in circumstances in which the
prior consent of Stifel has been obtained to each such proposed
offer or resale.
The Company and its affiliates, representatives and others will
rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation,
warranty, acknowledgement and agreement. Notwithstanding the above,
a person who is not a qualified investor and who has notified
Stifel of such fact in writing may, with the consent of Stifel, be
permitted to subscribe for and/or purchase New Ordinary Shares in
the Initial Issue.
The New Ordinary Shares have not been and will not be registered
under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Law No.
25 of 1948 as amended) ("Financial Instruments and Exchange Act"),
and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or
to, or for the benefit of, a resident of Japan (including any
corporation or entity organised under the laws of Japan) or to
others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan,
except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Securities and Exchange
Law and other relevant laws and regulations of Japan.
This document will not be registered as a prospectus in terms of
the Companies Act 1973 in South Africa and, as such, any offer of
New Ordinary Shares in South Africa may only be made if it shall
not be capable of being construed as an offer to the public as
envisaged by section 144 of the Companies Act 1973 in South Africa.
Furthermore, any offer or sale of the New Ordinary Shares shall be
subject to compliance with South Africa's exchange control
regulations.
The New Ordinary Shares and any related services, information
and opinions described or referenced in this Announcement and the
Prospectus are not, and may not be, offered or marketed to or
directed at persons in Switzer-land (a) that do not meet the
definition of "qualified investor" pursuant to the Swiss Federal
Act on Collective Investment Schemes of 23 June 2006 ("CISA")
("Non-Qualified Investors"), or (b) that are high net worth
individuals (including private investment structures established
for such high-net worth individuals if they do not have
professional treasury operations) that have opted out of customer
protection under the Swiss Federal Financial Services Act of 15
June 2018 ("FinSA") and that have elected to be treated as
"professional clients" and "qualified investors" under the FinSA
and the CISA, respectively ("Elective Qualified Investors").
In particular, none of the information provided in this
Announcement and the Prospectus should be construed as an offer in
Switzerland for the purchase or sale of New Ordinary Shares or any
related services, nor as advertising in Switzerland for New
Ordinary Shares or any related services, to or directed at
Non-Qualified Investors or Elective Qualified Investors.
Circulating or otherwise providing access to this Announcement and
the Prospectus or offering, advertising, offering or selling New
Ordinary Shares or any related services to Non-Qualified Investors
or Elective Qualified Investors may trigger, in particular,
approval requirements and other regulatory requirements in
Switzerland.
The New Ordinary Shares and any related services may not be (and
are not hereby) publicly offered, directly or indirectly, in
Switzerland within the meaning of the FinSA and no application has
or will be made to admit the New Ordinary Shares to trading on any
trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in
Switzerland. Neither this Announcement and the Prospectus nor any
other offering or marketing material relating to the New Ordinary
Shares constitutes a prospectus pursuant to the FinSA or pursuant
to Swiss trading venue rules and it may thus not fulfil the
information standards established thereunder. No key information
document pursuant to Swiss law has been established for the New
Ordinary Shares. Neither this Announcement and the Prospectus nor
any other offering or marketing material relating to the New
Ordinary Shares may be listed publicly distributed or otherwise
made publicly available in Switzerland.
This Announcement and the Prospectus has not been and will not
be approved, and may not be able to be approved, by the Swiss
Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA ("FINMA") under the
CISA. Therefore, investors will not benefit from protection under
CISA or supervision by FINMA. These materials do in particular not
constitute investment advice.
The Initial Issue is not a public offering (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) of securities in the United States. The New
Ordinary Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under
the Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of
any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be
offered or sold in the United States except in reliance on Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or in a transaction not subject to
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in
accordance with applicable securities laws of any securities
regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the
United States.
Each purchaser of New Ordinary Shares located outside the United
States, by accepting delivery of this Announcement and the
Prospectus, will be deemed to have represented, agreed and
acknowledged that it has received a copy of Announcement and the
Prospectus and such other information as it deems necessary to make

directors, officers, agents, employees, advisers and others will

with respect to each such account and it has full power to make,
and does make, such foregoing representations, agreements and
acknowledgments on behalf of each such account; and
g) if all or part of the funds that it is using or will use to
acquire New Ordinary Shares are assets of an employee benefit plan
(as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA,
or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, or an entity
whose underlying assets include plan assets for purposes of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of a plan's investment in the
entity, (i) its acquisition of New Ordinary Shares is permissible
under the documents governing the investment of such plan assets;
(ii) it has concluded that the acquisition of New Ordinary Shares
is consistent with applicable fiduciary responsibilities under
ERISA, including ERISA's prudence and diversification requirements,

not constitute a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" within the
meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Each subscriber for New Ordinary Shares located within the
United States, by accepting delivery of this Announcement and the
Prospectus, will be deemed to have represented, agreed and

connection with any distribution of the New Ordinary Shares;
b) it or a purchaser representative, adviser or consultant

under no obligation to assist it in obtaining or complying with any
exemption from registration. The Company may require that any
transferor furnish a legal opinion satisfactory to the Company and
its counsel that the proposed transfer complies with any applicable
federal, state and any other applicable securities laws.
Appropriate stop transfer instructions may be placed with respect
to the New Ordinary Shares and any certificates issued representing
the New Ordinary Shares will contain the following legend;

e) it recognises that there is currently no public market for
the New Ordinary Shares in the United States and that such a market

indefinite period of time;

as defined in Rule 501 under the US Securities Act and has
delivered to Stifel an investor representation letter to such

Information to Distributors
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within: (a) the Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook of the FCA Handbook; and (b) EU Directive
2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID
II") and Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU)
2017/593 supplementing MiFID II, which are incorporated into UK law
by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended
by The Markets in Financial Instruments (Amendment) (EU Exit)
Regulations 2018, as amended from time to time (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 the New Ordinary Shares 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 the FCA Handbook; and
(ii) eligible for distribution to retail investors through advised
sales only and to professional clients and eligible counterparties
through all distribution channels as are permitted by applicable
law (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target
Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the 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 Initial Issue
and the Placing Programme.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or
appropriateness; 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.
