Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc (the “Company”) announces its fourth interim dividend for the year

The dividend is fully covered from contractual income receivable from the current portfolio. Once fully invested,
including the debt being drawn, the Company will target an annualised euro dividend yield of 5.5%, based on the euro
equivalent of the issue price as at admission.

The interim dividend payment will be made on Friday, 19 January 2018 to shareholders on the register on the record

African register. The exchange rate for determining the interim dividend paid in rand will be confirmed by way of an

euro. The form for applying for such election can be obtained from the Company’s UK registrars (Equiniti Limited) and
