RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION


    Proposed Purchase of 1 in every 44 Ordinary Shares of 1p each in the Company
   (“Ordinary Shares”) at 55p per share by way of a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”)

                                  Notice of General Meeting

Raven is today posting a circular to its shareholders containing full details of the Tender Offer
and a notice of General Meeting convened for 10.30 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time (“GMT”) on
Wednesday 7 November 2018.

On 28 August 2018, the Board of Raven announced in its Interim Results for the six months
ended 30 June 2018, that the Company intended to offer to purchase 1 in every 44 Ordinary
Shares by way of a tender offer at a price of 55p per share. The Tender Offer will also present
tendering shareholders with an opportunity to sell more than their pro rata entitlement (up to
their entire holding of Ordinary Shares) to the extent that other shareholders tender less than
their pro rata entitlement. In such case, surplus tenders will be accepted in proportion to the
number of additional Ordinary Shares tendered so that the total number of Ordinary Shares
purchased does not exceed 14,480,510 (assuming no valid exercise or conversion of the
Company's warrants or Convertible Preference Shares respectively in the period).

If the maximum number of 14,480,510 Ordinary Shares is acquired (assuming no valid
exercise or conversion of the Company's Warrants or Convertible Preference Shares
respectively in the period), this will result in an amount of approximately £8 million being paid
by the Company to its shareholders. It is intended that the Ordinary Shares purchased under
the Tender Offer will be cancelled and not available for re-issue.

The Tender Offer is open to all holders of Ordinary Shares on the Company's register at 6.00
p.m. GMT on Tuesday 6 November 2018, who may participate by tendering all or a proportion
of their holding of Ordinary Shares at 55p per share. Warrantholders and holders of
Convertible Preference Shares who wish to participate in the Tender Offer will be required to
exercise their warrants or convert their shares respectively by Friday 26 October 2018 in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant Instrument and Company's Articles. No Ordinary
Shares will be purchased in relation to the Tender Offer unless the relevant resolution to be
proposed at the General Meeting is passed.

Shareholders on the Company’s South African register should refer to the separate Letter to
South African Shareholders for details of the action to be taken in relation to the Tender Offer
and the General Meeting.

Copies of the circular, tender offer forms and form of proxy will be submitted to the National
Storage    Mechanism        and     will  shortly   be     available    for   inspection    at
http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM. In addition, the documents will be available on the
Company’s website (www.theravenpropertygroup.com/investors) and may also be obtained
from the Company Secretary.
