                   ("Sirius Real Estate", "Sirius", the "Company" or the "Group")

            Sirius completes acquisitions in Dresden, Germany and Southampton, U.K.

Sirius Real Estate, the leading owner and operator of branded business and industrial parks providing
conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany and the U.K., has completed the previously
announced acquisitions of a business park in Dresden, Germany, for €23.4 million (including
acquisition costs), and of Chalcroft Business Park in Southampton, U.K., for £38.6 million (including
acquisition costs), together with an adjoining 4.5 acre development site with outline planning
permission, for a further £4.2 million (including acquisition costs).

The Dresden acquisition was completed on an expedited basis following notarisation in early August,
facilitated by the vendor entering into a one-year sale and leaseback agreement. Sirius' strategy to
reposition the site as a multi-tenanted business park is already under way and has attracted strong
initial interest from prospective occupiers. The asset, Sirius' fourth in the Dresden area, currently
generates a net operating income of €2.1 million and was acquired at an EPRA net initial yield of
9.13%.

Completion of the Chalcroft Business Park acquisition followed the fulfilment of a condition relating
to increased on-site power capacity, supporting future expansion and development. Discussions are
already under way with a prospective tenant regarding the build-out of the adjacent development
land, which has the potential to deliver significant value creation. The business park currently
generates a net operating income of £2.1 million and has been acquired at an EPRA net initial yield of
5.5%.

Both assets are located in highly desirable areas with strong transport connectivity. Southampton is a
leading commercial and logistics hub on the South Coast, benefitting from excellent road, port, rail,
and air links. Dresden continues to attract significant inward investment, notably the €10 billion
semiconductor facility developed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which is driving
strong tenant demand for Sirius' portfolio in the region. The newly acquired site is expected to
benefit from similar momentum.

Andrew Coombs, Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, commented: "The completion of
these two acquisitions immediately adds €4.5 million of annualised income to Sirius' €2.7 billion
portfolio in Germany and the U.K. More importantly, they provide attractive opportunities to leverage
our platform to grow revenues and unlock new income streams through active asset management,
enhancing yields while capitalising on the assets' strategic locations where we already have an
established presence. Both acquisitions are fully aligned with our strategy of developing a diversified
mix of flexible out-of-town business and industrial space tailored to local market demand, while
supporting Sirius' broader sustainability objectives.

"With nearly €300 million of new investments secured so far this year, we are clearly demonstrating
our ability to source and execute accretive transactions that strengthen our rent roll today and we
expect will in the longer term deliver significant value for investors through development and
repositioning initiatives."

                                                 ENDS

NOTES TO EDITORS

About Sirius Real Estate

Sirius is a property company listed on the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the
London Stock Exchange and the premium segment of the main board of the JSE Limited. It is a leading
owner and operator of branded business and industrial parks providing conventional space and
flexible workspace in Germany and the UK. As of 31 March 2025, the Group's portfolio comprised 145
assets let to 10,477 tenants with a total book value of over €2.7 billion, generating a total annualised
rent roll of €221.4 million. Sirius also holds a 35% stake in Titanium, its €350+ million German-focused
joint venture with clients of AXA IM Alts.

The Company's strategy centres on acquiring business parks at attractive yields and integrating them
into its network of sites - both under the Sirius and BizSpace names and alongside a range of
branded products. The business then seeks to reconfigure and upgrade existing and vacant space to
appeal to the local market via intensive asset management and investment and may then choose to
refinance or dispose of assets selectively once they meet maturity, to release capital for new
investment. This active approach allows the Company to generate attractive returns for
shareholders through growing rental income, improving cost recoveries and capital values, and
enhancing returns through securing efficient financing terms. For more information, please
