On 15 April 2019, participants in the Hansteen Performance Share Plan 2012 ("PSP"), exercised their PSP nil cost options (i.e. no exercise price is payable when the options are exercised) pursuant to the Rules of the PSP. The options became exercisable between 16 March 2019 and 15 April 2019 and were subject to achievement of the following performance conditions measured over a three year performance period:

· 50% of the award vests by reference to the Company's EPRA Net Asset Value per share growth from investing in the Company over the performance period ranking relative to the same Comparator Group.
No consideration is due on these options upon exercise.
In total the participants, including three PDMRs, being directors of the Company listed below, exercised their options over 1,443,093 shares (the "PSP Awards") which will be satisfied by the transfer of shares from the Hansteen Employee Benefit Trust (the "Trust").

On 15 April 2019 the Trust acquired 529,660 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company at an average price of 94.4p per share.
