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

                    Appointment of Ian Watson to the Sirius Real Estate Board

Sirius Real Estate, the leading operator of branded business and industrial parks providing
conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany and the UK, is pleased to announce that Ian
Watson will join the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") as an Independent Non-Executive
Director and a member of the Nomination Committee, with immediate effect.

Ian Watson is one of the best known and most successful investors in the European industrial property
market. His appointment strengthens the Board, adding over 30 years of highly relevant expertise in
the sector in both European and UK markets, as well as extensive capital markets and transactional
experience.

Ian co-founded Ashtenne Holdings with Morgan Jones in 1989 to invest in UK regional multi-let
industrial property. They floated the business in 1997 on the main market of the London Stock
Exchange ("LSE") and over the next eight years as joint Chief Executives built up a portfolio worth
around £750 million before selling it to Warner Estates and Anglo Irish Bank in 2005.

The two of them subsequently co-founded and floated Hansteen Holdings on the AIM market in 2005
to apply Ashtenne's model in Continental Europe, particularly in Germany and the Netherlands. In
2009, Hansteen moved back into the UK industrial market and listed on the main market of the LSE
the same year. As joint Chief Executives, Ian and Morgan subsequently built Hansteen's portfolio of
industrial property to around €2 billion, before exiting the German and Netherlands assets for €1.28
billion in 2017 and selling the then primarily UK-focused listed business in 2020 for £500 million.

Ian holds an MA in Law (Jurisprudence) from Oxford University and practised as a solicitor with
Gouldens (now Jones Day). He joined Arlington Securities plc in 1986 before he left to form Ashtenne.

Commenting on his appointment to the Sirius Board, Ian Watson said: "Sirius is a business which I
have long admired and is one of the most dynamic property companies operating in the industrial and
business parks space. The Company has an enviable track record of consistently delivering shareholder
value through its highly effective platform and has strong ambitions to continue to grow. I am
therefore delighted to be joining the Board and working with my new colleagues to help them achieve
that goal."

Commenting on the Board appointment, Daniel Kitchen, Chair of Sirius Real Estate, said: "I would
like to welcome Ian as a Non-Executive Director and am very much looking forward to working with
him. Sirius will benefit from his wealth of experience in industrial real estate across the geographies
in which we operate, as well as over 30 years' experience of building and managing two very successful
public companies in this sector. His insights will be invaluable as we continue to execute our strategy
to grow our portfolios both in Germany and the UK."

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. 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 30 September 2025, the Company's portfolio comprised 153
assets let to 10,958 tenants with a total book value of €2.8 billion, generating a total rent roll of €242.5
million. Sirius also holds a 35% stake in Titanium, its €350+ million German-focused joint venture with
clients of BNP Paribas AM 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.
