RDI, the income focused UK Real Estate Investment Trust (“UK-REIT”), announces in accordance with Article

Contingent share awards have been granted to the executive Directors or other Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibility (“PDMR”) under the RDI Long Term Performance Share Plan which was approved by shareholders
in November 2013 and forms part of the Company’s Remuneration Policy, which was approved by shareholders
at the Annual General Meeting held on 23 January 2020 (the "PSP").

Each of the following executive Directors or PDMR has, on 1 December 2020, been granted contingent share
awards under the terms of the PSP over the number of ordinary shares in RDI set out below:

Director/PDMR                      Number of shares            Total number of shares held as

Subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of performance targets as set out in the Company’s Annual
Report, the awards will vest three years from date of grant, and thereafter will be subject to an additional two year
holding period. All vested shares must be retained, net of tax, until the executive Director or PDMR has
accumulated a shareholding in the Company equivalent to two times base salary as part of the minimum
shareholding requirements.

The figures above reflect the maximum number of ordinary shares which could vest. The actual number which will
vest will depend on the extent to which the performance targets are satisfied over the performance period. No
consideration was paid for any of the awards and no consideration is due on vesting.

incentive plan, which forms part of the Company’s Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders at the Annual
General Meeting held on 23 January 2020 ("STIP").
