The Board of LXi REIT plc (ticker: LXI) has declared an interim dividend in respect of the period from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2017 of 1.0 pence per ordinary share, payable on 29 March 2018 to shareholders on the register at 2 March 2018. The ex-dividend date will be 1 March 2018.

0.9 pence of this dividend will be paid as a Property Income Distribution ("PID") and 0.1 pence will be paid as an ordinary UK dividend ("non-PID"). PID dividends are paid out of tax-exempt property rental income. Dividends paid from licence fee income that the Company receives from developers during the construction period on forward funding projects are treated as non-PID dividends.

Shareholders entitled to elect to receive PID distributions without deduction for withholding tax should complete the declaration form which is available in the Investors section of the Company's website, www.lxireit.com and returned to the Company's registrar, Link Asset Services, at The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU.

Increase in Dividend Targets

The Board of LXi REIT plc (ticker: LXI) is pleased to announce that the Company has increased its dividend targets as follows:

· for the period from IPO to 31 March 2018, the target total dividend has been increased by 33.3% to 4.0 pence per share*, up from a minimum of 3.0 pence per share

· for the period from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019, the target annual dividend has been increased by 10% to 5.5 pence per share*, up from a minimum of 5.0 pence per share

This increase follows the full deployment by the Company of its equity and debt capital at an average net initial property yield of 6.03%. This net initial property yield is higher than the original target level and is 313 basis points above the Company's average cost of debt of 2.90% per annum, which is fully fixed until July 2029.

The attractive average acquisition yield reflects, inter alia, the discount achieved on forward funding pre-let developments in smaller lot sizes, the off-market nature of the vast majority of the Company's investments and our multi-sector approach which enables the Company to selectively acquire attractively-priced assets across a wide range of sectors.

Since its IPO in February 2017, the Company has carefully assembled a £273 million portfolio of secure, long-dated and inflation-linked UK property assets, through both forward funding pre-let developments and built asset acquisitions. The portfolio is highly diversified across 25 strong tenants and nine property sectors and benefits from a long weighted average unexpired lease term to first break of 24 years.

97% of the Company's rental income is index-linked to inflation or benefits from fixed rental uplifts and the target dividend is expected to grow further over time broadly in line with UK inflation.*

The Company pays a quarterly dividend, with payments having commenced in December 2017. The Company is targeting a net total shareholder return of a minimum of 8 per cent. plus per annum over the medium term.*

Stephen Hubbard, Chairman of LXi REIT plc, commented

"Following our IPO in February 2017, we have carefully assembled a high quality portfolio of secure, long-let and inflation-linked assets, highly diversified by sector, tenant and geography, whilst maintaining capital discipline.

Our disciplined and value-led approach is driving attractive long term and secure income and capital returns for our shareholders, ahead of original expectations, and we are well placed to deliver further value for the long term."
