Withdrawal of Requisition

The Board of Urban Logistics REIT plc ("Urban Logistics" or the "Company")
welcomes the announcement this morning by Achilles Investment Company Limited
withdrawing its requisition for a general meeting following the announcement
by the Company yesterday in connection with the possible offer from
LondonMetric Property plc ("LondonMetric").

As announced on 14 April 2025, the Board of Urban Logistics and its advisers
have entered into discussions with LondonMetric in relation to a possible
recommended offer for the Company and confirmatory due diligence is underway.
There can be no certainty that any offer for Urban Logistics will be made. A
further announcement will be made in due course. In the meantime, Urban
Logistics shareholders are advised to take no action.

In accordance with Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, LondonMetric must by no later than

an offer for Urban Logistics in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or
announce that it does not intend to make an offer for Urban Logistics, in
which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8
of the Code applies. This deadline can only be extended with the consent of
the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") in accordance with Rule
