The REIT continues to target consistent returns of approximately 7 per cent for investors. The strategic capital raised through the FPO will be used to enhance the REIT's portfolio by acquiring additional income-generating assets in resilient sectors such as healthcare, education, and mission-critical industrials, further enhancing the REIT's growth and diversification.

These investors may subscribe to approximately 39 per cent or more of their current holdings to maintain their ownership share and avoid dilution. A secondary allocation of unsubscribed units will include a Minimum Guaranteed Allocation (MGA) of up to 2,000 units per eligible new subscriber, subject to request and availability.

The new units are expected to be allocated between 1-8 August 2025, with trading of the same units anticipated to commence on the Dubai Financial Market approximately between (DFM) 8-15 August 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.
