4. Understanding Option Agreements

• A legally binding agreement between the freehold owner of land and a developer

• This agreement allows the developer to purchase all/or part of the land in the future upon a trigger event, normally the grant of a planning consent

• The developer, having committed considerable time and money on securing planning consent, is able to purchase the land, net of costs incurred during the process (e.g. planning consent/ infrastructure investment)

• The developer is rewarded for the risk taken through a 15-20% discount to Open Market Value (OMV)

• The developer’s experience, skill, capital and track record delivers increased land/share value (net of deductions above) for the landowner at no cost/risk

• Delivers increased certainty as to the mechanism/calculation that will be employed to generate a purchase price and the timescale within which that should happen

• The benefits of securing land under option agreements:

- Optimises the pre-planning capital commitment

- Secures land acquisition at a 15-20% discount to OMV enhancing the Risk Adjusted Return

- Acquisition price based on OMV protects against market and cost movement

- Phased drawdown limits capital commitment to delivery programme

- Minimises exposure to variable development costs e.g. s106 payments, site servicing costs which are typically a landlords costs deducted from the payment to the land owner

A strategic approach to securing land

Page 9: Asset Tour - tritaxbigbox.co.uk · Welcome •BBOX existing high-quality fundamentals •Acquisition of db symmetry •Re-brand •8-10 year business plan •UK’s largest logistics

5. The Planning / Development Process

• Vigorous and highly analytical site selection process

• Land secured by way of ‘option’ allowing land to be drawn down over time, once planning consent is secured

• Strategic promotion of sites for logistics use to key local stakeholders

• Leveraging track record with Local Authorities

• Value creation through successful allocation of sites to logistics use

• Price paid is discount to OMV 15-20% typical

• Land can be sold for a profit if advantageous, following planning consent

• Continual evaluation and questioning of site servicing solutions and utility provision to ensure site infrastructure is instigated in the most commercially efficient manner

• Development plots drawn down either speculatively or following pre-let/pre-sale

• Focused on value, deliverability and location

• Extensive occupier relationships through BTS and letting experience and the existing Tritax Big Box tenant roster

• Established advisor relationships to yield occupiers pre-lets

• Speculative development of buildings in locations where the supply/demand dynamics are favourable.

• Deliver high quality buildings for customers

• Established contractor capabilities/construction process

• Innovative approach to design, construction and sustainability

• Development style return realised on completion/exit

• Recognisable high-quality, sustainable branded buildings

6. Our Responsible Approach

• All new buildings constructed to a minimum of BREEAM 'Very Good’

• Our objective is to lower the carbon footprint associated with new

buildings with the ultimate target of ‘zero carbon’ buildings

• The detailed work we have carried out over the last few months

demonstrates that UKGBC is at the forefront of an industry wide

aspiration to achieve zero carbon buildings within the built

environment and they are working closely with occupiers, developers,

consultants and other stakeholders to define and coordinate a

procedural and measurable approach to that aspiration

• It is also clear that the detail as to how the industry is to move

towards delivery of zero carbon buildings is in a fluid state - principles

are understood but we need industry recognised benchmarking with

robust procedures supported by central and local government

through regulatory control

• Central Government stated in June this year that they intend to

enshrine low carbon buildings in to law and planning policy and/or

Building Regulation are the two anticipated regulatory routes

• Fully recognise our responsibilities to the communities and

environment we’re developing in - seek to support education,

training and local charities

• All projects have a ‘Community Benefit Fund’ to be used by the

local community for locally chosen initiative

• Upon first occupation of each building on newly consented sites,

a payment of 10p per sq ft is made into the fund. On a typical

development of 1.5m sq ft would result in a total fund of £150,000

7. Case Study: Bicester

• Land promoted through Cherwell Local Plan process during 2014 and confirmed in the adopted Local Plan in July 2015

• Having identified an adjoining area of land that should logically also come forward for development and by utilising our relationships with the local farming community we secured a meeting with the owner of the 40.47 acre site

• After many meetings the land was secured under an option agreement from the Reid family

• This parcel was included in the wider land promotion that was subsequently allocated

• Following grant of detailed consent for the first phase of 198,000 sq ft in two buildings in 2016 and outline consent over the remainder the land was drawn down

• One of the units was pre-sold to Bentley Designs, and the second unit was speculatively developed

• Both Buildings completed in December 2017 and the speculative unit was then sold to Medline within 1 month of completion

• The balance of site benefits from outline consent for 477,000 sq ft

Page 12: Asset Tour - tritaxbigbox.co.uk · Welcome •BBOX existing high-quality fundamentals •Acquisition of db symmetry •Re-brand •8-10 year business plan •UK’s largest logistics

7. Case Study: Bicester

• Detailed consent achieved in May 2019 for 163,000 sq ft (Unit B) which completed in May 2019, and is currently in legals to a major Plc (an existing tenant of Tritax Big Box) on a new 20-year lease (expected development yield in excess of 7%)

• Detailed application for a further 2 units on the balance totalling 264,000 sq ft will be submitted shortly

• Phase 2 extends to 29 acres is held under two 10 year option agreements and can accommodate a further c. 470,000 sq ft.

• Discussion ongoing with Cherwell District Council regarding consenting further development on the Phase 2 land

• Discussions are well advanced with a leading Parcel Delivery business, who are already a Bicester occupier, about leasing a new facility on the Phase 2 land, including a meeting which they will attend with us with Cherwell District Council

10. The first six months of 2019: Savills UK Logistics Review/CBRE

• UK take-up for the half year has reached 16.07m sq ft, 28% up on the long term average for the first half of a year

• The second quarter in isolation was outstanding with 9.55m sq ft transacted, making it the highest level of Q2 take-up since 2014 and the second best Q2 on record

• Take-up is not dominated by one occupier or indeed one sector. This demonstrates that demand is coming from a wide mix of tenants all reacting to wider economic and structural factors to get their supply chains in good order

• This pattern is expected to continue for the rest of 2019 and anticipate final year end take-up to breach the 30m sq ft mark.

• Deal count is also strong with 71 transactions recorded up from 59 in the corresponding period for last year

• During H1 2019, two speculatively developed buildings of between 520,000 sq ft and 550,000 sq ft were completed and construction commenced or continued on three further buildings, each between 520,000 sq ft and 540,000 sq ft in size (one of which is not expected to be completed by the year end). In aggregate, these represent 2.3 months’ supply of the 13.9m sq ft of Big Box space taken up last year according to research from CBRE
