To achieve the investment objective, the Company originates and invests in real estate debt secured by commercial or residential properties in the United Kingdom and Western Europe. The Company’s aim is to deliver a stable quarterly dividend with minimal volatility, through economic and credit cycles. Investments may take different forms but are mainly in the form of: • Loans: predominantly senior real estate loans • Bonds: listed real estate debt securities such as Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) bonds. The Company generally invests either directly or through SPVs and subsidiaries, on a buy-to-hold basis based on an analysis of the credit worthiness of the underlying assets in the applicable investment. Therefore, the total return from any given investment (if held to maturity) will be determined by actual performance of the underlying real estate loans rather than by market prices (including the payment, and timings of payment, of interest, principle, fees and any other amounts due). However, the Company actively manages the investment portfolio, and may from time to time dispose of an investment prior to its maturity if the Company so decides for reasons including, but not limited to, the price offered being sufficiently attractive, the credit view of the underlying assets changing or superior alternative investments being available. The Company will limit Company-level recourse leverage for investment purposes to 40% of NAV. Bid-Offer - Shares of RECI are bought and sold via markets. Typically, at any given time on any given day, the price you pay for a share will be higher than the price at which you could sell it. There is no committed liquidity by market makers or the PRIIP manufacturer. You may not be able to sell your investment. ► Intended Retail Investor The Company is not specifically intended for retail investors, therefore it is only intended for highly sophisticated/advised/HNW retail investors. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear losses (which may equal the whole amount invested) that may result from such an investment. An investment in the New Ordinary Shares should constitute part of a diversified investment portfolio. Accordingly, typical investors in the Company are expected to be institutional, professional and high net worth investors, private client fund managers and financial intermediaries and other investors who understand the risks involved in investing in the Company and/or who have received advice from their fund manager or financial intermediary regarding investment in the Company. ► Maturity Date The Company was established with an unlimited life but the Articles provide for a continuation resolution to be put to Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held at every fourth annual general meeting thereafter.

This product does not include any protection from future market performance so you could lose some or all of your investment. Investment Performance Information Investment performance will be driven principally by: • the financial performance of the Company’s investments, measured principally as the performances of the portfolio holdings and cash generation that would allow the portfolio holdings to deliver their business plans and service their debt. This performance could be affected by broader geopolitical and macro-economic factors, including economic growth, inflation and monetary policy, among others; • the valuation of the Company’s investments, which is based on their financial performance but also on broader market benchmarks which can fluctuate over time; and • the ability of the Company to continue to make new investments and recycle proceeds from loan maturities to crystallise returns at least in line with the Company’s stated return objectives. This ability is affected by the competitive dynamics in the Real Estate markets, broader market volatility and the availability of bank funding for refinancing, among other factors. Other factors that could impact performance include, but are not limited to, the ability to attract and retain able investment professionals, the evolving legal and regulatory landscape in which RECI operates and foreign exchange fluctuations. What could affect my return positively? Factors that could affect returns positively include RECI’s ability to make good investments and manage its portfolio holdings to deliver sustainable income during the holding period. Good investment performance could be supported further by a positive macro-economic environment and buoyant financial markets. What could affect my return negatively? In addition to the factors above, factors that could affect returns negatively include poor investment decisions by RECI and poor management of its portfolio holdings. Negative outcomes could also be caused or exacerbated by a negative macro-economic outlook, geopolitical instability and/or volatile financial markets. Under severely adverse market conditions, there is a risk that the capital value of an investment in the Company’s shares could reduce significantly, potentially down to zero. WHAT HAPPENS IF RECI IS UNABLE TO PAY OUT? As a shareholder of Real Estate Credit Investments you would not be able to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme about Real Estate Credit Investments in the event that the company is unable to pay out. Neither the Company or the Investment Manager are required to make any payment to you in respect of your investment. If the Company were liquidated you would be entitled to receive a distribution equal to your share of the Company’s assets, after payment of all its creditors. There is no compensation guarantee scheme in place that applies to the Company, and if you invest in the Company, you should be prepared to assume the risk that you could lose all of your investment. WHAT ARE THE COSTS? Following recent commentary from HM Treasury (“HMT”) and the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) (19 September 2024) temporarily exempting investment companies from the Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (“PRIIPS”) regulations, cost disclosures are no longer being provided for these shares. The information provided below has been amended to help consumer understanding, as both HMT and the FCA recognise that there is no additional cost to the investor charged by the company. The company does have operating expenses, for example, arising in relation to the management of the portfolio, which are fully disclosed within the company’s financial statements (Page 78). The company’s financial statements are available on its website: www.realestatecreditinvestments.com The Reduction in Yield (RIY) shows what impact the total costs you pay will have on the investment return you might get. The total costs take into account one-off, ongoing and incidental costs. The amounts shown here are the cumulative costs of the product itself, for three different holding periods.
