REGULATORY DISCLOSURES (TAX STRATEGY)
Tax Governance and Risk Management
The Group’s objectives in managing and controlling its tax affairs and related tax risks are to ensure compliance with all applicable rules, legislation and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates, paying the correct amount of tax as it falls due.
Day to day management of the Group’s tax risk management and tax compliance obligations is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer with the support of the Finance Director and Tax Director.
External advice is sought from leading tax advisors for complex or specialised tax areas or where legislative changes are expected to impact the Group’s tax position.
The overall governance and responsibility for the Group’s tax affairs rests with the Group’s Board of Directors.
Tax policies and risks are assessed for each new transaction and are reviewed regularly for changes in legislation.
We have a tax control framework in place to manage our tax risks. The controls are monitored frequently to ensure they are operating effectively.
Attitude to Tax Planning
Tax as a business expense is managed like any other cost and the Group utilises legitimate tax incentives or opportunities for obtaining tax efficiencies. The Group only undertakes tax planning which is aligned with a genuine commercial rationale and within the tax laws of the relevant country.
Tax Risk Appetite
Significant tax risks, implications arising from these risks and potential mitigating actions are considered by the Board when strategic decisions are taken – the tax risks of proposed transactions or new areas of business are fully considered before proceeding.
We have a low appetite for tax risk which can be defined as not undertaking any transactions involving taxes that are not fully supported by commercial activities.
Working with HMRC
The Group maintains a co-operative and pro-active relationship with HMRC, and the tax authorities of other relevant jurisdictions, to encourage an open relationship and reduce our risk profile.
Where any tax law is unclear or subject to interpretation, we will engage with external tax advisers to ensure we remain compliant with the relevant tax laws and to share our view with the tax authorities as applicable. This tax strategy relates to the accounting year ended 31 December 2025 and has been prepared in accordance with Schedule 19, paragraphs 16 and 17 of the Finance Act 2016. (December 2025)
MODERN SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT
Statement under Section 54(1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 (“MSA”) for London and Regional Group Property Holdings Ltd and their affiliated entities (together the “L+R Investment Group” or the ”Group”)
The L+R Investment Group recognises the importance of respecting human rights as embodied in the International Bill of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We recognise that modern slavery and human trafficking are grave forms of human rights abuse and we will never knowingly trade with companies that have been shown to employ or utilise slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, child labour or who are complicit in human trafficking activities. We are committed to preventing fall kinds of slavery across all business dealings and transactions in which we are involved, regardless of location, and throughout our supply chain. We always strive to work to the highest professional standards and comply with all laws, regulations and rules relevant to our businesses.

Our Structure
The leadership team of the Group are hands-on operators who understand the markets we invest in because we own and manage assets ourselves. This owner-operator perspective informs every decision we make and helps us maintain a framework that ensures accountability along with an appropriate culture that actively supports and respects human rights.
Training
We recognise that preventing modern slavery and human trafficking requires constant commitment and vigilance and we work to raise awareness of trafficking and modern slavery, which is key to identifying and helping to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.
Employee inductions on joining the Group include an outline of our expectations for ethical business practices including how to conduct relationships with suppliers and clients. Through internal communications and in person and virtual events, all employees are made aware of the Group’s policies and procedures, including those on health and safety, anti-bullying and harassment, whistleblowing, anti-bribery and corruption and preventing slavery and human trafficking.
Through these activities there is an increased awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking with employees and contractors equipped to identify, and report suspected instances of modern slavery and human trafficking. Employees are encouraged to discuss the importance of ensuring fair and safe working practices and to report possible signs of modern slavery and trafficking through our whistleblowing channel as set out in the Group Whistleblowing Policy.
Policies
We are a responsible employer, and we are committed to treating our employees with fairness, dignity, and respect. We have policies and procedures in place across the Group, developed to ensure high standards of conduct and ethical behaviour and to protect our employees and their labour rights, including policies around equal opportunities, working hours and pay. Compliance with these policies is monitored by Senior Management, and is reviewed on an annual basis with ad-hoc updates made when there are changes in employment law.
We engage with our employees on a regular basis to help create a safe and diverse work environment where people are comfortable to be themselves. The Group has over 500 employees who fulfil a variety of real estate related roles across client/guest facing areas, as well as commercial, marketing, operational, development, ESG, procurement, risk and compliance. Formal policies, procedure and approval structures are in place for recruitment with our recruitment and employment policies designed to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group is not exposed to the fraudulent recruitment of employees or the exploitation of workers in any of the assets in our portfolio.
Our Supply Chain
We partner with reputable suppliers through our supply chain to help deliver our business objectives including those involved facilities management, the provision of security, cleaning and waste management services as well as the contractors working on refurbishments that we rely on to purchase materials often through their supply chains. We engage with all our suppliers on a regular basis, holding meetings, as required, to build and maintain relationships. Our belief is that this approach increases transparency within our supply chains. We aim to use market-leading suppliers across our product groups and regions, while offering local supply options. We have a clear policy for approving suppliers prior to work being commissioned. Our supplier due diligence processes help to identify and address potential risks of modern slavery. We screen our established strategic suppliers to ensure we are only engaging with suppliers who comply with anti-slavery laws and that do not engage in any slavery or human trafficking practices Where cases, or allegations, of forced labour are identified within our supply chain, we investigate any concern thoroughly. There have been no such cases or allegations for the year to 31 December 2025 (“FY25”).
Risk Assessment & Due Diligence Procedures
We have undertaken a review of modern slavery risks across the Group to identify any significant risks that may have been overlooked. We recognise the potential high risk of modern slavery in the industry in which we operate and within our supply chain relating to support services such as cleaning and maintenance amongst others. No ‘red flags’ associated with modern slavery have been identified.
We continue to assess, regularly monitor and mitigate risks relating to slavery and human trafficking on a Group wide basis, with individual operating companies taking specific actions where appropriate to the level of risk and taking actionable steps to prevent the use of any of the assets we own and/or control for human trafficking and slavery, and to raising awareness concerning such exploitation wherever we do business.
Right to work, age and identity checks are undertaken, and contracts allow such workers to cease employment at will, subject to contractual notices being served.
Looking Ahead
We will continue to build upon our existing efforts to support and uphold human rights throughout our business and increase transparency in our operations and supply chain so that we can respond effectively to new risks as they are identified.
We intend to take the following steps aimed at mitigating modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking risks in our operations:
• Develop a formal group Supplier Code of Conduct which will set out the principles that we expect all our suppliers to work to.
• Continue to embed human rights in our policies, governance practices and contracts;
• Undertake an assessment and review of Group policies.
• Continue to drive and monitor completion of our trainings on responsible labour and preventing human trafficking.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes the slavery and human trafficking statement for the L+R Investment group and those joint ventures and funds managed by us, for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. It was approved by the executive board of L + R Investment Group on 01 July 2026.
