Property Sales and Debt Repayment Update

The Company announces that at a series of public auctions held on the 21^st and 22^nd of October, the Company has exchanged on the sale of a further 152 properties (the "Sale Properties"). Gross proceeds for the sales were £26.8m, representing 11.0% of the Company's portfolio by value (based on JLL's February 2024 draft valuation).

The Board is pleased to announce that following the October auctions, sufficient proceeds to fully repay the outstanding Scottish Widows loan will be realised upon completion of the outstanding sale properties.
