The acquisitions, which had been identified in advance of the Group’s recent £80 million equity placing, will mean the rapid deployment of the majority of shareholders’ funds, reducing the potential for cash drag.
Details of the individual transactions are as follows:
- Completed the acquisition of a portfolio of five care homes, totalling 362 bedrooms, in Yorkshire to be let to an existing tenant of the Group;
- Exchanged contracts to acquire a further two care homes in Yorkshire to be let to an existing tenant. This transaction will complete once the second home has received CQC registration, which is expected before the year end;
- Completed the acquisition of the freehold of 31 retirement living apartments in Gloucestershire, managed by an existing Group tenant; and
- Completed the acquisition of an operational care home in Dorset which adds a new operator to the Group.
The acquisition yield on the care home transactions is representative of assets of a similar standard and location within the Group’s portfolio, and all have the benefit of long-term occupational leases with RPI-linked cap and collars.
