The joint venture has paid £39.5m for the fully let building, reflecting an initial net yield of 8.5%, and has been acquired as a medium term investment from the Royal London Mutual Insurance Society. The building is let to five tenants including Standard Chartered Bank, Coutts & Co and Marubeni Europe Plc on leases expiring in 2009. Bank of Scotland Corporate Banking has provided term debt of £30m in support of this acquisition. The building is located directly in front of London Bridge Station and, following its acquisition by CLS and SPG, could provide a greater capacity for regeneration of the London Bridge area beyond that currently envisaged by Renzo Piano's 'Shard of Glass' proposed redevelopment of Southwark Tower. -ends- For further information, please contact: Sten Mortstedt, Executive Chairman Tom Thomson, Vice Chairman & Acting Chief Executive Kevin Chapman, UK Property Director CLS Holdings plc www.clsholdings.com Tel. +44 (0)20 7582 7766 Baron Phillips, Baron Phillips Associates Tel: + 44 (0)20 7920 3150 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
