("GCP" or "the Company")

Investment totalling c. £5.20 million

GCP, the UK's only listed fund focused primarily on investments in UK infrastructure debt, is pleased to announce that on 13 September 2013 the Master Fund completed a transaction subscribing for a loan note with a term of c.14 years and an aggregate value of c. £5.2 million (the Note).

The Note has been issued by GCP Asset Finance 1 Limited, a single purpose company, which has used the proceeds to acquire, under a receivables sale agreement, a senior secured interest in a series of hire payments. The hire payments are to be made by a maintained school in England in relation to a recently-completed sixth form teaching facility. The obligations of the school in this regard are supported by the statutory obligations of the relevant local education authority under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.

The acquisition of the Note has been financed fully from available cash reserves.
