Issue of Debt

Invista Foundation Property Tst Ltd 02 July 2007 2 July 2007 Invista Foundation Property Trust Limited ("IFPT"/ the "Company"/ "Group") IFPT raises a further £111 million of securitised debt IFPT has issued a further £111 million of securitised debt through the use of Reserve Notes. These notes were issued but not sold at the time of the Company's original securitisation in 2005 and are a very efficient form of financing. The £111 million was sold at a margin of 25 basis points which, when combined with hedging, results in a total interest rate cost of 5.71%. The proceeds will be used to re-finance existing non-securitised borrowings totalling £69.08 million with an interest rate cost of 6.5%, and also to fund asset management projects and make selective acquisitions in accordance with the Group's strategy. IFPT now has securitised borrowings of £263.5 million at a total blended cost, including hedging, of 5.58%. Commenting, Duncan Owen, Chief Executive of Invista Real Estate Investment Management Limited, the Company's Investment Manager, said: "The issue of these Reserve Notes at a very low cost of funds is immediately accretive to the Company and at the same time will provide the Company with the financial firepower to invest in key asset management projects that we anticipate will enhance long-term Net Asset Value growth and to make selective acquisitions where we see value."
