Supermarket Income REIT (LSE: SUPR), the real estate investment trust providing secure, inflation-protected, long income from grocery property in the UK, announces the acquisition of a Tesco supermarket in Bracknell from a client of CBRE Global Investors for £39.5 million (excluding acquisition costs), reflecting a net initial yield of 5.7%.

Developed in the early 1990's, Tesco has a long history of trading from this prominent 7.3-acre site which comprises a purpose-built food store and a 400-space surface car park. The store has several purpose-built online distribution docks, supporting Tesco's online grocery business across the region. The asset is being acquired with an unexpired lease term of 10 years with annual, upward only, RPI-linked rent reviews (subject to a 4% cap and 0% floor). The acquisition will be financed via a £40 million increase of the £100 million RCF facility provided by HSBC. The increase will be priced at a 1.75% margin over 3-month Libor.

The Company has also published an updated Key Information Document ("KID") in accordance with the requirements of the Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products ("PRIIPs") Regulation.

The KID provides key information about the Company as an investment product. It is not marketing material. The KID contains information about the Company in a prescribed format and should be considered alongside the Company's statutory filings, such as the Annual Report, which can also be found on the website.
