RESULT OF PLACING

Further to the announcement on 24 October 2018, the Company is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of £50 million through the issue of 45,871,559 Ordinary Shares ("Placing Shares") by way of a non pre-emptive placing under its existing Placing Programme (together the "Placing").

Investor demand for the Placing Shares exceeded the available supply as initially targeted by the Company. Following the £37 million acquisition of the two developments in Cumnor Hill, Oxford and Badgers Mount, Sevenoaks announced on 7 November 2018 the Company has now fully deployed its remaining uncommitted capital and after careful consideration of the existing acquisition opportunities, the Board has determined to increase the size of the Placing to 45,871,559 Placing Shares at 109 pence per share. Notwithstanding the increased number of Placing Shares made available pursuant to the Placing, investor demand still exceeded this supply and as such a scaling back exercise has been undertaken.

Applications will be made in respect of the 45,871,559 Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on 12 November 2018. When issued, the Placing Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, the Company expects to have 385,089,448 Ordinary Shares in issue. The total number of voting rights of the Company will be 385,089,448 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.

Unless otherwise defined, the terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in the prospectus published by the Company and sent to Shareholders on 1 February 2018 (the "Prospectus"), as amended, copies of which are available on the Company's website at www.targethealthcarereit.co.uk.

 

Malcolm Naish, Chairman of the Company, said: 

"The support shown by both existing and new shareholders in this fundraise has been very pleasing and a clear endorsement of our investment proposition. Throughout this process we have, as ever, remained focused on meticulously securing the right assets with the right quality of facilities, after extensive due diligence, and carefully aligning these purchases with our equity requirements. The £37 million purchase of the Hamberley assets yesterday, as well as further progress on both our near and medium term investment pipeline, gives us confidence that the Company can invest these equity proceeds and available debt, whilst remaining careful and highly selective in terms of the real estate we acquire and partners that we seek to engage with." 

The Company's legal entity identifier is: 2138008VQQ5Y9QXMX749.

Information to Distributors

 

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Placing Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing and the Placing Programme.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own Target Market Assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
