Disposal of care home loan portfolio
The Company is pleased to announce that it has exchanged contracts for the sale of a portfolio of three senior loans secured against operational care home projects in the UK at a value that is in line with the value of such loans incorporated into the most recently published net asset value of the Company (the "Disposal"). The total proceeds expected to be received by the Company from completion of the Disposal is at least £41.4 million. Completion is subject only to the effluxion of a 10-business day funding window and therefore the proceeds of the Disposal are expected to be received mid-June.

In accordance with the Company's investment policy to progress a managed realisation of the Company's loan portfolio and return capital to shareholders, the Company intends to announce a fourth compulsory redemption alongside the publication of the 30 June 2026 net asset value.
