Assura plc

Capital markets event

Assura plc ("Assura"), the leading primary care property investor and developer, is today hosting a capital markets presentation and site tour for analysts and institutional investors.

Assura has identified several areas of emerging opportunities (NHS Trusts, private providers, mental health and Ireland) that are now becoming meaningful contributors to our portfolio, rental income and cash flow.

Members of the senior management team will present an update on our strategic approach to these emerging opportunities, outlining why we are targeting these areas alongside our existing GP medical centres and how our skills and capabilities mean we are well placed to become a market leader.

Specifically focused on the private market, the presentation will detail:

· The state of the UK healthcare market and resultant increasing demand for high-quality, sustainable healthcare buildings in a community setting

· Overview of trends and market opportunity in the private market segment

· Assura's capabilities in capturing this opportunity; to complement its existing GP centre portfolio

· An overview of recent private market development completions

· Recent investments and asset enhancements within the mental health segment will also be highlighted

There will be a subsequent site tour to showcase Assura's recently completed, state-of-the-art cancer care facility in Guildford.

Jonathan Murphy, CEO of Assura, said: "There is significant demand for high-quality, sustainable healthcare buildings in a community setting to alleviate the considerable and growing pressures facing the NHS whilst improving the significantly underinvested existing estate. Each of these emerging areas is closely aligned with Assura's existing portfolio to relieve pressure on the health system; has attractive investment characteristics with a strong underlying tenant covenant and offers opportunities for future growth, which Assura is well placed to capture."

No new material trading information will be disclosed. A copy of the presentation is available on the Assura plc website at: https://www.assuraplc.com/investor-relations/reports-and-presentations
