AGM Statement

First Property Group plc (AIM: FPO), the property fund manager and investor with operations in the United Kingdom and Central Europe, will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) today at 12 noon.

At the AGM, the Company's Chairman, Alasdair Locke, will make the following statement:

"I am pleased to report the Company continues to trade well and in accordance with management's expectations.

"Our aggregate funds under management, including those held by the Group, currently stand at £564 million, compared to £477 million at our financial year end on 31 March 2017. Of this, £387 million is managed on behalf of third party clients, an increase of 24% from our financial year end.

"The majority of this increase in assets under management results from £51 million of new investments made on behalf of Fprop Offices LP, which was established on 14 July 2017. That fund has additional equity commitments of £131 million to be invested, which will result in our assets under management increasing further in the coming months.

"I am also pleased to report that Fprop Romanian Supermarkets Ltd, in which the Group has a shareholding interest of 24%, has sold three of the nine Lidl supermarkets it acquired in December 2015 for a total consideration of €5.8 million (£5.3 million). The Group's share of profits resulting from the sale amounted to some £400,000.

"We plan to report interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2017 on Thursday 23 November 2017."
