Hansteen acquires £2.5 million of AIF units

Hansteen (LSE: HSTN), the UK and Continental European property investment company, announces that it has acquired a further 5.5 million units in the Ashtenne Industrial Fund ("AIF") from clients of CBRE Investors for £2.5 million cash, reflecting a price per unit of 46.06 pence. This acquisition represents 0.9% of the units in issue and increases Hansteen's holding in AIF to 82.8%.

AIF owns some 12.0 million sq ft of multi-let industrial properties in the UK. At 30 June 2015, the portfolio consisted of 2,935 units at 237 individual estates, with an annual rent roll of £36.2 million and vacancy of 13.5%. The gross asset value of the properties was £439.3 million.

Derek Heathwood, Director (UK) of Hansteen, commented: "This additional unit purchase in AIF was a good opportunity to further increase our holding in the Fund and take our ownership to 82.8%. The price paid per unit approximates to current Net Asset Value less an accrual for Hansteen's performance fee."
