Borrowing update

 

 

Regional REIT, the UK regional office and industrial property focused real estate investment trust, today announces it has agreed a new £36m secured 10-year facility ("The New Facility") with Scottish Widows Limited, arranged by Bank of Scotland's Real Estate and Housing team.

£13m of the proceeds from The New Facility will be used to repay the outstanding balance of the 5% ICG Longbow Limited facility, which was due to mature August 2019, with the remainder being used for acquisitions and capital expenditure.

The New Facility has a very competitive fixed rate, which will be set on the date of the drawdown and is anticipated to be 3.45-3.6%.

In addition to the above repayment, it has been agreed to extend the Royal Bank of Scotland £34.3m facility for 1 year to December 2021.

As a result of the above activity, the Group's cost of borrowing, including hedging, will be c.3.8%, with an unexpired debt term extended to 6.5 years, and following the proposed repayment of the Zero Dividend Preference Shares in January 2019 will be c.3.5% and 7.2 years respectively.

Stephen Inglis, Chief Executive Officer of London & Scottish Investments Limited, commented: "This refinancing is another example of our disciplined approach to risk management and securing well priced debt for longer terms to minimise the effects of any future interest rate rises. The new facility will enable us to repay current borrowings, execute new opportunities and maintain one of the sector's highest progressive dividends.

"Regional REIT continues to be well supported by its key lenders through its next phase of growth. We are delighted to continue to work with both Scottish Widows and the Royal Bank of Scotland and look forward to strengthening our close working relationship over the coming years."
