Statement re: Neckermann

In its Interim Management Statement yesterday (26 April 2012), SEGRO announced that a major Continental European customer was seeking to negotiate a significant restructuring of its lease. SEGRO is now able to advise that the customer in question is the Frankfurt-based mail-order company neckermann.de GmbH ('Neckermann').

Neckermann, which is owned by an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc., has this afternoon released a statement stating its intention to secure the future of its business by focusing on its e-commerce offering. As a consequence, Neckermann's property requirements will be significantly reduced.

An important part of this process will be the discussions with employees and suppliers (including SEGRO) that are now underway, particularly as regards the impact of Neckermann's plans to phase out its catalogue and clothing business.

The main SEGRO-owned site occupied by Neckermann is a largely bespoke 291,000 sq m facility whose principal use is order fulfillment of catalogue related demand.

This SEGRO-owned asset, which extends to 309,000 sq m in total, was valued at £86 million at 31 December 2011 and generated approximately £12 million of Neckermann related rental income in 2011.

Rent due by Neckermann has been paid up to the end of April 2012 and SEGRO holds bank guarantees which should cover amounts due for the bulk of the remainder of 2012 in the event of non-payment by Neckermann.

The Neckermann site in Frankfurt is one of the six large non-strategic assets that were highlighted as non-core at SEGRO's investor day in November 2011.

SEGRO will update the market further when appropriate.
