WYNNSTAY PROPERTIES PLC

("Wynnstay" or the "Company")

Acquisition

23 September 2019

Wynnstay is pleased to announce that it has today exchanged contracts for the acquisition from Threadneedle UK Property Authorised Investment Fund (the "Vendor") of an industrial property known as 34 Lake Road, Quarry Wood, Aylesford, Kent ("the Property") for a consideration of £1.84 million. The Property adjoins Wynnstay's existing 18-unit industrial estate holding and was constructed at a similar time and to a similar specification.

The Property has been operated as a single, secure industrial unit, with an extensive yard, for many years by the longstanding tenant, Loomis UK Limited. The current lease runs until 24 December 2023 and the passing rent is £76,000 per annum subject to an outstanding upward only rent review effective from 25 December 2018 (the "Effective Date"). Under the terms agreed with the Vendor, Wynnstay will retain the benefit of any increased rent following settlement of the rent review from the Effective Date.

The total acquisition cost of approximately £1.95 million, which includes stamp duty and other acquisition costs, will be funded from the Company's existing cash resources and debt facilities. This acquisition constitutes a Substantial Transaction under the AIM Rules.

Commenting on the transaction Philip Collins, Chairman of Wynnstay, said:

 "We have been interested for some time in acquiring this property adjacent to our excellent investment at Quarry Wood Industrial Estate. As with our acquisition of last year in Petersfield, it makes good commercial sense to acquire adjoining assets where we have an existing significant and well-established presence and can see continuing growth and/or development opportunities."
