Completion of Acquisition

JLIF, the FTSE 250 listed investment company, is pleased to announce that, in accordance with the agreement announced on the 5 May 2016, it has completed the acquisition of an additional 13.5% interest in the Barcelona Metro Stations Line 9 Section II project ("Section II") and a 13.5% interest in the Barcelona Metro Stations Line 9 Section IV project ("Section IV"). The interests were acquired from co-shareholder Acsa, Obras e Infraestructuras, S.A.U. ("Acsa"), a member of the Sorigué group.

The aggregate consideration was approximately €62.5 million. Given recent movements in currency exchange rates JLIF has funded the full consideration by drawing in Euros on its multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Andrew Charlesworth from John Laing Capital Management ("JLCM"), Investment Adviser to JLIF, said:

"These high quality assets increase JLIF's geographic diversification and provide it with long-term, low risk, government-backed revenues. We look forward to working in partnership with all stakeholders in the projects to ensure their continued success."
