Update on legal proceedings

 

Further to the Company's announcement of 23 April 2021 regarding the successful outcome of its legal action against two well-funded national tenants to recover unpaid rent, the Company can report that neither tenant sought the court's permission to appeal the decision of the Master and have now paid all the rent arrears claimed in the proceedings, as well as reaching an agreement on the legal costs incurred. With regards to the outstanding rent arrears that had fallen due for payment since the claims were issued, these amounts have also been paid in full, and as a result the Company has received the full amount of rent arrears of £1,200,566 referred to in the previous announcement on 23 April.
