REGIONAL REIT Ltd.

("Regional REIT", the "Group" or the "Company")

Lettings Update

 

Regional REIT (LSE: RGL), the regional property specialist, is pleased to
announce that it has secured seven new lettings and eight lease renewals
across its portfolio since the trading update on 15 May 2025. The fifteen
transactions deliver a total annual rental income of over £1.6m and represent
a 6.32% increase above estimated rental values, demonstrating the impact of
the Group's active asset management strategy.

 

Stephen Inglis, Head of ESR Europe LSPIM Ltd., Asset Manager commented:

"This letting activity underscores the effectiveness of our capital
expenditure strategy, securing rents above ERV. The lease renewals also
announced today reflect the quality of our existing properties and strong
relationships with our occupiers.

 

As demand continues to grow for sustainable, well-located and high-quality
regional office space, and given the diminishing supply, Regional REIT is
well-positioned to harness this momentum and deliver lasting value for
shareholders, including the distribution of our attractive and fully covered
dividend."
