Revolving Credit Facility and Trading Update

Real Estate Investors plc (AIM: RLE), the West Midlands based property group, confirms that it has agreed a £20 million Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”) with Lloyds Banking Group for a term expiring in October 2014.  All other conditions remain similar to those of the previous facility.

Further, the Company is pleased to advise shareholders that contracted rental income as at the end of December 2011 will be in excess of £6 million per annum.  Additionally, the Company has a number of significant lettings under negotiation that will further enhance its rental income for 2012. 

The Company also confirms that it has exchanged contracts to sell an investment property in Chingford (let to Tesco Plc) for the sum of £960,000.  This represents a substantial surplus to the current book value of the property.

Paul Bassi, Chief Executive, commented, “We receive excellent support from our banks and we remain well positioned to capitalise on further market opportunities.  Despite the negative economic backdrop, our rental income and tenant mix remains secure and stable and we remain optimistic for 2012.”.
