AMENDMENT TO ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS

 

Supermarket Income REIT plc (LSE: SUPR), the real estate investment trust providing secure, inflation-protected, long income from grocery property in the UK, is pleased to announce amendments to the Company's existing Investment Advisory and Accounting and Administration Services Agreement (the "IAA").

Amendment to Investment Advisory Fee

Under the existing agreement, Atrato Capital Limited (the "Investment Adviser") is entitled to both a monthly advisory fee and a semi-annual fee, which operate at the following levels based upon the Net Asset Value of the Company. Pursuant to the revised investment advisory agreement (the "Revised IAA"), an additional fee level of 0.4% on Net Asset Value in excess of £2.0 billion is being introduced. The introduction of this additional tier demonstrates the desire to grow to a multi-billion pound company and aims to ensure that shareholders benefit from economies of scale as the Company grows.

The fee structure with the new additional tier is set out below:

Up to £500m

Initial Term and Termination arrangements

The existing agreement has a fixed initial term of five years, which is due to expire in July 2022 having commenced on 21 July 2017. In the event that written notice to terminate is not served by the Company or the Investment Adviser prior to the end of the initial term, the IAA would continue in force for recurring 12-month periods.

The Revised IAA provides certainty for the Company by securing the services of the Investment Adviser and key members of their team by extending the required notice period to two years. The new Agreement is effective from 1 July 2022 and the Company has waived its right to terminate the existing agreement until this date.

Furthermore, the Company has secured a reduction to the investment advisory fees through the introduction of the additional fee level.

The Revised IAA also increases the minimum notice period for termination of the Accounting and Administration services, from six months to 12 months.

The Investment Adviser is a related party of the Company under Chapter 11 of the FCA's Listing Rules and the amendments to the IAA constitute a smaller related party transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.10.
