Proposed Placing to raise up to GBP10.53 million
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
Overview
· NewRiver Retail Limited, the specialist real estate investor and asset
manager, announces that it proposes to raise up to GBP10.53 million, before
expenses, by way of a placing ("Placing") of up to 4,212,200 new ordinary shares
in the capital of the Company ("Placing Shares") at a price per Placing Share of
250 pence ("Placing Price")
· Since IPO in 2009, NewRiver has achieved the key objectives set out in its
Admission Document and deployed the majority of its initial GBP25 million of
capital. The fundraising provides additional capital to accelerate the Company's
business plan in the short term, including investments through the recently
announced joint venture with Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing Fund VII
("MSREI")
· Since IPO, NewRiver has made two acquisitions directly on its own balance
sheet - in Wrexham and Market Deeping, with net initial yields of 9.65 per cent
and 6.98 per cent respectively - for a total consideration of GBP10.75 million
· NewRiver has also acquired, on a 50 - 50 basis, a portfolio of eight retail
assets situated across the UK in the MSREI joint venture. Contracts on an
additional property that forms part of the same portfolio have been exchanged.
The purchase price for all nine assets was approximately GBP49 million with a
net initial yield of circa 9.00 per cent
Placing and EGM
The Placing is subject to shareholders approving certain Resolutions at the
Extraordinary General Meeting, which will be convened for 11.00 a.m. on 4 May
2010, at which shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit,
approve the Resolutions required, amongst other things, to dis-apply the
pre-emption rights contained in the articles of incorporation of the Company and
to implement the Placing. The Placing Shares will be issued credited as fully
paid and will rank on Admission pari passu in all respects with the existing
Ordinary Shares.
Four Directors of the Company, David Lockhart, Paul Roy, Peter Tom and Serena

of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange and to the Daily Official
List of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange, LBG for the Placing Shares to be
admitted to trading on AIM and CISX. It is expected that Admission will become
effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00
a.m. on 5 May 2010.
