Q1 2021 rent collection of 98%

The Company has continued to actively engage with all of its tenants and is pleased to report rent collection to date of 96% for the quarter ending March 2021 (Q1 2021).

This figure is calculated on the basis of cash received versus contractual rent due and does not include rent deferrals. Rent collection will increase to 98% following receipt of rent deferrals agreed with tenants.

New increased quarterly dividend guidance

As a result of its robust rent collection, the Board is pleased to report that it has today increased its dividend target to 1.46 pence per share for the quarter ending 31 March 2021*. This dividend is expected to be fully covered by net rental income for the quarter and is a higher level than the pre-Covid quarterly dividend rate.
