21 October 2024

Impact Healthcare REIT plc

("Impact" or the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Change of company name to Care REIT plc and stock market ticker to CRT

 

Further to the Company's announcement on 8 August 2024, the Company name has changed, effective immediately, to Care REIT plc in order to better reflect the real estate we invest in and to align with the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) updated Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR).

 

Further, the Company's stock market ticker will become "CRT". Dealings under the new name and ticker will commence at 8.00 am (GMT) on 22 October 2024. In conjunction, the Company's website has also been refreshed and changed to www.carereit.co.uk.

 

The Company's ISIN, SEDOL and Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) remain unchanged.

 

Shareholders should note that their shareholdings will be unaffected by the change of name. Existing share certificates should be retained as they will remain valid for all purposes and no new share certificates will be issued.

 

The name change follows changes to the FCA's SDR, which restrict companies from using certain sustainable terms and labels, such as "Impact", in investment products which can be bought and sold by retail investors unless strict criteria are adopted.

 

The Company confirms that its investment policy, strategy and objectives remain unchanged and that there will be no change to its business and operations. Through its investments in UK healthcare real estate, the Company remains focused on providing shareholders with attractive and stable returns over the long-term and also remains committed to contributing positively to social outcomes.
