GREAT PORTLAND ESTATES plc
7.25% First Mortgage Debenture Stock due 2027
Over the past five years, Great Portland Estates plc has re-focussed its
business on the London market. It has also shifted the emphasis of its funding
from long-dated secured debt to medium-dated unsecured debt, including the
repayment of two of its debenture stocks in full (£100m 9.5% 2016 in 2000, and
£100m 10.75% 2021 in 2002).
As a further step in this process, the company announces that, from now until
close of business on 7 March 2006, it will respond to offers from holders of its
7.25% First Mortgage Debenture Stock due 2027 who wish to sell their stock back
to the company, for cancellation, at a price that gives a spread of 0.375% over
the 6% Treasury Stock 2028 at the time of trade. Stockholders should contact
the company's broker, JPMorgan Cazenove (details below).
