Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust Limited
('SREIT'/ the 'Company' / 'Group')
COMPLETION OF £20 MILLION DEBT REPAYMENT
Following the announcement on 21 December 2012, and as planned, Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust Limited has repaid a further £20 million of debt. As a condition of the loan repayment, the Company has broken a pro-rata proportion of its interest rate swaps, crystallising a break cost of £2.8 million and reducing the total negative mark-to-market value of the Company's interest rate swaps as at 15 January 2013 to approximately -£15.8 million.
Repaying the debt reduces the Company's securitised loan from £134.5 million to £114.5 million and reduces the Company's annual loan interest cost by £1.2 million, from to £7.7 million to £6.5 million per annum.
Following this debt repayment and related swap break costs the Company has total cash of approximately £30.7 million, of which approximately £10.1 million remains outside the security pool.
