("Target" or the "Company")

RESULTS OF PLACING AND SALE FROM TREASURY

Further to the announcement on 16 November 2015, Target Healthcare REIT Limited is pleased to announce the successful completion of a placing of 15,652,803 new Ordinary Shares ("New Ordinary Shares"). Furthermore, in response to excess demand for the New Ordinary Shares, the Company also announces a sale of 14,229,822 Ordinary Shares which were held in treasury (the "Treasury Shares") raising, along with the placing of the New Ordinary Shares, total gross proceeds of approximately £31.1 million.

The New Ordinary Shares and the Treasury Shares have been subscribed for at a price of 104 pence each (the "Issue Price"). The Issue Price represents a discount of 5.67% to the closing share price on 13 November 2015. The number of applications for New Ordinary Shares and Treasury Shares exceeded the available supply, which has led to the scale back of applications.

Applications will be made to the FCA for admission of 15,652,803 New Ordinary Shares to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities (''Admission''). It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that unconditional dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on, or around, 25 November 2015 (the "Admission Date").

In relation to the Treasury Shares, it is expected that trade confirmations will be sent to investors today, with the trades expected to settle on, or around, 25 November 2015.

Following the Admission Date and completion of the Treasury Share sale, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 172,180,851 Ordinary Shares. The Company will no longer hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury.  Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 172,180,851. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
