Social infrastructure investments of £13.5 million

The Company, which invests in asset backed loans, is pleased to announce three new investments. Firstly, an investment of a £10.8 million loan secured on a senior basis against two supported living developments and a high complex care facility.  The loan note will be issued in tranches and the term of the loan will be no less than 21 years.

The loan is subject to upward-only principal indexation in line with various inflation measures and secured against both the units and the leases thereon.  The leases are with housing associations in England regulated by the Homes and Community Agency and are fully repairing and insuring.

Secondly, the Company has made an investment of £2.7m in a 4 year loan secured on a senior basis against a multi-use social infrastructure development in London, which will be drawn immediately.
