Home REIT plc

("Home REIT" or the "Company")

Surrender of leases

The Company announces that it has reached an agreement with Mansit Housing CIC, a non-performing tenant, for the surrender of its leases on 68 properties (the "Properties") which it rents from Home REIT, equating to c.4% of the Company's portfolio by number of properties as at 31 July 2024.

The majority of the properties are occupied by private rented sector ("PRS") tenants on Assured Shorthold Tenancies ("ASTs"). These ASTs will now transfer to Home REIT, enabling the Company to directly collect the underlying income from these properties, increasing rent collection and facilitating asset management opportunities.

The Company will be appointing Property Managers to the surrendered Properties, who will be responsible for the day-to-day management and rent collection.

The party responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Apex Group.
