Primary Health Properties PLC

("PHP" or the "Company")

Proposed Placing to raise approximately £120 million

PHP today announces its intention to issue new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") to raise in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately £120 million (the "Placing"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Placing (the "Net Proceeds") to fund a mix of future acquisition pipeline and asset management projects.

Highlights

- Proposed Placing to raise approximately £120 million of gross proceeds

- The tragic associated impact of COVID-19 brings the ongoing requirement to cater for NHS surge capacity ever more starkly into focus. The Board believe this, combined with the demands of an ageing and growing population for healthcare, strongly underpins the need for modern, integrated and local primary healthcare facilities to continue to help relieve pressures placed on hospitals and A&E departments.

- Proceeds will be used to fund continued portfolio growth through acquisition and forward funded developments and to finance asset management projects totalling c.£128m

o Short-term estimated pipeline of £92 million of active acquisition and development opportunities across UK and Ireland

o Active management of existing assets to create additional value with estimated capex on projects in FY20 and FY21 of c.£36m

- Proposed Placing helps to maintain an appropriate loan to value % (LTV) in the short-term reducing the 30 June 2020 ratio by around 5.0% from 45.8% to c.41% on a pro-forma basis

- Placing Shares will not rank for the third quarterly interim dividend of 1.475p per share declared on 25 June 2020 and payable on 21 August 2020 to shareholders on the register on 3 July 2020 but will rank for all future dividends declared. The Company intends to make a further interim dividend payment in November 2020 and maintain its strategy of paying a progressive dividend, in equal quarterly instalments, covered by underlying earnings in each financial year

Investors should read this announcement in conjunction with the Company's trading update also released today.

Introduction

The Placing will be conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Bookbuild") which will open immediately following the release of this announcement. Numis Securities Limited ("Numis") and Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") (together, the "Banks") are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing. The Placing will only be made available to invited eligible institutional investors in certain specified jurisdictions. A further announcement confirming the price per share and the number of new Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and final details of the Bookbuild is expected to be made in due course.

Background to and reasons for the Placing

Since the Company's £100m equity fundraising in September 2019, PHP has continued to deliver net asset growth through a combination of acquisitions and the enhancement of existing assets, while reducing PHP's average cost of debt. The Company has deployed funds totalling £103 million across 23 standing investments and 6 forward funded developments and invested a further £4 million across 12 asset management projects since September 2019.

During the current year, the Company has continued to see opportunities for funding new developments, both in Ireland and in the United Kingdom, and has a short-term pipeline of 11 new developments to be forward funded, totalling £92 million, of which £44 million are in Ireland. The Directors believe these transactions to be very attractive for PHP as they typically involve the development of larger medical centres that house bigger GP practices providing a more integrated healthcare offering in line with PHP's stated strategy of focusing on hub primary care centres. The developments also represent a source of supply of more modern buildings, built to high environmental standards and let on long leases, into the PHP portfolio. In addition, the Board has approved funding for extensions and/or improvements at 21 existing sites, involving occupational lease term extensions and rent enhancements, at an anticipated capital cost of £11 million, with a further £25 million of potential projects identified.

As funding the development and acquisition of new medical centres involves committing to make capital available during the length of the development, typically 12-18 months, it is proposed to use equity to finance these investment commitments and accordingly the proceeds of the Placing will be ear-marked to fund the developments identified above. If funded by equity, these developments as they complete will increase the value of unfettered assets in the PHP portfolio and strengthen its balance sheet. The Placing is not conditional upon these developments proceeding and if any of them do not complete then the net proceeds will be retained for use in connection with PHP's acquisition pipeline or for general commercial activities, or a combination thereof.

The Company continues to have a pipeline of further acquisition opportunities for standing let investments which remains significant with the Company currently analysing or negotiating a number of potential transactions. The Company has access to a broad range of financing options, including committed but undrawn debt. In combination, the positive gap between rental yields and financing and management costs remains robust and provides opportunities for PHP to make earnings enhancing and cash generative property investments. Accordingly, the Directors will continue to employ a selective and disciplined approach to acquisitions to support continued portfolio strength through funding selected investment opportunities.

Acquisitions will be supplemented by active management of existing assets, aiming to deliver further income and valuation growth. Capital expenditure of approximately £11 million is expected to be incurred or committed over the course of the next year to generate additional income and secure the extension of unexpired occupational lease terms. By way of comparison, in 2019 17 asset management projects were completed and a further 19 commissioned at a total cost of £13 million, to generate additional rental income of £0.6 million per annum.

Dividend and Loan to value policies

Following the Placing, the Company intends to maintain its strategy of paying a progressive dividend that is covered by earnings in each financial year. In addition, following the Placing, the Company has lowered the upper range for its loan to value ratio from 55% to 50%.

Details of the Placing

The Company intends to issue new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") to raise in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately £120 million.

Numis Securities Limited ("Numis") and Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") (together, the "Banks") will commence a bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuild" or the "Bookbuilding Process"). The book will open with immediate effect. The Banks have entered into an agreement with PHP (the "Placing Agreement") under which, subject to the conditions set out therein, the Banks will agree to use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at a price determined through the Bookbuild and as set out in the Placing Agreement. The Placing is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the appendix to this Announcement (the "Appendix"). Members of the public are not entitled to participate in the Placing.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares. This includes the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares, other than the dividend declared on 25 June 2020 payable on 21 August 2020 to shareholders on the register on 3 July 2020. The price per Placing Share at which the Placing Shares are to be placed (the "Placing Price") will be determined at the close of the Placing. Details of the number of Placing Shares and the Placing Price will be announced as soon as practicable after the closing of the Bookbuild.

Applications will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the main market for listed securities of London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange" and together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place at or around 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 13 July 2020 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Company and the Banks). The Placing is conditional upon, inter alia, Admission becoming effective. The Placing is also conditional upon the Placing Agreement not being terminated in accordance with its terms.

Appendix 2 to this announcement (which forms part of this announcement) sets out the terms and conditions of the Placing. By choosing to participate in the Placing and by making an oral or written offer to acquire Placing Shares, investors will be deemed to have read and understood this announcement in its entirety (including the Appendices) and to be making a legally binding offer on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions in it, and to be providing the representations, warranties and acknowledgements contained in Appendix 2.

1. Details Of The Placing

1.1 Each of the Joint Bookrunners is acting as bookrunner in connection with the Placing and has entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, each of the Joint Bookrunners, as agent for and on behalf of the Company, has severally, and not jointly, or jointly and severally, agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure placees for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

1.2 The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the Articles, be credited as fully paid up and rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of the Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares, other than the dividend declared on 25 June 2020 payable on 21 August 2020 to Shareholders on the Company's register as at or about 3 July 2020, and will on issue be free of all pre-emption rights, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and equities. The Placing is not being underwritten.

1.3 No prospectus or other offering document has been or will be submitted to be approved by the FCA in relation to the Placing and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this announcement (including this appendix).

1.4 As part of the Placing, the Company has agreed that it will not issue or sell any Ordinary Shares for a period of 60 days after Admission (as defined below) without the prior written consent of the Joint Bookrunners. This agreement is subject to certain customary exceptions.

2. Application For Listing And Admission To Trading

2.1 Applications will be made to the FCA for admission of the Placing Shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA (the "Official List") and to London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for admission to trading of the Placing Shares on its main market for listed securities (together, "Admission").

2.2 It is expected that Admission of the Placing Shares will occur at or before 8.00 a.m. BST on 13 July 2020 (or such later time or date as the Joint Bookrunners may agree with the Company, being no later than 8.00 a.m. BST on 23 July 2020 (the "Long Stop Date")) and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.

2.3 Admission is subject to the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

3. Bookbuilding Process

3.1 The Joint Bookrunners will today commence the bookbuilding process in respect of the Placing (the "Bookbuilding Process") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. This appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing.

3.2 The Joint Bookrunners and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuilding Process as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

4. Participation In, And Principal Terms Of, The Placing

4.1 The Joint Bookrunners are arranging the Placing severally, and not jointly, or jointly and severally, as bookrunners and placing agents of the Company.

4.2 Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully, and are invited to, participate in the Placing. Each of the Joint Bookrunners may itself agree to be a Placee in respect of all or some of the Placing Shares or may nominate any member of its group to do so.

4.3 The Bookbuilding Process will establish a single price per Placing Share payable to the Joint Bookrunners by all Placees whose bids are successful (the "Placing Price"). The Placing Price and the aggregate proceeds to be raised through the Placing will be agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company following completion of the Bookbuilding Process. The Placing Price will be announced through a Placing results announcement (the "Placing Results Announcement") following the completion of the Bookbuilding Process. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by the Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

4.4 To bid in the Bookbuilding Process, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone to their usual sales contact at Numis or Peel Hunt. Each prospective Placee's allocation of Placing Shares will be confirmed to prospective Placees orally by one of the Joint Bookrunners or one of their respective affiliates, and a contract note will be dispatched as soon as practicable thereafter as evidence of such Placee's allocation and commitment. The terms and conditions of this appendix will be deemed incorporated into the contract note. That oral confirmation will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon that person (who at that point will become a Placee) in favour of the Company and the Joint Bookrunners to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in this appendix and in accordance with the Articles.

4.5 The Bookbuilding Process is expected to close no later than 2.00p.m. (London time) on 9 July 2020 but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners may, in agreement with the Company: (a) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuilding Process has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time, (b) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time, and/or (c) choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at their discretion and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as they may determine.

4.6 The Company will release the Placing Results Announcement following the close of the Bookbuilding Process, detailing the aggregate number of the Placing Shares to be issued and the Placing Price at which such shares have been placed.

4.7 An offer to acquire Placing Shares, which has been already communicated by a prospective Placee to either of the Joint Bookrunners which has not been withdrawn or revoked prior to publication of the Placing Results Announcement, shall not be capable of withdrawal or revocation following the publication of this announcement without the consent of the Joint Bookrunners.

4.8 Each Placee has an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the relevant Joint Bookrunner (as agent for the Company), to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds immediately on the settlement date in accordance with the registration and settlement requirements set out below an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and such number of Placing Shares that such Placee has agreed to acquire and that the Company has agreed to allot to it.

4.9 Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation pursuant to the Placing is confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be subscribed for pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

4.10 All obligations under the Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing Agreement".

4.11 By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee. Each Placee's obligations will be owed to the Company, and to Numis and Peel Hunt (as applicable).

4.12 To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither the Joint Bookrunners, nor the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any responsibility or liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither the Joint Bookrunners, nor the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any responsibility or liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Joint Bookrunners' conduct of the Placing.

4.13 The Placing Shares will be issued subject to the terms and conditions of this announcement and each Placee's commitment to subscribe for Placing Shares on the terms set out herein will continue notwithstanding any amendment that may in future be made to the terms and conditions of the Placing and Placees will have no right to be consulted or require that their consent be obtained with respect to the Company's or the Joint Bookrunners' conduct of the Placing.

4.14 All references to times and dates in this announcement are to times and dates in the United Kingdom and may be subject to amendment. The relevant Joint Bookrunner shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.

5. Conditions Of The Placing

5.4 Neither the Joint Bookrunners, nor the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision they may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any Condition to the Placing, nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any Condition or in respect of the Placing generally, and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.

6. Termination Of The Placing Agreement

6.1 Each of the Joint Bookrunners is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances, including (amongst other things) if at any time before Admission, either of the Joint Bookrunners becomes aware that:

6.1.1 any statement contained in this announcement or the investor presentation has become or been discovered to be untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect or that there has been an omission therefrom; or

6.1.2 any of the warranties in the Placing Agreement was, when given, untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect; or

6.1.5 a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under the Placing Agreement has occurred.

6.2 If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the parties to the Placing Agreement shall be released and discharged (except for any liability arising in relation to such termination) from their respective obligations under or pursuant to the Placing Agreement subject to certain exceptions.

6.3 By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that (i) the exercise by a Joint Bookrunner of any right of termination or of any other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of such Joint Bookrunner and that it need not make any reference to, or consult with, Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure to so exercise and (ii) its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above under "Termination of the Placing Agreement" and "Conditions of the Placing", and its participation will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after the oral confirmation of its allocation and commitment pursuant to the terms and conditions set out in this appendix. Without limitation to the foregoing, Placees will have no rights against the Joint Bookrunners, the Company or any of their respective directors, officers or employees under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended).

7. Registration And Settlement

7.1 Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00BYRJ5J14) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. The Joint Bookrunners each reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees in certificated form if, in the Joint Bookrunners' opinion, delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.

7.2 Following the close of the Bookbuilding Process, each Placee to be allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a contract note stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to them at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to the relevant Joint Bookrunner and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

7.3 Placees should settle against the CREST ID provided to them by either Numis or Peel Hunt. The input to CREST by a Placee of a matching or acceptance instruction will then allow delivery of the relevant Placing Shares to that Placee against payment.

7.4 It is expected that settlement will take place on 13 July 2020 on a T+2 basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the contract note.

7.5 Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above LIBOR as determined by the Joint Bookrunners.

7.6 Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Bookrunners may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the Joint Bookrunners' account, and to the extent applicable, the Company's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and will be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other taxes or duties (together with any interest or penalties) imposed in any jurisdiction which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf.

7.7 If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the contract note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation. Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject to as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes or duties (including any interest and penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue, sale, transfer or delivery of the Placing Shares (or, for the avoidance of doubt, if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer of or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), neither the Joint Bookrunners nor the Company shall be responsible for payment thereof.

7.8 Placees are not entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

9. Miscellaneous

9.1 The rights and remedies of the Joint Bookrunners, the Registrars and the Company under this appendix and the terms and conditions contained herein are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

9.2 On application, each Placee may be asked to disclose, in writing or orally to the Joint Bookrunners:

9.2.1 if he is an individual, his nationality; or

9.2.2 if he is a discretionary fund manager, the jurisdiction in which the funds are managed or owned.

For the exclusive benefit of the Joint Bookrunners, the Company and the Registrars, each Placee irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in respect of these matters. This does not prevent an action being taken against a Placee in any other jurisdiction.

9.6 In the case of a joint agreement to subscribe for Placing Shares, references to a "Placee" in these terms and conditions are to each of such Placees and such joint Placees' liability is joint and several.
