Reduction of Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF")

Assura plc ("Assura"), the leading primary care property investor and developer, today announces that it has given notice under its Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") agreement to voluntarily cancel GBP100 million of the existing GBP225 million facility which runs to November 2024.

Following the cancellation, the RCF will stand at GBP125 million and is currently undrawn.

Jayne Cottam, Chief Financial Officer, commented:

"Our recent successful Sustainability and Social Bond issuances have demonstrated the range of debt markets that Assura can now access, reflecting the strength of our business model, our balance sheet and our A- rating from Fitch.

"We have therefore taken the opportunity to further reduce our revolving credit facility to GBP125 million in order to improve the efficiency of our funding profile.

"We are grateful to the banks and all our lenders for their continuing, flexible support."
