Custodian REIT plc

("Custodian REIT" or the "Company")

Disposal of business park office property for GBP2.8m

Custodian REIT (LSE: CREI), which seeks to deliver a strong income return by investing in a diversified portfolio of smaller regional properties across the UK, is pleased to announce the disposal of a 16,941 sq ft office property in Leicester for GBP2.8m, in line with the most recent valuation.

Commenting on the disposal, Richard Shepherd-Cross, Managing Director of Custodian Capital Limited (the Company's external fund manager), said:

"This asset was acquired as part of the Company's IPO portfolio in 2014. It has been fully let since, delivering an average yield of 9% per annum but has seen no rental or valuation growth over our period of ownership and this trend is expected to continue. We expect to invest the sale proceeds in the Company's remaining assets which have greater prospects for income and capital growth, better supporting the Board's objective of increasing dividends in a sustainable way and enhancing the portfolio's environmental credentials."
