ALPHA REAL TRUST LIMITED ("ALPHA REAL TRUST" OR THE "COMPANY")

ACQUISITION OF A TRAVELODGE HOTEL and PUBLIC HOUSE IN YARDLEY, UNITED KINGDOM

 

ART announces it has acquired a hotel and public house in Yardley, Birmingham,
United Kingdom for £5.1 million including acquisition costs.

The property is leased to Travelodge Hotels Limited, the United Kingdom's
largest independent hotel brand with more than 590 hotels. The property is let
until November 2060 with a tenant only break option in 2035, providing 12
years term certain to the break clause. Under the lease the tenant is
responsible for building maintenance and the rent has inflation linked
adjustments, reflecting an initial yield of 8.3% p.a.

ART has acquired the asset for cash.

The 64-bedroom hotel and public house is held freehold and is situated to the
east of Birmingham City Centre off the A45. The hotel is in a well-connected
location equidistant between Birmingham City Centre to the west and Birmingham
Airport to the east.

 

Investment rationale

This acquisition offers the Company the potential to benefit from a long term,
predictable, inflation-linked income stream whilst contributing additional
diversification to ART's portfolio. In addition, the investment offers the
potential for associated capital growth.

The Company remains focused on asset-backed lending, debt investments and high
return property investments in Western Europe that are capable of delivering
strong risk adjusted cash flows.
