APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTOR
Capital & Regional, the UK convenience and community focused shopping
centre REIT, is pleased to announce the appointment of Panico Theocharides as
a Non-Executive Director with effect from 22 February 2023. Panico replaces
George Muchanya as one of Growthpoint's nominees on the Board. Panico has
recently joined Growthpoint as Head of Investments.
Panico has over 20 years' experience in the real estate investment industry,
with much of this time focused on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE")
Listed Real Estate sector. For the last five years Panico has worked as an
independent property consultant. Prior to this he was Head of Property
Advisory, Corporate Finance at Investec in Johannesburg, South Africa, with
overall responsibility for strategic direction and client relationships for
the property advisory team within corporate finance.
Panico was the Joint Chief Executive Officer of Annuity Properties Limited
("Annuity"). He helped found and subsequently list the company on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE"), in May 2012, at which time it converted
to a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"). Following the listing, Panico led
Annuity's growth strategy, building an attractive portfolio of A-Grade retail
and commercial assets, from four properties valued at R486m at the time of
listing to 20 properties valued in excess of R2 billion within an 18-month
period. In 2014, Annuity was successfully sold to Redefine Properties Limited.
Commenting on the appointment, David Hunter, Chairman of Capital &
Regional, said: "We welcome Panico Theocharides to our Board. He brings a
wealth of complementary experiences and his proven expertise in driving
significant business growth will benefit Capital & Regional as we continue
to implement our strategy in order to deliver value for our shareholders. I
would also like to take this opportunity to thank George Muchanya for his
invaluable contribution to the Company over the last three years since his
appointment alongside Growthpoint's investment."
Panico Theocharides commented: "Capital & Regional's strategy of focusing
on dominant urban community shopping centres positions it well to both meet
the needs of the local neighbourhoods it serves and deliver returns for
shareholders. I believe the Company is well placed to continue to take
advantage of changing retail habits and navigate the UK macro environment. I
am therefore looking forward to joining the Board of Capital & Regional
and to working alongside the ambitious executive team to progress that
strategy and drive shareholder returns."
The above notification is made pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.11R. There are
no matters in respect of Panico Theocharides requiring disclosure under
Listing Rules 9.6.13(2) to 9.6.13(6) inclusive.
