Clarification about RAAC and INPP's portfolio
4 September 2023
International Public Partnerships Limited, the listed infrastructure
investment company ('INPP' or 'the Company'), notes recent commentary about
the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete ('RAAC') in public
buildings.
The Company also notes that none of the schools or other public buildings
within INPP's portfolio have been closed. Whilst the asset management team
of the Company's Investment Adviser, Amber Infrastructure, continue to offer
support to its public sector partners to ensure the safe delivery of public
services, the RAAC issues being reported on by the media are not a financial
concern for INPP.
INPP's portfolio predominantly comprises new buildings that post-date the use
of RAAC. In very few instances projects in the portfolio, which include
schools, incorporated older buildings alongside newly built/refurbished
facilities. It is possible that some of these older buildings may have used
RAAC in their construction. However, in any such cases, under the contractual
terms of INPP's investment (i) the costs associated with any remedial works
for these pre-existing buildings would be covered by the authority, and (ii)
should the presence of RAAC result in a full or partial building closure
(which is not currently anticipated) the availability-based revenues payable
by the authority to the project company would be unaffected.
