("NewRiver" or the "Company")
Statement regarding Debenhams plc
 
NewRiver notes the announcement this morning that administrators have been appointed to Debenhams plc ("Debenhams").
 
For the purposes of clarification, NewRiver confirms that its total rental exposure to Debenhams is £0.1 million, which represents less than 0.1% of the Company's gross rent roll. NewRiver has no Debenhams stores in its portfolio, and the rent payable relates to an entrance to the Debenhams store in Middlesbrough from the mall of Hillstreet Shopping Centre, which NewRiver owns.
 
The Company also confirms that this is the only rental exposure it has to department stores.
