Update on Rent Collection

 

SEGRO plc (“SEGRO” or the “Group”) today updates the market on its
continued strong rent collection for the first and second quarters of 2021.

In respect of UK rents payable in advance on 25 March relating to the second
quarter of 2021, as at 7 April, we had received 89 per cent of the £52
million of rent due and we expect the substantial balance of outstanding rents
to be paid by the end of the quarter. This compares with 71 per cent at a
similar point in 2020.

In respect of the first quarter of 2021, we have now collected 97 per cent of
all rents due from both our UK and Continental Europe portfolios.
