VHP 22/04/2015 09:51 GENERAL PRICE SENSITIVE REL: 0951 HRS Vital Healthcare Property Trust GENERAL: VHP: Vital and Ramsay Health Care partnership at Allamanda Vital and Ramsay Health Care establish long term partnership at Allamanda Private Hospital Vital Healthcare Management Limited (the 'Manager'), the manager of Vital Healthcare Property Trust ('Vital') is pleased to announce that it has an unconditional agreement with Ramsay Health Care Limited (ASX: RHC) ('Ramsay') for a new 21.3 year net lease of 100% of Allamanda Private Hospital in Southport, Gold Coast, Australia. David Carr, Chief Executive of the Manager said "The lease to Ramsay, a leading global hospital operator is a significant milestone for Vital. To secure a long-term lease with one of the world's largest private hospital operators is a fantastic outcome. Following on from our recent success entering into a new 30 year lease with Mercy Ascot in Auckland, the Vital team now has an established and proven track record in proactively managing and mitigating end of term lease expiry risk." Ramsay operates 212 hospitals and day surgery facilities across Australia, France, the United Kingdom, Indonesia and Malaysia. David Carr said "The repositioning of Allamanda was a key asset management focus in 2015. Resolving the expiry some two and a half years ahead of time is an excellent outcome. Over the next 10 years Vital's average lease expiry profile is only 2.2% of portfolio rent per annum, with our largest single tenant lease expiry now capped at 2.4% over the same period. The Australian Vital Management team led by Richard Roos (Managing Director) and Mark Norman (Fund Manager) have done an exceptional job in repositioning Allamanda, further adding to Vital's market capability and credibility." The initial minimum commencement rental will be A$2.4m per annum, with the final commencement rent determined by as yet to be agreed capital works to ensure that Allamanda meets Ramsay's long-term requirements. Excluding Vital's responsibility for lessor's works, which is capped at A$2.0m, the lessee capital works will be rentalised on completion and may be staged. The new 21.3 year term is expected to commence on 1 November 2016 providing back to back contractual lease certainty. The lease also includes annual CPI reviews and periodic reviews to market. - ENDS - ENQUIRIES David Carr, Chief Executive Officer Vital Healthcare Management Ltd, Telephone 09 973 7301, Email [email protected] Stuart Harrison, Chief Financial Officer Vital Healthcare Management Ltd, Telephone 09 973 7302, Email [email protected] About Vital Healthcare Property Trust With a portfolio value of over NZ$630m, Vital Healthcare Property Trust (NZSX: VHP) is Australasia's largest listed investor in healthcare real estate.
