Primary Health Properties
Admitted to newly launched Social Stock Exchange
Primary Health Properties PLC (PHP), one of the largest
providers of modern primary healthcare facilities, is pleased to
announce that it has been admitted as an initial member of the
Social Stock Exchange (SSE), a unique platform launched today by
Prime Minister David Cameron. PHP is one of the first companies to
be welcomed to the newly launched platform which was designed to
open the public financial markets to social impact investment with
high growth businesses in markets such as social and affordable
housing, clean-tech waste, water, recycling, renewable energy,
sustainable transport, education, health and culture.
The SSE gives investors access to publicly listed businesses
with strong social and environmental purpose, and guarantees full
and transparent disclosure on the impact of those businesses. PHP,
listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE),
invests in medical centres leased principally to GPs, NHS
organisations and other associated healthcare users. Demand for new
purpose built GP premises is vastly outstripping supply as
Government commitments to enhance the NHS primary care estate (GP
premises) are met. PHP currently owns approximately GBP650 million
of assets and is currently involved in a GBP60 million equity fund
raising as it plans to grow the gross value of its portfolio to in
excess of GBP1 billion.
The SSE is supported by a number of high profile organisations
including the London Stock Exchange, City of London Corporation,
Big Society Capital and the Rockefeller Foundation. David Cameron
said in a speech ahead of the G8 summit that the SSE demonstrates
that the UK is at the heart of financial innovation and social
investment. The global market for social impact investment is
estimated to be worth $9 billion and expected to grow to between
$200 billion and $650 billion in the next decade.[1]
Other companies admitted to the SSE include: Places for People,
Scope, Good Energy plc, Ashley House plc, V22 plc, Straight plc,
ITM Power plc, ValiRx plc, Halosource plc and Accsys plc.
Harry Hyman, Managing Director of Primary Health Properties,
said:
"We are pleased to be one of the founding members of the SSE,
which we believe is an important platform enabling investors to
invest in socially valuable companies that operate the highest
standards of transparency, and we are proud to be recognised as a
generator of positive social impact.
"The passing of the Health and Social Care Act in 2012 paved the
way for significant changes to the healthcare system of delivery.
The demands placed upon the NHS and the structural changes targeted
by the Act are all strengthening the move to deliver more
healthcare services in the local community which forms part of
PHP's core business."
Pradeep Jethi, Co-founder & CEO of SEE, said:
"We believe that organisations that place social and
environmental aims at the core of their activities, whilst
operating on robust revenue and growth models, are the ones best
equipped to generate the kind of positive impact that creates real
change. Nobody can guarantee a return on capital - but the SSE can
guarantee the social benefit and standards of each and every
company they admit."

About SSE
The Social Stock Exchange is a unique marketplace designed to
connect publicly listed social impact businesses with investors
seeking to generate positive impact alongside a financial
return.
Its aim is to bridge the information gap between values-based
investors and growth businesses that are delivering positive social
and environmental impact through their core activities. By doing
this the SSE provides investors with the knowledge they need to
identify and compare those organisations that deliver demonstrable
value to society and the environment. This will allow the social
investment market to grow to scale, leading to the creation of more
impact.
Through its online portal, the SSE gives member companies the
opportunity to articulate and evidence their social and
environmental impact, whilst giving investors the tools and
frameworks necessary to assess the social value generated by the
businesses featured.
The Social Stock Exchange's rigorous admissions process includes
the publication of an independent Impact Report prepared by
specialists in social impact. Applications are reviewed and
approved by an independent Admissions Panel, meaning that investors
can rely on a sound vetting procedure, based on best practice
disclosure.
