LONDON & STAMFORD PROPERTY LIMITED
Acquisition of the Radial Distribution Limited portfolio for GBP208.5m
London & Stamford Property Limited ("London & Stamford") (AIM: LSP), today
announces that it has exchanged contracts with Warner Estate Joint Ventures
Limited and Uberior Ventures Limited to acquire Radial Distribution Limited
("Radial") for GBP208.5m (excl. costs).
The Radial portfolio consists of 16 prime distribution warehouses totalling 3.4m
sq ft (total site area of 165 acres), in prime locations across the UK. Of the
16 units, 13 are located in the Midlands and one in Scotland, the South East and
the South West.
There are 13 tenants in total, including Tesco PLC, Travis Perkins plc, Eddie
Stobart Limited, Kuhne & Nagel and Northrop Grumman. The portfolio has a
weighted average unexpired lease term of 6.23 years. The current passing rent of
the portfolio is GBP17.36m per annum from 14 of the 16 units. There are
currently two vacant units and once fully let the portfolio is expected to
produce an annual rental income of GBP18.91m, which equates to a property net
initial yield of 8.75%.
The transaction will be financed out of existing cash resources and using the
debt available under London & Stamford's existing GBP150m loan facility with
Bank of Scotland. This will generate an equity yield of 15.30% initially rising
to 18.5% once full letting is achieved.
London & Stamford will hold a 94% interest in Radial, with Anglesea Capital
holding the remaining 6%. Anglesea Capital is a distribution sector specialist
and will work closely with LSI as asset manager of the portfolio.
M3 and Savills acted for both London & Stamford Property Limited and Anglesea
Capital.
Raymond Mould, the Non-executive Chairman of London & Stamford Property, said:
"We are delighted to have made this excellent acquisition for London & Stamford
alongside its joint venture partner Anglesea Capital. The portfolio represents
exceptional value and combines prime quality assets in prime locations, good
tenant mix, secure income and an attractive cash on equity return."

Notes to Editors
London & Stamford Property, a closed-ended investment company based in Guernsey,
is advised by LSI Management LLP ("LSIM") which has a highly experienced
management team. The principal partners of LSIM include Raymond Mould, Patrick
Vaughan, Martin McGann, Jeremy Bishop and Stewart Little. Raymond Mould, Patrick
Vaughan and Martin McGann are also non-executive directors of London & Stamford
Property.
The Company was established on 1 October 2007 in order to exploit opportunities
that it anticipated in the UK property cycles to invest principally in
commercial property.
The Company raised GBP247.5 million (gross proceeds) through a placing in
November 2007 when it was admitted to trading on AIM (LSP.L).
In October 2007, the Company entered into a five year revolving credit facility
with Bank of Scotland for GBP150 million. The facility is extendable by the
Company for a further two years and carries a margin of 80 basis points over
LIBOR.
The Company made no acquisitions during 2008, considering that market conditions
did not offer sufficient value. It made six new investments in 2009 using
GBP190 million of equity.
In July 2009, the Company raised a further GBP225.8 million (gross proceeds)
through a placing and open offer.

Mayfair based Anglesea Capital was set up in June 2009 by Rhys Lewis, former
principal and head of UK at Rockpoint (a US based Opportunity Fund operating
from offices in the US, Frankfurt, London and Tokyo). The formation of the
joint venture to acquire Radial represents Anglesea Capital's second acquisition
in the distribution warehousing sector following the June 2009 formation of a
Joint Venture with Rockpoint, to acquire and asset manage a GBP260 million
portfolio of UK distribution warehouses.
