PEPR announces disposal in the UK
Luxembourg - 6 October 2011 - ProLogis European Properties (Euronext: PEPR), one
of Europe's largest owners of modern distribution facilities, announced today
that it has completed the sale of a 10,400 square metre building in Basingstoke,
south west of London, to Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd ("Sainsbury's"), one of
the UK's leading food retailers. The building has been occupied by Sainsbury's
since 2004. Proceeds from the sale will be used to further delever the business.
Peter Cassells, CEO of PEPR, commented: "We are pleased to have agreed this
transaction with a highly valued UK customer on a building that has been an
important part of Sainsbury's distribution chain. We look forward to further
developing our working relationship with Sainsbury's in the UK market."
"The transaction reflects the strong demand that we are seeing for high-quality
logistics assets. Furthermore, the disposal is in line with PEPR's objectives to
actively manage the portfolio to optimise value and reduce overall leverage to a
more conservative level.
