THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES
OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014 as it
forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) (UK MAR).
Earlier today, the Minister of State for Defence Procurement
released a statement (the "Statement") regarding its continuing
review of the Married Quarters Estate owned by the Annington Group
and leased back to the MoD (the "MQE").
In addition to the Statement referring to the settlement with
Annington in relation to the Site Review process, in relation to
which the Issuer released an RNS on 15 December 2021, the Statement
refers to the MoD seeking to "explore the exercise of its statutory
leasehold enfranchisement rights to buy out Annington's interest"
in the MQE. The MoD has filed a test case in respect of a single
house in Cranwell. If successful, the MoD claims this will give it
the right to acquire Annington's proprietary interest in the single
house in question at a value which is broadly equivalent to the
open market value.
Annington is of the firm view that the MoD has no legal right to
exercise statutory leasehold enfranchisement rights to buy either
the house which is the subject of the test claim or any others.
Annington will be taking all legal steps available to it to resist
the MoD's claim on this single house and any other enfranchisement
rights claims brought by the MoD, should they be forthcoming.
A further announcement will be made in due course as and when
the position becomes clearer.
