30 July 2021 
 
Custodian REIT plc 
 
("Custodian REIT" or the "Company") 
 
Disposal of Properties 
 
Custodian REIT (LSE: CREI), the UK property investment company, is pleased to announce it has unconditionally exchanged 
on the disposal of a portfolio of properties ("the Portfolio") for GBP23.355 million, with completion due on 29 September 
2021. 
 
The Portfolio comprises five industrial sites in Gateshead, Stockton-on-Tees, Warrington, Stone and Christchurch with a 
current passing rent of GBP1.4 million.  The properties within the Portfolio were acquired either in the seed portfolio 
at IPO or within subsequent portfolio acquisitions. 
 
The agreed sale price of GBP23.355m is GBP4.07m (21%) above the Portfolio's 31 March 2021 valuation and GBP2.13m (10%) above 
the Portfolio's 30 June 2021 valuation and will add 0.5p1 to the 30 June 2021 NAV per share on scheduled completion. 
 
Commenting on the disposal, Richard Shepherd-Cross, Managing Director of Custodian Capital Limited (the Company's 
external fund manager), said: 
 
"Investment demand and pricing for industrial assets are both at record levels, so we believe now is the best time to 
sell to capitalise on the current, favourable market dynamics to secure a significant profit. 
 
"While the short-term prospects for the each of the properties in the Portfolio remain robust, over the medium term we 
consider them as non-core assets due to a combination of age, construction, location and site layout limiting future 
rental growth or demanding significant capital expenditure. 
 
"We have agreed a delayed completion to sustain dividend cover while we re-deploy proceeds which we have already begun 
to invest pre-emptively in higher quality assets with greater prospects for income and capital growth, better 
supporting the Board's objective of increasing dividends in a sustainable way." 
 
1 Based on the current issued share capital of 420,603,344 shares.
