Ground Rents Income Fund plc

("GRIO" or the "Company")

DISPOSAL OF THE FORMER PORTLAND HOTEL IN HULL

Ground Rents Income Fund plc announces that it has exchanged contracts to sell its freehold interest in the property formerly known as The Portland Hotel in Hull, for £1.45 million. Completion is expected by 24 June 2026.

The property was acquired in 2013 for £600,000. The transaction also resolves legacy asset management issues, including forfeiting the previous tenant's lease for material breach. In addition to the sale price, the purchaser is contributing £125,000 to the Company's legal costs and a further £250,000 associated with gaining vacant possession from the previous tenant.

The property is not part of the security pool for the Company's outstanding loan of £3.9 million with Santander UK plc; however, the Company expects net sale proceeds to be utilised to repay the facility in accordance with the Company's strategy.
