Portfolio Update - Parasol Homes

The Board of Triple Point Social Housing REIT plc (ticker: SOHO) notes the Regulatory Notice published today by the Regulator of Social Housing (the "Regulator") in relation to Parasol Homes ("Parasol"). This follows the Regulator's ongoing review of the specialised supported housing sector which the Board welcomes, bringing as it does, higher levels of accountability and transparency.

Parasol, a registered provider focused on the supported housing sector, has recently been subject to a review by the Regulator, resulting in Parasol being deemed non-compliant with regards to elements of the Governance and Financial Viability Standard. This reflects the Regulator's desire to see Parasol demonstrate improvement in the areas of business planning and risk management. As Parasol had fewer than 1,000 social housing units under management based on the most recent statistical data return, no formal rating was given by the Regulator.

The Group has 38 assets leased to Parasol, the aggregate value of which, as at 30 September 2021, was £60.0 million. Parasol represents 10.0 per cent of the Group's current portfolio value and 10.2 per cent of the Group's rent roll. The Group continues to receive rent payable under the leases to Parasol and, to date, has been paid approximately 98.3% of rent due for the year.

The Group's investment manager, Triple Point Investment Management LLP (the "Manager") has an established relationship with Parasol and is in regular dialogue with the housing association, particularly with regard to the regulatory review. The Company notes that Parasol has committed to work with the Regulator to address the issues outlined in this Regulatory Notice.

The Manager has liaised with the Group's independent valuer, Jones Lang LaSalle Limited, who has confirmed that there should be no material impact on the value of the Group's property portfolio as a result of the Regulatory Notice.

NOTES:

The Company invests in primarily newly developed social housing assets in the UK, with a particular focus on supported housing. The assets within the portfolio are subject to inflation-linked, long-term (typically from 20 years to 30 years), Fully Repairing and Insuring ("FRI") leases with Approved Providers (being Housing Associations, Local Authorities or other regulated organisations in receipt of direct payment from local government). The portfolio comprises investments into properties which are already subject to an FRI lease with an Approved Provider, as well as forward funding of pre-let developments but does not include any direct development or speculative development.

There is increasing political pressure and social need to increase housing supply across the UK which is creating opportunities for private sector investors to help deliver this housing. The Group's ability to provide forward funding for new developments not only enables the Company to secure fit for purpose, modern assets for its portfolio but also addresses the chronic undersupply of suitable supported housing properties in the UK at sustainable rents as well as delivering returns to investors.

The Company was admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 8 August 2017 and was admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and migrated to trading on the premium segment of the Main Market on 27 March 2018. The Company operates as a UK Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") and is a constituent of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT index.

Additional information on regulation

The Specialised Supported Housing sector is regulated by the Regulator who carries out assessments on registered providers either through a scheduled In-depth assessment ("IDA") or reactive engagement. When a registered provider passes the 1,000-unit threshold, it automatically becomes subject to a detailed IDA by the Regulator. The IDA assesses compliance with the requirements of the Governance and Financial Viability Standard. The outcome of an IDA results in the Regulator publishing a formal grading (V 1-4 for Viability and G 1-4 for Governance, where V1-2 and G1-2 are considered "compliant" ratings, and V3-4 and G3-4 are considered "non-compliant" ratings), known as a regulatory judgement.
