European Real Estate Investment Trust Limited

Disposal of La Gaude, Nice, France

The Board of European Real Estate Investment Trust ("the Group") is pleased to announce that the sale of La Gaude in France has been completed for a net price of EUR5.8 million. Following receipt of the sale proceeds, the Company will hold cash balances of approximately GBP13.2/EUR15.1 million.

The Group has been in structured realisation since the shareholder vote in August 2011. The property in La Gaude, formerly occupied by IBM as their regional HQ, was the Group's last remaining asset. The Board had explored various options for the future of the La Gaude asset which has been vacant since the departure of IBM in September 2015. Given continuing uncertainty about the potential future use of the site and the material costs of operating the property it was appropriate to execute an early disposal and progress liquidation as soon as possible.

Following the announcement by the Company on 6 June 2017, the Board continues to review the position with regards to both the proposed repayment of capital and redemption of shares and the proposal received from Quidnet Capital Partners LLP for the Company to change its investment objective and strategy and will provide an update to Shareholders in due course.
