AGM Statement

First Property Group plc (AIM: FPO), the property fund manager and investor, will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) today at 12 noon.

At the AGM, the Company's Chairman, Alasdair Locke, will make the following statement:

"The Company continues to trade well and in line with expectations.

"Our aggregate funds under management, including those held by the Group, stood at GBP271 million on 31 August 2015, compared to GBP327 million at our financial year end on 31 March 2015. The reduction is principally attributable to the expiry in August of our fund management contract with Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS).

"We plan to report interim results on Thursday 26 November 2015."
