Subject:               SLIPIT Sale- Elstree Tower Borehamwood 
 
Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust (SLIPIT) is pleased to announce 
it has exchanged contracts to sell Elstree Tower in Borehamwood for GBP20m. The 
80,700sqft office was valued at the end of June at GBP18m and is the second 
largest asset in the fund, and had the largest rent roll (GBP1,320,000pa) which 
was secured on a lease subject to a tenant only break in 2020. The sale is due 
to complete in February 2018. 
 
Jason Baggaley, fund manager of SLIPIT, said "The sale continues our strategy 
of disposing of assets at a profit where it also reduces risk to the Company. 
Although the asset is let to a strong covenant, there is uncertainty around the 
break clause in 2020, and the building would require substantial capex on 
expiry. The delayed completion, which is unconditional, provides the Company 
with additional income, and reduces cash drag while opportunities to reinvest 
the proceeds are being investigated".
