Subject: SLIPIT Purchase

Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust has completed the purchase of three retail warehouse investments for a total of GBP12.7m, reflecting a yield of 8%.

The three assets are:

Olympian Way, Leyland - two units adjacent to a Morrisons food store and let to Homebase and Argos with an average unexpired term of 11 years, at a total rent of GBP380,000pa. Both units benefit from open A1 planning consent.

Black Friars Rd Kings Lynn - a single unit adjacent to a Morrisons food store and let to Matalan for a further 13.5 years at a rent of GBP378,500pa and benefitting from open A1 use.

Mayo Avenue Bradford - a single unit let to Matalan and adjacent to a Morrisons food store for a further 15 years at a rent of GBP318,278pa and benefiting from an open A1 consent.

Jason Baggaley, fund manager of SLIPIT said "I am delighted to have completed these purchases. Retail warehousing has been out of favour, however with improved consumer confidence and retail sales it is becoming more attractive again, especially with the continued planning constraints. All these units trade well and were purpose built in the last ten to twelve years and provide good quality accommodation next to established food stores and benefitting from an open A1 planning consent. The income yield of 8% is attractive to the Company, and provides scope for capital growth.
