"Group")
Portfolio Update - Auckland Home Solutions
The board of Triple Point Social Housing REIT plc (ticker: SOHO)
(the "Board") notes the Enforcement Notice published by the
Regulator of Social Housing (the "Regulator") in relation to
Auckland Home Solutions ("Auckland").
Auckland is a registered provider focused on the specialised
supported housing sector with under 1,000 units under management.
The Enforcement Notice follows on from the Regulator's ongoing
engagement with Auckland and the regulatory notice that was
published on 13 August 2021.
The Enforcement Notice notes that the Regulator lacks assurances
that Auckland is compliant with the Regulator's standards and
directs Auckland to commission an independent review focused on
appraising governance, business planning, risk management and
compliance with the Rent Standard. Following the conclusion of the
review Auckland must develop, and submit to the Regulator, an
action plan to achieve compliance. In addition, the Regulator has
appointed three new board members to Auckland's board to improve
its capacity and capability.
The Group has 30 assets leased to Auckland, the aggregate value
of which, as at 31 December 2022, was GBP30.8 million. Auckland
represents 4.6 per cent of the Group's portfolio value and 4.6 per
cent of the Group's rent roll. As at 31 December 2022, all rent due
from Auckland under the leases with the Group had been paid in
full. As at 31 March 2023, there was a small amount of rent
outstanding (GBP41,064), and this is expected to be resolved
shortly.
The Group's investment manager, Triple Point Investment
Management LLP (the "Manager"), has an established relationship
with Auckland and welcomes the additional skills the new directors
will bring to Auckland's board. The Manager notes that Auckland has
been working towards addressing the matters raised by the Regulator
in August 2021, and has already begun the commissioning process for
the independent review required by the Regulator.

NOTES:
The Company invests in primarily newly developed social housing
assets in the UK, with a particular focus on supported housing. The
majority of the assets within the portfolio are subject to
inflation-linked, long-term, 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 a 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 is a UK Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") listed
on the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Financial
Conduct Authority and is a constituent of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT
index.
