("Raven" or the "Company")
Property valuation update
The Company has undertaken a valuation of its property portfolio as at 31 May 2019, as part of the
process to prepare the circular to ordinary shareholders regarding the purchase of ordinary shares from
two of its institutional shareholders, which was announced on 1 July 2019. The valuation was prepared by
Jones Lang LaSalle and undertaken in accordance with the appropriate sections of the current Practice
Statements contained in the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Valuation – Global Standards, 2017
(the "Red Book").
As the Company announced on 1 July 2019 the Russian economy and its logistics real estate market
continue to improve, market rental levels are increasing and vacancy is decreasing. Accordingly, the
Company can report an increase in the Rouble valuation of its portfolio of 1.1% to Roubles 109.5 billion,
equating to a revaluation gain of £14.4 million at the Rouble sterling exchange rate of 82.2 on 31 May
2019. This represents an increase, before any associated tax and the impact of the strengthening of the
Rouble, in net asset value per share of 2.4p for ordinary shares in issue today.
Further, and as explained in the Company's announcement on 1 July 2019, the weak Rouble at 31
December 2018 had a detrimental impact on the value of the Group's property portfolio when translated
into Sterling at an exchange rate of 88.35. Since then, the Rouble has since returned to its three year
average of 80 Roubles to a pound, which will have a further beneficial impact on the property valuations
when translated into Sterling.
The information contained within this announcement relating to a valuation of the Company's property
portfolio is considered by Raven Property Group Limited to constitute inside information as stipulated
under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No.596/2014. Upon the publication of this announcement via a
Regulatory Information Service, this inside information will be considered to be in the public domain.
The person responsible for arranging for the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is
