Triple Point Social Housing REIT plc

(the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

 

Investment Grade Credit Rating Reaffirmed   

The Board of Directors of Triple Point Social Housing REIT plc (ticker: SOHO) is pleased to announce that Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch") has reaffirmed the Company's existing Investment Grade, long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'A-' and a senior secured rating of 'A' for the Group's existing loan notes. Fitch published its first rating on the Company in August 2021 with the same Investment Grade distinctions.

The outlook has been revised from stable to negative to reflect prolonged rent arrears from two Registered Providers, and the risk that the independent review of the investment management arrangements could result in a change of investment manager. Fitch note that the Group's arrears have not been detrimental to the Group's credit metrics, and that they intend to resolve the negative outlook upon resolution of these arrears (which may include the completion of a transfer of leases, as is currently being progressed by the investment manager), as well as understanding the outcome of the Group's independent review of the investment management arrangements.
