  • A Transformational Year of Growth for the Company Following the Completion of the All-Share Merger with Medicx Fund Limited (“Medicx”) on 14 March 2019
    Primary Health Properties PLC Primary Health Properties PLC Annual Report 2019 Annual Report 2019 A transformational year of growth “ 2019 has been a transformational year in PHP’s history following the completion of the all-share merger with MedicX in March 2019, bringing together two high quality and complementary portfolios in the UK and Ireland. The business provides a much stronger platform for the future and has already created significant value delivering a total shareholder return of 49.2% in the year. We have also delivered the operating synergies of £4.0 million per annum outlined at the time of the merger, as well as a 50bp reduction in the average cost of debt. We have continued to selectively grow the enlarged portfolio, particularly in Ireland where we believe there is a significant opportunity, and further strengthened the balance sheet with a successful, oversubscribed £100 million equity issue, £150 million unsecured convertible bond issue and €70 million Euro-denominated private placement loan note. PHP’s high quality portfolio and capital base have helped to deliver another year of strong earnings performance and our 23rd consecutive year of dividend growth. Continuing improvements to the rental growth outlook and further reductions in the cost of finance will help to maintain our strategy of paying a progressive dividend to shareholders which is fully covered by earnings, as we look forward to the future with confidence.” Harry Hyman Managing Director Strategic report Corporate governance Financial statements Further
