(1) For the year ending 31st August 2018, Boots UK Limited reported a turnover of £6,790,000,000, pre-tax profits of £398,000,000 and a total net worth of £875,000,000 (Source: Experian Group 19/09/2019). Boots is the largest pharmacy health and beauty chain in the UK and as at 31st August 2018 had 2,485 stores across the UK (Source: www.boots-uk.com/about-boots-uk/about-boots/boots-in-numbers/ 20/09/2019).
(2) The current lease is for a term of 15 years and four months expiring 21/07/2020, however a 5 year reversionary lease has been signed from expiry of the current term until 21/07/2025 at a rebased rent of £10,501 p.a.x.
(3) For the purpose of clarification, the current passing rent is £12,932 p.a.x. The current lease provides a fixed rental increase to £13,126 p.a.x from 1st April 2020. The seller has agreed to adjust the completion monies so that the property will effectively produce £13,126 p.a.x from the completion of sale. At the commencement of the reversionary lease on 21/07/2020, the rent will rebase to £10,501 p.a.x and the tenant will benefit from a three month rent free period. The seller has agreed to adjust the completion monies so the sale will effectively produce £10,501 p.a.x. from the commencement of the reversionary lease.
