Further Update regarding Camberley Development Site

Further to the announcement of 25 June 2019, Trafalgar (AIM: TRAF), the AIM quoted residential and assisted living property developer, announces that it has not been possible in the required timeframe to secure the full funding to acquire its assisted living development site Camberley.

Negotiations with lending institutions had been taking place, however terms could not be definitely agreed before the 9(th) July 2019 deadline required to complete the acquisition of the site. As such, the Company announces that it has now lost the non-refundable deposit of GBP230,000 paid on exchange of Contracts.

The Company remains focused on pursuing its retirement home strategy. It's residential subsidiary, Trafalgar New Homes is pleased to announce that planning has been lodged for its Epsom and Ashtead schemes and expects to submit planning for its Send Barns scheme later this week. Should planning be approved, the Company will seek the necessary development funding.

Commenting James Dubois, Chairman of Trafalgar said:

"Whilst it is regrettable that the Company has not been able to secure appropriate funding for the Camberley site, the Board remains absolutely committed to pursuing its strategy in retirement homes and is actively targeting other prospective sites for development".
