Notes to Editors

Primary Health Properties (LSE and JSE: PHP) is a leading investor in modern primary healthcare
properties across the UK and Ireland. Since listing on the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") in 1998, it
has created progressive returns for shareholders through a combination of rental growth and capital
appreciation, generating 27 years of consecutive dividend growth.

Its primary listing is on the Premium Segment of the LSE and is included on the FTSE 250 Index. It has
a secondary listing on the South African JSE LIMITED ("JSE").

The Group owns and manages a £2.8 billion portfolio of healthcare assets that generate strong, high
quality rent roll of just under £150 million. Its internal management team delivers sector leading financial
management, with the lowest peer cost ratios. In particular, PHP is positioned for growth in the emerging
Irish market following its 2023 acquisition of Axis Technical Services, the Irish property management
business.

PHP's long-term leases offer unique security with c.90% of rental income directly or indirectly backed
by the government, via the NHS in the UK or HSE in Ireland. Growing and ageing patient populations
are placing increasing and significant pressure on the government's under-invested healthcare
systems; the provision of better front line primary care offers a proven solution. The Board has a strong
commitment to responsible growth and has set out a clear plan to transition operational, development
and asset management activities to Net Zero Carbon by 2030.
