Published justification

The subject of this notice is an agreement to be entered into between SWFT and Noviniti for the grant of an option entitling Noviniti to call for the grant of a 45 year Ground Lease of part of SWFT’s freehold land at the Hospital. <br/><br/>The area which will be subject to the option are defined within the Option Agreement and the option period will run for an initial period of 39 weeks (subject to extension). SWFT has had valuation advice and will grant the Ground Lease at a premium which reflects the market value. <br/><br/>The Ground Lease anticipates that Noviniti may choose (but with no obligation to do so) to undertake a Permitted Alteration (in accordance with a Licence for Alterations that may be entered into in relation to the proposed Ground Lease) of a retail use development at the Hospital (the “Potential Development”). The Ground Lease is subject to break clauses in favour of SWFT if no Licence for Alterations has been issued or work on any Permitted Alterations begun at the second anniversary of the relevant Ground Lease. The Ground Lease is subject to a further break clause in favour of SWFT on the 40th anniversary of practical completion of the Potential Development. <br/><br/>The details of the Potential Development will have been agreed between SWFT and Noviniti prior to the grant of the Option Agreement. Noviniti has a right to terminate the Ground Lease if Noviniti has not commenced the works comprising the Potential Development by the date 52 weeks after the date of the Ground Lease. <br/><br/>The exercise of the option by Noviniti to call for the Ground Lease does not trigger any obligation on Noviniti to undertake or on SWFT to procure the Potential Development. If Noviniti decides to undertake the Potential Development (and if SWFT subsequently so decides) Noviniti and SWFT may enter into an agreement for lease providing for the grant by Noviniti of underleases of all or part of the completed development to SWFT and/or a third party, with reversionary leases to SWFT. If that agreement is reached SWFT anticipates that SWFT, Noviniti and the third party (if applicable) will enter into further documents including a deed of variation of the Ground Lease, a Licence for Alterations authorising the Permitted Alteration and underleases of the completed development. <br/><br/>In the event that Noviniti chooses to proceed with the Potential Development, SWFT may also choose (but is under no obligation) to carry out its own further development at the site by adding up to two further floors on top of Noviniti’s development for clinical use by SWFT. Accordingly, the terms of any Licence for Alterations are likely to include technical requirements to enable SWFT to add to the building structure in the future if required.
