On Wednesday, 22 June 2022 JSE listed REIT Octodec Investments Limited announced that Global Credit Ratings (GCR) had reaffirmed Octodec’s A- credit rating with a revised stable outlook.

Shareholders and noteholders are advised that Global Credit Ratings (“GCR”) has undertaken a credit rating review of Octodec, as guarantor of wholly-owned subsidiary Premium Properties Limited’s Domestic Medium-Term Note Programme dated 23 February 2015. On 21 June 2022, GCR re-affirmed the long-term national scale issuer rating assigned to Octodec of A-(za) and the short-term issuer rating of A2(za), with the outlook revised from Negative to Stable.
