Supermarket Income REIT chairman, Nick Hewson, said: "We have seen extremely strong demand for this issue. We are grateful for the continued support of our existing shareholders and are pleased to welcome new investors, some of whom were able to participate for the first time following the migration of the Company onto the premium segment of the Official List earlier this year.
