Abstrakt: UK supermarket chain Morrisons has raised £331m by selling ground rent payments on 76 of its stores to US property investor Song Capital. The move is part of Morrisons' efforts to reduce its debt, which stood at £8.6bn at the end of 2023. The chain plans to use the proceeds from the deal to repay debt and unlock value from its UK property portfolio. Morrisons has been working to cut its debt over the past year, including through the sale and leaseback of assets and the sale of petrol stations. [Extracted from the article]
