(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers among London Main Market small-caps on Monday.
----------
SMALL-CAP - WINNERS
----------
Restaurant Group PLC, up 5.1% at 49.90 pence, 12-month range 25.06p-51.60p. It confirms it has agreed to sell its "challenged" Frankie & Benny's and Chiquito chains to the owner of Bella Italia, Las Iguanas and Banana Tree, saying this will reduce its debt and improve its profit margin. The buyer, Big Table Group Ltd, will pay a nominal GBP1 for Restaurant Group's loss-making Leisure business and will receive a "contribution" from Restaurant Group of GBP7.5 million. Restaurant Group says the disposal of its Leisure business, which consists primarily of 75 Frankie & Benny's and Chiquito restaurants, is expected to complete at the start of the fourth quarter of this year. It already had been in the process of closing loss-making sites in the division, and any sites already closed will remain the responsibility of Restaurant Group.
