Capita, up 8.9% at 27.78 pence, 12-month range 19.89p-55.98p. The outsourcer reports a contract extension and a business disposal. Capita secures an extension worth GBP42.7 million to its contract with Barnet Council. It could be worth up to GBP57 million with indexation and potential additional work, it adds. Separately, Capita says it has agreed to sell payments business Pay360 to Access PaySuite, a division of Access Group, in a GBP150 million deal. "The sale will help reduce indebtedness and provide additional liquidity, which together shall further strengthen Capita's balance sheet, whilst also allowing Capita to enhance its digital offerings for clients," the company says.
