("Hayward Tyler", the "Company" or "Group")
Peterborough property - sale and leaseback agreement
Further to the announcement of the acquisition of Peter Brotherhood on 12 October 2015, the directors of Hayward Tyler Group plc (AIM: HAYT.L), the specialist engineering group, are pleased to announce the completion of the sale and leaseback of its 11.5 acre Peter Brotherhood site in Peterborough with Helical (Peterborough) Ltd ("HPL") a special purpose vehicle owned by Helical Bar plc.
Under the agreement, HPL has acquired the property for £7.5 million with Peter Brotherhood Ltd as the tenant and Hayward Tyler as the guarantor. Peter Brotherhood Ltd has signed a 15 year lease with a market rent of £575,000 per annum and subject to market reviews after 5 and 10 years. Hayward Tyler will prepay senior borrowings saving estimated interest costs of approximately £250,000 on an annual basis as a result of the sale and leaseback.
Nick Flanagan, CFO of Hayward Tyler, commented:
"We believe this transaction provides an excellent mechanism through which to further strengthen our balance sheet following the acquisition of Peter Brotherhood for £9.8 million last October. This agreement, combined with the additional revenues that Peter Brotherhood brings to the Group, further underlines the value of the acquisition to Hayward Tyler as we continue to develop our presence in the power generation, oil & gas, and industrial sectors."
