Realisation of investment in Tovey Management Limited (trading as Access IS)
The Company is pleased to announce the sale of its investment in Tovey Management Limited ("Access IS") to ASSA ABLOY AB. The Company received ÂŁ7.04Â million in cash from the sale and generated a realised gain over cost over the life of the investment of ÂŁ4.99Â million, being the equivalent of 3.93Â pence per share.
In isolation, the impact of this sale on the Company's latest announced NAV per share (adjusted for subsequent dividends) of 52.78Â pence at 31 March 2020, would be an increase of 1.85Â pence per share. The Company emphasises that the increase in NAV per share from this realisation is in isolation from other changes in the Company's balance sheet, including valuation movements in the Company's investment portfolio, that may also have affected the NAV per share at 30 June 2020. This NAV will be released on or around 3 September 2020.
All four Mobeus-advised VCTs realised their investment in Access IS. Total cash proceeds received by the four Mobeus-advised VCTs over the life of their investment in Access IS are ÂŁ27.81 million, against an original investment cost of ÂŁ11.00Â million. This represents a return of 2.53Â times the original investment cost and an IRR of 23.4% for each VCT in the five years that this investment was held.
