For Immediate Release 7 August 2013

 

 

C. A. Sperati (The Special Agency) PLC

("CAS" or the "Company")

 

Proposed Disposal of Greenwich Property - Supplemental Agreement

 

 

Further to the Company's announcement made on 15 April 2013 providing details of the conditional contract ("Principal Agreement") which it had entered into with Knightspur Homes Limited ("KHL") (a wholly owned subsidiary of Cavendish and Gloucester Properties Limited), to sell its freehold land and property at 54 Westcombe Hill, Greenwich, London SE10 0LR ("Greenwich") ("Disposal"), the Company is pleased to announce that it has today entered into a supplemental agreement with KHL ("Supplemental Agreement").

 

Under the term of the Supplemental Agreement it has been agreed that the total cash consideration will be £415,000 (Principal Agreement : £446,000) payable as to £315,000 (Principal Agreement : £171,000) on the completion date ("Completion") and a deferred payment of £100,000 (Principal Agreement : £100,000) on the date falling on the earlier of ten working days after KHL secures planning permission authorising redevelopment of Greenwich for mixed use purposes and 12 months (Principal Agreement : 18 months) following Completion. (The Principal Agreement also had a deferred payment of £175,000 payable six months after Completion).

Due to the alteration in the consideration payable the estimated taxation liability which is attributable to the Company following the proposed Disposal is approximately £30,000. Therefore, the Company will receive approximately £385,000 net of its tax liability following the Disposal.

 

As stated in the announcement of the 15 April the consideration in respect of the Disposal will provide the Company with additional working capital which will enable the Company to settle outstanding creditors and purchase stock for incoming contracts. The consideration will also be used to pay professional fees accrued in relation to the Disposal.

 

Oliver Fattal, Chief Executive Officer, commented; "The contract has been re-negotiated in order to bring forward deferred consideration payments due to the Company on the sale of Greenwich at a time when the Company's need for additional working capital is at an all-time high."

 

The Disposal constitutes a Class 1 Transaction under the Listing Rules and therefore remains conditional on the approval of Shareholders at a general meeting ("GM"). Shareholders will be provided with notification of the GM in conjunction with the dispatch of a circular, containing details of the proposed Disposal, in due course.
