Global Ports agreed to sell JSC «Logistika-Terminal» to PJSC TransContainer

Global Ports Investments PLC (and together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, "the Group"), (LSE ticker: GLPR) announces that First Container Terminal Inc., one of the Group's sea terminals, has signed an agreement to sell its 100% shares in JSC «Logistika-Terminal» ("LT"), one of the Group's two inland terminals, to PJSC TransContainer for a consideration of 1.9 billion Russian rubles to be paid upon completion of the transaction.

The transaction will allow the Group to optimize its inland terminal network focusing on the Yanino terminal, a modern multipurpose inland terminal in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. The Group intends to use the proceeds of the sale for further deleveraging, a key strategic priority. The transaction is subject to approval of relevant regulatory authorities.
