Board changes

 

Sale of Apogee

 

LMS Capital plc ("LMS Capital" or "the Company") is pleased to report that it has sold its interest in Apogee, one of the UK's leading suppliers of digital document solutions, for cash consideration of £16 million. This represents a 2.1 times return on cash invested and an IRR of 30% since acquisition in 2010. The book value of this investment at 30 June 2012 was £13.5 million.

 

Board changes

 

Given the reducing size of the Company following the successful commencement of the realisation strategy and the consequent need to reduce overheads, Richard Christou (the current Chairman) and Mark Sebba have decided not to stand for re-election to the Board at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Martin Knight has agreed to take over as Chairman from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

 

The Company expects to announce its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2012 on Monday 18 March.
