Update Regarding Exposure to Carillion plc

UPDATE REGARDING EXPOSURE TO CARILLION PLC

15 January 2018

 

International Public Partnerships Limited ('the Company', 'INPP'), the listed infrastructure investment company, notes the recent announcement by Carillion plc ('Carillion') that it has taken steps to enter into compulsory liquidation with immediate effect.

 

The asset management team within the Investment Adviser has been aware for some time of the issues affecting Carillion plc and has developed contingency plans accordingly. These involve the asset manager working to transition the projects for which Carillion Services Limited ('Carillion FM') have facilities management responsibilities to a new facilities management contractor or contractors. Over recent months the asset manager has had specific discussions with identified alternative contractors to replace Carillion on affected projects and these will now be further developed. In the meantime, all the affected facilities are currently open and operating normally. Carillion FM have also indicated that they expect to continue to discharge all their facilities management obligations in line with their contractual requirements in the short term.

 

INPP advises that facilities management services are provided by Carillion FM to c.3% (by investment fair value) of the Company's portfolio. All the affected projects are operational. The liquidation of Carillion plc is also in some cases an event entitling project lenders to "lock up" distributions from projects where they have guaranteed the performance of the facilities management services. While the occurrence of any such "lock up" would not be expected to have any material impact on INPP's cashflows for the foreseeable future it would require the taking of remedial action and the contingency planning noted above has taken this into account.

 

The Company does not currently believe that the liquidation of Carillion is likely to have any significant valuation impact on the Company but will continue to monitor and manage the situation as it evolves.
