Warner Estate Holdings PLC ("Warner Estate" or "the Group")
Warner Estate disposes of its 50% interest in Radial Distribution Limited
Warner Estate Joint Ventures Limited, a subsidiary of Warner Estate, together
with its 50% joint venture partner, Uberior Ventures Limited, entered into a
conditional agreement for the sale of their interests in Radial Distribution
Limited (RDL) for GBP500,000 each to a Guernsey based company backed by London &
Stamford Property Limited on 7 May 2010. The disposal values the RDL assets
including cash at GBP215.5m. The RDL assets, as at 31 March 2010, had an
unaudited valuation of GBP206.7m being a net initial yield of 7.3%. RDL
consists of 16 high bay distribution warehouses in the UK. The Board of Warner
Estate expects the sale to complete this month.
Warner Estate's investment in RDL is held at GBPNil in its unaudited accounts as
at 31 March 2010 and hence the Group's 50% share of the unaudited net profit of
RDL for the year ended 31 March 2010, GBP3.2m, is not recognised in the Group's
unaudited consolidated profit and loss account for the year to 31 March 2010.
The unaudited asset management fees receivable by Warner Estate under the RDL
contract for the year ended 31 March 2010 are GBP0.5m.
Warner Estate will receive from RDL approximately GBP3.3m in consideration for
the termination of its asset management contract. Following this disposal
Warner Estate will have GBP1.4bn of assets under management with annual asset
management fee income of just over GBP9m.
The consideration received by Warner Estate will be used to manage debt and to
invest in the development and expansion of its asset management business.
Philip Warner, Chairman of Warner Estate, commented:
"We are pleased to have achieved a good price both for these assets and for the
disposal of a relatively small part of our asset management business."
