Sweett realises investment in Scottish hub North Territory

Sweett Group (AIM: CSG), the international construction and property consultancy, is pleased to announce that it has transferred its interest in the Scottish hub North Territory project to a new joint venture company jointly owned by the Group and Equitix Hubco 3 Limited ("Equitix").

Under the terms of the transfer agreement, Equitix will provide substitute financing for the two existing hub North schemes and fund future schemes to the extent previously underwritten by the Group.

The cash amount paid to the Group in consideration for the transfer was approximately £900,000. The cash will be used to reduce Group debt.

This transaction completes the Group's exit from its direct investments in PFI/PPP projects. Retained investments are under £100,000 in aggregate and the Group has no future funding commitments attaching to this business activity.

Dean Webster, Chief Executive Officer of Sweett Group, said:

"The Group has now completed its strategic asset disposal programme of its investments in PFI/PPP projects. These investments have provided a robust return and enabled the Group to reduce its debt. While we have no future funding commitments, we will still remain an adviser in this specialist field"
