John Laing Group ("John Laing") Update on disposal of shareholding in A1 motorway project in Poland

11 January 2017

On 4 November 2016, John Laing Group plc ("John Laing"), the international originator, active investor and manager of infrastructure projects, announced that it had entered into an agreement to dispose of its 29.69% investment in Gdansk Transport Company S.A. ("GTC") to FS Amber Holdings B.V. ("FS Amber") for €146.9 million (£131.0 million) subject to certain reductions and adjustments. Completion of the sale was subject to obtaining various consents and satisfying certain conditions.

Since that announcement, as a consequence of the exercise of pre-emption rights by a co-shareholder in GTC, NDI Autostrada SP. Z.O.O. ("NDIA"), John Laing has entered into an agreement to dispose of its investment in GTC to NDIA, for the same price and on the same terms as to potential reductions and adjustment to final consideration as previously agreed with FS Amber.

Completion of the disposal to NDIA is subject to obtaining certain consents and satisfying certain conditions and is expected to occur within the first quarter of 2017.

Don't suppose there is a chance of putting JLIF chart in the header please skinny?
Not really worth starting a new thread for it, but the two seem to roughly mirror each other. Maybe a smaller chart???

Olivier Brousse, John Laing's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"It has been an active year so far and I am pleased to report growth in NAV, after taking into account the reduction in value on our two Manchester Waste investments. We have made good progress on investment commitments and disposals and are on track to achieve our full year guidance on both fronts. As regards our portfolio, the New Royal Adelaide Hospital reached a key milestone with its commercial acceptance by the Government of South Australia in June, and our team was instrumental in getting to this stage. Looking to the second half and beyond, our teams continue to bring forward a steady stream of new investments, while the asset management teams are actively managing projects through the construction phase. We continue to see strong opportunities for attractive growth in our business by scaling up our model in our three core regions: North America, Asia Pacific and Europe."
