Rotala PLC on Thursday proposed the sale of its Bolton depot and the majority of its related vehicles. The Tividale, West Midlands-based bus operator said it exchanged contracts with Transport for Greater Manchester and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to sell depot and related vehicles for a total of £30.4 million. The company said proceeds will be used to repay a mortgage and hire purchase debt for around £14.9 million and to repay remaining outstanding drawings on its revolving commercial facility for £10.8 million. Further, cash will be used to strengthen the company’s balance sheet. The sale will need consent from the superior landlord. Rotala shares were 3.1% lower at 45.04 pence each in London on Thursday morning. Copyright 2023 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
