Domestic Asset Sale Update

 

Further to its initial announcement on 23 December 2019, Fulcrum announces an update on the sale of its domestic customer gas connection assets and associated meters to E.S. Pipelines Limited ("ESP").

The Group is pleased to confirm the completion of the transfer of the fourth tranche of its domestic customer gas connection assets to ESP on 30 November 2021, for a total consideration of £2.8 million. Cash of £2.7 million was received today, 30 November 2021, with the retention balance of £0.1 million expected to be received on 31 May 2023.

The Group has also received £0.1 million in cash in respect of the previous tranches of assets transferred. This additional payment is a result of the Group achieving the first enhanced payment milestone under the asset sale agreement.

The total gross consideration receivable by Fulcrum is expected to be c.£49 million. £28.6 million has been received to-date, leaving c.£20 million to be received.

The arrangement with ESP includes further milestone targets which, if achieved, would trigger additional enhanced payments of up to £3.8 million over the remaining term of the contract.
