TERRACE HILL GROUP PLC ('the Group')
OFFER FOR GROSVENOR LAND HOLDINGS PLC ('Grosvenor')
The Group refers to its announcement earlier today of an offer, in cash with a
share alternative, to acquire the entire issued share capital of Grosvenor in so
far as not already owned or controlled by the Group or Oakburn Properties plc or
others acting in concert with the Group.
This is a substantial transaction in terms of the AiM Rules, and in addition to
the contents of the earlier announcement, the following information is given.
Grosvenor is a property investment and development company, and recently has
concentrated on starting to create a network of business centres under the '
Powerhub' brand, presently having three centres, at Maidstone, Crawley and
Manchester.
The Group intends to continue to operate Grosvenor as a subsidiary within its
Commercial Division, and the addition of Grosvenor to that Division will widen
its property interests both in nature and location. Particular, the property in
Manchester is the Group's first commercial property investment in the North West
of England.
The financial effects of the transactions are as follows. As regards
profitability, the immediate impact will be marginal, as Grosvenor has been
making modest profits not very different from the loss of interest on the
purchase price which may be suffered by the Group meeting the cost out of cash
resources, although it is planned to seek increased profitability by improvement
and integration. Further, as the offer price is at a discount to the net asset
value per share of Grosvenor, the net asset value of the Group will increase.
