The Capital Reduction will create additional capacity to deliver further returns to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet to support the Group's ongoing growth strategy in the Managed Services sector.
On 1 May 2026, the Company announced that it had successfully completed the sale of its entire data centre business, Redcentric Data Centres Limited, to Stellanor Datacenters Group Limited for an estimated £122.85 million. As previously announced, this transaction marked a pivotal milestone for the Group, enabling a substantial return of capital to shareholders which the Board intends to achieve via an equity Tender Offer at a price of 160 pence per share. The Tender Offer is expected to return in excess of £90 million to shareholders and will be subject to shareholder approval. A Circular containing full details of the Tender Offer, confirming the proposed price per share, amount payable and timetable, is expected to be published in June 2026, with settlement anticipated in July 2026.
The Capital Reduction is conditional upon the subsequent confirmation by the High Court of England and Wales of the cancellation. The expected date for the Court hearing to confirm the Capital Reduction and for its completion is the week commencing 29 June 2026. A further announcement will be made in due course following the conclusion of the Capital Reduction.
