Commenting on the transaction, Paul Milner, Chairman of COLG,
said:
"We are delighted that all Resolutions were passed at today's
meeting. The Board believes that the acquisition of Milton Homes
presents the Company and its shareholders with an attractive
opportunity to acquire a business in the equity release sector.
Building on the potential that exists within CAML, Milton Homes
will enable the Group to develop a broad based financing business
and moreover the additional balance sheet strength will give access
to a wider range of funding lines. We have in place a strong and
experienced Board and senior management team ideally placed to
drive investor value. Today's news rubberstamps the deal, and we
can now look forward to working together as one entity"
