Partial sale of stake in IMI Mobile
Gresham House Strategic plc ("GHS" or "the Company") is pleased
to announce that it has realised 42.2% of its holding in IMImobile
("IMI") for GBP9.6 million, which generated GBP4.96 million of
profits for the Company. This realisation represented a 19% IRR and
2.13x money multiple, significantly above the company's stated
target return of 15% IRR. Following the sale, the Company has a
resultant holding of 6.3% of the issued share capital of IMI.
Tony Dalwood, Gresham House Investment Committee Chairman for
Strategic Public Equity, commented:
"Gresham House remain supporters of IMImobile and the
considerable market opportunity the business is targeting, and as
such we have retained a significant investment in the company. It
was appropriate to rebalance portfolio weightings at this stage of
GHS' evolution after 3 years of Gresham House management. The
Strategic Public Equity approach is highly engaged with companies
that require growth and development capital, we therefore look
forward to continue to drive total shareholder return through
deployment in further long term investment opportunities."
