Realisation of investment in Waterfall Services Limited

 

The Board of Neptune-Calculus Income and Growth VCT plc (the "Company") is pleased to announce the sale on 22 December 2014 of the Company's investment in Waterfall Services Limited ("Waterfall") to a company owned by the existing management team and backed by LDC.

 

The Company is receiving cash proceeds for its equity holding of approximately £1.9m resulting in a gain of approximately £1.3 million, equivalent to approximately 12p per share, compared with the carrying value of £568,387 disclosed in the Company's half yearly report for the six months to 30 June 2014.

 

The Company originally paid £50,129 for the equity in Waterfall and £450,000 for preference shares and loan stock which were redeemed in 2011 and 2013 respectively.

 

This realisation results in total cash being received for equity, preference shares and loan stock (including dividends and interest) of approximately £2.6m by the Company over the life of the investment, representing 5.3 times the Company's original investment of £0.5m.

 

The directors are considering options for the use of the proceeds and more details will be given in the New Year.

 

Waterfall is one of the UK's leading independent contract catering companies, with particularly strong positions in the education and care and welfare markets. Neptune-Calculus Income and Growth VCT plc made the investment in Waterfall in 2007.
