Disposal

Fairpoint today announces the disposal of its ancillary medico-legal business, PIX Limited ("PIX") for an enterprise value of £1.2m, payable in cash. PIX, established in 2012, has been providing medical records, reporting services and disbursement funding support to certain departments of the Group's legal services division.

On 28 March 2017 the Group sold the entire share capital of PIX to Premex Services Limited ("Premex"), a market leading provider of medico-legal services to the legal services industry. Furthermore, the Group has entered into a three year strategic partnership with Premex for on-going medical records and reporting services, which is expected to deliver operational efficiencies and improvements to working capital.

The proceeds of £1.2m will be used to support the working capital requirements of the Group.

The unaudited gross assets of PIX as at 31 December 2016 was £1.6m and the unaudited operating profit for PIX for the financial year ending December 2016 was £0.1m.
