Mears Group PLC
("Mears" or "the Group")
Disposal of Datacare Business Systems Limited ("Datacare")
Mears today announces the disposal of Datacare to Mavinwood plc generating net proceeds of £1.0m. Datacare was acquired earlier this year as part of the Supporta plc acquisition. At the time Mears acquired Datacare, the Group stated it would conduct a review of the business to determine whether it formed a part of Mears' long term strategy. Following this review, it was determined that Datacare is not core to the Group's strategy.
