Formation Group Plc - Profit Share Agreement

FORMATION GROUP PLC

(“Formation” or the “Company”)

Profit Share Agreement

Formation is pleased to announce that it has entered into a profit share agreement with London (North) Properties Limited (“London (North)”) and Pinacle Developments Limited (“Pinacle”) in relation to a development property at 34 Wembley Hill Road, Wembley (“Profit Share Agreement”).

The property has been granted planning approval to develop 89 apartments and associated car parking. The property also has an alternative planning approval for a 21 storey building containing 198 apartments, with car parking, communal and private amenity space, public realm improvements, landscaping and other associated works.

Under the terms of the Profit Share Agreement, Formation has advanced a loan of £5 million to London (North), to continue to allow London (North) to work on the development which commenced in February 2017.  The loan attracts no interest but instead entitles Formation to 40 per cent. of the net profit arising on the development (i.e. the profit generated from sales of units after the repayment of debt utilised to purchase the site, the cost of development, taxation and repayment of the loan advanced by the Company). Payment of funds in relation to the Profit Share Agreement will be made to Formation once all of the units within the development have been sold. 

David Kennedy and Patrick Kennedy, Chief Executive and Non-executive Director of Formation respectively, are also directors of both London (North) and Pinacle and therefore the agreement is considered to be a transaction with a related party under the NEX Exchange Growth Market Rules for Issuers.  The Independent Directors of the Company consider that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
