RBG Holdings plc
("RBG" or the "Group")
Sale of LionFish Litigation Finance Limited
RBG Holdings plc (AIM: RBGP), the legal and professional services group, is pleased to announce it has completed the disposal of LionFish Litigation Finance Limited ("LionFish") to Blackmead Infrastructure Limited ("Blackmead")(1) .
Last year, the Board announced the decision to divest LionFish, a non-core business which finances litigation matters run by third-party solicitors, to reduce the Group's exposure to third-party litigation funding commitments.
The consideration for the disposal is up to GBP3.07 million, comprising an immediate payment of GBP1.07 million to be used for repayment of an intercompany loan, an additional payment of up to GBP2.0 million, subject to performance conditions to be used to repay additional intercompany debt, and GBP1 for the entire share capital of LionFish(2) . The proceeds from the sale will be used for working capital purposes and to reduce net debt of the Group.
The Company's payout under the performance conditions is subject to the successful outcome of cases being acquired by Blackmead. The level of payout is dependent on the return generated by each case and subject to a waterfall whereby Blackmead, as principal risk taker, will be paid a preferential amount upon successful outcome.
As part of the disposal, Blackmead will acquire four of the eight live investments within LionFish with a net asset value of GBP4.05 million. RBG will be fully discharged from ongoing funding commitments in relation to the disposed investments which are currently estimated to be GBP2.6 million. The four investments that the Group is retaining are fully funded with an asset value of GBP2.23 million. Accordingly, the Group will report a non-cash loss on the disposal of GBP0.98 million.
Jon Divers, CEO, RBG, said: "Having agreed that LionFish would be better placed in a dedicated asset management business, we are pleased to have completed this disposal. We have delivered cash back to the Group, reduced our net debt, with the potential to receive additional cash depending on LionFish's future performance. Our focus is now on driving organic growth from our established legal businesses, Rosenblatt and Memery Crystal, and our M&A business, Convex Capital, which has a growing pipeline of potential opportunities."
(1) The ultimate beneficial owner of Blackmead is Averon Park Limited. Foresight Group LLP is the manager of investments made by Averon Park Limited
(2) In the Company's 2022 Annual Report & Accounts, LionFish was classified as a Discontinued Operation with operating losses (before non-underlying items) of GBP4.8m (2021: GBP3.5m operating profit)
