Mitie celebrates success of three Mitie model businesses
Mitie announces today that it has purchased employee minority
shareholdings of three of its successful 'Mitie Model'
businesses.
Mitie, which stands for Management Incentive Through Investment
Equity, has been partnering with entrepreneurs to grow British
businesses for over 25 years and has supported over 100 start-up
businesses using the Mitie Model.
Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE, Chief Executive of Mitie, said: "I am
delighted with the progress of these three businesses, which have
contributed to the development and innovation of our group."
"We see the Mitie Model as a differentiator in attracting
talented people to support our growth aspirations."
Transaction details:
Mitie Group plc (Mitie) today agreed to purchase certain
minority shareholdings of three Mitie subsidiary companies: Mitie
Care and Custody Limited ("MCCL"), Mitie Business Services UK
Limited ("MBSUKL") and Mitie Technical Facilities Management
Limited ("MTFML") in accordance with the respective articles of
association and shareholders' agreements of those companies.
The total maximum consideration for all three purchases amounts
to GBP16.1m. This will be satisfied as to GBP1.4m in cash and as to
the remaining GBP14.7m by the issue of 6,015,255 new ordinary
shares of 2.5p each in Mitie (the 'New Mitie Shares'), valued at
244.38 pence per share. This is the average of the closing middle
market price for the five banking days immediately preceding 26
July 2016. Earlier in this financial year, Mitie purchased its own
shares in the market to offset this share issue. The purchased
shares were cancelled following their acquisition.
As a result of these acquisitions Mitie will own 100% of the
issued share capital of MBSUKL and MTFML, and 93.14% of the issued
share capital of MCCL.
The shareholdings to be purchased, primarily held by certain of
the employees and senior management of the relevant subsidiary
companies, are detailed below:
- MCCL-27.42% of the issued share capital, comprising 170,022 B
ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each, for a consideration of GBP3.2m.
The consideration will be satisfied by GBP0.3m in cash and GBP2.9m
by the issue of 1,176,798 new Mitie Shares;
- MBSUKL - 27.29% of the issued share capital, comprising
116,000 B ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each, for a consideration of
GBP0.8m. The consideration will be satisfied by GBP0.1m in cash and
GBP0.7m by the issue of 275,428 new Mitie Shares; and
- MTFML - 8.93% of the issued share capital, comprising 952,000
B ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each, for a consideration of GBP12.1m.
The consideration will be satisfied by GBP1.0m in cash and GBP11.1m
by the issue of 4,563,029 new Mitie Shares.
The selling shareholders of each of the relevant subsidiary
companies have given Mitie certain warranties and, where
appropriate, assurances relating to past and future performance.
Where applicable, the Mitie shares issued as consideration are held
in safe custody and may be sold to meet any claims that Mitie may
have in the future in relation to those warranties and
assurances.
Application will be made shortly to the UK Listing Authority and
the LSE for the relevant New Mitie Shares to be admitted to the
Official List and to trading on the LSE. All new Mitie Shares
issued will rank pari passu with existing ordinary Mitie shares.
However the new Mitie Shares issued in respect of MCCL, MBSUKL and
MTFML will have a trading restriction applied until 24 August 2018.
It is expected that admission of the new Mitie Shares to the
Official List will become effective by mid-September.
