Sale of New Haven property

Sportech (LSE: SPO), an international betting technology business, is pleased to announce it has agreed the conditional sale (the "Sale") of its Sports Haven property in New Haven, Connecticut, USA (the "Property") to Criterion Group LLC (the "Buyer").

The Sale proceeds of US$6.75 million (£5.1 million) will be paid in cash on completion.  Completion is subject to the Buyer concluding acceptable due diligence on the Property, which is anticipated to conclude towards the end of March 2021.

The consideration represents a premium to the 30 June 2020 balance sheet gross asset value of the Property of US$1.65 million (£1.2 million).

The proceeds from the Sale will create further investment capital for the Group's Connecticut business and further strengthen the Group's financial position. At completion, the Group will enter a six-month lease for use of the Property for a rent of US$0.30 million. In the year ending 31 December 2019, the Property contributed US$-0.5 million (£-0.4 million) to the Group's loss before tax.

The Sale constitutes a Class 2 transaction under the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules.
