Following the cautionary announcement dated 26 January 2022 in relation to the sale of Absa House in Ebene, Mauritius, (click here for original announcement), shareholders are advised that the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Grit Services Limited ("GSL"), has fulfilled the conditions precedent to the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA"), and that the disposal of 100% of GSL's interests in BH Property Investments Ltd ("BH Property") to Lavastone Ltd ("Lavastone") has now been concluded.

Inclusive of transaction costs, and post finalisation accounts, the net equity sale proceeds to Grit are MUR 191 million, or US Dollar 4.2 million (vs MUR 180 million or US Dollar 4.1 million initially expected), which will be applied towards the Company's revolving credit facilities and further debt reduction, ahead of recycling proceeds, over the medium term, into its higher-yielding secured strategic pipeline that is expected to further enhance the resilience of the Group's portfolio and result in increased distributable income and enhanced capital value to Grit's shareholders.
