Coral said that the sales will provide the company with the opportunity to “crystallise an attractive return on invested capital with respect to the Sale Companies, reduce net debt and also to provide additional financial flexibility to further develop and support the recent progress of the Continuing Group.”
The deal is expected to be completed in February 2021.
Shares of Coral Products are up over 63% at 10p, after initially reaching highs of 10.95p earlier in the session.
