Property Sale


Six properties in Scotland have been sold for a total consideration of £6.75

properties are the surplus sites which will be vacated following the completion
of the previously announced supply chain consolidation project, planned to be
completed by the end of the calendar year.

A.G.BARR p.l.c. announce plans for a capital investment of around £6.5 million
in its Cumbernauld and Mansfield facilities. It is anticipated that this
investment will be offset partially by further property disposal proceeds to be

view to closing its Atherton site by early 2007.


One-off costs, relating largely to the closure of the Atherton site, are
estimated at £3.2 million and ongoing operating cost improvements are expected
to be circa £1 million per annum phased in from 2007/08.
