Proposed Sale of Calsafe Group (Holdings) Ltd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust PLC ('Dunedin Enterprise'), the private
equity investment trust which invests in lower mid-market management buyouts,
management buyins and growing businesses, announces that it has entered into a
conditional agreement for the sale of its holding in Calsafe Group (Holdings)
Ltd ('Calsafe').
Dunedin Enterprise currently owns 32.4% of the fully diluted ordinary share
capital of Calsafe, a company which manufactures and erects modular buildings
through its subsidiary company, Caledonian Building Systems Ltd.
The Shareholders of Calsafe have entered into a conditional contract with
Champion Enterprises Inc USA ('Champion'), a Michigan-based corporation quoted
on the New York Stock Exchange, that is expected to lead to the sale of Calsafe
to Champion on 7 April 2006. Champion announced the proposed acquisition to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on 27 February, 2006.
The sale of Calsafe to Champion would represent an uplift of £6.6 million to
Dunedin Enterprise's valuation of its holding in Calsafe at 31 October 2005
(which equates to an uplift of 22p per ordinary share).
