ANNOUNCEMENT
PENDRAGON PLC ('Pendragon')
Property Joint Venture
We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed a joint venture
agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC
('RBS'), which has subscribed in cash for a 49% equity shareholding in our new
subsidiary company PPHO Limited ('PPHO').
PPHO, which owns properties which are leased to Pendragon, has entered into a
ten year loan facility agreement with RBS to fund the business on a long term
committed basis. The new loan facility will be used to repay the existing intra
group loan account with Pendragon. The gross assets of PPHO at completion are
£105.3 million.
As a result of this joint venture agreement Pendragon receives net cash proceeds
of £98.0 million and will recognise a profit before tax of £6.2 million.
